Starkey" Subject: Re: Adrienne Barbeau Strikes Again What's wrong with Adrienne Barbeau? I'm not aware of her singing ability, but I enjoy watching her as Bea Arthur's daughter, "Carol" on Maude. She couldn't be as bad as William Shatner doing "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" Now with those Priceline commercials, he's suddenly hip singing those songs out of tune.

I brought this post up with my vicarious jmdl husband, scott. Here's his response: " Vince, you need more levels of hell( Dante had 9?) to accommodate the volume of bad music ;~) You also wrote: > Getting out of hell passes will go to Iggy Pop for the astounding > drumming on that song from Trainspotting. > > Funny , we both replied, That Iggy Pop would most likely decline that promotion :~)" I also agree with Mark, that Jerry Garcia(already there at the table),Mickey Hart and Phil Lesh be there as well. They've done so much for 'starving' artists', not to mention our 'Starving Planet'.

Unearned suffering is redemptive, you know. Billie's there on eternal holiday. The Fab Four will be there, naturally, but Paul gets to eat fattened beetle larvae as an apetizer (penance for pinning on Wings without having earned them). Jim Croce is there feasting on time from a bottle like there's no tomorrow. Patsy Cline's there, I'm sure. Robert Johnson, too (sold his soul, but Anne Murray bought it back for him). Laura Nyro's there (perhaps it's actually a stoned-soul picnic). I leave hell's belles to someone else's sooth-saying. I pray it's not truly for children, as Pat Benatar swears. Patti B. herself isn't worthy of crumbs off the table. But since the merciful are to be shown mercy, she can sit to a wretch, like me! if you want us we'll be at bar. (Wine. We'll be drinking wine from the cup of salvation, okay?) <> Preaching to the choir here, Rev. ;-) - -Julius np: Andre Crouch and the Disciples "To God Be the Glory." ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2000 23:29:57 -0500 From: Scott and Jody Subject: OOOPS!

Leonard" Subject: Re: Tyrant Eat Tyrant I have this fantasy (which I mentioned on the list a couple of weeks ago) that DED and CMIARS may have shared some of the same sessions, and that there may even have originally been a "duet" album in the planning stages (of which only "Good Friends" with Michael McDonald was used on DED). This may explain Dolby's "continued" presence on CMIARS, as well as all the other "duets." Just mindless conjecture on my part. :) "Boston Jim" > > Does this mean that Dolby was the tyrant, or the manager?
