Not the new theme, but a timely article.

10 Great Songs Nearly Ruined By Saxophone

Where is the new theme?

Gotta disagree with It Must Be Love, National Anthem, Jungleland, Young Americans and Never Lose That Feeling ... I like the sax in those plenty.

Beer belly?? c'mon.

She looks like a normal average woman. And she has recently had two babies. It wouldn't take much work to get a bit more buff.

In the 50s that would have been considered sexy. Unfortunately, today a "normal" (i.e. for a celebrity) looking woman's body is an almost anorexic looking one. You gotta give it to her for having the guts to go out there looking like that.

I've never quite gotten the obsession with 6 packs on women (although my step-daughter has one). As Spider Robinson put it, I don't see why the sexual fixation on a body type that says either a) I have no physical appetites or I have almost inhuman restraint.

RIP Joe, for some reason I was thinking of Tony Williams last night as a great fusion guy we lost too soon. Sad that now Joe is joining him, although 75 is a pretty good long run.

ok.. I wanted to add another dirty dancing song but it's by a different artist. does that count??

I don't see why not.

Here's one particularly ludicrous one I first heard in high school and have heard repeated since. It stems from the song "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins and in particular the line, "If you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand". The story goes that it came from a real incident that Phil Collins saw someone refuse to save somebody who was drowning and the other person died. Then when that person was in audience at a Phil Collins show, Phil shone the spotlight directly at that person during the song and sang the line directly in their face, and still later that person was drowning in front of Phil Collins and Phil didn't save them ... blah blah blah, complete and utter bullshit. To this day I am a bit surprised that it still gets told because, 1) it seems to be making a lot out of just one line in a song, 2) the concept of "Phil Collins : vigilante killer" is rather hard to swallow, and 3) by the logic of the tale, if Phil Collins saw this incident take place, why the hell didn't he save the first person who was drowning?

Anywho, as recently as a few years ago, I was at a party where some guy was going on about this particular tale as though it actually happened. I mentioned that just the previous weekend I had seen an interview with Mr. Collins on TV where someone asked him about it and he said it never happened. So this bloke get all defensive and says well what is the line about then? I replied I didn't know but, probably like most songs on that album, it was about his ex-wife. The guy got especially bent out of shape about me ruining one of his favorite tales, saying something to the effect of what the hell would Phil Collins know about it anyway.

when i was a kid, i heard that david bowie and alice cooper had a gross out contest on stage that ended with bowie eating alice's freshly laid loaf.

It's most commonly told about Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart, to the extent that Uncle Frank addressed it in his autobiography , the great quotes being "What the fuck is a gross out contest?" and "For the record : 1) I have never taken a shit on stage, and 2) the closest I have ever come to eating shit was at a Holiday Inn buffet in Fayetteville, North Carolina."

Lou Reed shot heroin on stage in Buffalo during a concert in the 70s.

That is not a urban legend as he was arrested and almost charged with the offence.

From what I have heard, he didn't shoot up on stage but he did fake it at a number of shows in the early 70s.

For the photo of the Allman Bros. on the Live At The Fillmore album Duane has just score a bag of weed and ran in for the picture. That's what he's hiding under his hands.

Or so I've heard.

Not weed, coke. At least according to the ABB bio I have.

I know I've heard some rumour that Rod Stewart blew off all of his bandmates and then had to have his stomach pumped. Something tells me that account is a little (or a lot) inaccurate...

The offical rumour is that he had to have his stomach pumped and they brought up a gallon (or some other amount) of semen. Never happened.

The article is missing the reunion with Jason Bonham from the Atlantic Records anniversary thingy some 20 years ago.

Sad and bizarre ... I just saw him with the New Bohemians at blues Fest

Carter Albrecht, musician with Sorta, New Bohemians, dies in shooting

12:28 AM CDT on Tuesday, September 4, 2007

By TANYA EISERER / The Dallas Morning News

Carter Albrecht The local music community was left stunned Monday by the fatal shooting of a well-known musician who authorities say beat up his girlfriend and then tried to kick in a neighbor's door in an apparent drunken rage.

