There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Isn't there a 3rd Marsalis brother who plays trombone? (Or did I just make him up?)

Delfeayo (third brother) plays trombone and Jason, the baby, plays drums.
Seriously talented family.

I'm sure someone calls him Zeppo. Probably Branford. :-P
And SCORE on Frida!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Looks like Bowie's Live in Santa Monica '72 album (his first tour in the States in Ziggy mode) is receiving an official release.

Sex Pistols frontman branded bigot over attack on singer
London
July 22, 2008 - 9:58PM
Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon has been branded a bigot after his entourage allegedly attacked Bloc Party singer Kele Okereke at a music festival in Spain.
Okereke and witnesses, including members of Kaiser Chiefs and Foals, claim the beating was so severe it left the singer with a bruised face and cuts to his face and body, Britain's Independent newspaper reports.
Security staff broke up the fight at a Barcelona festival on Saturday after the Kaiser Chiefs and Foals members intervened, the report said.
Okereke, a fan of Lydon since he was young, said he went over to speak to the Sex Pistols vocalist formerly known as Johnny Rotten.
But Lydon quickly became "intimidating and aggressive," according to a statement released by Okereke yesterday.
Lydon's entourage responded with a tirade of racist abuse including the statement: "Your problem is your black attitude".
Okereke was then allegedly set upon by three members of Lydon's crew who reportedly punched and kicked him before starting on the Kaiser Chiefs frontman, Ricky Wilson, and Yannis Philippakis, from Foals, when they tried to mediate, The Independent reported.
Okereke, whose parents emigrated from Nigeria to Liverpool in the 1970s, criticised Lydon for failing to halt what he believed was a racist attack.
"It's not an issue of the physical assault, even though it was an unprovoked attack," The Independent quoted him as saying.
"It is the fact that race was brought into the matter so readily. Someone as respected and as intelligent as Lydon should know better than to bring race into the equation, or socialise with and encourage those who hold such narrow-minded attitudes."

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Foals frontman Philippakis said members of his band were handcuffed by police after the fracas and nearly missed a UK gig the next day.
Speaking to fans at the Latitude Festival in Suffolk on Sunday, he said: "We were in Spain yesterday and I got into a fight with Johnny Rotten. I don't know why I'm telling you all this, but I was handcuffed and we nearly didn't make it."
He went on to dedicate the next song to "Johnny Rotten and his meathead friends".
The Kaiser Chiefs were not willing to comment publicly on the attack yesterday, but sources close to the band told The Independent that Wilson and his bandmates had witnessed the alleged assault and tried to stop it.
"Ricky and the others saw what was going on and stepped in to help them," the source said.
"I don't think they'll be saying anything publicly though because of the racism element which makes it a difficult situation."
Bloc Party informed police in Barcelona of the attack and have given a statement to British police, the news report said.
Lydon last night dismissed the other bands at the festival in Barcelona as "jealous fools", adding that "lies and confusion usually follow," the newspaper reported.
He also had some sharp words for Okereke.
"Grow up and learn to be a true man. When you have achieved as much as I have, come back and talk to me," Lydon said.

What a fucktard. There goes the last remaining remnants of respect I had for that man.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Juliebird, if you're looking for True New Orleans, you have to include some Irma Thomas. She's a soul singer, but if you squint hard enough she might pass for bluesy.
If you want a lesser known example of the '50s New Orleans rock 'n' roll style, Benny Spellman's "Lipstick Traces" is incomparable.
