Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan  

Closed Threads

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.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

I have The Confidence Man, which I've never read, next up on my plate.

Let me know when you start. I also have it & have never read it. My guess is that it's in storage. Friggin' NY apartments! Bought this (used) recently, mostly for the cover. (Make sure you can see the bottom half.) Hmmm, any music connection to this... well, Bob Z loved Dylan T enough to adopt the name. And in "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream" he's a sailor and there's a Captain Arab (rhymes with Ahab). And that gives me the opportunity to throw out one of my favorite lyrics: "They asked me for some collateral and I pulled down my pants." Bwah! And a bonus: "God said, 'You can do what you want, Abe... but the next time you see me comin' you better run.'"

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Ah, yeah. I read that one (and Adventures In The Skin Trade) as an undergrad. In fact, I wrote a paper arguing that Thomas was a greater prose stylist than poet. If I recall correctly, my professor gave me an A. And here I am, bragging about it on the Internet a mere 14 years later! People say you can't do anything with a liberal arts educations, but to them I say, "nyah."

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Joe, I got your email, but wanted to catch you here as well. Thank you for putting those songs up.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'm having a brain freeze: A free jazz legend -- plays piano. Not sure if he's still alive. I saw him at the Western Front in Cambridge 15-20 years ago. Name????

Piano? You probably mean that guy with the dreads who likes to hammer the block chords with his forearms, right? Cecil Taylor.

Ayler was more known for horn and died in 1970. My mystery man was a piano guy and was still alive in the mid-80s.
