I'll take Rembrandt, Titian, DaVinci and Gainsborough …

I dont' recall the actual quote, but it's on Take No Prisoners.

Agreed.  Maybe the best cover on an album of really good covers.

RIP Donna.

Sure it was good and all, but I kept waiting for the part where Neil and the Horse would be spelling out B-A-N-J-O but then they would clap instead of saying "B" and then the next time they would clap twice instead of saying "B" and "A" and so on until at the very end it was all clapping.

For some reason this thread reminds me of a girl I used to date in the Holy Roman Empire.

The album version.   There was also a cover by Jim and Jean, a folk duo of the time, that he'd play.  There's a strong Mitch and Mickey vibe there, but it's worth hearing.

"I dreamed I saw Phil Ochs last night, alive as he could be.  The music business killed you Phil.'  'I never died,' says he."

I think "The Scorpion Departs …" from Rehearsals for Retirement is the best thing Ochs ever wrote.  It's not necessarily journalistic, but starts with then-current events.  Based on his later suicide though, I hear it as a kind of internal dialogue about deciding whether or not to kill yourself. 

"The hands that are applauding are slippery with sweat, and saliva is falling from their smiles" can still raise a goosebump or two with me.

"The Crucifixion" used to scare the shit out of me when I was six or seven and my older brother would play it late at night.  "In the shadows of the churches, who knows what they pray …"

I remember that day.  The freakin' pillows were all over the place.

I think "The Shoes of the Fisherman" starring Anthony Quinn may be the movie Noel wanted to see?

I'm going to like the part where Verlaine and Rimbaud try to shoot the Jack of Hearts but Lilly kills them with her penknife and goes to work in a topless place.
