T.D.

I got the impression it was well into the '70s. Exile on Main Street was my personal line in the sand.

I'm pretty sure I heard on some radio program or interview (years ago) that the Rolling Stones frequently recorded their individual parts separately. But I can't find any references/citations.

There are reports Sale did make that shit up and thereby hoaxed the media.

I owned a bunch of "early" Evans recordings, bought the Turn Out the Stars (VV, 1980) box, and the many long renditions of "Nardis" totally put me off late Evans. Interesting article, but I've heard my fill.

Have books 4-6, needed to complete the set. This recording got good reviews and seems to have gone oop.

Many thanks! Much appreciated.

Happy Birthday!

Again.

The Big Hack: How China Used a Tiny Chip to Infiltrate U.S. Companies This is an excellent and scary story. Bloomberg hit a home run with this one. Disclaimer: No intent to introduce politics, I just found the story compelling. On a somewhat related note, I recommend Edward Jay Epstein's How America Lost Its Secrets, which is mainly about the Edward Snowden enigma but contains a lot of info on foreign intelligence services; details omitted in order to avoid politics.

Yup. When I saw the headline I assumed he was stepping down as CEO. When I read "Chairman" I thought "WTF???". Making the company pay half of the paltry fine is ludicrous. And who will vouch for the "independence" of the directors to be selected? Puzzling "strategy" by the SEC...make dire threats and settle for a slap on the wrist. But nowadays, any action whatsoever taken by a USA regulator is surprising.

Musk settles with SEC. Stays as CEO, has to step down as Chairman. Musk and Tesla each pay $20mm fine. Tesla has to appoint 2 new independent directors. Fairly light penalties IMO.

Interesting follow-up story on this fiasco.

A few years ago I got into Gesualdo madrigals and acquired these recordings. Never completed the set with the first 3 books...

No, the article said he lives in Woodstock: On a recent visit from Woodstock, where he has lived with his wife, Catherine, since 1976, he retraced his old Village route, more exuberant about the memories than wistful. “It’s all gone,” he said, “but so are the crooners. Everybody has their turn. When did I leave? The real answer is I’ll never leave the Village. It’s mine.”

Agreed, and not just for jazz - theater and all types of music. I often read the entertainment listings (but rarely any articles) through the '80s and '90s. Paid no attention to the paper after leaving the NYC area in 2001. Feels like the end of an era in some way, though I figured the Voice would close when it went to free circulation. Kinda surprised it limped on as long as it did.

Agreed. I'd never heard of Devyn Rush, but apparently she became well-known via American Idol (!? - I haven't watched TV for years.) Deservedly so IMO.

Browns player charged with insider trading He was on the Eagles at the time of the alleged offenses. Gave tickets and cash for stock tips.
