I just got the new album and it is very good – the frogs get the FF treatment though – once was enough.
I have always thought that Motorhead’s Ace of Spades would make a pretty good country rocker if it was slowed down a touch!

You are correct and I apologize for the slip! Wow, what a day you had, Tom: You were able to incorporate 12 of the 22 emoticons that are available for your use in this forum! Question, how did you select just the right 12? What criterion did you use to eliminate the other 10 and why? I can only imagine the mindful processes that are involved in such a pursuit! Some emoticons just don’t say the right thing–nothing says cool (or dis’s) like a yellow-smiley-guy with “sunglasses” on, I guess…
p.s. Still 475 tickets available in Concord. Ray Lamontagne sold out two shows in Portland in less than 2-hours (about 6,000 seats) at $43 per ticket. So much for the economy being a reason for low ticket sales…
I agree – not the economy – more likely plain bad taste. I know who I would rather watch.
Where is the drooling in anticipation smiley when you need it?
Hopefully it shouldn’t be too long now.
Great interview. And I guess you wouldn’t argue if your geraniums took second place in the Garden & Gun pageant! 😯
I like Driver’s interpretation. It doesn’t really work for me but I can see where he is coming from.
I once heard a Dylan quote that went something like, “I know what I meant when I wrote it. You know what it meant when you heard it. The true meaning is somewhere in the middle.” I think that applies.
BIABH was the first Dylan album I ever bought. It is definitely up there in my ever changing top 5, along with BOB, BOTT, Desire, H61 and A.N.Other.
Mia Doi Todd – See this thread for a full discussion.
…and all best wishes of the season to Lucinda, Tom, and all the regulars on this forum (cheerleaders and keeping-it-realists alike!) This has been my first full calendar year as a LW fan – a special thanks to the incredible woman that introduced me to her and proved to me that there was more worth listening to in the country canon than just the odd Johnny Cash number. (I still have a contract out on Billy-Ray Cyrus though!)
Here’s to a great new year, with – dare I say – a little more exposure for LW over the pond in England?
I have seen the band twice in England in the last few years. They blew me away the first time but nothing could prepare me for how well they played Frank’s music the second. They had moved past the place where they were merely good enough to play some of the most complex and difficult music ever to come out of the rock idiom, and had progressed to the point where they could enjoy playing it, playing with it, and making their own. My highlights were Ray White singing The Illinois Enema Bandit and an amazing live version of the devilishly complicated G-Spot Tornado.
I can’t wait until they cross the Atlantic again. Thoroughly recommended to anyone that appreciates Zappa or music in general. And Billy the Mountain! Wow!
The Here And Now Band – a bunch of anarchist, hippy-punks that used to tour incessantly and play free gigs all over the country. At 16, the ‘free’ part of that description was especially welcome! They were very good too, extremely polished after about 5 years of constant touring. First gig I paid to see was Hawkwind at Leicester DeMontfort Hall. Same year – 1978.

If Neil won a Grammy then the Earth would cease to orbit the Sun. Not a good idea.
You’re just scared to try something new! Just because we have been orbiting the sun for billions of years doesn’t mean that we wouldn’t be just as happy orbiting something else – like, oh I don’t know, a duck or something!
