Maybe a little esoteric but definately not wrong.

It arrived today, and I'm taking a few days off work to get it set up and in production. At some point between Saturday and Tuesday, smoe.org will be shut down to install the new hardware. The downtime will probably be 4-6 hours. During the time we're off-line, mail will be queued up at my ISP so no mail will be lost. I'll send out another announcement once the new gear is online.

I can't. I think Queen were only together 18 years at the most, weren't they? Their first album was released in 1974 and Freddie Mercury died in 1991. That's 17 right there. I'm tacking on another year to compensate for rehearsals and demos, etc. before the first album came out. What about The Band? As I recall, they formed in 1965 with Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel and Garth Hudson. The same line-up released their final album in 1978. That's 13 years with the same members. Haven't Status Quo had the same four blokes for about 30 years? Doing their best to live up to their name, I'd say. I think INXS were together with the ame line-up for close to 20 years, too, weren't they? - -g- - ----------==========**********O**********==========--------- Glen Uber uberg@sonic.net "Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible." --Frank Zappa - ----------==========**********O**********==========--------- ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 May 1998 19:34:33 -0400 (EDT) From: Chris Subject: Concept albums and Carl Palmer and Macca and more >This got me thinking... what is everybody's favorite "concept album"? I don't have a favorite, but have had my hand in a couple of "amatuer" concept albums/tapes. The first was about Elvis Presley, and called "Everthing's Elvis". It was totally improvised, which means some of it is pretty funny, while some is absolutely terrible. It is all songs about Elvis, with such titles as - Elvis the Weather King; Elvis Arise; Doing My Groovy Elvis Thing; Elvis Says (ala the Velvets Caroline Says); and the Elvis Suite featuring- Drum Tribute to Elvis; Elvis Death March; and Elvis, the Ultimate Pilgrimage. Then there was the the one called "Truman Capote and Donkey Hote". We never finished this one, but the concept was that Truman Capote was the imbodiment of evil, while the little Donkey named Hote was good and pure. Truman would broadcast his dastardly evil messages through the television sets, like an evangelist. People would believe he was a God, or represented God, but he was actually trying to take control of their minds. Only Donkey Hote could save them, as he was the only one who could see that Truman was evil. And speaking of stalkers, Carl Palmer is at it again. I opened up my weekly indie paper to see if there were any good concerts coming to town, and who do you think is playing here.... Emerson Lake and Palmer! Damn, he has just got to leave me alone. I guess I'm going to have to slap him with a restraining order (like the last one did any good.) And I hear all the songs they'll be playing will be about me, with secret messages in them from Carl that only I will understand. Oh when will it ever end.... >and yet you never had the wonderful, very children's-ish "London Town" >album? And why has no-one mentioned this album? Well, I must pipe up here and say that was the first Macca album I ever bought. I used to play it all the time and just loved London Town, With a Little Luck, and I've Had Enough. I even liked the song Famous Groupies. I should listen to it just to see what I'd think of it now. Still have the album, and the poster (yes,that's right, poster - remember when you could buy an album and might get something really cool like a huge poster to hang on your wall?) Just had to look at it again - it's a double sided poster, which is very cool. >And why do people often refer to The Beatles "Sgt. Pepper" as being a >concept album?!?! Maybe because they've seen the horrendous Bee Gees/Frampton vehicle, which wrapped it all together in one dorky concept? Who do we shoot for hoisting that on the world? Although, shamefully enough I must admit to actually seeing it twice at the theater. The second time with my cousin, who screamed in horror at the top of her lungs when Strawberry Fields fell off the top of the thing the Future Villain Band (Aerosmith) was playing on. Quite embarrassing... >This reminds me actually- I've been curious about something.

Is this just an across-the-board thing, i.e., all >children love music shows, or is it particular to the ones who later grow up >to be geekoids who bore friends and family? :) Yes, I suspect it is so. I also loved Sonny and Cher, and watched Sha-Na-Na and Hee Haw,although I wasn't a fan of the last two. But back in the sixties, I used to watch the Andy Williams Show, and the Glen Campbell Show. In fact, I was reminded recently that when I was a small child, I wanted to be just like Glen Campbell when I grew up. (This was before the Tanya-Tucker-drug-addiction- girlfiend-beating phase of his career.) He was still a clean cut married guy at that time.

You didn't acknowledge my Dead Milkmen quote the other day, so I'm certainly not going to acknowledge yours ... oh. Shit. As for concept albums, I *think* Uz Jsme Doma's Pohadky ze Zapotrebi is a concept album, but until I translate the song titles and lyrics I can't be sure. "Pohadky ze zapotrebi" means something like "Fairy tales from necessity," and each song is subtitled "tale about [something]." (One that I did understand right off the bat is "tale about a full train.") That sounds kinda conceptual, right? I think a lot of Fegs, even you unfortunate non-Czech-speaking Fegs, would like Uz Jsme Doma. Their CDs are distributed in the US by Skoda Records, and they tour North America occasionally.

That's a concept. Thus, a concept album. Add to this evidence the framework implied by the two versions of "Sgt. Pepper," and the obvious continuity in production style throughout the album.

