Speaking of Linda Ronstadt . . . . .

 

The Eagles, who formed in 1971 after playing together as Linda Ronstadt’s backup band: 

Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, Randy Meisner, Glenn Frey

Big Walter Horton - Top Hat Crew's "Live Music Archives"

 Well that all went swimmingly well, brilliant friendly staff and despite the weird affects (you do tend to think your hands are on fire and that you have pee’d yourself (CT scan!) everyone was very thorough and friendly to boot!


This is how it all went!

Gary Lucas on playing guitar or Beefheart, Lou Reed and Jeff Buckley - Guitar Magazine


“He threw an ashtray against the wall and said, ‘That’s the drum solo, man!’” Gary Lucas on Captain Beefheart’s paranoia, Lou Reed’s hypocrisy, Jeff Buckley’s genius and Bruce Springsteen’s generosity

James Joyce - Ulysses: Molly Bloom's Soliloquy, The Last 50 Lines

 Gary (Lucas that is!) posted some interesting things in the last 24 hours including a SudioCanal version of Molly Blooms soliloquy from Joyce’s Ulysess for Blooms day ( yesterday ) It doesn't play here in the UK so here’ the last 50 lines from her speech

 from Angeline Ball’s reading of it from The film ‘Bloom'

James Joyce - Ulysses: Molly Bloom's Soliloquy, The Last 50 Lines

Angeline Ball in her IFTA Award winning role as Molly Bloom from the film Bloom. Official site of the film is www.ulysses.ie 

Joycean scholar David Norris said that she "is quite the best of all the myriad of Molly Blooms that I have seen." While Charles Byrne of the Royal Television Society declared that, "This Molly Bloom would even make Sharon Stone blush. Angeline Ball was born to play the role. She is voluptuous and earthy and, in short, she is every living man's fantasy."

Townes van Zandt - Snowin' on Raton

 Much has been written about Townes Van Zandt’s songwriting and his addiction to alcohol and that by the time he wrote this heart wrenching song (1985) it was apparent the level of his addiction was always going to be a problem [he died ten years later at a mere 52] and clearly he was singing about facing forces inherent in life’s darker journey but it stands as an extraordinary document of an alcoholic facing his mortality perhaps IMO. As the text below notes it stands as one of the greatest songs ever written

Townes van Zandt - Snowin' on Raton

"TOWNES VAN ZANDT WROTE "SNOWIN' ON RATON" LIKE A MAN WHO ALREADY KNEW HE COULD NOT BE SAVED.

There is no drama in the song. No angry confrontation with fate. No desperate plea for redemption. Only the quiet image of a weary traveler watching snow drift across Raton Pass from the window of a moving train.

By the time Townes wrote "Snowin' on Raton," years of wandering, addiction, loneliness, and hard living had already shaped the man behind the music. Yet the song carries an unexpected stillness that sets it apart from many of his most heartbreaking compositions.

"You cannot turn the circles of the sun."

It's one of the most unforgettable lines Townes ever wrote. But understanding why it resonates so deeply requires looking beyond the lyrics themselves—and into the life of a songwriter who spent much of his existence searching for something he could never quite hold onto."
