David, did you see that Tom Waits is guest-editing the 200th issue of Mojo? [link]
Cool beans. Expect something on Alan Lomax's field recordings.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Anyone here read Goodall, "Living in the Rock N Roll Mystery"?
While it's not really the direction I want to read about, it's still the only "real"/"proper" ethnography I heard of that's related to rock music.
(I'd post in Literary, but I thought that if anyone read it, they're probably reading this thread)

Shir, have you heard Lanegan's two albums with Isobel Campbell? I love those.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I heard some of the songs in them, yes, but I mostly cling to his solo work.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So my iPod randomly selected Alice Cooper's "School's Out". How appropriate, because when was in school, the last day would be around now.
Didn't Alice Cooper do this song with the Muppets?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
When the bell rang for my last day of high school they BLASTED "School's Out" over the PA system.
It was exciting, and we reacted like crazed teeangers hopped up on adrenaline. That's right, the contents of binders were rudely strewn about.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
According to the Muppet Wiki:
he performed three of his hits: "Welcome to My Nightmare," "You and Me," and "School's Out."
