| Movie/film suggestions. For Gene Hackman fans: The Conversation Enemy of the State Bonnie and Clyde French Connection Royal Tenenbaums The Quick and the Dead (underrated Western) | |
| Spiritual/soul jazz from early 70s and later. Jazz doesn't get more spiritual than "Eyes of the Heart" by Keith Jarrett and his American Quartet with Dewey Redman, Paul Motian and Charlie Haden. Turn out the lights and fire it up. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. If you want a movie that's visually stunning check out "Days of Heaven" directed by Terence Malick and shot by Nestor Almendros, who won the Oscar for cinematography. It stars Richard Gere in one of his earliest film roles, Brooke Adams, Sam Shepa... | |
| A great has died First time I saw Garth was when the Band was still the Hawks and backing Bob Dylan in Hartford 1965. I had no idea who they were. Saw them again in New Haven 1966. Unfortunately, the stars never aligned for me to see the Band itself. | |
| Collectibles signed by musicians. What do you have? Never been an autograph or memorabilia collector, but I do still have my right hand which shook Bob Dylan's at the old New Haven Arena in 1966 when I was 17yrs old. My buddy and I went up to the side of the stage as the first set was ending and Bo... | |
| Favorite scream in rock? Bob Weir - Not Fade Away; Estimated Prophet; St. Stephen Janis Joplin - Piece of My Heart; Ball & Chain Another vote for Merry Clayton | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @stuartk Yep, that's the one! | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @bdp24 Speaking of Mike Bloomfield (one of my first guitar heros in my early teens), below is a link to a fascinating story that he wrote himself (with illustrations by R. Crumb!) about his experiences with Big Joe Williams in Chicago. It's a gr... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @tyray It sound like to me you’re just guessing? And you have no clue? I wondering where you live and what live venues you go to see Jazz? Jazz (and blues) is the one music that is our own. It is played all over the US and the world. I don’t car... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @tyray That's good stuff and I intend to check out more of it, but....it doesn't really disprove what I said about the listening habits of young people in general. If I wanted to take the time, I'm quite sure I could find videos from dozens of j... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato And: Do conglomerates churn out torrents of garbage purely out of the evilness of their cold hearts, or are they merely rational economic actors who produce what the buying public demands? This certainly raises the question of whether there are... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @bdp24 The last time I saw Iris was in late '23 at the Kate Hepburn Theater in CT (tiny place seats a few hundred or so) and she was accompanied by Liz Draper on bass and Myra Burnette on guitar, two youngish musicians from Minnesota. I've seen ... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @immatthewj Oops, sorry about mixing up who I was responding to! As far as not hearing much Dylan in the latter half of the 60s and early 70s, that was likely due to the fact that he got married, had kids and took a hiatus from touring starting... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @immatthewj How much effort have you put into exploring contemporary songwriters? I would confess not all that much. But in a way that makes my point. During the 60s and 70s you didn't have to search high and low or put a great deal of effor... |
