I think without him, we would not have rock and roll as we know it today. I never really got into his music all that much, although I admire the cd and concert film I mentioned in my post. As you know, the music of the mid 60s-mid 70s is my favorite music to listen to, and he certainly was a major influence on those bands. Almost every time I read an interview with the members of one of the British beat/blues bands, he is often cited as one of the main reasons they wanted to form a band and make rock and roll music. I suppose his place in American culture overshadows the music he created

I recall exactly where I was when I heard that he died. I was eleven years old. Ernst Jorgensen worked on this release: Elvis at Sun A great concert film: Elvis: That's the Way It Is (1970) Two movies: Elvis Meets Nixon (1997) Bubba Ho-Tep (2002) A collection of short stories: Elvis Rising: Stories on the King

Thanks, mate.

Johnny Magic video - Neil Young

I didn't even see it. It must have popped up during the night.

I don't know if it something I need to have, but I will probably buy it. I am still trying to track down the Feb 2009 show that was out there to snag for a while. From what I have found, it was on a few BT sites before being taken down. If anyone has any leads, let me know. I spent some time searching for it on Saturday, but found nothing.

I read somewhere recently about a bank that was running out of safe deposit boxes because people are taking their retirement money and putting it in a box, instead of leaving it where it was. It seems absurd. Until you have lost a bunch of money, that is.

Link Anonymous post from Lefsetz's blog:

We had some discussion about this in the Neko thread. RETAIL: Tanking CD Sales Shutter Stores The article is not online yet, but I just read the opening of it in the new print issue of Rolling Stone. The article states that the reason Border's is doing this is that they are going to possibly get rid of 70% of their cds and dvds. It also talks about the Virgin Megastores that are closing.

I was just watching that and the promo for next week.

I'll go with this - since I am watching Queen videos on Youtube today:

Lefsetz has a long post about the shows up on his blog today.

One of my favorite Page solos.

I've always thought the song Woodstock stuck out like a sore thumb on Deja Vu. They should have just put the song out as a stand alone single. As I have read, they had a hard time putting that album together, as everyone was off on their own trip.

There is a dude on The Inspiration Channel with a wig on and a bad face job trying to get people to send the network 777 dollars. I think this is what he is promising for the donation: I sometimes wonder how people get away with doing that sort of thing. I find it particularly troubling that someone would prey on those who have lost their jobs.

This guy, PJDooWop has a bunch of Doo Wop and Northern Songs up on his Youtube channel.

It's just the show MC reading a statement about how no taping is allowed. ha ha ha ha. She does not allow taping of her shows.

Yes, and here is a tie in for this discussion:
