Great post! I have only two comments.

1. I wonder if a person really "chooses" to become a musician. It seems to me the occupation "chooses" the person.

2. "From the land of sky blue waters - Hamm's the beer refreshing, Hamm's the beer refreshing" ........ remember that?

2012-05-03T14:50:32.536-04:00

Interesting post. I'm somewhat of a Keith Moon fanatic, and have been since around 1976 when I was in Jr. High School and picked up 2 magazines commemorating the Who--one by Rolling Stone and the other by Circus. Just looking at the pictures made me an instant fan and I immediately made it my goal to acquire as many Who albums as possible. A daunting task for a 13 year old with no money (I had stolen the money to buy the magazines).

You've made me want to read Wood's essay, but unfortunately it seems that w/o a New Yorker subscription it will be impossible. Still, I will put my web-savvy to use and try to find some means anyway.

One thing about the "I Can See For Miles" clips. Of all the clips I've watched from TV shows with lip-sync'd/mimed performances, those are the only 2 I can remember where Keith even half attempts to look like he's playing the song. In fact even on the first clip, it appears that he doesn't have a bass drum pedal.

Sorry -- the song sounds phony to me. I don't believe it for a minute. (By the way, my father drove trucks for 30 years, and I loaded, unloaded, and drove trucks in the summers to help pay for college and law school, so I feel qualified to comment.)

What an ass you are. This coming from an This coming from an attorney of all people! LOL. You try writing a song like Willin'. Dope.

"It's one of those songs about the travails of a working-class guy (here, a truck driver) that always sounds as phony as a three-dollar bill when it comes from a long-haired, drug-ingesting L.A. musician who probably never did an honest day's work in his life."

Gosh this girl is very amazing. She rocks her song tik-tok very hard. Hard enough to make my friends rock even harder. Nice blog by the way.

2012-04-22T14:22:20.219-04:00

I don't understand why you go on to trash Coil because of your disdain for your boss.

"Of course, one might ask how truly noble it was for a band no one has ever heard of to donate the profits from a record that nobody bought to a good cause?"

Does the amount of fame one has (or seeks) from a charitable act a real factor in their nobility? Also the parts about the Museum of Bad Art is irrelevant.

I was never a Coil fan but their contribution to music shouldn't be belittled because of your work/personal issues and while you may not have heard of them, their influence still carries weight within the world in the music world by way of bands/artists that cite them as an influence.

Any way, I agree that your boss has some irrational dislike for the music, though I wonder how much of it is really about your relationship with each other and not Soft Cell. Hopefully you can move on to bigger and better things rather than festering in a stew of mutual disdain.

2012-04-14T05:37:32.155-04:00

The most featured outside musician on all Beatles records is George Martin. And also the first and most credited individual. So how do you classify his input, and also,...how did you miss even mentioning him?

And as a comparison to "What's a Beatle song".
John Fogerty virtually wrote all of Creedence's hits. So are his solo records Creedence albums?
;D It's all relative to the situation and the legal agreement.

Thanks for the comment. I am somewhat familiar with the Thompsons music -- but they are only one of the many worthy performers that I haven't got around to blogging about yet. How would you like to write a guest post about that or another Thompson/Thompsons song? If so, please e-mail me at missouri2725@gmail.com.

I stumbled upon your blog yesterday while googling lyrics for Brian Eno's "The Great Pretender". What fun; lots of fascinating information, and it's already encouraged me to listen to a number of songs I might not have otherwise. Given your broad range, I'm somewhat surprised you've never touched upon any by Richard Thompson, a rather profound songwriter, at least in my humble opinion. If you haven't before, or haven't for a while, give his (and Linda's) 1974 "I Want To See the Bright Lights Tonight" a listen. And thanks for all the cool content!

In December, 2011, two months before he murdered three students in a shooting at an Ohio high school, T.J. Lane wrote in the midst of a long, enigmatic and in hindsight, ominous, Facebook post: "I'm on the lamb but I ain't no sheep." Coincidence or the nexus of the crisis?
