It is all about the British music/pop industry chronicling the late fifties to now - but the emphasis is on management and more acutely rampant, perennial use. Napier-Bell used to manage the Yardbirds, Japan and Wham! and writes objectively and often hilariously about the business. No Joni (as its all about the UK - so thankfully no Madonna either) which is a shame because there could have been some nice quotes from her...... anyway read it, it's kinda epic!

Corrine Brown addressing Congress that I thought was GREAT. She passionately spoke (PASSIONATELY, ya know, as in: You've got to shake your fists at lightning now You've got to roar like forest fire You've got to spread your light like blazes All across the sky They're going to aim the hoses on you Show 'em you won't expire Not till you burn up every passion Not even when you die Come on now You've got to try If you're feeling contempt Well then you tell it If you're tired of the silent night Jesus well then you yell it): "I come from Florida, where you and others participated in what I call the United States coup d'etat. We need to make sure it doesn't happen again," Brown said. "Over and over again after the election when you stole the election, you came back here and said, 'Get over it.' No, we're not going to get over it. And we want verification from the world." I was whooping and cheering, yelling: "Right on, Sistah! You tell 'em!", until I heard the bad news. She was censured! :( You can see the whole story here: http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/07/16/florida.fight.ap/index.html I like this lady! Em in FL, is she your represenative?

The staging, which boasts it is the "exclusive North American engagement," is set to perform at A.C.T.'s Geary Theater, Aug. 26-Sept. 26. Single tickets go on sale Aug. 1. The Black Rider: The Casting of the Magic Bullets is a musical theater piece featuring music and lyrics by Tom Waits, text from William S. Burroughs and musical arrangements by Greg Cohen and Waits. Robert Wilson directs the work billed as a "re-imagining of a 19th century folk tale about a clerk who makes a Faustian pact with the devil, accepting magic bullets in order to win the hand of his beloved in a shooting contest." International pop singer and actor Marianne Faithfull stars in the The Black Rider as Pegleg, the devil incarnate opposite Cabaret vet Matt McGrath ( Hedwig and the Angry Inch ) as clerk Wilhelm. Canadian singer Mary Margaret O'Hara (sister of film's Catherine O'Hara) portrays Ktchen, Wilhelm's true love. The ensemble also includes Sona Cerven, Alan Charlesworth, Janet Henfrey, Jessie Kilguss, Nigel Richards, Dean Robinson, Gabriella Santinelli, Richard Strange, Monika Tahal, Jake Thornton and Jack Willis. The design team of The Black Rider includes Wilson (set and lights), Frida Parmeggiani (costumes) and Heinrich Brunke (additional lights). Wolfgang Wiens provides dramaturgy. Bent Clausen serves as musical director with David Coulter as associate music director over an eight-member orchestra called "The Magic Bullets" featuring Thomas Bloch, Terry Edwards, Caroline Hall, Rory McFarlane, Jack Pinter and Kate St John. The score of The Black Rider calls for an eclectic pit of such instruments as the toy piano, the pocket trumpet, the Stroh violin, the Ondes Martenot, the glass harmonica, the Cristal Baschet, the drunk piano and the musical saw. The Black Rider was previously seen at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The San Francisco run is produced by BITE:04, Barbican, London, and Cultural Industry, and co-produced by A.C.T. and Sydney Festival (where the show will travel next) in association with The Black Rider Circle. For subscriptions to the season at A.C.T., 415 Geary St. in San Francisco, CA, call (415) 749-2250. Single tickets will be available Aug. 8.

His website descibes the ACOY cover as a "stripped-down version", but I would say that the VAST majority of them are, Sloan's heavy metal version notwithstanding. Tom's Cover becomes #1539 And he's artist #1212 And once again, 2004 is proving to be a banner year for Joni covers. And don't forget Richie Havens' Woodstock coming out this Tuesday!

Very underrated, at least here in NAmerica. I wonder what she thinks of the music business? LOL!
