It’s a fascinating piece of history, actually, and quite well produced. The deep deets about the bribery/extortion biz of a sitting VP. I knew there was a general criminality, but here are specifics about the crimes and the prosecutors who basically stumbled into the whole thing while going after Agnew’s Democrat successor as governor of Maryland. Elliot Richardson emerges as a true American hero. Context!

It's the podcasting equivalent of a Spiro Agnew Mosaic!

And what's kind of "funny" about that is that there is a fairly good amount (relatively speaking) of pre-Mickey Disney work that IS in the public domain. And to be honest, Steamboat Willie is not really that good, imo. But it is Mickey Mouse, and that's the franchise. I like the Oswald cartoons.

Mr. Jay does not appear to have too many fans here. Too bad. But here's a Fresh Air episode from 11/30 of this year that includes a marvelous conversation with Terry Gross : https://ondemand.npr.org/anon.npr-mp3/npr/fa/2018/11/20181130_fa_01.mp3

No real "news" here, but there is footage and besides, it's nice to get the name out in the open every so often. What is of interest to me in particular is the Dumont Network show. There's a Roku channel dedicated to what little surviving Dumont footage exists, and the last I looked, there was none of Hazel Scott's show. Let's hope that some is found, or if any has already been found that it gets up on that outlet.

For The Love Of Money, that’s the riff he copped.

If Public Domain laws are applied across the board, Disney would have no say. The copyright would expire and that would be that.. I like what PD laws do for literature. What they will do for songs and other compositions, I don't know. The freedom to use doesn't prevent the freedom to steal. That will depend on the character of the individuals (same as everything else. I really don't like how the PD laws have been playing out for recordings though. If the Euro model is any indicator, it's mostly been a race to the bottom in terms of doing quality work. Then again, if people settle for that and spend on it, hey. THIS Invisible Hand got a bad case of warts, it needs some Compound W!

From this: Claude Gillingwater was fun enough in that one that next up was: Peggy Shannon did good work here. Apparently she was yet another "casualty of Hollywood", too bad about that.

Ok, this has turned into a troll pool. Nothing is being deleted, but this thread is now closed.

I wonder why they wrote a song about a fish.

Look dude, I've read your postings long enough to know that when your discourse gets to this level, you've crossed the point of rationality and are flaying about in some way to justify your own...whatever. I remember this is what you did with Dan over some NFL thread, and you've done it before on other threads. It was bizarre then, and it's bizarre now. "sensitivities" have been the point all along. Now you're saying that they're some kind of a straw man. No, that's been the point from the beginning, recognizing the sensitivities of others. You are becoming agitated. When do we see the rage go off the rails? I hope it's not in your house, and I hope it's not on this board.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that. Gil himself said that they were not intended for public consumption, and I can certainly see why. And to that end, he made it a point to see that they were never released again. Now that he's dead, who knows.

I don't know about this wrong side of history thing, that seems kind of specious, but there is a wrong side of right now. If any of you who are so gleefully mocking the real sensitivities about date rape as heard by some people in this song and cannot entertain the notion that feelings of discomfort around this song are legit have, let's say, daughters, you are indeed on the wrong side of right now. They are talking and you are not listening. And that is more fucked up than anything having to do with this song.

Is it really the Beatles in this movie, or other characters playing them?

Thanks, that's news I can use!

https://www.forcedexposure.com/Artists/ORCHESTRE.ABASS.html I love the notion of an "Islamic funk belt" running through Africa at the time. Over here it was the Baptists/Pentecostals, over there, it was the Muslims. Small world if you want it.

That sounds like something I would either avoid at any cost or else go all in on. Please elaborate?

Swedish Lullaby is out on CD now via P-Vine: https://www.dustygroove.com/item/901730?sf=groove+holmes&incl_oos=1&incl_cs=1&kwfilter=groove+holmes&sort_order=artist A bit pricey, but DAMN. This reminds me of how the South Dallas clubs of the 70s that had jazz but for the people to drink and dance and hang out to, NOT just to listen, sounded like. I don't like it so much when people try to do that today, because the people that were there for that music are either dead or stove up now, just not the same cycle of vibrations/energies happening now that there was then, but anyway...this is what it sounded like, hell, felt like (at least as much as a record can do that). Cats would be kinda drug about not being able to play outside of the club bag, but that seemed to only bother them when they weren't playing, ok? Does the Muse version use that O'Jays riff?

Indeed! The Cool Cookin' date was sorta "famous" (in a totally geeky way) for having some (two?) cuts from the Vanguard trio date that hadn't been out before. I think they all are now? No matter, those Burrell dates are (were?) great all-purpose party records. Everybody dug Kenny Burrell, players, non-players, men, women, you couldn't miss with records like these at a party, unless there were squares in the room, and you know what Cynthia & Jerry said...

Fun lyrics, too bad about the choice of melody to which they are placed. Composer's perogative, but still.... b/w There are no wrong answers here. uh....

How does that compare in content to Cool Cookin' from a few years earlier?

Is that really in black & white? I've stayed away from it because of that.
