I learned about these things from my parents, and I don't think they ever owned any Stones albums. A neighbor gave me an original pressing of Satisfaction (45), and someone else gave me Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2) (shaped like a stop sign) which were the first two Stones records I ever owned. I still have them, of course.

That reminds that I was sort of taught that if you like The Beatles, you were sort of automatically against The Stones. Which is odd, I know. They were in fact quite close in real life. Mick Jagger was hanging out with John off and on right up until the end of his life. The other day I was giving a young fellow a lecture about Dylan. He was asking me about the No Direction Home documentary, and all he owns is that and some greatest hits cd. He was surprised to learn that Dylan was not his real name, and this he is a Jew. Of course, I told him that two dudes in KISS were also Jews. He did not

According to the liner notes, it was George.

From what I have read, it was Dhani Harrison who got the ball rolling on Rock Band, and got the others to go along with the idea. Which surprised me.

I was at that first show. Those were my first two Wilco shows.

I was at that show. That was the 4th show with Nels. Is that correct? I've said this before, but he was actually the first guy in the band I ever talked to. I asked him a question about one of his pedals.

At least here we (I) don't get blank stares, when we go on about Jimi Hendrix's original name, or the invention of ADT or what have you. I appreciate that, if nothing else. I suppose part of the deal with The Beatles is the cultural phenomenon around them, which I can't really separate from the music, although sometimes I can.

What else is one suppose to do with knowledge no one gives a shit about - except post it in a place where people gather to talk about stuff no one gives a shit about.

Miss O'Dell has a book out.

I always find the talk of Dylan and The Beatles interesting. I believe The Beatles did not care for him at first, but then, John became rather taken with him. You can clearly see this in the Help! film. He even began to dress like Dylan. It is also been said that one of the reasons Dylan "went electric" was due to the success of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. They shared some common musical influences - such as Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, and Elvis. I always point to the comment made by Mick Jagger that before Dylan "people were writing euphemistic songs about love". Including Th

I always get up at 6am, and listen to KISS records.

I posted this elsewhere, but I decided to move it here:

It was for a photo-op. If you get the book KISS Behind The Mask, you will see all sorts of photos of them in studios, soundchecks, etc. without make-up on. I think they only put it on before shows, and for photo sessions. That is really good book to read - as I have said before. There is a lot detail about how the albums were put together.

They recorded a whole album together that never came out. That is most likely Dylan's first or second home in Woodstock. I do not know which one it is. The kid in the photo is Jakob Dylan (or is it Jesse?).

Oh, I was not busting on you. I think you would like that book.

I think there is a line in the book that says about what you said there. You should read that book.

Interesting.

That sounds like a quote from the Robert Shelton book.

I have never heard any of the records, nor would I really want to hear them. I found that info on the Crazy Horse Wikipedia page (of course).

Jimi Hendrix: Sessions: The Complete Studio Recording Sessions, 1963-1970 by John McDermott, Billy Cox, and Eddie Kramer (A good description of all the recording sessions, but the layout makes it sort of hard to read.) Are You Experienced?: The Inside Story Of The Jimi Hendrix Experience by Noel Redding and Carol Appleby (This book reminds me of the Levon Helm book. He goes into detail about how bad he was ripped off.) Jimi Hendrix: The Intimate Story of a Betrayed Musical Legend by Sharon Lawrence (She was a reporter who knew Jimi. I have not read this one yet.) Black Gold: The Lost Ar

That opening reminded me of Stand By Me, and an old SNL skit.

Anvil are on That Metal Show this week.

Anyone have anything they want to trade for a toaster? Does it have slots for hot dogs?