It wouldnt be as > hard to believe that he wrote an obvious homage. Forget the gay crap. I was put through some horrible weird kind of mind game. Carl had help too, there are quite a few Sting references in the DB and Pulse. Castle, field, "hey teacher" the stilts, the cap n gown, etc. Of course the Hey Teacher is old, but the way those words came up on the bottom of the stage on the tour during a song other than ABITW, was no accident. It was horrible what happened to me. It wasn't just a guy breaking a womans heart. It was mind games, scary stalking, no where to hide, kind of games. I was hurt and I was helpless to them. How could I know what was happening? There was no where to go for answers. I thought I was losing my mind for a while. There were many kinds of weird things. 1. A 20 year old film that I'm in was used in a new video of ELP. 2. Carl saying my name in another video. 3. Carl yelling my name during a live concert broadcasted over the radio. He was yelling that he loved me and when did I want my wedding. 4. And then there are the songs by Asia, and ELP that were the main part of the weirdness. After 20 years I hear a love song by ELP that has lyrics exactly to words Carl said to me and the song's beginning describes the surroundings of where we first met, and then the songs ending describing how I left. I mean exactly, no coincidence there. 5. Of course he was very careful not to give me anything that I could really use in court. He didn't put his name on many songs as the writer but when he did, there were always other names with his as cowriter. 6. His manager called my work. How they got the number I don't know. That is plain and simply stalking there. He asks for our fax # and then this weird fax comes through right after the call with the name Palmer at the top. Of course is was something I couldn't use in court. It was scary because it was from a company, how he did that I don't know. This all took place on Valentines Day of 1995. 7. There was no one for me to talk to and I was so scared keeping that all to myself. My immediate family knew but they couldn't do anything either. So I was isolated with all the pain. Also the pain that he would go to such lengths to hurt me, was unbearable. For a long while I actually believed in the love songs were a message of love from him. He knew though that if I told people anything, that most people would think I was a nutcase and brush it off. And that is what happens in this ng, I get called a nut. I knew other musicians knew what he was doing, I prayed to God to send someone with the truth of what was h appening to me. Then the DB came out. I was going through such a horrible time in 93, I heard the ELP song Affairs of the Heart and thought that Carl was either nuts or that he had to care for me. But I kept wondering why would he do all this to me? The only thing is that when I knew him I knew he was different and the way he was when we almost had real sex was strange. He was just plain weird and even Rogers manager Mark Fenwich who was on tour with ELP in the 70's even told me that Carl was weird when Carl tried to send me home early in the morning, probably because he didn't want to have sex. Carl was sorta nice to me, but I realize now that he was using me to be with him for show only. In front of the crowds and going into and out of limos. There is more of course. But this is just a sampling. But even after the DB which was an obvious message to Carl to get lost and leave me alone, he still kept up his weirdness with that fax to my work.

(May 22, 1998 6:26 p.m. EDT http://www.nando.net) -- John Derek, the actor-director reputed to have been the force behind the meteoric career of his wife, Bo Derek, died Friday. He was 71. With family members present, Derek died at 12:45 p.m., said Marian Medical Center spokeswoman Stephanie Grogan. Derek, who had a history of heart trouble, was found unconscious at his Santa Ynez Valley home Wednesday afternoon and underwent lengthy heart surgery. Dr. Luke Faber said Derek had suffered a catastrophic problem with his aorta and heart. The Hollywood-born Derek began as a movie actor in the 1940s, and despite roles in such notable films as "All the King's Men," "The Ten Commandments" and "Exodus," his acting career stalled and he turned to still photography, film directing and producing. Ultimately, he was best known for marrying a series of beautiful actresses, French film starlet Pati Behrs, Ursula Andress, Linda Evans and finally Bo Derek, who was a teenager named Mary Cathleen Collins when they met. They wed in 1974 after she turned 18. His reputation as a Svengali stuck -- despite her protests -- after she starred as the object of Dudley Moore's fantasies in Blake Edwards' 1979 film "10" and she became an instant sex symbol. Derek was credited with masterminding her role, which created a rage for his wife's cornrow hairstyle and made "She's a 10" part of the language. But the success was never to be repeated. There was controversy when Derek directed his wife in "Bolero," which ran into trouble over the extent of the her sex scenes as well as ridicule of lovemaking that reportedly provoked audiences into fits of laughter. Bo was the producer; John was the screenwriter. He also directed his wife in 1981's "Tarzan the Ape Man" and 1990's "Ghosts Can't Do It," both of which she produced. Derek had two children with Behrs, son Russell and daughter Sean. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 23 May 98 13:39:00 bst From: "J.M.

Steady on my man, I beg to remind you that if we did have a thing that ate Hippies, we would be minus a huge swag of good music not only from the hippie era, but also that which comes after, anyway, weren't you looking for some early Floyd recently ? Which might make you the things first victim.......... However, if we could have a *selective* thing that ate hippies, then there would be no chance of Carl Palmer turning up at the fegfest , i'm afraid he's joining me in a collective manifestation where we will materialise at the Quails house into a brace of inanimate objects, so you may be sitting, voiding your bowels onto , inhaling, ingesting, walking on, sleeping or swimming in bits of Carl partygoers, now isn't that a reassuring fact, huh? I promise I'll be more discrete, in fact , I will try to reside in Quail's statue of Cthulhu, so if you want to come up and have a chat to me anytime during the evening feel free to do so, the talk may be a bit one sided but I will be a good listener and perhaps the more legless of the company could pour their maudlin drunken droolings in mine and Cthulhu's ear , I will be prepared to put up withthis if it means that the god will be diverted from assisting Quail inhis various plottings and ner-do wellery. Now I know this is probably risky behaviour on my part, BUT it will only be my astral projection, soI'll be able to piss off out of there if things get rough. I figure I owe it to the fegs present to try to do my best to keep some sort of sanity level and prevail on Cthulhu to ease off on some of the psychic madness that I know it and Quail have decided to unleash on you unsuspecting buggers . Fear not , I will do my best for you (yes I know that's not very reassuring, but beggers can't be chosers, it will just have to do ) , and I will of course be helped along the way in the form of any offerings you can make in the way of stimulants to the statue during the course of the evening ,which will keep my astral projection in a good mood. dave ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V7 #201 *******************************
