Search presents - Jib Jab's 'Second Term' ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2005 06:16:28 EST From: JRMCo1@aol.com Subject: Melody Maker, circa '70 This is how I get my kicks: buying old newspapers, magazines and whatnot that feature Joni in some way. This time I bought a stack of crumbly "Melody Maker" rags from some kind soul in the UK, who must've been cleaning out their attic. I can imagine them taking whatever antiques they discovered to the "Antiques Roadshow - UK Edition" and selling what remained to some restless American sod, like me, on eBay. Anyways, I open the parcel and there's synchro staring right back at me: On the cover of Melody Maker, September 5, 1970 (Isle of Wight Special) Large feature pic of Joni playing her Martin. Caption reads: "Joni Mitchell scored a notable personal triumph at the Isle of Wight. Despite two disturbing interruptions - one by a fan and one by a man who grabbed the mike between songs and tried to blurt out a message to the "revolutionaries" - she overcame her considerable nervousness and stunned the crowd with a set full of peerlessly beautiful songs, leaving to an ovation after several encores. Neil Young, who accompanied Joni to the island, was set to make a guest appearance on Saturday night, but left quickly - he was reported to be upset by the festival's overall atmosphere." And if this ain't synchro, then maybe I don't truly understand the term: right below and to the right of the Joni pic, there's a small photo of Charles Mingus with caption "First Time in Britain." The blurb reads: "Mingus for Britain - Charles Mingus, one of the most controversial figures in jazz, stars at Ronnie Scott's Club in London for three weeks from November 9. "It will be his first time here, and he will be with his new quintet," Ronnie Scott told MM on Tuesday. "And opposite him I have booked a very good group I heard early last week, Mark-Almond." On the cover of Melody Maker, January 27, 1973 Large feature pic of Roberta Flack at piano. Caption reads: "Roberta Flack brought out the stars to witness her concert in London's Royal Albert Hall last Thursday. Maggie Bell (?), Leonard Cohen, Cave Clark and England soccer captain Bobby Moore were among the audience. Roberta's new single "Killing Me Softly With His Song" is released here this week - her long awaited follow-up to last year's "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" smash." These things are chock-full of lore and history really. Priceless stuff, if you're me (and you're not, so nevermind, I guess). I'll read on and maybe ther'll be more tidbits worth sharing. Thanks for not laughing out loud in the bad way. ;-) - -Julius ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2005 09:05:48 -0500 From: "David Henderson" Subject: gone but not forgotten And I add to that Bradley Nowell of Sublime.

Wow! That is truly amazing! To think they were in Britain at about the same time and in the same issue 8 or 9 years before they actually met. Very cool. > > On the cover of Melody Maker, January 27, 1973 > Large feature pic of Roberta Flack at piano.

I love to look through old publications like that. This one sounds especially juicy. Enjoy!
