Last week while I was logged onto the internet, we had a brief power outage here. I started up the computer, and ever since have had a problem. All of the forums I visit fail to recognize me, and require that I log in. This is so even though I always check the "remember me" box. Any ideas? Thanks!

RIP. Clave, can you think of any of his songs that were recorded by any of the Verve artists?

You can now vote for this year's Down Beat Readers Poll here: http://www.downbeat.com/ Click on the area by the number "73" in the upper left. I think the deadline is a week or so away.

I have no opinion regarding any of the individuals named in this thread. However, I have noticed over the years that when a magazine or TV show does something about the idea of black artists of the fifties not being paid the royalties due them, the examples used were always Atlantic artists. As I recall, these items never mentioned Atlantic by name. The point was never to single out one label. Usually the point made was that these artists weren't paid what they were owed when their records were selling, and now they are old and broke and could use money. Still, I found it odd that it was always Atlantic artists who were the subjects of the profiles.

Congratulations Ed! Hope to see you posting here again more often.

Thanks Cyril!

Montreal Alouettes 32....Toronto Argonauts 14 http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home I heard the fourth quarter in my car listening to Sirius, and it was pretty boring.

This reminds me of everyone's favorite joke when we were in sixth grade: What do you call a tired guy from southern Germany? A bushed Bavarian!!!!

Could someone please post the cover of If's fifth album, which was called Double Diamond?

Fred Williams Week 8 preview http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform...aspx?id=4171971 ***** Winnipeg Blue Bombers 37....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 24 http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home Kevin Glenn called his own plays for the first time in his pro career. Charles Roberts rushed for 100 yards for the first time this season.

Happy Birthday SS!

Yes indeed! I didn't know that he was under-rated in Britain. In the US, his name is unknown.

BClug, I believe that Printers has yet to throw a TD pass! Fortunately for him, much of the money of his three-year contract was paid up front. ***** The Bombers held a players-only meeting due to the ruckus caused by the Troy Westwood article mentioned above. http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/Win...435901-sun.html

Welcome back MG! Big news! While you were gone, Organissimo released a new CD! I'll be interested to hear how the missus' investigations turn out.

Their albums were pretty spectacular, well worth the import prices you'll pay for them in the USA. Would have loved to see them live. felser, I saw them live on consecutive nights in the fall of '70 - the first night in a small club, and the second night at the Univ. of Maryland (I think in their gym). The first night they let me tape their show. Unfortunately, I haven't seen that tape in decades. Great shows!

I noticed the other day that suddenly everyone is spelling the first name of the Ticats QB Richie rather than Ritchie. He must have put out the word regarding how it should be spelled. Here is a list of the Riders injuries: The defending Grey Cup champions sit atop the West Division with a 6-1 mark, suffering their first loss of the season last week to Calgary 30-25. But the Riders lost two more players to injury in that game as offensive lineman Belton Johnson suffered a broken fibula (the fourth Saskatchewan player to sustain that injury this year) and cornerback Omarr Morgan also left the game with an unspecified injury and didn't return. What's more amazing, though, is Saskatchewan being 6-1 despite a plethora of injuries. Included among the club's walking wounded are: receivers T.J. Acree (foot), Carl Berman (torn Achilles), Matt Dominguez (knee), Andy Fantuz (broken leg), D.J. Flick (broken leg), Chris Getzlaf (undisclosed) and David McKoy (knee), quarterbacks David Tate (shoulder) and Darian Durant (ribs), defensive end John Chick (knee), running back Neal Hughes (broken leg), defensive backs Leron Mitchell (broken leg), James Johnson (concussion) and Denatay Heard (knee), offensive linemen Glenn January (leg bruise), Jean Francois Morin-Roberge (undisclosed) and Marc Parenteau (knee) and linebacker Kevin Scott (undisclosed). http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home

Jason Armstead has joined the Bombers. http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/Win...423766-sun.html

Happy Birthday kinuta!

Here in the US, Morrisey was best known as the leader of If, which many felt was the best jazz-rock band of the late 60s-early 70s. I had the pleasure of meeting him twice. Very nice guy.

The Argos are considering playing their games at the stadium the Toronto MLS soccer team uses, and are conducting a survey of their season ticket holders to determine the fans' preferences. http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home ***** Doug Berry has given the starting QB job back to Kevin Glenn. http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/Win...412386-sun.html

Belated Happy Birthday Mark!

Allen, the article I referred to said that he did. If you dispute that, your beef is with the author, not with me.

Thanks Chas!

Chris, I'm sure that you know far more than I about how often this occurs. A few years ago for Christmas my sister gave me a book which was a collection of the best magazine articles about music of the year. One article was about Wimeweh, The Lion Sleeps Tonight. It was about how the African composer lived a life of subsistence poverty while Pete Seeger received millions of dollars in royalties. According to the article, ASCAP or BMI (I don't rememeber which) got it straightened out after the fellow died, and sent his widow a sum which allowed her to buy a new home, but was chump change in comparison to what had already been paid out. I'm pretty sure but not positive that the article was originally published in Rolling Stone.

Shortly after he was cut and retired, Troy Westwood wrote a column saying that Doug Berry did not have the respect of the players in the locker room. Now today he has written a second column saying that Berry must go. http://www.winnipegsun.com/Sports/Columnis...10/6401181.html I don't recall a player in any sport going after a former coach like Westwood has done.
