Tonight (Monday), CourtTV's recurring program "Dominick Dunne: Power, Privilege & Justice" debuts a new episode titled "The Starlet & the Skier." As the title suggests, the hour is devoted to the Claudine Longet/Spider Sabich shooting and trial. I've been in touch with the show's producer for months, and probably would have been included in the program as a "talking head" if I didn't live on the wrong coast. More info: http://www.courttv.com/onair/shows/dunne/episodes/starlet_skier.html According to my own guide, it's showing at 7pm, 11pm and after midnight at 1am, but your own programming may be offset by one to three hours. Depending on your time zone, and whether you have cable or satellite TV. I don't know. Check to be sure. If there's a "thank you" list at the end of the credits, I may be included. We'll see.

Fight to get tickets if it comes your way: Manchester this week, Newcastle next week. Let's hope ML can get a budget to make a film of it. * Saw Richard Thompson on Saturday night at the St Davids Hall in Cardiff. Wonderful show, accompanied only by Danny Thompson on stand-up bass (no relation, I think). Half an hour in I shouted out "Do you know any songs about a Vincent motorbike?" and he replied "I'm saving the hits till later in the show". Guitar-playing was wonderful and varied, singing was better than I've ever heard him before, bass-playing was perfect as always from DT. Excellent song called "Crawl back" which I've never heard previously and must try to learn. Loads of other stuff, funny, sad, but mainly about people falling (from planes, motorcycles [yes he did get round to it] and just psychologically). * Had to go back to the GP today as my BP is up to 170 again with all this demanding entertainment! - - Mike Godwin n.p.

And a chunk of wacky wacky footage made by the ISB: "I wanted to do lots of songs on instruments I couldn't play" (Williamson).

Last chance on 24th April to object to the Stonehenge scheme (forwarded from the BOC/Hawkwind list by MRG): Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2006 14:15:24 -0000 From: Jill Strobridge Subject: OFF: Stonehenge - new road scheme Just in case there is anyone interested in the proposed road schemes through / round / underneath Stonehenge I've just received a leaflet from the Highways Agency (Department of Transport) detailing the different options for Public Consultation. There is (was) an exhibition at the White Hart Hotel in Salisbury on Thursday - Saturday 9th-11th February and in London on Friday-Saturday 17th-18th February at the Society of Antiquaries, Burlington House, Piccadilly (sadly they don't seem to have given much warning for anyone who might wanted to have attend these!). There's a website at www.highways.gov.uk/stonehenge and a questionnaire to complete (headed up with the slogan: "Safe roads, Reliable journeys, Informed travellers" hmmm). Closing date for opinions is 24th April 2006.

You know, it's a fine song and all, but I remain completely mystified why "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" seems to hold this undisputed, sacred place as the "Stairway to Heaven" of Thompson's catalog. It's like THE song. I have no idea why.
