Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

"SLICING UP EYEBALLS, WHOA OH OH OH!"
A quick google reveals that the part of the song that I have never had any clue what he was saying is actually "I am un chien Andalusia."
I had heard about the film - Bowie used it during concerts I think - but didn't know the name.

"The Dick Cavett Show: Rock Icons" is out on DVD.
In July 1970, for instance, "The Dick Cavett Show" featured a chat session with Sly and the Family Stone, Debbie Reynolds and tennis great Pancho Gonzales. Equally weird, a month earlier, was the joint appearance of Janis Joplin, Raquel Welch, news anchor Chet Huntley and the terminally suave Douglas Fairbanks Jr. The elderly Huntley was visibly sweet on Welch, and -- while taking hits from a long cigarette holder -- Joplin lectured Welch about underground cartoonist R. Crumb.

I saw that the other day. It doesn't have the famous Hendrix appearance on it, though.

Wherever I read about the DVDs it said that the John & Yoko interviews are coming out as a separate release; I assume Hendrix will, too. Does it have the Little Richard "HE GOT WHAT HE WANTED BUT HE LOST WHAT HE HAD!! SHUT UP!! SHUT UP!!" segment? That's the important question.

There's a Third Eye Blind song that mentions George Seurat's work, but I can't remember the name of it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Elvis Costello's Watching the Detectives is a meditation on Film Noir, but it doesn't name a specific film. Great song, though.

Oh, and there's the whole Alice album from Tom Waits, done in and around Alice in Wonderland.
It has one of the saddest songs EVER on it: Fish and Bird.

I am watching David Crosby, Joni Mitchell, Stephen Stills and Grace Slick on the DC Show on VH-1 right now. (This interview was taped less than a day after Woodstock.) There was just a moment of tension when Slick kept calling Dick "Jim" so he called her "Ms. Joplin."
