I agree. Even worse John F wrote, produced, played lead guitar and
harmonica and was lead singer - how on earth could anybody suggest he
was plagiarising himself - if anybody had a right to 'that' sound it was
him - and how could he ever record without being John fogerty.
What happenned between 'Eye of the Zombie' and his latest anybody know?
I remember 'Hoodoo' which was never released but I don't know the story

This just in...
Rich Warren, producer and host of WFMT (Chicago) radio's "Midnight
Special" folk music show, says he plans to feature "Rough Sketches" on
Saturday night, June 21. Show begins at 10 pm Central time, I believe.
Listen in, Chicagoans!
I think the show may be syndicated outside the Chicago area, as well.

Boy, it's tough to break thru this Music Exchange thread, but just a quick
FYI for those headed to the north country and Monsoon's and/or Anderson's
tomorrow and Sunday...
BTW, Nick, congrats on creating one of the best threads this list has seen. .
.and in getting everyone's involvement. Even brought out some
lurkers...hopefully, they stay unlurked now!
MONSOON'S - tomorrow nite, Thursday - show starts at 9pm. Understand it's
only John and Buffy. Depending on when they close for a sound check, some
of us will meet at the Flagstaff Brewing Company - great bar, serves good
food, and is two doors down from M'soons. No advance tix sale, "just walk
in and they'll charge you when you order something".. !!! Know for sure that
Nancy, and Earl from Charma (!) will be there.
Address? Monsoon's is right on Route 66, and just across the street from
the train station. We'll see you there...
ANDERSON'S FIFTH ESTATE - Scottsdale - SUNDAY - Father's Day. Doors open
at 7, Show begins at 8. Since there's always a crowd, with seemingly more
publicity this time in the media than usual, and no reserved seating, be
there in line by atleast 6:30 if not earlier. Dave B. is coming in...am sure
the D man and John H. will be there, too.
Meet before? Tough, with the way seating is, but let's try Madison's..about
two blocks over
Location of Anderson's? on 5th avenue, across from 5th Avenue Inn, backs up
to the canal bank (south side).
If you want to get together before, or any other questions, just reach me on
the backchannel. Nancy and I will keep a lookout for everyone...another
*hot* summer evening at Anderson's ..!!

also, Andersons has always been doors at 6, show at 7pm...,.
I'll be the one at the front of the line with the lawn chair, readin' a book

I really enjoyed Chris DeBurgh's early stuff. Have the old vinyls from the
early-mid 70's stashed away.
My current favorite songstress (sorry Chapin & Nanci) is Dar Williams. I
could babble on but I won't. She's Da bomb as the kids say.
And a couple hundred messages back someone mentioned Tony Joe White. Way back
when, TJ was pretty much an equal favorite with John. My favorite TJ album is
...'Continued. Most folks don't know of anything but Polk Salad Annie. A fun
song that tells you nothing of the soul of Tony Joe. This is the guy after
all who wrote the classic "Rainy Night In Georgia" and if you ever heard him
sing it, as opposed to the popular version that I think was by Brook Benton,
you would know that the swamp boy had soul. There were two big TJ sites on
the web last year, but I haven't been able to access them as of late. They
are linked off the artists section of Clack's Cellar if you want to give them
a try (http://mmbers.aol.com/clackclack/rebeffa1.htm) Just as John has a
major following in Europe, so does TJ. The sites were in France and maybe
Denmark or Germany. He tours in Europe more than here. I've been looking for
a west coast show for a long long time. TJ stopped touring for a while
because he was having some ear problems that messed him up. I do not know
where to buy his last couple albums and have tried to find that out also.
They are being self-distributed I think. He put out a nice album in the
mid-late 80's called "Dangerous" and that is the last one I managed to get.
But on my favorite artists of all time, TJ is up there. He also did some real
nice work writing songs and producing Tina Turner's Foreign Affair album.
That killer song "Steamy Windows" is Tony Joe....

I take it all back - I got a bit cross when you favourably compared the

I used to think I lived in a cave for the opposite reason - that I

Of the people you mention I also like Marty Robbins, Creedence

as far as I am aware - I know of another group where there is a lot of

Thanks for reminding me! He's so bad I had undergone psychogenic
amnesia. Please immediately add Neil Young to the list. Whining,
sophmoric, inconsequential, pseudointellectual, a man who could
seriously bitch about MTV deleted a promo he had in a video and then
show up for the interview to talk about the purity of his music while
wearing yet another promo-it's been downhill for old Neil since he left
CS&N. "Tell old Neil a Southern man don't need him around..." And the
"Godfather of grunge"? Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I rest my
case...
The Doors work only if you are as stoned as they were while performing.
Singlehandedly, they destroyed electronic organs as an instrument for
use in R&R. Committed the unforgiveable sin of being pretentious AND
boring (as opposed, for example, to U2, which is outstandingly
pretentious but almost never boring).

