A quick report -- I saw The Last Waltz last night -- what a treat. Lots of great performances (and Neil Diamond, just kidding, he sounded fine), interwoven with interviews of a very stoned Robbie Robertson and other very stoned Band members. Joni looked stunningly lovely, with flawless skin and stick-straight hair. She also seemed somewhat uncomfortable on the stage, especially during the all-star rendition of I Shall Be Released. Van Morrison (wow, what a voice) really belted his song and was actually kind of sexy. See this film if you can.
I'm a little disheartened by reports of advance disdain for the upcoming collection (simply because it will not consist of new compositions). I await it with fond and cheerful anticipation. Bryan
