He did a tune called "Grandmother's Song", a collection of sayings by his grandmother. There's one verse of this little ditty that keeps playing in my head: "..Be pompus, obese, and eat cactus, (Everybody sing!) Be dull, and boring, and omnipresent, ~~Criticize things you don't know about,~~ Be oblong and have your knees removed..." To wit: >Yeah, I didn't know the guy either, but I've heard he did some things >that I'd call pretty rotten. Case in point: >> You also find that Sinatra had a key role in >> the establishment of the state of Israel [snip] >OK... bribery, money laundering and gun running for a group of religious >extremists. Boyo, he was a great man. Him and David Koresh. Au contraire, monkeyboy; The State of Israel was NOT founded by "religious extremists" - the ultra-religious believed that the refounding of Israel should be an act of G-d, and were prepared to wait for that to happen. Zionism was a *secular* movement that was OPPOSED by "religious extremists", whose slogan was "no state of Israel without the Messiah". Voicing your opinion is one thing; talking out your arse about something you obviously know nothing about is another. > Yeah... there was this Jewish state of Israel until the British came in >and took over! There wasn't a Palestinian state that was then overrun and >appointed as a Jewish state by the newly formed UN... No no... that's not >what happened at all. No, the original "Jewish State" was overrun and destroyed by the Romans, not the British. Seems Rome disliked having a vassal state whose population didnt believe in the deity of the Emperor, let alone the democratic tendencies in Jewish religious matters. The Romans sacked cities, made teaching the religion a capital offense, and established what became a 2,000 year exile of the peoples who had originally lived there in semi-peaceful coexistence. " ......(Ladies only) Be tasteless, rude, and offensive, (Now the men) Live in a swamp and be three dimensional, (Everybody) Put a live chicken in your underwear, Go into a closet and suck eggs." Now, regarding Seinfeld: There seems to be a general agreement that the last show sucked. The "critical response" is that it was supposed to suck - in part, to show what terrible people the characters really were. And all that hype; I mean, its a cool show, but come on! So, after hearing about it for weeks already and quite sick of the whole thing, I found it refreshing that the top story Friday morning was of Sinatra's death. Frank STOLE THE SHOW from Jerry! That Sinatra - always one to do it "his way". It's almost funny how the characters on Seinfeld, who were very self-serving, shallow, vain etc. could have millions of fans. You know, if Sinatra had been on Seinfeld he probably would have been just as loved, especially by all those Seinfeld fans who now dislike him. Amazing what a live studio audience or laugh track can do for your image. (You listening Robyn? ; ) cheers, Chas candlabra@lewiston.com now playing: "Pocketful of Miracles" - Frank Sinatra - ---- "There's a dark side to every human soul... cause the thing is - this ain't no either/or proposition, cause we're talking about dialectics - the good and the bad merging into _us_.... it's like brother Nietzche says - being human's a complicated gig." - Chris in the Morning, 'Northern Exposure' ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 May 98 11:57:00 bst From: "J.M.

Julian ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 May 1998 23:39:43 -0700 From: Danielle Subject: Sinatra, and other gunk So, I'm away for two weeks and Sinatra dies. I love a lot of Sinatra's music (with reservations. Whoever wrote 'Send in the Clowns' should be roasted over a slow flame. Appalling song). I learned a lot about American popular song from him. Along with Susan, I adore many of his films, and he was a good actor - sometimes even a great one. I think he was very sexy-looking during the bobbysoxer period, and he was always a pretty natty dresser. Yes, enormously influential in all sorts of ways. But I can't for the life of me work out why people spend endless amounts of time heatedly debating his (admittedly dodgy) *personality*, as if it was at all relevant to his work or to his status as an icon. It beats me. I'm interested in the Seinfeld episode too, by the way. ;) Quick non-sequitur-laden fortnight's catch-up time: Bayard, I think, (how did you know people call me Dani?), I've always seen Eb more as Charles Winchester III (though I seem to recall that he doesn't like M*A*S*H anyway). That also saves Susan and I fighting over the role of Houlihan, which would be rather undignified. Let's let LJ have it. She can call him 'baby', after all. ;) Was it Aaron who attempted to draw parallels between Bailter Space and Rage Against the Machine? I'll just make a heroic - if metaphorical - slow-mo dive through the air now, shouting 'NOOOOO!' in tones worthy of Rick Astley, trying desperately to stop the comparison lodging itself in anyone's brain... In 1996 I was lucky/unlucky enough to see both bands at the Big Day Out, and there was only a *smidgen* of similarity: Bailter Space play bone-crunchingly loud, catchy, scary-in-a-good-way pop tunes. RATM play bone-crunchingly loud. Full stop. (Though the view of the moshpit in the stands above the stadium was very entertaining.) Oh, I hope that Auckland's film festival, much like Seattle's, indulges in hour upon hour of Lars von Trier madness (where is the programme, dammit?). And I really *loved* the nightclub scene with subtitles in Fire Walk With Me - worth the price of admission. Is that all I needed to say? I think so. Danielle, reminded, rather inexplicably, of Richard Thompson's you?me?us? by an Einsturzende Neubauten album. Perhaps I should get more sleep. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 May 1998 08:11:02 -0700 From: Mike Runion Subject: Re: James' apt Sinatra statement Okay, I'll chime in on this thread...

