One of the main provisos that allowed such a massive undertaking as Live Aid to happen without getting bogged down in legalities was the absolute resistance to releasing any recordings or video of the performances. If they had, the artists involved would probably still be squabbling over royalties to this day. As for me, I quickly lost interest in the "spectacle" when it became apparent that MTV was chopping and eliminating performances to run promo reels and feature the banal brain-droppings of its VJs. - - Jim Donato ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 06 Apr 1998 07:33:31 -0700 From: Rex Estorffe Subject: Re: [AVALON] VH1 Top 100 Artists jspellma@techadvisers.com wrote: > > Did anyone see the VH1 top 100?

Yea! patiently watched, good but could of been more gooder! ignorance more arrogance, i watched and taped the leno show where our hero was asked about princess DI checking out his pad and himself replying "you had better ask my wife about that" the guy has become such a recluse these days no wonder he gets no recognition, younger DJs and producers have never heard of the guy especially in the states i guess thats his choice, this list promotes him and his past more than anything i know of, frustrating a'int it but lets keep at it maybe one day he might say hi! going off track a little george straight was great in the superdome saturday night and a brit won the golf here in N.O. saw them both, what a weekend! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 6 Apr 1998 10:59:43 EDT From: Maillist00 Subject: Re: [AVALON] VH1 top 100 artists I wonder if the "problem" may be since Brian gave up the Glitter look he has not projected a "rebellious" enough look for Rock Music? Looking like Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca all the time? Maybe "rebellious" for the WWll generation. Don't get me wrong. I like his image just fine. As far as the rest of Roxy, they always looked "rebellious" enough:) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 6 Apr 1998 12:56:31 -0400 From: jspellma@techadvisers.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] Roxy And Live Aid VH1 or MTV replayed Live Aid a few years ago. I thought in it's entirety. Bryan Ferry (w/out Manzanera McKay) performed Slave to Love and Jealous Guy. That's all that was aired. If there was more I would love to see it. David Gilmour on guitar, Marcus Miller on bass, as well as newer Roxy guys Andy Newmark and Neil Hubbard. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 6 Apr 1998 15:43:44 EDT From: Maillist00 Subject: Re: [AVALON] Roxy And Live Aid <> Hopefully if they do it again, we will all have our vcrs primed and ready. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 06 Apr 1998 21:44:51 -0500 From: jas2347@xsite.net Subject: [AVALON] VHI list If RM/BF continue to remain unrecognized in this country, so be it! We are the precious few who know what it's all about! >> I agree too. Although I did agree with some on that list(I do question the postioning of KISS over John Coltrane and Paul McCartney-(what were people thinking!!!!), and at almost the end of the list Parliament-Funkadelic way below Earth Wind and Fire ( no way in MY book), it was a damn shame the Roxy was not on the top 100. I just wonder how they polled these people and just who they were. It was supposed to be by the "artists" themselves, but when obvious talent was passed over, then one has to wonder. I would like to see all the winners from 1 to 788 (I think), maybe then we can see if Roxy even placed-anywhere. I guess we have to be contented the WE know who is tops!!! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 06 Apr 1998 23:47:28 -0400 From: Mike Connell Subject: [AVALON] SMOE.ORG LIST MEMBERS PLEASE READ: fund raiser to keep smoe.org running :-) Hello everyone on the Avalon mailing list :-) Some of you may know me, many don't. My name is Mike Connell and I manage the Jewel and Patty Griffin lists here at smoe.org. My purpose for writing you today is to ask for your assistance in a project/fund raiser to help keep smoe.org up and running for many more years to come. A gentle bloke by the name of Jeff Wasilko owns smoe.org, and while he does have a merry band of smoe-elves to help him in various tasks in operating the system, Jeff has always paid the operating costs (NOT a small penny) and of course had paid for the expensive equipment it presently runs on. He's always offered this service for free since day one....no user fees....no list owner fees...totally free :-) Many of your favorite artists and their fans have benefited from this service as smoe.org hosts lists for such artists as Happy Rhodes, Paula Cole, Jewel, Patty Griffin, Tori Amos, Thomas Dolby, Poe, Susan Werner, Leah Andreone, Lucious Jackson, Maria Callas, the Indigo Girls, Shawn Colvin and many, many more. Some of these once unknown artists, and more to come I'm sure, had their internet presence begin right here at smoe.org :-) For a complete list of which artists have mailing lists hosted at smoe.org, you can go to http://www.smoe.org/lists At the present moment Jeff is looking into replacing the hardware smoe.org operates on with more modern equipment, as the present workhorses are a pair of seven year old SUN Sparc stations. Being seven years old is pretty much dinosaur age in computer terminology (smoeasauruses?), and these systems are acting older than their age. This replacement is necessary to get newer and better equipment in place before the present smoe.org falls down and goes boom permanently, leaving the lists at smoe.org temporarily without a home :-) As you might imagine, this replacement is going to cost a pretty penny. On other list servers this would be no problem, as money would be used from the user fees. However since such fees don't exist here at smoe.org, we are asking for your help in the form of donations. We are not asking for buku bucks here, just whatever you can give, whether it be $1, $2, $5, $10....whatever. You can send a check, a money order, or if a buck or two or three you can send cash (that is your choice) Money orders are a piece of cake. (At least in the USA) They don't have a large fee at all, generally less than a buck, sometimes as low as 35 cents....although money orders from banks usually carry a larger fee (go figure ;-) Your best bet for a money order (in the USA) would be from the US Post Office....all money orders there have an 85 cent fee no matter what the dollar amount of the money order is. *** All checks or money orders should be made out to Jeff Wasilko :-) FOREIGN (Non-USA) LIST MEMBERS: I'm not sure at all what is the best method for you folks. We are open for suggestions. I know that the USA Post Offices cash Canadian Postal money orders, so no problem there, Jeff can cash them there. Of course, any foreign cash sent in can easily be exchanged at a bank. From what he told me, his bank has a 15$ surcharge on any overseas money order cashed, so this option is out. If you have any ideas, please write me and I'll discuss the best ones with Jeff and mention them in a follow up post to all the lists next week. ********************** HOW TO DONATE: ********************** Simple :-) Just send what you want (no Monopoly money please) to me at Mike Connell PO Box 1206 Binghamton NY 13902-1206 and I'll tally up all the figures etc and send it all on to Jeff :-) In your envelope, please include a note that contains your full name, the list(s) you belong to, and your email address you use here at smoe.org Please help in this mission to give smoe.org a new home :-) If you have any questions, please feel free to write me and ask. I thank you all in advance :-) Mike "Once a bell ringer, always a bell ringer" Connell :-) ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V3 #80 *************************** ======================================================================== Please send any questions or comments about the list to avalon-digest-owner@smoe.org
