sometimes music just does something to you... (1 Viewer)

Yeah that's how I learned too. I'd put on the music, put my head phones on and start banging on those drums.
When I was working in their studio Prairie would let me play his drums.He always had one of his sets set-up. He always has great sounding drums.

this is his page, go to ART, then CUSTOM DRUMS.

Okay I'll stop now. And go back to the thread at hand.

.... and so this is one of the many reason why The Tubes moved me so.
Changed my life really.:)
 
I was a big fan of the Tubes in Boston, I believe I saw their first show in my area which was at the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge Mass. around 74, 75? It wasn't a place that usually had music but an actual theatre.

Great show.
 
with music, the first time is a beautiful thing.

Ayup, The Clash ares still an incredible band today. Their music is maybe even more relevant than it ever was

p.s. Dylan fans..........you realise that Hurricane Carter killed those 3 people, don't you? I wonder how Bob feels about the subject today
 
Bob Dylan, 60's idealist. I along with thousands of others believe he got it 100% wrong when he chose to write a song about poor Hurricane and the injustice he endured

1) Did you watch the movie of a few years ago? If so, here's some truths regarding the blatant untruths in the movie, together with some major liberties that were taken with the song. If you're gonna write about a subject as serious as this at least he could have written lyrics that reflected the facts?

Here's a bit of further reading on Ruben Carter

2) This is not about you or the music. My post was about about how Bob Dylan feels about Hurricane Carter's innocence in retrospect. I've never seen Dylan comment on the case but would love to know what he thinks about it, today
 
Anything recorded before an artist died, but subsequently released posthumusly (too late to spell that correctly, methinks) knocks me out.

A personal example is Dave Carter's last album Seven Is The Number. Released 4 years after he died and 6 after his previously last recorded album... It is eerie. Also listening to his older albums and realizing just how in touch with his own mortality he was... he's a remarkable songwriter who writes as well as Dylan, but in a bit of a more... esoteric and spiritual way. Also a bit more country (folksy country, not twang and incest country).

Unplugged in New York (Nirvana), Regretfully Yours (Superdrag), Abbey Road (Do I Need To?), This Is A Long Drive... (Modest Mouse), and Breakfast in America (Supertramp) are also great for zoning me out. And typically depressing the shit out of me... Same thing, right?
 
Ah shit, I forgot all about this thread. Strangegirl, I also just remembered that I completely forgot to tell Prarie, Fee, Roger & Rick that you said hello when I met them at that show we wrote about so long ago now. Actually, after I got out to the van after the show, I reached in my pocket to get something (?) and found the piece of paper I'd written about it on. Shit! I said. What cool cats they were. Prarie Prince is a very unusual person. You surely know this but, it was very, very difficult to differentiate when he was being serious and when he was jokingly bullshitting you. I think most of it was bullshit, except for the part about he and Cotton's company did the HUGE murals in the casino that was on the wall right above us. Or did I get hoodwinked on that one too?
