Well, at least it has been discussed a couple of times before. To
start somewhere Duncan Browne recorded an album in 1968 with a heavy
focus on acoustic guitars. A rather obscure album, or at least used
to be until it was re-released on CD a year ago. I don't have the
CD, but the songs I've heard are maybe not so fantastic.

I also know of a single from around 1973 which a friend of mine has.

Now, let's move to 1976 and a self-titled album with a group called
Metro. An album which takes you to a decadent world to the background
of some very delicate music. Metro was a trio for this album, Duncan
Browne, Peter Godwin and Sean Lyons. They were augmented by John Giblin 
(bass) and Simon Philips (drums). There is no doubt what you should do
if you see this album: just buy it. I think it has been sighted on
CD in Germany and maybe elsewhere but I don't know. People who have
Bowie's "Let's Dance" will find the original to "Criminal World" on
this album.

Metro split, Godwin and Lyons formed a five-piece with the same name
who cut "New Love" which has some acceptable stuff, but you don't
feel that this is the same band. Browne on the other hand, made two
solo albums, "The Wild Places" and "Streets of Fire", which con-
tinued the path from "Metro". The lyrics are not equally decadent,
but the music has the same amount of guitar curtains. Admittedly,
"The Wild Places" is weaker than "Metro" and "Streets of Fire"
weaker than "The Wild Places", but both are worthwhile. CD? No idea.
I haven't looked.

Now that I have located the elusive Meat Loaf CD that I was looking for,
it's time to turn to the next issue.

Jim Steinman, who wrote all the Meat Loaf material, once put out a solo
album. I would like to find it in any media available and have had no luck
here, even at the used record stores.

I don't remember if it had a title, but the lead song was "That's When Rock
n Roll Dreams Come True", and I believe that was the only one that was a hit
besides Read 'em and Weep. And that one wasn't a big hit when Steinman sang
it.

Anyone have this?

He's one of the same.  He also started a record company.  Ask about GG in 
alt.music.progressive.  They're discussed quite often there.  I don't
recall who the person is but one of the regular contributers here has a
pretty detailed history of GG that he has posted.  Buy "Octupus", you'll

I can't find the original article, but someone was asking about
Joni Mitchell's "All I Want".  It's on her "Blue" album.  Lyrics
follow:

I am on a lonely road and I am traveling,
Traveling, traveling, traveling,
looking for something, what can it be?
Oh I hate you some, I hate you some,
I love you some.
Oh I love you, when you forget about me.
I want to be strong, I want to laugh along,
I want to belong to the living.
Alive, alive, I want to get up and jive,
want to wreck my stockings in some jukebox dive.
Do you want - do you want - do you want
to dance with me, baby?
Do you want to take a chance
on maybe finding some sweet romance with me, baby?
Well, come on.

All I really, really want our love to do
is to bring out the best in me and in you.
All I really really want our love to do
is to bring out the best in me and in you.
I want to talk to you, I want to shampoo you,
I want to renew you again and again.
Applause, applause - life is our cause,
when I think of your kisses
my mind see-saws.
Do you see - do you see - do you see
how you hurt me, baby?
Then I hurt you, too,
and we both get so blue.

I am on a lonely road and I am traveling,
looking for the key to set me free.
Oh the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling,
it's the unraveling,
and it undoes all the joy that could be.
I want to have fun, I want to shine like the sun,
I want to be the one that you want to see.
I want to knit you sweater,
want to write you a love letter,
I want to make you feel better
I want to make you feel free.
I want to make you feel free.
I want to make you feel free.

I have some info from an old girlfriend who lived with James Taylor's 
father for a while (almost became Taylor's stepmother, in fact, which would've 
been interesting because she's younger than he is).  The line "you flew your
Learjet to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun" actually (sort
of) happened, except that it wasn't a Lear and it was the week _before_
the eclipse up there -- Taylor just wanted to look at some real estate and
took some friends along, including my future-ex-girlfriend.   Carly Simon
didn't go because she and Taylor had had an argument.  Carly took
some artistic license with the incident, and what the hell; it's better than 
"You chartered a Beechcraft to Nova Scotia to look at investment 
opportunities."

In an interview I once read, Carly Simon said that the person in the
song is a composite of several men.  Knowing a little about the creative
process, I'd say that's probably true, but that Taylor is a substantial
part of the composite.

I thought perhaps I would include the names of some of the artists that were

There are many more 'love' songs which weren't listed ("Caravan Of Love",

etc.) which were released as singles, and zillions more as album tracks..

C'mon you guys - do you really think the Eagles would release a song about
Satan worshipping? It might eat into their profits too much.

I read an interview of Don Henley within the last couple of years. In it
he put to rest all of the rumors of Satanic overtones. The song, like many
other songs on the *Hotel California* album, is a metaphor for Southern
California living and lifestyles. In fact, Henley said that he was more proud
of the (anti-) Southern California statement of "The Last Resort",
the last song on the album, than that made by (the song) "Hotel California".

In this light, lyrics like "You can check out any time you like / But
you can never leave" seem less like Jean Paul Sartre and more like
a typical East Coast indictment of SoCal flakiness, at least IMHO. 

It's likely that I still have the magazine with that interview. I'll post
Henley's response verbatim if I can find it.

Cheers,

I have two records bought secondhand from this extraordinary group,
which must be the most traditionally musical of any Rock/Pop/Jazz group
ever. Draing equally from Verdi and (I suppose) ELP, they produced a
memorable record called "Banco" on the Manticore label. I liked it a
fair bit, but filed it away after a few plays. 
I then bought a record of theirs with a symphony orchestra called "Di
terra..." on an Italian label (?UNO) which was altogether brilliant.
Sophisticated Jazz-rock with great tunes, to an unusually well
orchestrated background. 

What I want to know is -  did they do any more like that? Where did
thwey come from? Where did they go? Who was that masked man?

Last night when flipping channels I caught
the last 30 seconds of a high tech 
video which turned out to be
Roger Waters doing a song called What God
Wanted?  

I would hazard a guess that this is material
from Amused to Death since
a) roger has a history of releasing a single
before the album comes out.
b) some of the animation video techniques look
too modern for it to be an old song.


Any one know for sure?