Mind you it's not gonna be >my kind of thing anyroad. They're definitely an acquired taste - I'd be surprised if more than 20% of the people subscribed to this list would like them, apart from a couple of their more accessible tunes. The new album isn't much of a departure for them, either - not likely to bring in many new fans. Also, the first and third songs on the album are (IMO) the two *least* accessible - and they're probably positioned that way just so people listening in stores will be more likely to hear them - though track #2 ("Sunday") is already getting some airplay as a single, or so I hear. anyway, sorry if it seemed like I was trying to proselytize. Suicide - Martin Rev and Alan Vega, right? Sort of an angst-industrial synth duo. Released two albums and a couple of EP's in the early 80's, I think. I might have one still - I'll check when I get home...

The fact that there are _three_ ghouls playing whist strongly suggests that it isn't the standard 'Deal out 13 cards to each player' game. Either they are playing with a dummy, or they are playing some variant such as 'Knock-out Whist', where you start with 7 cards each, then 6, then 5 etc, and players who fail to win a trick drop out until there is a winner. It's certainly not 'German whist' because you play that with two players. Does the Lisa and Mr Jarrold bit remind people of mum calling Kevin in 'Let there be more darkness'? The same sort of atmosphere of gloom suddenly undercut by someone yelling from a lighted room? _I killed the cat dept_ On the controversial Sinatra issue, did he ever write a song? I thought all he did was perform new versions of standards by Cole Porter, Rodgers & Hart etc. Mind you, I'm not familiar with Sinatra's oeuvre.

I bet that Sinatra isn't the only person who assumes that because it's a good song on a Beatles album it must be by L&M. When did Harrison last have an album out? Was it any good? I really like some of his stuff but all I've got is the Concert for Bangladesh. _Death sweepstake dept_ I once read an interview with Lou where he was very excited that he had been voted #2 to Keith Richards as rock star most likely to pop his clogs.

That has to be going on 10 years now. I know he's done some soundtrack work (one of the "Lethal Weapon" films), session work (Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, McGuinn, others?) and the Beatle threeunion. Other than that...? I recommend highly _Concert For Bangladesh_, _All Things Must Pass_, _Somewhere In England_ and _Cloud 9_. You're on your own with the rest of them. For beginners, I recommend the aforementioned _Dark Horse_ collection. It's got all you need from his post-Apple years, including one of my faves, "Crackerbox Palace".

Reminds me of the interviewer who was shocked at the fact that Peter Frampton was a guitar player. Speaking of Garfunkel, there was a funny piece in 'MUSICIAN' magazine a few years back that tried to find a new partner for Artie. Some of the candidates: John Oates ("he's short, dark-haired, plays guitar, and has been looking for someone to boss around for years...") Ike Turner ("Art sings, but can't write or play guitar; Ike plays guitar and writes, but can't sing...") Tommy Smothers ("Artie? Why are you talking to the lamppost?") I can't remember the others.

You should try to hear out "All Things Must Pass" in its entirety, except perhaps for the "Apple HippieJam" disc that makes up a third of the release. The other two discs are chock full of worthy songs, a lot of which were written while George was still being somewhat stifled by Lennon, McCartney and Martin. Surely you've heard some aborted versions of these songs on latter-day Beatles bootlegs. The production is quite good, with plenty of horns. It knocks the stuffing out of "McCartney", if you ask me. - -- Ross Overbury Montreal, Quebec, Canada email: rosso@cn.ca ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 May 1998 11:06:19 -0700 From: "Coolio Iglesias" Subject: George Harrison Discography (no RH content) fegs, Found this at http://www.wallofsound.com/artists/georgeharrison/index.html I think it covers only US releases.

I would rank ATMP as my second favourite solo Beatles' record, right behind John's _Plastic Ono Band_. _McCartney_ was quite good, too. In fact, I still play it and _Ram_ quite a bit. I love the 'homemade' sound of those records. "Maybe I'm Amazed" is one of the greatest love songs ever written, "Junk" and "Singalong Junk" are really cool, and "Every Night" is a very good song (later covered with great success by Phoebe Snow). I like the Beatles' bootleg version of "Teddy Boy" much better than Mac's solo version, though. I think that the stuff on _McCartney_ that I mentioned are on par with his contributions to _Let It Be_ (the weakest Beatles' album, song-wise, IMHO). The rest of _McCartney_ is filler, but I find it a rather enjoyable listen and will defend my position. Of the Wings stuff, I guess I'd have to go with _Back To The Egg_, then _London Town_ , then _Band On The Run_, then everything else. I also like most of his stuff from the early eighties, especially _McCartney II_.

For a true revelation, seek out the bootleg "The Making Of ATMP" on the Repro-Man label. A 3-disc set of session tapes before the production overwhelmed the finished version. The multiple takes of "Apple Scruffs" get a little tiresome, but if you are a fan of ATMP, it's a must-have. It also reveals who REALLY wrote Ringo's "It Don't Come Easy"!
