Wow, thanks brg! I guess people really do read what I have to say.
The only thing I can say about "Crescent" to "help" you--is to sit in a quiet place--lights off, if you can, and listen, listen, listen. Play it from start to finish in one sitting, don't alter the sequence of the songs. Coltrane wrote them in this way to hear as a complete piece. After you've experienced it once--you can then play it whenever, however. It's always exciting though. Elvin's playing is so amazing. You won't believe how beautifully this group plays together--they are all so interconnected with one another on the highest musical spiritual plane. I really envy your position as being someone who gets to experience "Crescent" for the first time!!
Do you have Coltrane's "Transitions"? You'd probably like a lot of Pharoah Sanders too. Watch out--or you'll become a complete jazz freak like me and have over 600 jazz cds!!
If you're interested in learning more about jazz, I, and other jazz fans, post on a message board on Jazzcorner. We always are welcoming to newcomers adn you will find people who are very excited to help you and will love sharing your jazz experiences! I can e-mail you the link. |

Living here in Britain, I'm kind of out of touch with things...How are the Dodgers doing so far?

The year Love came out with their debut album and "Little Red Book," the Dodgers had three future Hall of Famers on their pitching staff - Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale and Don Sutton.

I read Michael Stuart's Book & was shocked about what he had to say about KEN FORSSI.I mean was the guy so out-of-it that much.
Even Arthur Lee comes across as a mean-guy.Getting banned from a Supermarket for a punch-up with a guy outside.
I am so pleased that at least Michael states that Ken told him the 'Hold-Up ' of the Grocery Store with a gun was poppy-cock.
Why do bands nowdays need to "beef-up" their image with huge doses of Alice Cooper style "shock-stories".
IF Arthur called the band "LOVE" he did so FOR A REASON.
Why can't the fans dig that????.

| I'm sure that's true. But I've also heard that one of the members of Big Brother & the Holding Co. was once quoted as saying he thought the band should've called themselves "Hate" instead of "Love", owing to their generally anti-social vibe. But you all have probably heard that a hundred times. I consider the deal about all that to probably be similar to John Lennon's, where he stated that most of his songs, especially the "preachy" ones, were actually written to himself. |

As I recall, there wasn't a lot of walking the walk back then. People donned these mantles of groovyness for show, quite a lot, and found little problem with having a schism between image and reality. That was true in lefty politics too. You'd find terrible misogyny among groups who ranted against oppression, for example.
This old interview with Snoopy that Fingaz posted is very telling:

Later on, people started to realize that the personal is political, too.
