For the excellent Merry-go-Round album I suspect you'll have to hunt down an LP; likewise for Emitt's solo albums (of which the Dunhill compilation draws from three). IMO the best of his solo work is to be found on 'Emitt Rhodes' and 'Mirror'.

Pipe flow can be a subtle thing. You can have slug flow, where slugs of liquid are separated by bubbles of gas. You can have multi-phase flow, where suspended particulates are doing their own thing in liquid, with or without gas phases. The really weird thing is, these phases aren't necessarily flowing in the same direction. The undersea oil pipeline folks have to deal with all this stuff, and I'm glad I don't.

For me, I think the largest amount of cash expended would be as a U2 fan. Every cassette tape, a few vinyl albums, every CD, most singles and EPs, the iTunes digital box set, all available DVDs, countless bootlegs, about five books, numerous posters and T-shirts; not to mention seeing them on every tour since "War," sometimes two or three times per tour.

Yeah, *awesome* ending. Way to go, Doctor Bashir! I think the movie would have been a lot stronger if (1) they would have made things less deliberately obscure during the first half, and (2) they would have eased off the fact-dropping conversations that seemed too highly scripted for my taste. Other than that, I dug it, Clooney was awesome, and I already ordered Baer's book. Did you see "Paradise Now?"

They're dreamy, melancholy, and kind of fade into the background. The vocalist, Hope Sandoval, has a lovely, far-away voice. If there is an "L.A. sound", this band is not it. I used to listen to them when I was falling asleep. I have two albums "So To-night that I Might See" and "Among My Swan" but I found them similar enough that I mostly just listened to the former.

I guess Los Lobos really IS just another band from East LA! I've always considered Warren Zevon and "LA Artist", but I might've missed some reason for his ommission. Can't be where he was born or anything-- that'd ace Joni as well. By the same token you'd think that some lesser, but hugely popular, singer-songwriters would rate-- Eagles, Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, etc. I mean, probaby most of us dislike the Eagles in varying shades, but seriously, having the best-selling album ever makes that ommission glaring. Certainly I'd add the Negro Problem, but I guess they're somewhat below the radar compared to most of these artists. I enjoy and respect them more that quite a few of these folks. I'd add the Dream Syndicate, if only for the first album, and Steve Wynn in general. There are a few other Paisley Underground acts that should probably rate as well, but I'm not as rabid about that scene as some. The Minutemen open up a few cans of worms: first, I don't think they'd count themselves as "LA". Secondly, I don't think citing that one band covers Mike Watt's contribution enough (but I like fIREHOSE more than most, so there's that). And finally, if you let them in, you'd need to cite Black Flag for sure, and you might as well open the door to other Orange County acts... I don't have much regard for many of them, but arguably Bad Religion, the Offspring, No Doubt (etc.) are at least "significant". And hell, the Chili Peppers deserve a mention given the low profile or limited output of some of these acts, for popularity, longevity, and LA boosterism alone. > I didn't find: > The Germs > The Go-Gos > Fear > > Those are oversights, I think.

Once someone introduces that reading of it, it's hard to hear it any other way. So many people of that generation think of it as a sort of sequel to "The Times They Are A Changin'" that I think it's kind of funny to think of Dylan, kind of typically, taking the piss out of the myth of his "Voice of a Generation" status by doing it on purpose: "Everybody's gonna nod their heads and say "so true" about this because they'll think it's about the squares of the older generation, but really it's gonna make 'em look like a bunch of homos!" Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, but how often is a one-eyed midget just a one-eyed midget? Unlike Momus, David Byrne took Jones at face value as an ineluctable square on "Mr. Jones", from NAKED.

I think the sex thing is a metaphor for the character's cluelessness. That is, it might be specifically about a "straight" not knowing what's going on...but more generally, it's about a "straight" not knowing what's going on.
