    "Inca Roads" is sublime. Great album.

    Yeah. Some people think there's no choice there, but I like Blues Traveler!

    Van was sort of a "I've never seen this artist, but they're getting old or are already old, so I better go" show.

    But it was really good. He's still got the Van voice, and he plays horns and guitar. And his band members take jazzy risks during songs. I was thinking that any Deadhead would have enjoyed his show last night.

    He's like a Chris Robinson, or rather CR is like Van--white guy soul singer, just trying to make it happen on stage for the people.

    Van is high on my to-see list, but he doesn’t tour the states so I’ll have to go out of the way to see him. Sadly I don’t know if that will happen. I know he can be mercurial and hit or miss in concert so it’s good to hear you enjoyed the show.

    Brilliant. Count me among those who like "Mother", usually panned in this forum.

    I always argue that this song is the precursor to Genesis’ “Momma.”

    Listened to my old Hot Rats earlier today. Also got all the Bowie albums on Ryko. Too bad I got rid of the three sided on translucent green and yellowvinyl editions of album two to four I used to own back in '90.

    Now playing this:

    Just bought tix for Billy Gibbons tonight. Not my favorite venue but my money went to NPR as a pledge so I can ameliorate a bit my butthurt feelings.

    Is it beer thirty yet ?

    It is 20:13 over here in Jurup, lad. And cocktail hour has started. Crack one open.

    P.S. I always try to help, people. Remember that.

    It's an observational fact; no need to interject morality into the discussion. :tiphat:

    I don't own Genesis' Genesis, so there's no emotional stake involved for me either.

    But if you owned it, would the morality of the tale be any different? And if it was Abacab on the other hand, what would "Mama" be doing there. Third and final point/digression: both Genesis and Rush did the Police thang better than the Police themselves ever did. Was that also because of the gated reverb that Phil the Shill invented to save the '80's from being too rootsy?

    Nobody knows that Lerxt and Sting were pals and Gordon co-wrote a lot of Signals, and Copeland arranged it. Well, I know it. You heard it here first.

    I always thought Copeland was Peart in drag. So this makes sense.

    Not in the traditional sense of the phrase, no :D

    I always loved that old Rolling Stones anecdote.

    Keef and Ronnie are backstage somewhere in the USA ca 1981 doing, well, Keef and Ronnie-stuff. Hard knock on the door.

    -Who is it?

    -Hey, man. The police are here.

    -Okay, gizz a minnit, guv.

    (flush the feckin coke, Ronnie, willya)

    -Okay, let them in.

    Enter Gordon Sumner to less than thunderous applause.

    :D:D:D

    Hey, did that really happen? Of course it did.

    I read this book about Bay Area punk bands, and in the late 70s there was a band called Crime, and they dressed like police. Some kid saw them walk into the club and then ran into the bathroom and flushed his weed down the toilet. Then he realizes fairly quickly that that was the band.

    Probably just a tall tale. But hey, it could have happened. Almost anything could have with those guys.

    In Life, Keith talks about him and Bobby Keys hanging out with the Dole Banana heiress after a Hawaii Stones show, and then both of them were going to get completely busted at the airport for their assortment of drugs, but someone from Dole or whatever calls into security and the two are allowed to get on the plane unmolested.