The greatest poet???...cut me a very large break.
Ginsberg needed to get out more and read other people's poetry. Dylan
did some fair stuff, but rose as far as he did by being on the same
wavelength of the colloege students he represented-an extremely narrow
and myopic audience. Unfortunately, all of those brats (me included)
have continued to exist and almost reflexively genuflect in his
direction-lot's of association with first drugs, sex, and beer, is my
best guest. Go back and read his lyrics and see how many duds he
actually had.
Actually, I always liked "All Along the Watchtower" and "Turn, Turn,
Turn", but both illustrate my point-"Turn, etc." would result in a suit
for plagarism but God's already tied up in court. And Watchtower, like
most of Dylan's music, is memorable because it was done by someone else,
the incredibly talented Jimi Hendrix.
Of course, it's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

Subject: The worst and the best of us
Seems like a lot of different perceptions about different artists.
Some like Dylan - some don't
Some like Neil Young - other's don't
As far as I am aware - all of us here LOVE John's music
(Believe it or not - there are heathens out there that don't) ;-)
and on and on and on....
As I get older, I find I am approaching music differently. I use to rage
against artists that I felt were "cop-outs." People who seemed more
interested in making money or making a name rather then making music.
Sometimes our perceptions of someone's music are based more on what was
going on around and within us when we first heard them. Our auditory sense
- - just like our sense of smell - are powerful trippers of memory wires. I
cannot hear the old Petula Clark song "Downtown" without experiencing a
rush of emotions about a very short period in my youth that was really
quite wonderful and full of a sense of hope. (Then I lost that sense - and
it took until my 40's to begin to regain it)
I use to HATE anything that had opera associated with it. Then one day I
started to listen. WOOOOOW! When someone can move me to tears and I don't
even know what their singing - now that's emotional music. Still, it has
more, perhaps, to do with my personal experience then the music by itself.
So I no longer look askew at the person next to me who remains dry-eyed.
Personally, I just haven't been able to get into Kenny G. Yet there are a
lot of people who love his music. Who am I to say they are all screwed up?
Some of the artists I love - others hate - or even worse - others are
indifferent to.
I enjoy getting into heated discussions with my friends about what we each
like and don't like and why.....but I find it disheartening when such
things go beyond the reality that we are all different. One person's
experience does not make null and void another's. There truly are "strange
river's."

Steve Gillette is most famous for a song called "Darcy Farrow" recorded by
John Denver, Ian & Sylvia, and several others. He had a great album in the
60's which included the above, "2:10 Train", "Back on the Street Again", and
a great song based on the Goethe story the "Erlking". He also had a later
album called "A Little Warmth" which had a moderately successful single
called "Sweet Melinda". He's a great guitarist with a very unique style.
Plays with a flat pick and then picks with his other fingers as well.
I think I saw him perform at the Golden Bear a time or two and then later in
NYC. He now performs with Cindy Mangson and lives in Vermont, I think.
As to the Chapman concert, I was at the one where it was jammed - great show!
The next year I think Chapman presented John Denver which I also attended.

Subject: Re: Musical Profile
Nancy,
I think you took this exercise a little bit too seriously. You shouldn't feel
put-out or intellectually inferior if you don't like any of the music on
this list. It wasn't an intellectual exercise. We're all here because we
share the music of one particular artist. That brings us together, but it
doesn't mean we have to only talk about one artist all the time (at least I
hope not). I thought it would be fun to see what else people are listening to.
Music means different things to different people. It's like any hobby or
passion. For example, some people like to take day hikes in the park. They
view a hike as a means to relax. Others like to put on a backpack head into
the mountains for a week. For them it's a challange.
Listening to music is a lot like reading a novel for me. Some authors are more
difficult to read than others, but ultimately the challange is worth it because
I get more out of the more complicated authors. Some people don't want to be
challanged when they read a book. Our brains are all wired a little bit
differently. I'm sure there are things that you have a 'passion' for that
a lot of other people would not take quite so seriously. (This goes for
any hobby: computers, cooking, gardening, fashion, cars, bikes, health food,
political causes, exercise, etc. etc.)
I would say that some music is more challanging than others, and John Stewart's
music can be pretty challanging to many. I would try not to dismiss an
entire genre of music by saying for example "all rap is bad", because in any
genre if I listen to enough artists, I can always seem to find someone who
clicks with my brain. (The preceding is just my opinion, and should not be
confused with
actual wisdom :-)

I thought he ment that for Springsteen to sing like Orbison, it would take
a very great miracle.
I think Bob Dylan is ultimately one of the 4 ir 5 most important artists in
latter half of 20th century music. Have you ever read interviews with folk,
rock, and even country artists and seen how many of them cite Bob as an
influence?

He's had an unfortunate influence; his success encouraged copying, when
once was quite enough. Springsteen's worst writing has occurred when he
has attempted to emulate Dylan (imho)-jamming in nonsensical words,
arbitrary rhymes, and pointless themes. Notice how dated much of his
(Dylean's) music sounds.
But...different strokes for different folks.
