Fox did rerun it once, at least. Of course, they had to promote the hell out of the fact that they *hadn't* rerun it...w/o noting exactly who made that decision.

Not Dark Yet and Visions of Johanna were the Dylan songs.

That got a lot of laughs thanks to the Dirty Harry rant that preceded it, but actually a strong melody and Robyn played it straight. 2 encores.

I have the answer to the mystery - the link was left up there for absolutely ages after the body text next to it had been changed from a trail of a Robyn Session to something else. The Session has now been confirmed to be Friday: http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/presenters/gideon_coe/ For those in the UK, this is on Digital Radio, Sky 911, Telewest 909 and for those without any of that and everybody else it's available online. The usual form is for the guest to be on at 1140ish (BST) and do a song, chat a bit, then another song. I will be recording this digitally out of the back of my Sky+ box, so if anyone can give me a good location to stick the MP3s for your delectation, let me know off list. Same applies for the recording of RH's comments on the day re Peter Buck's acquital to Liz Kershaw on the same station (5 minutes).

I plan to go to the Bottom Line early to pick up our tix, so I'll ask them about it. Anyway, the restaurant across the street at around 6 sounds good to me. If you want to know what I looked like 5 years ago (in a fantasy-induced hysteria - well, actually I look comatose), check this out http://kinks.it.rit.edu/fans/fan67.html I look pretty much the same now - just a bit worse for the wear.

I know there are others on the list too far away physically to almost ever get to a RH show (James. .). Last night I finally opened my Gotta Let This Hen Out DVD and threw it in the DVD player. I know a lot of you were bummed about this chintzy release, but I very much ejoyed it. It's a shame it's not box screened, but watching this is such a trip (back to the 80's!). I particularly like the cheesey low gradeness of the whole project and the 'flippin through the stations' effect.

Clint's catch phrase in the film is "a man's got to know his limitations" and he finally gets to use it when Briggs drives off with a bomb Clint put in his car and explodes. The song is a nice mid-tempo melodic one. "The Last Thing To Die" was a melancholy instrumental not unlike some other Robyn guitar instrumentals. "Visions of Johanna" was great of course.

Now, I may be reading a lot into this (and mixing it with a large dose of wishful thinking), but: 1. Robyn is planning to be back in the States in September. 2. The new Soft Boys album is (rumored, at least) due in September. 3. Bands frequently tour in support of new albums, around the time of their release. Therefore.... 4. The Soft Boys will be touring the States (again) somewhere around September 2002 in support of their new studio album. 5.
