Nick Spitzer on New Orleans' Cultural History

7822. jexster - 9/6/2005 5:32:00 PM

Don't know him...I moved from NO to DC in 1973

Juditha,

Back in the 70's in Spartanburg it was the done thing to show up to the local production of Hair in order to storm out in a dither after the nude scene......which everyone knew was coming.

If people don't want to be offended then they ought to just stay the fuck home with their Precious Memories statuettes and Church approved reading.

Honestly, the very idea that your personal offense meter is more important than my enjoyment of live theater is beyond absurd. I paid my money to see this, I'm enjoying it. If you need to masturbate your ego by causing a scene do it on your own dime.

I think people should be fined and penalized for disturbing live performance.

"You're not grown-up enough to watch live theater. Sorry, there's a $50 fine for disrupting the production and you're now barred from attendance."

Mac,

No, I haven't heard of him. I'll keep an ear out.

7825. Ms. No - 9/6/2005 10:14:59 PM

Ulgine,

The problem was that Dennis DeYoung lost his freakin' mind. The Roboto album killed the band. They hated the album, they hated the concert and they hated DeYoung when it was all said and done.

Tommy Shaw left the band, John Panozzo died, JY and DeYoung both went solo and DeYoung gave us Desert Moon (gag!) . Then they got back together to do a greatest hits album and a re-recording of Lady. They did a reunion tour, hit big and decided they still didn't like DeYoung. So they replaced him as lead singer and went on tour without him. Then Chuck went public with his HIV status and he left the band mostly ---but played some of their live dates. They settled their lineup cut two albums and apparently have an album of covers out right now that kicks ass.

Best Thing, Blue Collar Man, Snowblind, Suite Madame Blue, Crystal Ball....those are the songs I love, but I can still sing along to every word of every album since Tommy Shaw joined the band up through Kilroy. I'm such a geek.

Oh, hey! Ulgine, if you like the older stuff best (and who doesn't) the Complete Wooden Nickel Recordings came out earlier this year. It's a double album CD with 35 re-mastered cuts for $20. Good deal!

7827. Macnas - 9/8/2005 7:06:46 PM

I am now listening to Linton Kwesi Johnson, Independent Intavenshan.

Thank you.

A top natch poet.

Mmmm I need to pirate those 80s LKJ albums. I own the vinyl, after all, it wouldn't be a breach of copyright would it?

7829. Macnas - 9/9/2005 11:55:42 AM

I won't tell if you don't.

I've rediscovered my reggae stash, and am overdosing on the likes of Johnson, I Jah Man and Big Youth.

Hey, I know I'm Irish and dead fish belly white, but you'd have to be deaf not to like that dub.

7830. Ulgine Barrows - 9/17/2005 8:31:58 AM

Ms No, Suite Madame Blue, OK I'll play that card. Maybe. I abhor Mr Roboto so badly, you see. I liked reading your summation of the band's end credits.

eMusic has Peter Murphy 'Love Hysteria'.

You can join for a free two weeks and get free 50 tracks. I think you are smart enough to read the sign-up, you initially have to give a credit card and if you don't like the serive then you quit. If you forget, they charge you.

If you do decide to join, please email me, as I will also get free stuff, but no pressure if you don't like the service. They have no Britney Spears or Nirvana, current big names....it is all indies. Or they have bought out the rights of older stuff as with Peter Murphy, and the first Coldplay and 50 cent, also some excellent jazz and classical cuts.

Oh good grief, I forgot how much I like his Indigo Eyes.

I have his albun with Cuts You Up.

7832. Ms. No - 9/23/2005 4:33:04 PM

Hmmm....I just might give that a try. I'll let you know if I do, Ulgine.


7833. Ms. No - 9/23/2005 4:33:47 PM

Connor,

I don't think it's wrong to download stuff you already paid for. Especially if you bought it on cassette!!! I've got no qualms about replacing old worn out cassette recordings or backing up my vinyl so I can travel with it.

One of my favorite albums ever Thanks I'll Eat It Here --- Lowell George's only solo effort --- I've bought twice on CD. The first one disappeared and the second one was so badly mistreated during a raucus house party that most of it won't play anymore. The man is dead, he's got no children and I've already paid for the right to listen to it twice.

Now if only it were all actually available online.

Sheesh.

I invite you to admire my latest ouevre "Misty Sunset With Concrete":



Let's put a more artistic touch on that:



Do you remember this horrible technique? When was that? 60s, 70s?

7835. judithathome - 9/24/2005 8:01:28 PM

Spooky!!

7836. judithathome - 9/24/2005 8:01:49 PM

Or should that be Groovy!!

7837. Ulgine Barrows - 9/25/2005 3:30:36 AM

The third one looks pregnant, to me.

7838. Ms. No - 9/27/2005 8:42:01 PM

Ha, actually the third one looks like something that could have been tooled on leather.

ORIGINAL NYTIMES REVIEWS

RIP August Wilson

August Wilson, who chronicled the African-American experience in the 20th century in a series of plays that will stand as a landmark in the history of black culture, of American literature and of Broadway theater, died yesterday at a hospital in Seattle. He was 60 and lived in Seattle. The cause was liver cancer, said his assistant, Dena Levitin. Mr. Wilson's cancer was diagnosed in the summer, and his illness was made public last month.

Anyone watch the Dylan special on PBS? I taped it last week, and finally sat down and watched it over the weekend.

I had a though while watching it: I'd love to hear him sing in Yiddish. His vocal style is perfect for klezmer music. The way he sings through his nose, and slides up, down and around the notes of the melody . . . "far from the twisted reach of craaaeeeeeaaaaazzzzy sorrow". . . can't you just hear it?
