It was very confusing when I look at what I'd written, however, since the year was 1971 and the Wall wouldn't actually come out for another eight years. In fact, it baffled the hell out of everyone when I continued to write out the lyrics to Meddle, Obscured By Clouds, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and Animals (all of which had yet to be released) in rapid succession. (Some of us old geezers like Ross, Mike, and myself were actually quite ahead of our times, not to mention Roger Waters' times.) I apparently got bored with Pink Floyd after the Wall, however, and have been writing out the lyrics to future Wild Man Fischer albums ever since.

You could be talking about Jimi Hendrix or Burt Bacharach. What would "Pet Sounds", "Village Green", and "Rubber Soul" be more specifically called? Fairport's "What We Did On Our Holidays" is a 60's album - and a great one, but it's leaning heavily in the English Folk direction. Their first one is much more "pop", sort of an English take on the Byrds. Of course weren't the Byrds called an American take on the Beatles? I'm getting dizzy...

When we got home, out Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt! GC: Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at three o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel, go to work at the mill every day for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were LUCKY! TG: Well we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of the shoebox at twelve o'clock at night, and LICK the road clean with our tongues. We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at the mill for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, our Dad would slice us in two with a bread knife.

My point was that you are apparantly judging somebody's music by who attends their concerts, not by the music. I would bet that many of your favorite artists have a similarly stereotypical audience. I'm sure we could come up with a profile for a typical RH fan just as accurate as that of a "Phish head" or a "Smiths head"*.

I'll second that recommendation and Chadalie's Stevie Wonder, too. I was not blown away by Odgen's Nut Gone Flake, but Magic Moments is good. This could be a compilation; I don't know. If you're looking for Small Faces you should first seek out something that's got Itchykoo Park on it. You said you didn't want R&B influence Michael, but I just can't help but recommend Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. It's true pop, though. He just kept at that style in the face of all that '60s psychedelia, short hair and all. I saw him at a county fair in upstate NY a few years ago, still belting them out for maybe 50 people, half of whom didn't know him. Sad. Sadder even than when I saw Bo Diddley play for a good dozen people at Montreal's Belmont (amusement) Park (Hi Randi!). Terry might suggest the Monkees if he thought he wouldn't get jumped on for it. Not a bad idea. They're lightweight, but good fun. And I'll have to confess a weakness for Tommy James and the Shondells. Just as light, just as much fun. You might like the Moody Blues before they discovered the mellotron. They started out much more pop than prog. Cass Elliot was a goddess.

Seems as though Mr. Waters might just have a home in an exclusive neighborhood about an hour south of me down here in Florida...somewhere in the Vero Beach vicinity. I recently saw an article cut from the local paper and hanging in a coffeeshop...seems a reporter decided to follow up on the rumor, worked their way through Vero for a day, and was finally vehemently denied access from the neighborhood's old 60+ security guard. "Roger Waters DOES NOT live here!" The reporter thought it odd that someone of that age would instantly know who Roger Waters was. Then again, maybe a lot of people have interrupted his naps with the same rumor. Hmm.

I'm almost ashamed to admit that I've rediscovered the hazy slow joy of laser shows. Our nearby planetarium's been doing marathon Floyd, Doors, and Zep shows here lately. Sadly enough, they're all the rage with the high school crowds...even after 20 years. Also amazingly pathetic, I might just take in a Beatles laser show tonight with my step-daughter's boyfriend. Guys night out, I guess. Robyn laser ditties? For the stoner spinning starfield sorta shows: Raining Twilight Coast The Pit Of Souls If You Go Away For the stoner animated animals bouncing around sorta shows: Everything else. Mike p.s. the laser show operator guy here at the college has the most droll British accent...he might just go for the Robyn thing! ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V8 #95 ******************************
