That's a big momma :) Good dance tune-she really has that crowd Larry Levan is experiencing a rennaissance these days--I also have been listening to Arthur Russell recently

Catchy - they should re-release it right before the Olympics...the instrumental break reminds me of the police

No problemo, Chuck... :)

The most interesting thing to me about the Monkees are the songwriters and musicians who wrote for them - Nesmith came in to his own afterwards: curious as to what his best albums are? Kirshner had the good taste to use some of the best pop songwriters of the period, including Neil Diamond, Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, Gerry Goffin and Carole King, Harry Nilsson, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, as well as using top Los Angeles session musicians on the records.

Well, it depends on what your definition of "playing" is My definition would be playing on the same bill (stage), but not at the same time - that would have been hilarious

Actually, they did Following the festival, the Experience played a short-lived gig as the opening act for pop group The Monkees on their first American tour. The Monkees asked for Hendrix because they were fans, but their mostly teenage audience did not warm to his outlandish stage act and he abruptly quit the tour after a few dates. Chas Chandler later admitted that being "thrown" from The Monkees tour was engineered to gain maximum media impact and publicity for Hendrix. At the time, a story circulated claiming that Hendrix was removed from the tour because of complaints made by the Daughters of the American Revolution that his stage conduct was "lewd and indecent". Australian journalist Lillian Roxon, accompanying the tour, concocted the story. The claim was repeated in Roxon's 1969 Rock Encyclopedia but she later admitted it was fabricated.

Scanners is good too... :)

Michael Nesmith. The original question seemed to suggest the the mystery person was English...he played on a stage with the Monkees a year before this. The last stage he was on was with Eric Burdon and War. I havent found the press conference info--where is the source

Funky 16 Corners has written a terrific article on James Brown's career and you can check it out HERE

I do, too...except when it spins

The National's 'Alligator' was one of the best albums released in 2005...and a new album is in the works to be released by Beggars Banquet this spring. This band is highly underrated and if you haven't listened to them before, check out their page at Myspace or watch this live video of the band recording a new song. Enjoy.

If only Slum could be there--she would definitely be proud

According to Wikipedia, Hendrix played in a Motown band named, Bobby Taylor & the Vancouvers with Taylor and then aspiring musician Tommy Chong (of Cheech and Chong fame) around 1965... It's hard to tell by the picture...but how about Eric Burdon, he's acted in films?

8 hours and 15 min. now You must be really thirsty

I think you left out the original question in the new edit :)

I will have to make some calls

Wilco- Muzzle of Bees *** The National - Secret Meeting

DALLAS (AP) -- AT&T Inc. completed its $86 billion buyout of BellSouth Corp., the largest telecommunications takeover in U.S. history, shortly after the Federal Communications Commission unanimously approved the deal on Friday. The FCC action came one day after the company offered new concessions for consumers and competitors. Lawyers for AT&T and the two Democratic commissioners who had opposed the merger hammered out a compromise, the details of which were released Thursday night. Read more

Your psychologial and emotional state rewards music over movies in the long run, but in the short run, any entertainment will do :)

we can still have the community; but a couple hundred grand and a wiki would be nice :)

I dont believe in capital punishment, not that anyone will miss the guy anyway... Now the oddest thing happened this evening..I went to see a movie (Factory Girl with Sienna Miller playing Edie Sedgwick alongside Guy Pearce playing Andy Warhol and Hayden Christensen as Bob Dylan--interesting cinematagraphy/the film takes a look at Andy Warhols factory) and then went to a Deli nearby...I looked up and saw this guy and turned to my partner and said who does that look like? She said it was the spitting image of Saddam Hussein... so maybe he's still alive after all?

It's there...now :) Slum, the thread was started to alert people so they could ADD to the list...

Rank??!! And just where did you think I was?

I like his mantra, but I think hes full of shit
