Analogman

He is going to have a band.

Old97's News

Which is now owned by the Concord Music Group. I didn't know he changed labels.

I would. Chris is not doing that scream singing deal now, he hasn't for a while. I saw this on Jambands.com yesterday: A lot of the shows are popping up on bt.etree.org now.

Bob Lefsetz had a post about this album the other day: Mellancamp He also has a box set coming out. He is putting on quite a show - a stripped down set, then a film, and then a full band set.

I did not know about that. As someone who use to post too much negative shit, it does get old, when you stand back and look at it from a distance. I see that on about every fansite I look at, but I suppose it sticks out more on the site you spend the most time viewing. That's a shame, as it is a great site. I use to to follow HyperRust (the website), but I don't think it has been updated in several years. The thing is, Neil, like Dylan can and does whatever the hell he wants.

I don't really care for either of those albums, but I would rather listen to Lions. It appears Steve does not think very much of Lions either. I recall there was a code card in the cd case to download a live show. I had no idea what that was about at the time. I also have a copy of the Lions premiere web cast they did. (Youtube links)

It looks like he was right. As he is going to be on that horrible show.

Watch: Roger Waters and David Gilmour’s July reunion

Bob Dylan tries new ticket-selling model for San Francisco gig That is an interesting idea. It's like the old days, but I don't suppose the road manager will be walking around with paper bags full of money this time.

Neil Young to Tour Gulf Coast In September

That's true. I forgot about that.

He also likes Johnny Rivers version of Positively 4th Street.

There is - Clinton Heylin.

I didn't figure anyone would get that, unless they were a Dylan freak of some sort. How about Bruce Springsteen's version of Chimes Of Freedom?

I agree with what he is saying. But then, for me Dylan is always been about the lyrics.

Oh I meant all of those pop bands. Not Fairport Convention. Manfred Man also did Just Like A Woman (1966). I suppose some of that was due to success The Byrds had covering Dylan. Which I have never really cared for all that much. I don't consider Ballad of Easy Rider a Dylan song, as he gave McGuinn the opening, and Roger wrote the rest.

I think a lot of those later British Invasion bands did not really have the songwriting talent The Beatles had, so they turned to doing covers in search of a hit. I wonder who was the first British band to cover Dylan? Manfred Man?

Fotheringay - Too Much of Nothing

Pretty cool story: When Heartbreaker Mike Campbell met a young fan, he didn't just string him along

I'd say you are right. Some of them go back to Wicked Lester, and beyond. You should check out that book (KISS: Behind the Mask - Official Authorized Biography).

In that really good KISS book I mentioned around here before, Gene talks about that song. There is (or was) a video on Youtube of Gene and Paul doing that song acoustically. I still think those first three albums are great.

I got it Baby Gurl.

Goin' Blind is one of my favorite KISS songs.
