Well, it certainly stands to reason that if Carly disliked somebody
enough to write a decidely negative song about him -- and why else
would she do that? -- then she more than likely wouldn't run off
and marry the guy soon afterward.

<sigh> Why would anyone consent to singing backup vocals on a song
that was (a) about him, (b) sung by a popular artist and therefore 
virtually guaranteed to get lots of airplay, and (c) hardly flattering?

He played on Dire Straits' new record "On Every Street."  I read a couple

asked Jeff to become a member of Dire Straits and go on their current tour.
Jeff turned him down, and, according to Mark, Jeff said he didn't want Toto

My copy of Yessongs has something wrong with the sound -- it sounds like 
the band's playing in 10 feet of water (I was too lazy to take it back, and 
didn't know at the time whether all copies of Yessongs had this problem).  So
be warned that poor quality tapes are out there . . .

Hello there.

I'm searching for a source of "Live" Bob Seger Video. Preferablely from
back around 1975 through 1985. I don't believe there is any commercially
available so I expect bootleg is the name of the game.

Thanks in advance.

You know, I've no idea what kind of response this is going to have --
but now that John Cage is dead (and I _do_ miss him, and I _do_ regret
not having the chance to meet him, as I had hoped), I hope some great
thinker will look at his music, with all its chance operations, and
try to find some sort of analysis for it which will a) do it honor and
b) help generate more interest in it.  I cannot subscribe to the popular
notion that Cage was more influential for the philosophy of music than
music itself. My God -- he wrote _so_ much music, after all...

For myself, I can't say much of Cage's music really excited me -- but
then, I've thought that about any number of composers from Monteverdi
to Mahler.  For those composers, the eventual coming to terms with them
was always the same: one day it made sense, and I loved what they did.
I hope that I have the same experience with Cage soon.

Like I mentioned in my earlier posting, the 12" version of Tainted Love was a medley. However, Tainted Love itself is still not a Soft Cell original. It was written by Ed Cobb and first performed by Gloria Jones. At the time I posted that, I couldn't recall Gloria Jones name but was sure it wasn't Diana Ross.

   NO need to even vote about it.  I've read in countless numbers of magazine
and other news articles that "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon is most definitely
about... Warren Beatty!  I thought everyone knew this, but I was obviously 
wrong about that!

rather than quote great lengths of everyone, I'll just say my piece and go.

I was about 9 or 10 when it came out in Oz. the hype that surrounded it was
to the effect that it was about Warren Beatty and very few people who have
discussed in print or on radio or tv have deviated from this line. That's
about twenty years of accumulated discussion of the song, so I'm fairly
convinced that it was about Warren Beatty.

In true vanity,

Shane.

I may not forget much, but then, I don't know a whole lot!:

You call me a professional? No way! If I was a professional I'd have to take it seriously. Now where's the fun in that, I ask you?

Yeah, I'd highly recommend The Orb's latest record U.F.Orb coming out 
domestically later this summer, as well as anything by K.C. and the Sunshine
band. I know the name sounds makes it sound like vapid disco music, but it
is acutally really quite heavy dank stuff.. Also check out Life is... Too Short.
by Too Short of course, and Shorty the Pimp is also worth mentioning in this
category.
