hamilton

An aside: I met Hamilton in teacher's college and hit it off the first or second day. You may want to take that into consideration before listening to a word I've said!

I've never been the same since. ::

Oh, I know it would be easy to find out... but trust me, I'm really lazy - I can't be bothered to get up and go to the computer when I'm thinking of the question, and never thinking of the question when I'm in front of a computer.

Thanks for the link, though!! One more question off my already-burdened mind.

Oh, sh!t. Is it only Thursday now? I'm so confused...

it is good to have you back, Mr Musicface!!!

Agreed. Seriously, that stuff about the difference between a concertina and an accordian is exactly the sort of thing I wonder about while perusing the liner notes of CDs, but can't be bothered to investigate myself. You have saved my lazy ass some work. Cheers!

Now, if someone could explain to me the difference between a trumpet and a cornet...

(I saw Buckwheat Zydeco once, back in high school. Pretty cool stuff!)

Possibly! I know I want to... still trying to determine if I'm free that night.

Don't sleep with your students. A girl I did my B.Ed with at Western did that (you may remember the story - she got busted nailing her 14 year-old student over in England about two years ago?), and became famous... but not in a particularly good way.

(She was from a place called - and I swear I'm not making this up - Beaverton.)

NewRider - love the new avatar, dude!! That's awesome!!

Also a founding member of Fairport Convention, who are still going strong (although Richard Thompson left around 1970, methinks):

Look at all that hair!!

Led Zeppelin really liked these guys (and girl) - that's Sandy Denny, Fairport's lead singer, that you hear on "The Battle of Evermore". And the Thompson-fronted version of Fairport opened for Zep on one of their early American tours, too (maybe '69 or '70?).

Richard Thompson is probably one of the most mind-boggling guitar players I've ever seen - and a great songwriter, too. I too have seen him live several times, and have never been disappointed. I don't even need to hear this show in order to recommend it...

To be honest, I didn't know there really was a guy behind Ernie Ball. I thought it was kind of like the Burt Neilson Band illusion.

Which one is Pink?

The Casbah.

Morning DJs should be hustled out into the streets and shot Gestapo style. The world would be a much nicer place.

I agree. When the revolution comes, they should be the first against the wall... starting with John Derringer from Q107.

So Hoagies are fatter? Or less cheese than a sub? I'm confused

Now that's fu©king funny.

But seriously, I want to know too. I always just assumed "hoagie" was an Americanism, but I guess not. ::

No I'm pretty sure I saw Heady Epic once or twice and he is an a$$hole. Satire my ass.

;)

I think Tim Buckley was 27 when he died... and Jeff Buckley wasn't much older (30, maybe?).

Nick Drake was 26, I think.

i like that people have stopped sugar coating responses on this forum. if everyone said what they meant and no one took things way too personally, life would be more clear and easier!

I have no problem with that either, but it would probably be nice if the dude could actually make his whole point -and explain himself fully - before we start calling him "dumb".

Well, thanks for the recommendation - I'll certainly look into it. But the question remains... Phish or moe. "Meat"?

I'm assuming that when Mike sat in on "Meat" that they played the moe. song "Meat", not the Phish song of the same title that Mike sings, right?

You will not be able to stay home, brother.

You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.

You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,

Skip out for beer during commercials,

Because the revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox

In 4 parts without commercial interruptions.

The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon

blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John

Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat

hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary.

The revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be brought to you by the

Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie

Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia.

The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal.

The revolution will not get rid of the nubs.

The revolution will not make you look five pounds

thinner, because the revolution will not be televised, Brother.

There will be no pictures of you and Willie May

pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run,

or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.

NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32

or report from 29 districts.

The revolution will not be televised.

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down

brothers in the instant replay.

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down

brothers in the instant replay.

There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being

run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process.

There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy

Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and

Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving

For just the proper occasion.

Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville

Junction will no longer be so damned relevant, and

women will not care if Dick finally gets down with

Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people

will be in the street looking for a brighter day.

The revolution will not be televised.

There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock

news and no pictures of hairy armed women

liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose.

The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb,

Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom

Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink, or the Rare Earth.

The revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be right back after a message

about a white tornado, white lightning, or white people.

You will not have to worry about a dove in your

bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.

The revolution will not go better with Coke.

The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath.

The revolution will put you in the driver's seat.

The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,

will not be televised, will not be televised.

The revolution will be no re-run brothers;

The revolution will be live.

I remain far more concerned about wars in Afghan and Iraq, feeling like Canadians should send peacekeeping forces to the Sudan, scared of George Bush and his cronies and many other pressing problems in the world, than I am worried about Canada's pot laws...

I think I love you, Jhamie.

I like a-go-go, bump, and up all night waaaaay more.

I'm with you.

There's nothing wrong with uberjam mind you - but if forced to rank those four albums, I would have to put it last.

"Funny - last month, I thought you said reality TV was to blame for people's lack of interest in live music."

The reason is clearly the deforestation of Brazil.

A lot of Brazilians are ginos and ginas, y'know. I think I see the big picture now. Some kind of conspiracy...

the ginos and ginas don't understand music, they understand songs on the radio. generic bar rock is by far the most popular genre in canada because that's what pacifies the ignorant masses.

you know why? i blame the CRTC's canadian content legislation - more than a third of all songs on canadian radio must be canadian...

Funny - last month, I thought you said reality TV was to blame for people's lack of interest in live music.

Be sure to wow those English lasses, you sexy man.

Good luck and have fun, dude!

A guy I worked with once called in sick with halitosis, and got away with it. Another time, he called in with a separated shoulder, only to come back into work the next day. He got away with that, too. I guess it all depends on who you work for...
