(of course, i've always thought that > Brenda was Thatcher, not Queen Lizzie). If Brenda was Thatcher, all the more reason for her not to be called "Reg," I suppose. :) However -- I forget which album it's in, and I'm too lazy to go check, but you've seen the cartoon illustration of the song, yes? The Reg bits are spoken not by the sledge's VIP passenger but by a sort of suave skeleton fellow, lending some credence to the idea that Reg is there as a rhymer. I do like the Regina hypothesis a lot, though -- sometimes other people make more sense of these random choices than the artist can. Did most of you end up getting the "Middle Class Hero" booklet? I thought it was a pleasant read, format notwithstanding, and it settled the "working at the Earth Exchange at half 22" line; I guess Michele was indeed working at such a place at age 11. This also implies that "Rebel Rebel" was _her_ favorite song. Not a bad choice; it might have been mine if it had been played to me in my crib.

Though having gone to my own first concert in 1968 I know it's hard to recall even if you weren't stoned. The memory gets blended w/ later concerts, photos, videos & recordings, til you can't tell which was the dream and which was memorex. T's-- Somewhere in the basement I have, folded neatly, the very first black plastic trash bag I used as a shirt in the late 70s. I also have the hair I grew continuously from 1968 to 1974 (about 20 inches) in a box. I think it's a box a necktie came in, but the barber gave it to me. Cat Stevens-- I always kinda liked the Tremelos' "Here Comes My Baby," thought the Dead should have done it later. I remember people crying over "Fathers and Sons." The view of him as a mawkish old hippie got trotted out usefully in 1982's Brimstone & Treacle w/ Sting as a nutty, maybe criminal, maybe worse, punk (supernatural undertones) who gets taken in by a sweet, pious family (supernatural overtones) who have a beautiful but very handicapped daughter & a daRk secRet. Anyhow the "treacle" mom loves "Morning Has Broken" & plays it constantly. Recent movie viewing-- The Mike Douglas Show w/ Guest Hosts John Lennon & Yoko Ono (Chuck Berry Episode). This is hilarious. John & Yoko are in top form, saying witty & insightful things (none of the "I'm a genious" shit), wearing stylish but reasonable clothes & playing & singing well. "Sisters Oh Sisters" comes off fine as an accoustic duet. I love that song. It's reggae (early, & beats hell out of "D'Yer Maker"), it's girl group pop, its a folk anthem! From reading about it I had the idea this show was John paying back Berry for "stealing" Come Together, & that Chuck was "the boss" here, but he is very friendly to Lennon. There's a segment w/ a Macrobiotic chef who sadly comes off as stereotypical hippie chick, but she gets *everybody* to help prepare macrobio eggrolls. Again, this is stereotypical , but Chuck looks non-plussed. John: "Chuck, I, uh, didn't tell you about this." He then complicates matters but putting his apron on around both himself & Berry. Later Chuck is asked to fry something & calls in what sounds like real distress "John?" to Lennon, now at the other end of the table. Berry plays some great solos. There is also a "Wow! The seventies!" segment where a psychologist/jazz keyboardist puts bio-feedback wires on John & Yoko & they make jazz-noodling- plus-random-brain-fart-music all sitting on the floor. I can't wait to rent the rest of the series.

Sounds unmissable. The only time I saw John and Yoko 'perform', they got into a bag and (possibly) came out again. Didn't play or sing a note. Have you seen that film where Keith Richards organdizes a superstar band to perform with Chuck for his 60th birthday, and not only does Chuck criticise the way Keith bends the strings on 'Carol', he also deliberately plays several numbers in the wrong keys, just to foul everybody up. > "I love my shirt, I love my shirt, the one I > feel especially groooovy in" Donovan "Never take it to the cleaners, I can't wait to get it back again Couldn't take it to the cleaners, I'd rather wash it in a stream You know what I mean?" - - Mike "in fact I love my whole wardrobe" Godwin n.p.

Sing along with me, James: "Sweet Regina's gone to China cross-legged on the floor..." Heh. Couldn't resist. Anyway, I was listening to Guided By Voices' "Alien Lanes" on the bus today, as I often do, and I thought to myself, I could use some more GBV in my life. Y'know, not that I want Bob Pollard in my living room breaking all my stuff with his karate kicks and drinking my Mirror Pond and scaring my cat, but more of their music, if you see what I mean. At the moment, I own the following GBV records: "Bee Thousand" and, obviously, "Alien Lanes" (I love these to death) "Hold On Hope" EP (I don't listen to this much, it's OK) "Isolation Drills" (I like this but find it over-produced) I know there's about 5,000 more to choose from. In a giddy moment I contemplated buying the Suitcase, but I don't have $60 to spare. So what should I do? C'mon, I need to buy more records, otherwise I'm just going to end up listening to "Featuring 'Birds'" again, and nobody wants that. Thank you. n.
