Great (and actually very powerful) story about seeing Waters. The only experience that comes close to that for me is when I was in Terence McNally's "Lips Together, Teeth Apart" and my character had a monologue where he's thinking out loud and spewing hatred and shouts out "F*CKING N*GGER!!

I was captivated by the beautiful version of "Amelia" that Bob posted last week, so I went to Roxana Amed's site and found this (in broken English), from a description of her new album, "Limbo": "With the happy unanimity of the producer and the singer, two songs were added that the public never listened by AMED until that time. One, a memorable Joni Mitchell4s song, Amelia -a statement of principles to include it, on an impecable and outstanding Spanish version by Pedro Aznar- and after several months of waiting for the authorization of this version they4ve got these lines from the L.A. agency: "Joni has loved the recording (...) She wants you to know that she thought the song was beautifully done and wanted me to pass on her thank you to the artist for this wonderful rendition." I've ordered the album; has anyone heard it?

Songs: Breathe/Money/ Wish You Were Here(which Waters dedicated to Syd)/Comfortably Numb. One the other hand, with McCartney onstage in London, and Stevie Wonder performing at the same time in Philly, what did MTV do? Quick, go to Jessica Simpson doing a commercial for acne cream. Show short clips of Destiny's Child. Face shots of MTV veejays saying how, like, it's really, like important to understand the problem of like, poverty. Nice. Throughout the eight hour broadcast, a full, uninterupted song as rare. But somehow, despite all the commercialism, wizard Geldoff's message got through: tell the leaders of the eight richest nations on earth ("meeting at a 5-star hotel on a golf course" in Scotland) to vow to stop the suffering in Africa. After EmpTV went back to "Punk'd", I went to CNN and San Francisco news, who mentioned the Live 8 event, and quickly went on to other stories. The little white girl kidnapped in the midwest deserves 10 times the air time as the little black kids dying like flies. BBC news, on the other hand, devoted 15 minutes to discussing the problem, letting aid workers discuss the situation without the 5 second soundbite rule.

( Um, I must've hit 'send' on accident, 'cause I's just a lurkin'. Like I said I would. :-) - -Julius ___ Bob Dylan in an exclusive deal with Starbucks? Why not? After all, everybody must get coffee. - - Aidin Vaziri, Chronicle Pop Music Critic Saturday, July 2, 2005 After that Victoria's Secret commercial, it was hard to imagine what else counterculture icon Bob Dylan could possibly do to insult his fans. As it turns out, for a guy who looks as if he regularly forgets to shave in the morning, he's pretty resourceful. This week, it was announced that Dylan, known for his socially and politically charged lyrics, had signed a deal to distribute "Live at the Gaslight 1962" exclusively through Starbucks, the multi-tentacled coffee shop chain that, while offering excellent workplace benefits to its employees, is frequently accused of devastating the environment, exploiting Third World farmers and wrecking small businesses. Almost immediately, people on Dylan discussion boards were hurling fresh accusations of selling out at their hero. "I think it's just a shame really," one dismayed member wrote at fan site Expecting Rain (expectingrain.com). "How sad and disappointing to hear Dylan giving into corporate slavehood!" another protested. But at least one still believed in the singer's insurrectionary powers: "It's easier to take something down from the inside." Talk about wishful thinking. After a few years of rather discreet dunking, Starbucks plunged directly into the music business last year like a cruller into a grande espresso macchiato, selling more than 775,000 copies of Ray Charles' posthumous release, "Genius Loves Company" -- 26 percent of the disc's overall sales. The chain subsequently moved 65,000 copies of Tina Turner's hits compilation, "All the Best," pushing the album to No. 2 on the Billboard charts, and significantly boosted sales for jazz singer Madeleine Peyroux. Since 1999, when the Seattle-based corporation paid $8 million to acquire San Francisco label and retailer Hear Music, it has vigorously tried to blend java and jams. Elvis Costello, the Rolling Stones and Norah Jones each has offered one- of-a-kind compilations of favorite songs to the stores' Artists' Choice series. Starbucks' Opus Collections cherry-pick songs from the back catalogs of prestige acts like Joni Mitchell, Miles Davis and Frank Sinatra, and the retailer has sold several exclusive albums, including an acoustic version of Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill." Earlier this year, Starbucks helped break New York folk-rock band Antigone Rising to a national audience by selling 35,000 copies of its acoustic debut album, "From the Ground Up," in just three weeks. This fall, the coffee bars will carry the new release by jazz veteran Herbie Hancock. Meanwhile, the company's Hear Music media bars, installed in 45 stores in Seattle and Austin, Texas, let customers burn personalized CDs from a digital library of more than 150,000 songs. The company has also teamed with XM Satellite Radio. Starbucks has tried to branch out of the coffee business before -- in the late 1990s there was a failed magazine, dot-com, and an Internet cafe near Potrero Hill called Circadia -- but with music, the brand is finally brewing success in the lifestyle market. The move hasn't come without controversy. When the chain secured exclusive rights to the new Morissette album last month, giving its coffeehouses the advantage of stocking the 10th anniversary, acoustic version of her blockbuster "Jagged Little Pill" album six weeks ahead of other outlets, traditional retailers became livid. HMV Canada, that country's largest music retailer, removed Ottawa native Morissette's entire catalog from its shelves in retaliation, and Newbury Comics of Boston quickly followed suit. Meanwhile, Terry Currier, the owner of the independent Music Millennium stores in Portland, Ore., wrote an open letter to Morissette's label, Maverick: "Starbucks can survive the adversity of the music industry," he said. "Stores like us may not." Still, the album premiered with the biggest single-week CD sales in Starbucks history, selling more than 61,000 copies in its first seven days of exclusive availability at the coffee shops. Dylan's "Live at the Gaslight 1962" contains the earliest known recordings of "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" and "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" and several other tunes that have been available in bootleg form for decades. Dylan's record company says that the CD, which will hit Starbucks stores on Aug. 30, is just part of a larger marketing campaign. In September, PBS will premiere Martin Scorsese's Dylan film biography "No Direction Home" with a two-CD soundtrack containing rare and unreleased recordings from 1961 to 1966. The coffee chain will be selling that, too.
