It may be a different song, but didn't J. Geils Band have song by
that name.
Just heard they're going to be touring. They were the second
concert I ever saw back in '82. Anyway, I'm psyched to see them,
they put on an excellent live show.
Oh yes, for twang content, Gram Parsons used to

"Raining On Sunday" is my personal favorite song on the album, and I am way
out of your demographic.
It ain't country, but who says it has to be?

lyric content...radney's stuff was good. don't know, just kinda

Saw Radney Foster @The Mercury Lounge in NYC last night. As I
suspected, it was an industry showcase gig. Many people`murming
things like "this is an important album for radney" blah, blah,
blah.
I really wasn't sure what to make of the show. He played hopped up
versions of "Just Call Me
Was just listening to "All About Town" the other day and one
song (Arianne, maybe) really sounded like it could have been off
of "Abbey Road."
Not sure who to be impressed with - the producers or the band,
but it led me to believe that they should be *alot* more popular
than they are.
That's what those slicksters of the Nashville machine will do to you.
Heh. Yeah, I hear one of those slicksters has stooped to playing bluegrass these
days. What's that stuff got to do with the V-Roys?
that's what i was going to say - aren't both albums produced
by the "twangtrust?"
I'm chiming in midstream, so I'm not really sure where this thread
has been or eventually went, but Dylan has his "own thing" and for
that alone he should be revered. I mean Celine Dion has a great
voice, but she still sucks.
Occassionally, I forget that Dylan actually *did* have a genuinely

Anyway, back to the influential artists, a few bands still merit
discussion:
Pink Floyd - did for stereo what, well, help me out here
Bee Gees - wrote more songs

people. Nothing wrong with that, but it ain't hip-hop.
Dude. Dude. Dde. Put on "Liscence To Ill." There are some
major f*cking beats and grooves on that record, which a black man
should be so lucky to put together.
Just because your black

Saw that Radney is playing in NYC next week. Several questions come
to mind:
-is this in support of a new album?
-is this an industry gig to get re-signed?
-any idea who his band is?
Thanks,

Unfortunately, I think we're gonna have to include Garth here. Hie's
touched alot of lives and his sales alone prove that. I think he's
sold more records/discs than The Beatles or some unfathomable figure.
As for most influential artist of all time you gotta include the
"gloved one"

On the rap tip, The Sugar Hill Gang pretty much invented it, so
Also, for the 90's The Beasties deserve a shout out...

think you get considered artist of the decade for your marketing skill
alone.
As much as I don't like him, from a marketing vantage you just don't
sell that much of *anything* unless you've struck a chord or gulp, a
The Beasties have made a couple of great records. But they have more in
common with Pearl Jam than with any rap artist. You can make rap music and
still have no idea what hip-hop is. The Tibetan concerts are alterna fests
because that's the Beasties audience. They have zero influence on
Bob Burns:
It's a really catchy song. I haven't analyzed it but after a
few listens I believe the song is a bout nothing but a dream that makes no
sense.
thanks for the info. if you subscribe to the jungian school of
thought (collective unconscious and all that), nothing means
nothing.
Can anyone tell me what the name of the song is that's playing in the
background of the tv previews for the new John Cusack movie "Pushing Tin?"
Could be "festival" - heard it in the previews, but no the tv
commercial. I don't know who sings it - maybe Bing Crosby g

Another gap in my knowledge: I was amazed to read, in the liner
notes, that Duane Gregg Allman, Bernie Leadon, and Don Felder
all came out of the Gainesville music scene along with Petty co.
Molly Hatchet also hails from FLA. BTW, they toured several years ago

they were recruiting for the Socialist Worker's Party while you're at it?
Hm, if that's a sarcastic remark, which is cool, my guess is that
you're not familiar w/Molly Hatchet. They were in the Skynyrd,
Bob Dylan's more influential than Bing Crosby? Than Frank
Sinatra? Than Louis Armstrong? Than Hank Williams? Than Jimmie Rodgers?
Than Elvis Presley?
You could probably play six degrees of Dylan w/just about any major
artist.

Tera:
Sheryl Crow
has been pretty straight-up with her image as well as her music.
...So, what is this double-edged sword?
I just have a problem w/the grammies. They either seem long
overdue or based solely on popularity.
I like her, but just don't think she's at the point in her career
Sheryl Crow actually opened up for Dylan several years ago. Steve
Earle also opened for Dylan so if that counts as a stamp of
approval, so be it.
Frankly, I think her winning the grammy a few years back was a
doubled edged sword. It launched her into superstardom, but may
have hindered her
my guess is that this may have been discussed already, but since i
only recently rejoined the fray, i'm curious whaty the consensus
is/was about Dwight Yoakum doing a Gap Ad?
