Well, excuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me. It just so happens that I have heard this song

Glad to hear you like _Space Bandits_.  You might want to wait a
bit before ordering _Hall of the Mountain Grill_ as an import.
There are rumors over on the Hawkwind list that it will soon
be released in the US.  However, there have been no sightings as
of yet, so it's just rumors.  I'll let AllMusic know if there is
any hard news.

Subject:      Hold it now, Hoss

Let me tell you that I do not have a fixation on only Billy Ray CYrus but all
Country Music in general.  I herad in a poll that the must popular country
music singer in America is George Jones.  His song "He Stop Loving Her Today"
was the most popular song in America.  So to satify you fancy I will get off
of Billy Rae Cyrus for a moment and get to Garth Brooks who is retiring so he
can rase a family.  So here's your quarter. Call someone who cares punk.

   Yo, Eddie, watch who you're calling punk. I don't have a mohawk
   and only *WISH* I had a leather biker jacket. Y'see, I recall
   that song from a Hitchhiker Exampler from Sony Music's Nashville
   office. I really, truly like the idea of a country song with
   that title, and while I'm not so hyped on Garth Brooks, I think
   that Dwight Yoakam's _Buenos Noches from a Lonely Room_ album is
   brilliant.

   And another think, Hoss; I am the only person who decides if
   a song is good for me. I don't give a flying banana peel if
   28 trillion copies were sold. As a matter of fact, some of
   my favorite songs probably haven't been heard that far out of
   South Dakota, and probably had press-runs that would make an
   LA A&R man sicker. I don't care, because the music is solid.

Subject:      Rap

     Well, I'll put in my two cents about Rap and such. Like Russell, I could
NOT stand any type of rap (I still dislike hip-hop, R&B- for reasons I will
mention later) until about a year ago, when my sister (of all people) who only
listens to Rap, Hip-hop, R&B and the like got me hooked on a not-very-well
known black militant rapper named Paris (I imagine some of you have heard of
him). Anyway, I went out and picked up Ice-T's OG, and it really got me
hooked on the rap scene.

      Of course, I had to pick up Public Enemy's latest as well as some Ice
Cube and KRS-One. I have to admit now that this style of music really pumps.
Sometimes I can listen to it for the slammin' beats that really make me get
up and MOVE, and sometimes I listen to the lyrics and reading the lyric sheet
and try to understand where these guys are coming from.

      Rap seems to be getting a lot of flack lately, mainly because it is
viewed as a 'black' form of music. I'm not going to get into all the racial
problems here, just to say that I am white, middle upper-class and the such,
and I really like the message that these groups are trying to get across. I
think it reflects a disillusionment with what is going in the world at large
as well as here at home in America. That's why I like it. It conveys a feeling
that I think a lot of 'minorities' as well as younger Americans can sympathize
with.

      For the same reason I like rap, I dislike hip-hop and R&B. Groups like
Kris-Kross, Raplh Tresvant, and others in those veins really say nothing to
me about my life (shades of the Smiths, anyone?) sure they might have a nice
hook here and there, but for the most part, it's packaged and produced in order
to make money. This is all IMHO, and arguments to the contrary are appreciated.
After all, this is a forum where we can talk about this, right?

       Another point before I end here is that a lot of the rap artists
seem to keep their integrity intact, something that is missing from a lot
of genres today (especially rock/metal where things are becoming more and more
packaged in order to sell a lot of records, i.e., Damn Yankees, Poison, and
(oh no) Bon Jovi). That's another reason I like these groups as well.


             "So I asked myself
              Just who had the power:
              The whites, the blacks, or just the gun tower?"

Hey, do you know why?  It's because it hogs up the airtime on MTV.
It may be good rap or bad rap, but it's taken over the whole station.

I don't mind rap, as long as it is original and creative.
Not to mention have a kickass groove to it.

But there's no room for other kinds of music.  As an artist, I would like
to see other artists, like Laurie Anderson and Kate Bush on MTV.
Innovative people, who push the boundaries of music to its very limits.
How about some King Crimson footages?
How about showing some old Beatles videos, like "Penny Lane" and
  "Strawberry Fields", or even "Paperback Writer" or "Rain"?
How about videos from South Africa, Europe, Russia, or Asia?  Nothing.

That's why I'm fed up with some rap artists. They get too much airplay.
The underdogs get nothing.

Subject:      "Long Chain On"

Last month while I was home visiting the family, my father replayed an
old family ritual by taking me to see Peter, Paul, and Mary at Wolf
Trap.

It was an excellent show.  I could close my eyes and pretend it was
still the sixties.  However, when my eyes were open, it was obvious
that this ain't the summer of love.  Peter and Paul had less hair,
and what they had was grayer.  Remember that album they had entitled
_Peter, Paul, and Mommy_ after Mary had her first child?  Well, now
they could call themselves Peter, Paul, and Mama as in Mama Cass.
She can still sing, though.

They played almost all the oldies.  (Calls for "Stewball" drew a chilly
stare from Peter.)  Lots of the songs of course are now sing-a-longs;
e.g. "Puff the Magic Dragon", "Day Is Done", "Where Have All The Flowers
Gone".  Peter did have a new sing-a-long that he wrote using the words
Rodney King said in an attempt to quiet the  rioting.  They closed with
"It Ain't Me Babe", "If I Had A Hammer", and "Blowin' In The Wind" with
an encore of "This Land Is Your Land".

Early in the first set, they did "Long Chain On" which is from their
second album _In The Wind_.  My father did not recognize it.  I made
him a tape with that song on it, and he has become quite fascinated
with it.  Not knowing the answers to the questions he asked, I thought
I would appeal to AllMusic.

According to the credits on _In The Wind_, "Long Chain On" was written
by Jimmy Driftwood.  Who is he?  What other songs has he written?  Does
he have any recordings?  Are there other versions of this song?  What
are people's interpretations of the lyrics?

grace the airwaves of the entire North American Continent with
his most recent work, in:

      "SCARED SILENT - Exposing and Ending Child Abuse"
                 - Hosted by Oprah Winfrey -

A nation-wide simulcast Television Premiere, airing this Friday,

Was Ted ever really into the "Merck Index in my bloodstream" thing?  He's been
fervently anti-drug for a long time; he may not even drink.  Of course, he's
addicted to shooting large animals and boning nubile young women (probably
not simultaneously).

Just curious if Ted's anti-drug stance is the by-product of some long-ago
near-OD or something.  Speaking of rock dinosaurs, does anyone remember the
seventies urban legend about Frank Marino allegedly being wheeled into an
emergency room on a megadose of LSD, leading to a life-changing experience
that resulted in him thinking he was/is Jimi Hendrix with very pale skin? %)

the best of moods this morning, so I have this uncanny ability to spot
contratictions, and this was one of them.
	I don't get it. Sure _OoS_ was lame, but if you like Yes, and
Chris Squire, and play bass, I don't understand how you could possibly
not like _Fish out of Water_. This is a bass players album. Please
explain yourself...

	(Now I'm off for my third cup 'o java...)
