It was on a shared bill with (a) The Alan Parsons Project* and (b) the members of Wings who are not Paul McCartney. In 1998 or so, in Atlantic City. That was an extremely weird show. J *When I was round about 12 years old, in the early 80s, The Alan Parsons Project was my favorite pop band. For much longer than they should have been, like more than a year. They might be the first band I was ever a fan of. Do you know Alan Parsons had a hand in producing some of the Pink Floyd's most popular records? And near-totally unrelated, but Alan Parker, whose name sounds very similar, directed The Wall.

The environment was all wrong - they were in room light, couldn't do much with the props (big ol' pyramid & stuff), the crowd wasn't real responsive. The second one was an early 80s theater show behind Adventures In Utopia, and the show was real tech-intensive, interacting with a big video screen a lot. That one was a ton o' fun. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2008 15:50:21 -0500 From: "Jeremy Osner" Subject: Re: New York Dolls Reunite With Todd Rundgren for Album > the members of Wings who are not > Paul McCartney. s/b "The members of Wings who are not named McCartney".

This is so very odd, because before checking my feg digest, I checked my e-mail, and there was an e-mail from Eb. I hadn't heard from him since Tom Brady went down (he sent condolences). He had been out with his camera taking photos of the fire. Most impressive.

I think before, I was listening to it as if I were expecting it to be a studio album and having that not pan out, perhaps. The version of "Wish I Was a Pretty Girl" really took me by surprise -- previously I had sort of regarded this song (and am I here paraphrasing a recent fegs mailer? If so thanks for the help putting this thought together) as something to be included in my listening regimen qua a particular instance of Hitchcock's style, rather than for itself. But there's also something great about it, at least the way they are performing it here. OTOH "The Cars She Used to Drive" is confirming my past impressions of the song (in various versions) as being near the acme of Hitchcock's work.

Bayard is still alive and well; he hasn't gone to prison or joined a cult; he hasn't even stopped liking Fegs. I think he just lost the urge to spend much time on internet chit-chat. - --Chris ______________________________________________________________________ Christopher Gross On the Internet, nobody knows I'm a dog. chrisg@gwu.edu ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V16 #778 ********************************
