Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Too little soul in this tower right now..... In: Al Green - Love and Happiness Out: Bratmobile Al Green - Love and Happiness Django Reinhardt - Japanese Sandman Joni Mitchell - Amelia The Beatles - Paperback Writer Tom Waits - Hang Down Your Head David Bowie - Starman Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit ...

Yes, Buddy Miller is a big fan of theirs too. Johnnie Wright is married to Kitty Wells and they live here in Nashville. And Jack Anglin died in a car accident on his way to Patsy Cline's funeral.

You'd dig 'em, El Vez.

I feel like all these people that are bragging about losing weight now are going to have serious kidney problems down the line. My mother started writing down everything she ate, and lost 8 pounds in a couple of months. And it's not like she's overweight, either; she's probably a size 6. I started ...

I'd say it's the "son of a bitch who named his son Sue."

I've never heard of it, El Vez. Is it a Tennessee station? Is it online? I'm always looking for cool stuff to listen to...I listen to a lot of AM radio these days. If you like oldies, on a good night you can pick up 1530AM out of Cincinnati (can't remember the call letters). Also a great old school ...

One of the best radio shows I've ever heard happens right here in Nashville every Saturday from 6 am to 10 am (central time). It's the Eddie Stubbs Classic Country Show. I believe you can listen online at http://www.wsmonline.com. Floyd Cramer, Bill Monroe, Buck Owens, Johnnie and Jack, Hank William...

Same deal with Alejandro Escovedo, who is battling hepatitis C (I think that's the right one). No insurance and huge medical bills. It's very sad.

I think Tony Thompson was also in the Power Station with the recently-deceased Robert Palmer. That would leave only the two Duran Duran guys left from that band.

Brooks and Dunn were not very good at the memorial. They were boring! I was not impressed at all, but then again, they were there because they were friends with Johnny.

Yes, BC.....the lineup was kind of a touchy subject. It was picked by the family members. And they did extend invitations to Bono, Springsteen, and Dylan. The performers who were there all had relationships with Johnny (except maybe Kid Rock). Mellencamp inducted JC into the Rock Hall of Fame, for e...

And there was a rumoured "surprise guest" that was supposed to be there. Speculation was Dylan, Keith Richards, Pearl Jam, Springsteen, or Dave Matthews. But it was just a rumour.

I saw John Prine again last week. I was walking out to my car after work and I recognized his black Caddy in the parking lot. I looked up at the Oh Boy Records office and he was walking out the door. I slowed my walk, looked up and said "How's it goin'?" He said "Pretty good...pretty ...

It was a very nice service. Done with a lot of class. The standout performances included John Mellencamp doing a knockout "Hey Porter", Dave Matthews and Emmylou Harris via videotape doing "Long Black Veil", Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, George Jones, and Hank Williams Jr. d...

Thanks El Vez.....best compliment I've ever had. Now if I could only write songs as wonderfully as he does......

Bartok's String Quartets by the Emerson String Quartet are wonderful.
Early Horowitz piano sonatas are great.
I dig pretty much anything Bernstein did.
And for guitar mastery, pick up some early Andres Segovia.

The Johnny Cash memorial service November 10 at the Ryman. Not really a concert, but there will be performances by John Mellencamp, Kris Kristofferson, Steve Earle, Rosanne Cash, George Jones, Dwight Yoakam, Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, and others. It's being hosted by Tim Robbins.

Blue Chair, I was in your exact predicament a couple of years ago. "The Record Shelf Guide to Classical CD's and Audiocassettes" by Jim Svedja and "The NPR Guide to Building a Classical CD Collection" are both wonderful guides. The NPR book does a great job all-around and even ha...

Wishing ill will on people (yes, Rush is a person too) is unhealthy.