Jeffrey Carter Albrecht, 34, died early Monday after being shot in the head by the neighbor, who thought he was a burglar. Police said the girlfriend had bruises on her face but did not suffer serious injuries. The couple did not have a history of domestic violence, police said.

Mr. Albrecht, who went by his middle name, was a guitarist and keyboardist best known for his work with the Dallas rock band Sorta as well as with Edie Brickell & New Bohemians.

"It's a sad day for Dallas music," local concert promoter Mike Snider said. "He was a musical genius, a real prodigy — everything came to him naturally. He was an incredible instrumentalist — when he played, you could really see the joy he got out of playing."

According to police, Mr. Albrecht and his girlfriend had been partying at a Greenville Avenue bar. He had gotten drunk, and she had driven them to her home in the 9000 block of Santa Clara Drive, just east of White Rock Lake, police said.

The girlfriend told police that Mr. Albrecht slammed a drinking glass on a table, cutting his hand. He then struck the girlfriend in the face several times with his fist, knocking her to the floor at about 4 a.m. Monday, the report said.

Carter Albrecht, performing at Bend Studio in early 2007. He hit her in the back while she was on the floor, the report said. She broke away from Mr. Albrecht and ran outside. He followed her, according to the report. She then went around to the back yard and through the back door, locking Mr. Albrecht out, the report said.

Mr. Albrecht "attempted a few times to gain access to the … residence by knocking and banging on the door," but could not get in, the report said. Police believe Mr. Albrecht then went to the back of nearby neighbor's home.

The neighbor told police "he was awakened when he heard his wife screaming that someone was breaking into the house." The man was kicking and banging at the door, and the homeowner yelled at him to stop.

When the man, identified as Mr. Albrecht, didn't stop, the homeowner who was armed with a handgun "shot one time at the top of the door," the report said.

"He was trying to shoot over his head to scare him away," but Mr. Albrecht "is rather tall," said Sgt. Larry Lewis, a homicide supervisor, estimating the musician's height to be 6-foot-5.

Mr. Albrecht was shot once time in the head and died at the scene.

Police did not release the name of the homeowner who shot Mr. Albrecht. Investigators said the case will be referred to the grand jury to determine whether any charges will be filed.

A new law, nicknamed the "Castle doctrine," eliminates the requirement that someone has to retreat before using deadly force to defend themselves. The law already allows a person to use deadly force to prevent someone from committing a break-in at night.

Mr. Albrecht's parents declined to comment on the events surrounding his death but did say that they had spoken to his girlfriend.

"She's a dear person," the musician's mother, Judith Albrecht, said. "We've hugged and cried. I know they cared for each other a lot."

Mrs. Albrecht and her husband, Kenneth, who live in Plano, said their son's friends had been in and out of their house all day, paying their respects. An informal gathering of local musicians and friends was scheduled for Monday night at The Barley House in Dallas.

Mr. and Mrs. Albrecht said they knew from an early age that their son had the makings of a gifted musician. Mrs. Albrecht began teaching him piano as a small child, and he later took lessons from a college professor while the family lived in Kansas.

"He had a wonderful ear," Mrs. Albrecht said. "It just came natural to him. He had a way of making what was on the page come to life."

Their son attended Southern Methodist University on a music scholarship. He received a degree in piano performance in 1995. Several years ago, Mr. Albrecht was named best songwriter and musician of the year by the Dallas Observer.

"He always wanted to have a band," his father said. "Music was how he was going to make his living."

His parents said his career was taking off, and he was nearly done with a solo album. He was also working on an album with Sorta.

"Anybody that's been in this city that's been a performing musician has been touched by him in some way or another," said Sorta singer Trey Johnson. "He was that respected."

YYZ is grand, but the official best Neil Peart percussion performance is on Xanadu. One of the rare instances of of the big 70s drum set with loads of gongs, chimes and other assorted widgetry being used with every part of the kit in play and it is all integral to the arrangement of the song.
