Jaimoe Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 To celebrate this personal milestone, I think I should reflect on a few things for my 2000th posting. I may add to/edit this list as the day goes on. Jambands.ca is getting better and better every day. Jambands.ca has a great MAIN PAGE, but who actually reads it? You should. Mike Bouchard doesn't get enough credit for the work he does for the jam scene in Canada. Reba, Dog At The Station and Brels should be heard more often on the Sanctuary. nero is the best Canadian Jamband. The current Allman Brothers Band will never be the real Allman Brothers Band without Dickie Betts - anyone who thinks differently doesn't understand his significance and influence. I wish Les Paul would live forever. Johnny Cash died of a broken heart. Joe Stummer's death should have had a greater impact on the music world. Frank Zappa never considered himself a jam artist. Jimmy Page hated when Phil Collins played with a re-formed Led Zeppelin. Bill Wyman added more to the Stones' sound than he's given credit. Keith Moon is still my favourite rock star of all time, even though he was a bastard. Growing Up in the 70's Henry Rollins attended many Grateful Dead shows. He loved their musicianship. Also, The Rollins Band could easily be considered a jamband. Evil Dead I & II, Army Of Darkness, Bubba Ho-Tep, and Spiderman legend Bruce Campbell told me two years ago that Frank Zappa wasn't the inspiration for his look in Xena/Hercules: Bands that should not be commercial are surprisingly commercial. Jim James of My Morning Jacket is a genius. The Soundtrack Of Our Lives are as good as Nickelback is bad. Diana Krall is the Walmart of jazz. How cool is Elvis Costello now? Almost every woman I've ever met loves John Cusak. He dated Britney Spears. Do you still love him now, girls? Shock-rocker Peaches drank my friend's beer at a party 10 years ago... and he still wants the beer back. I'd really like to punch the leader of The Vines in the face - although they are a pretty good band. The band/name Billy Talent is an oxymoron. Canadian band Pilate are a poor man's version of Radiohead. Mr. Musicface should change his name to Mrs. Discoboy. Andre " Booche " Bouchard's real name is actually Andrew Mouthy - he goes French to sound European. Kung likes the SCI better than Blue Grassy High. Esau was the one who converted Bob Dylan to Christianity in the 70's. Hux got some serious " kick-back " from the Quebec Liberals. I ran into famed vegan Brian " Basher " Sherman at The Keg reaching for a tooth-pick. Lynn " Sally " Bouchard secretly loved hearing 300 different versions of Bertha last year. Catfish was once a famed Lindsay Muskies puck-bunny. After 20 years of writing, " Davey Boy " Barrett has finally finished PAGE ONE of his novel. Drinking and looking at pictues of Jon Fishman causes Passed Out Guy to become Passed Out Girl. Giggles knows nothing about Lenny Breau. Secondtube's fishing secret: Actual photo of Paisley: Folk legend Nick Drake, or Pablo Sanchez? I've met Velvet 20 times and he still doesn't know who the hell I am.

Aloha, Brad A sad decline of a great musician. I hope Dickie sobers up soon, or he'll end up like Murphy Brown's Robert Pastorelli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
