So, the song is about Johnny "Guitar" Watson, not Johnny Guitar.

Taper's Section September 21 - September 27, 2009 They are really turning out the products these days: Grateful Dead Scrapbook: Deluxe Edition

That is a clip from A Film About Jimi Hendrix. I have the soundtrack, and the film on video. It is out on DVD now.

Although it will take some clicking, you can utilize the links below to find out if a show where the song was played is available: Wilcobase listing for Not For The Season. Wilcobase listing for Laminated Cat.

I think the story goes that he checked in his bags, but never got on the plane. He is also suspected of being behind the incident of Hendrix being kidnapped. You can read about all of this in various Hendrix books. I would recommend this one:

Interesting. A lot of people seem to think he faked his death and went into hiding with large sums of money.

According to all Hendrix books I have read, and documentaries I have seen, Michael Jeffery was a pretty shady character. This has always been the statement about his death:

It could be that you would like the latter Hendrix. I am much more inclined to want to hear Straight Ahead, than say, Foxy Lady. Speaking of mysterious rock star deaths, I read a while back that the death of Brian Jones is being looked into again. He and Jimi were close friends.

I see. You are just stirring up shit for the hell of it. I guess you can do that as long as you can get away with it.

That's a good point.

I wonder how she and Arlo get along then. (Supposedly, he converted to Christianity.) I suppose I have to wonder why he has not did anything with the lyrics. Or maybe he has. I am not really familiar with his work.

I hesitate to say this, but what you are doing Mr. Crow is not really helping the situation. If you do something over and over again, and it upsets people, "I am only joking" does not really work after a while. I have noticed that you have been posting such things a lot as of late. What I have learned is that if someone makes it a point to constantly note such negativity, then ultimately they are really just creating more negative space. It's best to just let it go. If no one responds to such posts, or post in a thread that is clearly bullshit, then it will sink out of sight. I don't say th

I don't know who keeps leaving those old RS issues there, but I grab them as I find them. So far, the issues I have found are in pristine condition. Speaking of Rolling Stone live albums/concert films, I am still waiting for an official DVD release of this one: Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones. I have a bootleg of it I found online.

Yet another informative post from Thrasher's Wheat.

Oddly enough, at the laundromat yesterday morning I found the issue of Rolling Stone from 1987 that lists the best live shows, and the Madison Square show is listed in there. Jimi Hendrix - RS 501 (June 4, 1987)

Of course, there is also this famous bootleg. The link is to a Audio Blog. He has the show up in FLAC or Mp3. Rolling Stones - Live R Than You'll Ever Be (1969)

I have not heard the album yet, I will be getting it Tuesday. I don't think I have listened to the last one more than twice, so I am probably wasting my money.

A review by way of No Depression: REVIEW: Big Star: Keep An Eye On The Sky (box set) I actually never got into Big Star. I am a big fan of The Box Tops though.

There is mention of that on Expecting Rain today: Johnny Rivers - Positively 4th Street (Youtube link). I use to have the album that song is on when I was a teenager. It is called Realization(1968).

It's certainly the first new album (not that I buy very many new albums) that I have really gotten into for a while.

I always thought this was a hoot:

I think I have read in a few different places that Abbey Road is selling more than the rest. Lefsetz Letter

A Day in the Life of Glenn Beck (Time photo essay) That is quite a number. 82 pics from Glenn Beck's "9/12 Project" rally in DC

I saw this story online at various places a while back:
