  1. Well, according to what the Pres just said, he hasn't been dead for years. I'm concerned about the possibility of reprisals . .
  2. Uh, yes. They did. We've already argued this one into the ground in previous threads, but just as one example, many old blues songs had hardly an original line in them. Nobody sued anybody, that's how the musical tradition worked as a process of mutual influence. This whole idea of copyrighting music is comparatively recent.
  3. Exactly. And many of his contemporaries (and forerunners, and followers) did exactly the same thing.
  4. People always ask me that, and I can't remember for the life of me who opened (I remember the venue, it was the Wembley Empire Pool, long gone)--I'd have remembered if it had been Hendrix, though, because I had tickets to see him another time and then I got the chicken pox and couldn't go. Edit--nope, Hendrix was apparently in Miami that day.
  5. I felt exactly the same way--I went because, let's face it, I couldn't not go, but I was dubious. As it turned out, it was a wonderful evening, and the Jason/Bonzo Moby Dick was worth the price of admission alone. (Well, that, and John and Pat trying to keep a straight face while Jason did his Gary Glitter impression . . . )
  6. It's about time they updated their site. Their new dates (mostly out west) are on Facebook, however.
  7. Hey, I saw them the first time around, in the late 60s. I won't tell the Zep folks if you won't.
  8. We hear that this is also true of Page and Plant--would that their fans responded the same way! I may be totally misremembering this, but didn't one of his parents (his mother?) invent White-out? I seem to remember he was independently wealthy even back in the Monkees' first incarnation.
  9. And that's why the Who are still going strong today, even though there's only two of the original members left?
  10. Thanks, Reggie! :-)

  11. Thanks, pal! :-)

  12. Thanks, Virginia! :-)

  13. Though now they've moved to Nashville . . I adore the BK, hard to believe this is the first thread about them! But timely, as they seem posed on the brink of becoming big (which in a way is kind of a shame, as those small intimate gigs are the best, but it's what they've wanted all along, so good luck to 'em).
  14. No, definitely not Susan George--looks like Jackie DeShannon to me. (Though as the question was asked in 2008, maybe they've solved it by now? )
  15. Keith, on the other hand, claims they didn't bring him in to do overdubs and haven't seen him for years.
  16. :-O

    Cleared it out.

  17. Yeah, it would be nice to see a larger version. Your other painting is really good. So are Delinha's--really good stuff.
  18. Know why that's a really good painting? Well, among other reasons. Because it's not just a copy of a photograph, but actually shows creativity and expressiveness. Nice work!
  19. Again, I'd prefer that they just play the music--putting their own spin on it when the spirit moves them--rather than try to copy the originals, which just throws into relief the fact that they AREN'T the originals. But, again, that's just my personal take on it.
