can't keep up with everything in this here music section, but
let's just say that it rocks! Yeah, yeah, I guess I should
tell you something useful beyond that. Um, let's see...here's
an interview with Dr. John, remember him? Right place, wrong time?
He's awesome. And here's another interview with Bill Frisell,
jazz man extraordinaire. The interviews/profiles also extend to
bands with weird names, like the Bottle Rockets, and Everclear.
They'd be an explosive combination if they ever played together,
har har. But what's really cool is this story called Fractured
Fairy Tales. No, sorry, it has nothing to do with The Rocky
& Bullwinkle Show. It's about a summer camp of songwriters
who meet at a classy French castle every year to brainstorm and
record music. These aren't just any songwriters; most of them
are celebrity songwriters, like Peter Murphy or Stewart
Copeland or two of the Go Go's. Groovy. Also groovy is this book
expert detailing the history of punk and grunge. Dang, I didn't
know anybody actually studied this stuff, but apparently the author,
Gina Arnold, takes her grunge very seriously. Finally, we should
all go into the woods and bow our heads for a few weeks of silence
in honor of John Denver. Failing that, at least read this eulogy
to the sweet songwriter who loved nature and sang songs with Kermit
the Frog. He was the best. See ya.
