I wonder why Helen Mirren would want the job? That makes no sense to me. Ben Whishaw seems like a good fit.

I suppose Benedict Cumberbatch is out, but still, that is who I would like to see as the doctor.

I was surprised to learn they have been doing . That's probably my favorite Keith song.

I know someone who has a very early pressing of the album - it has different song titles listed. I've always liked that album, but it sounds bad. Maybe the remastering will help with that problem. I'd like to have the four disc version - although I don't know that I am willing to spend 50 bucks on cds anymore.

Brothers and Sisters - 4 different versions: (out June 25th)

I am "friends" on Facebook with a certain person who was in Jim's life that Ray often dismissed. She posted something positive about him when she learned of his passing. I thought that was pretty cool.

This is a nice interview with Ray:

I think there are some quotes about it at that link. I believe they went there, looked around, and that was the end of it.

He's in the Beatles documentary. I forget where exactly, but I think Ringo tells a few stories about him. He is also the reason they almost bought that island in Greece. Alexis Mardas

I think there's a George Harrison quote out there somewhere - possibly in that Rolling Stone issue devoted to his guitar collection - where he talks about such things. I think he said something like "I see guitars I may have held for 30 seconds being sold as a Beatles guitar by someone I don't know for lots of money". Magic Alex was quite the con man.

I don't recall seeing it in the Beatles gear book. (It is in the book - page 209. It's called a Kensington.)

It's on the 1995 re-master of The Who Sell Out.

There is a Who version of that song - but it is nowhere near as powerful as the demo. The sound on that recording is simply amazing.

My favorite Beatles movie: Help! Comes to Blu-Ray (I have to wonder why Billboard used a Sgt. Pepper photo instead of a Help! era photo.)

I have often wondered about that myself. My guess is that they wanted him in the ad, instead of some unknown (not famous) session musician.

Kicking Television (I took that Wilco photo with one of those disposable cameras.) The Dylan photo was used in a Fender advertisement (I think).

Pittsburgh - 2003 my first Wilco show. The Flying V that SRV is holding is probably Albert King's guitar.

I figure they are limiting how many of these they make because not that many people buy cds anymore, let alone boxsets. I would think it's mostly older people who have the bucks to spend who end up buying these releases. I am surprised Rhino is still putting out cds. I have to say I am sort of unhappy with them at the moment - due to the fact they are not releasing the Faces cds.

You have to wonder why the tapes have not been turned over by this point. I can understand getting off on having the original reels, but you would think by this time they would be ready to hand them over.

Two separate articles. One is with some guy who seemed to know the story of the tapes, and then there is the interview with Betty. I have not looked at the books in a while, so I could be wrong.

There is a long story about that in the The Deadhead's Taping Compendium (Volume 2). If I recall correctly, it was about money, and the band refused to pay.

There was an article on Billboard yesterday saying the ticket problems were not true. I have to say Lefsetz is not the only place I read that - as posted above by our friend from across the sea. There were reports that Keith was actually playing this time around, and not merely posing with his guitar. But I have also read that his playing is crap.

I will. I was watching/listening to Phish videos a lot last week.
