The song stuck in my mind partly because it seemed a kinda different sound for Robyn's axe (I guess Knox), but then I thought the sound was having a slight return in "Cheese Alarm." Having said "Cheese" is everyone aware of this passage on the Rolling Stones faq? -- Woody says Keith is afraid of cheese in Rolling Stone magazine, October 1994... Undercover readers analyze the meaning of this for approximately six weeks, digressing into the interelationship between cheese and heroin addiction and constipation. A syndrome of tight pants wearers dubbed (by a doctor) as "Mick Jagger's Revenge" joins the story. Exact relevance, if any , unclear...... A newswire story about 18 people being injured in a Cheltenham, England cheese-rolling festival and the fact that Brian Jones grew up there leads to speculation that Brian Jones rolled cheese down a hill every year as a child in Cheltenham and then grew up to be a Rolling Stone. Speculation of cheese involvement in Brian's death in 1969 discussed now and then......... A Toronto caterer to the Stones commented that Keith lingers round the cheese tray and eats a lot for a skinny guy......

But talk about sexist lyrics -- & John singing that (blush) in front of Yoko! Until recently I was in a small swing/jump blues band. We had just learned "Honey Hush" when we got our 1st female member, a sax player. We offered to drop the song but she said she'd come to swing & it had historical value.

I also liked the languid, Twin Peaks-influenced pacing of the season premiere. So many shows display all their tricks on the season opener, but The Sopranos takes. It's. Own. Sweet. Time. They handled Livia's demise perfectly in Episode Two. The wicked old witch at last is dead! That character was a helluva swansong for Nancy Marchand. Plus, it's good to see Janice back.

John would almost certainly come to the song via the Johnny Burnette Rock'n'Roll Trio version, replete with Paul Burlison's amazing fuzz-guitar sound. I agree about the lyrics, but dare I say that they are so over the top there might be something self-parodic about them? Berry actually acknowledges his debt to the jump bluesters. I can't remember chapter and verse but I read once that he admitted that even the famous Johnny B. Goode guitar lick wasn't his. He also nicked a lot of stuff T-Bone Walker. Having said all that, I saw him play last year and the things he can do with cross-rhythms and scansion are nobody's business...and charisma?

I'm sure Eb could chime in with some kind of interesting tidbits, but this magazine was unlike the rest. A literary magazine that didn't have a plan...made things up as it went. It wore it's heart, and neuroses, on its sleeves. Many editorials exposed the industry and itself for the fools they are. IT'S GOING OUT OF BUSINESS...they just released their last issue and if you haven't heard of it before, you might try it out. My experience has been that it sells out rather quickly in Seattle, so who knows how fast they will go around the country. Website - www.speakmag.com Editor/Publisher - Dan Rolleri Art Director - Martin Venezky (www.appetiteengineers.com) and my hero! Anyways...I'm so bummed out by this. I just wanted to share it with the lot of y'all...this is a magazine that I feel any intelligent person with a conscious can get behind. The word should have gotten out sooner... And if somebody happens to have a few million bucks just laying around, please call them a keep them going ASAP.
