He juggles making mediocre rock music and being a tequila salesman quite well.

That seems all the rage these days - began by the success of the Rod Stewart albums of songs from the good old days. This is how the Stones began - covering all those old blues/rock songs.

Plus - we are once again talking about the show tunes/brill building thing vs. the blues/country thing.

What I ment was - they had a whole group of people behind what they did. Case in point - Ronnie Spector recently went through yet another lawsuit with her former husband in an attempt to get money for the songs she sang on - the case failed. I don't mean to knock the whole girl group thing - although, it is not my cup of tea. At least with the early British Invasion bands they played thier own instruments and wrote songs - although some more than others of course.

Also - I think The Ronnettes, The Shangri-las, etc. were sort of like the Britney Spears/Christine Aguilera of thier day.

I don't care for her either.

Any comments from The Dead Milkmen?

And PAtti Smith and REM. I don't see anything special about VH outside of EVH's flashy guitar playing. I suppose they are getting in due to popularity and record sales.

I read The New Yorker at the laundromat - some woman has been leaving them there for 15 years.

Here, we have one shitrock right leaning paper that you have to pay to see even online. All together, we have upwards of 75 newspapers in the state - I know this as I have to deal with them everyday.

None I can no longer find a music magazine that I want to read. I was buying Harp, but the articles all have "sounds like Neil Young" within the text somewhere - and they are too short anyhow.

It's from the day before - I was there and so was my lady friend who took that photo.

Well you took me out of my mind baby You took me out of my head My friends have gone to look for me I ain't been seen yet No i ain't disappeared i'm only over here Well you found me out of my skull baby staring at the stars You will appear now just in time to what i was looking for I had no place to run Did not have anyone Well i wonder why the day is so bright What can the reason be You light up the darkest night like a pearl out of the sea Hope it can always be but i must wait and see Give me some of your love baby That is all i need Tell me what it's all about Tell me what you see W

I have it on VHS. doh!

You can also see VW commercials with Slash and Nigel Tufnel playing these guitars. Why anyone would want to buy one - I do not know. http://members.aol.com/paulspage/news.htm

I think that's it - Ryan had the flu or something. doh!

That was the second time it was done - if I recall correctly. The did it once and it did not go well. Or something like that.

Don't forget The Doors.

If you spend time in this thread dissing the Democrats or the Dead - you are wasting time you could be spending putting down Trey and/or Phish.
