How dare he?. And, another book on Neil Young? I've already got several on my book shelves now PLUS I heard this week Neil is releasing a new "memoir" (due out in a few months but will be previewed at an upcoming book fair in June). Between the numerous Woodstock, Laurel Canyon, CSN (&Y), and Neil books, I thought I'd read all there was to know about Neil. I heard this week that Patti Smith will be interviewing Neil at the upcoming BookExpo America. NEW YORK (AP) b Neil Young has a special gig in New York City this June b at the annual publishing convention, BookExpo America. The convention's organizers announced Monday that the rock superstar will speak June 6 about his upcoming memoir, "Waging Heavy Peace," scheduled to come out this fall. Young, 66, is known for such songs as "Heart of Gold," ''Southern Man" and "Rockin' in the Free World." Young will speak on stage at the Jacob Javits Center with an interviewer to be named later. One possibility: Stephen Colbert, who has interviewed Young on his Comedy Central show and is already a featured speaker at BookExpo.

Meanwhile, while searching for the article Jim referred to regarding a Jaco movie in the works, I came across this piece about Joni's jazz era: http://tinyurl.com/cupxjez However, he does NOT like C&S, only praising the run that came after it. "To this day, music critics routinely cite albums like Blue and Court And Spark as examples of Mitchellbs greatness. Ibve never quite got that.Of the latter, it sounds like Jonibs desperate grab at the same sort of commercial payday that similar artists from the same late-1970s singer/songwriter boom like Jackson Browne were already cashing in on b but one which nonetheless proved wildly successful in Jonibs case. Still, to me, that album reeks of L.A. studio stink to this day." He's also not enamored with anything that came out before it. However, he has written a book just released this month called "Neil Young FAQ" that supposedly has quite a bit of detail about Neil meeting "Sweet Joni" back in the day. It's not available for my Kindle so I may have to pick it up for a summer beach read.

Visions of babes dancing on tables screeching the chorus. I've often wished someone would take up Night of the Iguana and do it for the dance floor. It would work you know. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 May 2012 19:30:59 -0500 From: Michael Paz Subject: Re: Patti Smith Radio Concert (NJC) Hey Jack I am down the road in Chilicothe at Summer Camp Music Fest.

Back in 1998, Patti Smith played a concert in Chicago that many consider to be one of the best live shows ever. I wasn't there, but did hear a 6 song segment from this show, and I must say that I was blown away by it. I have a good friend that was there, and she rated as one of the best ever. Patti has gone on record as saying it's the best concert she's ever put on. Anyway, this Sunday, WXRT will be playing a 90 minute set from this show. For those not in the Chicago area, you should be able to stream it at WXRT.radio.com. I highly recommend this show to anyone who has any interest in Patti Smith. Here is a copy of the set list, found else where on the web. 1. Dj Intro 1:50 2. Dead City 4:42 3. Dancing Barefoot 5:25 4. Redondo Beach 4:35 5. Don't Say Nothing 7:39 6. Gone Again 5:10 7. Beneath The Southern Cross 5:11 8. I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry 2:41 9. Wing 4:57 10. Summer Cannibals 4:17 11. Free Money 4:02 12. About A Boy 10:33 13. Because The Night 3:40 14. People Have The Power / Rockin' In The Free World 7:31 15. Pissing In A River 5:51 16. Declaration Of Independence / Rock 'n' Roll Nigger / Gloria 11:37 17. Dj Outro 0:28 Now if anyone has any tips on how to record music streamed from a website..... Jack From XRT's website: "One of the most critically acclaimed artists to emerge in the 1970s was Chicago native, Patti Smith. Her early albums reflected her many musical influences as well as serving as an influence for future songwriters and performers. Be sure to be listening Sunday at 7:30pm for her historic Riviera set, voted #1 Concert in the 1998 XRT Listener Poll; itbs a 90-minute Sunday Night Concert Special starting at 7:30pm." ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 May 2012 06:28:10 -0700 (PDT) From: Bob Muller Subject: Re: Carly Rae Njc According to the Rolling Stone chart in the last issue "Call Me Maybe" was #1 in the "Pop Singles" category. When I mentioned her name to my son he instantly said "Call Me Maybe".

Carly Rae is a hit in the US?! That blows me away. I have to admit that she is a guilty pleasure. She was a runner up on the defunct Canadian Idol a number of years ago and she had a really catchy hit here a few years ago called "Tug of War." And for some reason, I can't get tired of Call Me Maybe even after all these months. I didn't realize she had any luck south of the border. Whoo hoo, go Canada!

Trying to keep up and catch up - here's another batch of NEW Joni covers for you. It's a solid collection of some fine tunes - our old pal from down under Christine Sullivan brings a snaky take of "Black Crow", Lauren Hooker does a very unique "Song To A Seagull", and a couple of mini-concerts from Kevin Halporn & Flor Guillen and Be Slow. You'll like the subdued sound of the latter and the musicianship of both. Tomas Nicholas changes the lyric in BYT to "heard the screen door twirl" so he can rhyme it with girl, and I'll admit that I did not know that a screen door could twirl. Damn. Anyway, here's the link: http://tinyurl.com/6p68dvt And here's the tracklist: 1. Kevin Halporn & Flor Guillen - For The Roses 2. Kevin Halporn & Flor Guillen - Hejira 3. Kevin Halporn & Flor Guillen - Both Sides Now 4. Mulberry Lane - River 5. Be Slow - Conversation 6. Be Slow - Little Green 7. Be Slow - Both Sides Now 8. Be Slow - River 9. The Folkal Point - The Circle Game 10. Stefania Tschantret - Goodbye Pork Pie Hat 11. Christine Sullivan - Black Crow 12. Scott Pettipas - Both Sides Now 13. Tomas Nicholas - Big Yellow Taxi 14. Lauren Hooker - Song To A Seagull 15. Samantha Lam - Both Sides Now 16. Elly's Band - Chelsea Morning 17. Enigma Machine - Big Yellow Taxi 18. Uwe Arenz - Both Sides Now 18 tracks, 18 hits! Enjoy. If you're going to burn an actual CD and want me to share my artwork/insert, just send me a note off-list.
