He only wanted to be loved.

After thirty something years I'm still trying to figure out what the chant in "Chant" is.  Anyone happen to know?

I like how the photo up top was taken at the precise moment Oprah became aware of the fall of another sparrow.

Rather than focusing on his technique, you can listen to his compositions to tell that he's the real deal.  Monk's chief weapon was melody and syncopation (and an almost fanatical devotion to the pope.)

"I got friends, mean sons, they've got knives, chains, guns, gas grenades, knuckle-dusters, Lazy Susans, block-busters."   If you ever get the chance to interview him again, I'd love to know what kind of weapon a Lazy Susan is in this context, it seems pretty incongruous otherwise.

My favorite Dead related Dylan is Garcia's version of Señor (Tales of Yankee Power).  Jerry's latter day voice (that somebody once referred to as "the Elmer Fudd years") fits the song's themes perfectly.

That's the Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Concert.  Also featuring Johnny Winter's "Highway 61" cover which is one of my favorite covers of anything by anybody.

Here's my cool story, bro's:  I saw her in Solana Beach at the Belly Up on the second to last night of a tour.  She and her band looked beat down and tired.  Hardly anybody was in the place and they ripped into as vicious a cover of "I Wanna Be Sedated" as I've ever heard.  They were singing, "twenty, twenty, twenty…

And her dad, Ewan MacColl, wrote, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face."   I look forward to seeing her when the clans rise again. 

The moon seems like a pretty harsh mistress.

So, um, if I can come up with the $100k, can somebody get me hooked up? 

Phil Lynott?  I was hearing more of a Steve Marriott thing …

Neither - Peter is Wendy's boyfriend and Hook is Mr. Smee's boss.

Song: "Rock Lobster" (which I've never heard covered)

"Virginia Plain" by a nose.

I still haven't forgiven Bob Marley for stealing the Banana Splits theme song to use in "Buffalo Soldiers."

I'm old enough to have lived through at least three "deaths" of rock and roll (four, if you count the post-Elvis/pre-Beatlemania period that I was around for but not really aware of).  There was the mid-70's- pre-punk period.   In the the late eighties, just before Nirvana and grunge, Spin magazine was talking about…

And son, that little boy grew up to be Lee Harvey Oswald and Topper Headon!

So, after going with Tweedy for the two Mermaid Avenue albums, she's looking at Jay Farrar now?  She's a mischevious one, huh?

My favorite show on that station was "White People Dancing," where people two-stepped around and around and around a room for a half hour or so.  After a couple of episodes, you would be able to recognize some of the regulars.  It was almost as good as Beavis and Butthead for something to watch while waiting for a…
