El Vez, I took to be much older. You watched SCTV reruns on Nick at Nite?If memory serves me right, SCTV was on Friday nights after Tom Snyder in the early 80s I think, and ran for about an hour and a half. The thing is that the show was so casually produced that sometimes it ran for one hour. You n...

Bob and Charlotte: In previous posts you have prompted us to consider: Dylan's top ten records; how Dylan ranks versus the Stones (or was it the Beatles?); which Bob Dylan song we are; and (this one for some reason was my favorite) which is Dylan's saddest song ever. That's all I remember. I may hav...

I think the highlighted language in Blue Chair's original post is creating some confusion here. The New York Times did not say that the reason for Disney not distributing the movie was the possible loss of tax breaks in Florida. That is an assertion made by Moore and by his agent, and has been denie...

Here's a suggestion: try the Empire Hotel, 44 West 63d. It is right across from Lincoln Center and is an old-style New York hotel. You are steps away from the shows, as well as two blocks away from the Park. You also are in the West Side which is the more fun side of uptown Manhattan, but can walk t...

Ok Laughing Crow, at your urging I have relocated to the Annex and your RT thread. Thanks for the info on the RT book. I will check it out. I saw RT last Friday in Ridgefield, Ct. where he did his solo show before a sold out crowd in a small, intimate club. I had not seen him since the late 80s when...

Ah the 80s!! Days of my youth. Here are some favorites, purely subjective, with no claim to greatness on the part of the artists or the work. In order of preference (with the exception of RT, it's all about jangly guitars and a poppy good time): Marshall Cranshaw: First record EC: IB Steve Earle: Gu...

My take on Elvis' political commentary in Chicago and the reaction of the poster who signed off is that Elvis certainly has the right to rant against whatever he wants, and he can be as vicious as he wishes, although I would prefer that an obviously intelligent artist such as he would choose to make...

I think it's great you're doing this. As a freshman in high school way back in 72 my teacher did the same using Paul Simon and the Beatles as models and it made poetry somehow cooler. One thing I suggest is that you combine the words with the music, just to let the kids know that the full effect of ...
