You may already know this - there is an active Wilco album by album/song by song thread at the Steve Hoffman Forum right now.

I learned about him by way of OUI magazine. I was in the military at the time.

The only book I have of his Play The Piano Drunk. . . and a Christmas card from Black Sparrow Press with a poem of his inside.

I've never read anything about Churchill before. I'm sticking to rock stars books now. Since I bought a bunch of them a while back. I have been trying to figure out a way to move the Barnes and Noble e-books I bought years ago to my Fire Tablet. But I don't think there is a way. It used to be you actually downloaded the file. And then it at some point it became just syncing your device with the what you had in your e-book account. I am still thinking about the unlimited Amazon e-book deal. I don't know if I will be reading enough e-books a month to justify spending that money.

Aha - I didn't need to know about the underwear. LOL. Anyhow - I guess I had high expectations - I was thinking Devil in The White City. But the Churchill book was not that. I think you are right though. It's a look behind the curtain. And you find out who was sleeping with who along the way.

That could be right. I probably saw it on Cinemax around 1980.

The other day I happened to see a video on YT of The Ramones on The Sha-Na- Na Show. I recall watching that show. But I do not recall The Ramones being on there. Of course - I don't think I knew who The Ramones were at the time.

I read that a while back. I'll tell you what I thought about it after you are finished. I bought a bunch of books recently. It may be a while before I get to them. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young: The Wild, Definitive Saga of Rock's Greatest Supergroup Long Distance Voyagers: The Story of the Moody Blues 1965-1979 Up Jumped the Devil: The Real Life of Robert Johnson Deep Purple: Wait for the Ricochet: The Story of D

Someone should ask Jeff if he is familiar with these guys: The New Tweedy Brothers

I recall reading that. Led Zeppelin were supposed to also do something like that - but that seems to have not happened.

I may watch this. I recall seeing most of those games (at least the ones that were on TV). Those guys went from heroes to zeros. It's a shame really.

You can Google it (there was a lot of stink about it).

I'm guessing you weren't around here in the Wilco Volkswagen commercial days?

Thank you for the work you did. I'd say you are taking the right path.

Yea - personally I don't want to mess with such things. Maybe it's best to share it privately.

Ah - I see.

I wonder how they got in touch with Peter? (Note - I have not watched any of these shows.) That Little Richard clip is from a film called A Film About Jimi Hendrix (1973).

I don't think I have watched this before: U2- Outside It's America (1987). Adam looks like a character out of a WWII movie.

No talk of why he played that? I suppose most people here know the story.

It's pretty amazing. I don't know all the legal stuff - but Phil must have the rights to post the stuff. As I was watching those videos I could not help but cry for several reasons. Their music affects me deeply. Those clips are certainly better quality than what we have seen. I can only hope they do some big re-release some day. I still have the original VHS tape I got way back when. And I got to see the film in a theater the week it came out. Actually I saw it three times.

Phil Joanou is putting up Rattle and Hum out-takes on Vimeo. (news/link by way of u2songs) I don't ever recall seeing The Edge play a Telecaster before.

I recall reading Love Medicine/The Beet Queen/Tracks/The Bingo Palace a long time ago.

I think that last time I saw the band (2006) it was less than 20 dollars.

Interesting mix and song choice:

I really like that song For What It's Worth. I may get the cds at some point.
