The Russian lady who won certainly skated well and deserved to be in the medals, but beyond that I'd have to see all the judges scorecards and understand the scoring better to know if anything was amiss - isn't this why they drop the high and low scores to get to the final results? The figure skating scores certainly seemed no more subjective than the various extreme skiing and snow boarding events.

He did indeed, the Yardbirds Golden Eggs (I & II) come to mind, as well as a couple os Rolling Stones Titles - Bright Lights, Big City and a '72 tour album whose name is escaping me at the moment. I also really liked this one: Yeah, that's one of the Stones ones I was thinking of - pretty decent performance too.

Waymon Reed had an interesting career, for a musician few people have heard of. Worked with Ira Sullivan, James Brown, Count Basie, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis, All Star Trumpet Spectacular and Sarah Vaughan (to whom he was married), before dying of cancer. Nice leader date on Artists House, IIRC

Does someone have a list of which Ferraris (no Maseratis or Lamborginis?) Miles owned? Inquiring minds want to know if they somehow equate with what he was playing at the time...

I had a caller here at the library who asked "Was Shirley temple really a big star/famous?" And no, she wasn't too too young to know, she'd just somehow missed the biggest box office star of her time...

Is Pink Elephant Music all alcohol related?

My reccomendation is Martians Go Home! No, wait, Martians Come Back!

One of the few things my mum & I agree on is that this is the greatest cartoon ever made...

I think we should boycott the Olympics until Jim Thorpe's medals are reinstated!

I've heard his album on vinyl, a long time ago, my memory is that it was nice enuff, and Muskrat Love was the throwaway humorous aside that, of course, was the one tune others picked up on - but that's a pretty faint memory at this point. Nothing I'd pay big $ for, YMMV

I used the Loud Minority for a jazz 'n poetry mix tape I made for my brother once, I ended up concluding that it was all pretty bad poetry, except for the Wm. Blake that Mike Westbrook set to music, that's damn good poetry!

Writer Willis Alan Ramsey's version would be the original Muskrat Love http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muskrat_Love - for what it's worth!

Right -- he never sold out unless (and this was the case for a good many years) he was following the then-current dictates of the CPUSA. See for example the song "Plow Under" ("Don’t you…plow under/Every fourth American boy"), the isolationist anti-war song written by Seeger and Lee Hays in early 1941 when it was CPUSA policy that the US must stay out of the war (this because Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were still allies): http://peteseeger.net/wp/?page_id=1446 Then the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, CPUSA policy turned 180 degrees overnight, and so did Seeger, who with Woody Guthrie, and Millard Lampell wrote the rousing pro-intervention, pro-war song "Reuben James," about the sinking of the US destroyer of that name by a Nazi submarine in Oct. 1941, two months before Pearl Harbor ("Now tonight there are lights in our country so bright/In the farms and in the cities they're telling of the fight./And now our mighty battleships will steam the bounding main/And remember the name of that good Reuben James"): http://www.oocities.org/folkfred/reuben.html Didn't Woody write "On Account of the New Situation" specifically to mock his friends' flipfloppery at this time? On the other hand, I read his (Seegar's) ananlysis of Dylan's "Only a Pawn in Their Game" somewhere and he completely got that...so?

The Hank Thompson tribute to the Mills Bros. is worth checking out, and not just for the WTF factor...

This, this grooves like crazy.

The singing was pretty weak, but I felt that way about his work with Costello too.

Maybe he was trying to get in one of them Ski Party movies, like James Brown did.

They should have a deluxe edition that comes with its own lava lamp. and a bearskin rug like the one Miles was laying on or am I thinking of the wrong album? Is the bonus material Black Beauty material and isn't that a slightly different band? (I liked Black Beauty better, and yes all that Jap only stuff did have a holy grail aura back in the day) So, I followed the links and I think I answered my own Q - yes the 'bonus' material will be from the Black Beauty gig, which unfortunately makes it unlikely that we will get a complete version of that, or not...

Oh, I should get this. Did it come out on CD? MG It's pretty darn nice, as I recall, but I haven't listened to it in quite some time...not much help. am I?

If you're talking 'bout Always Something There or The Look of Love, sure, but the other late BN stuff, not really, but then what's 'straight ahead' depends on where you think you're going...
