If fact, it looked to me like Joe spent the first part of the song trying to get Scott's attention to tell him not to play it, and after a couple missed cues, only grudgingly accepted he couldn't get out of it. But, for those of us too young to have ever attended a GT show, we take what we can get, even without Gil. We've spent enough time recently talking about Anton's albums, but let me add that he's really, really fun to see live. He has this manic personality on stage that is very funny. I don't think I could explain why hearing Anton discuss the intricacies and difficulty of using Scotch tape is so funny, but it is. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Aug 2006 19:29:22 -0400 From: "Paul King" Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Very Bad News I just heard a commemoration/eulogy of him along with a song from "Forever Changes", reported by David Johnston of CBC Radio's "As It Happens", at the end of that program.
