Message: ztevie- I think it's actually John Densmore who's suing the other two guys in the Doors. In my opinion, as much as I love the surviving members of the Doors, continuing it is a mistake. When you think of the Doors, the first thing you think of is Jim. That's before the songs or anything or anybody else. Putiing in Ian Astbury makes it worse. It might ruin his reputation rather than helping him or re-energize The Cult.
LEAVE THE DOORS ALONE! ROBBIE AND RAY, PLEASE LEAVE IT ALONE.

wormy, molly also referred to that album ("alegria") as like audio crack. might as well... have all the rest of wayne's and nearly everything he's even played on. random shorter solo of the day: "end of the innocence" by don henley. a melodic solo masterpiece. i've transcribed every note of it. brilliant !
yes the doors thing is way not flattering to all parties. jim would say "whatever, let the guys make a few bucks". hell, stewart copeland is suing them. WAY not flattering...
i beg to differ over the dynamic range of of an accordian or it's close relative, the bandoneon. varying air pressure creates a huge and subtlely controlled expressive capability. have never played one but have listened to enough astor piazzolla to be declared a honorary gypsy...

Hey Pink!
tones, if you're still interested in that illicit compilation, e me.
Before there was anagram software, there were Dan-a-grams from the fevered brain of Norvis Pidner: http://home.earthlink.net/~oleander1/danagrams.htm
So here's an itch I think I got scratched: Know that line in "Almost Gothic"--"It's called love--I spell L-U-V"? It's been bugging me since day one. Sounded too familiar. So I found a copy of the Shangri-Las' greatest hits, and in "Give Him A Great Big Kiss," of course, we have "When I say I'm in love, you best believe I'm in love L-U-V." (A few of you moldy figs may remember this song. It's a lot of song packed into 2:10, with some other immortal lines, like "'Well, what color are his eyes?' 'I don't know, he's always wearin' shades'" and "'Is he a good dancer?' 'Waddaya mean is he a good dancer?' 'Well, how does he dance?' 'Close... very, very close....'") Coincidence? You decide. I've always had a soft spot for this tough trio.
Wistfully watching the ticket scramble.... I'm in for DC and hoping desperately for some Southern dates.

Message: St. Al:
An accordion is blown.
A wurlitzer is plucked.
A calliope is struck.
It could be, Dr. Becker would think that the accordian - like its distant cousin, the pipe organ - doesn't like the sound of air through pipes or plastic for that matter.
There is no musical dynamics from either instrument in terms of inflection, touch, crescendo, etc. in that the tones and the volume thereof are merely played based on air going through a chamber.
The basic sound is merely flat, and any increase in volume/sound would be an increase in wind or a layering of sounds.
A wurlitzer has natural dynamics built in to the keyboard, and the sound responds directly to the touch.
Similarly, the calliope, but in a mallet/percussion kind of way......
So one could say that "Walter doesn't like Wind in his Rock and Roll".

I must applaud the efforts of galliant men and women who sacrified their digestive systems by disarming these WMDs...Each of our Special Ops, who were in top shape, was able to consume at least two gallons each of Tin Roof Sundae or Rocky Road.

They're surrounded and waving a khaki flag, but NT freedom forces have to move very carefuly, because they're Tricksy!...I'm passing on the communique now as I hear it in my ear:
"Dear DanAudioCrackWhore,
Thank you for the very descriptive 'communication.' I have forwarded your request to our program director who makes all the music decisions for our station.

Our troops in the Northern front are excited and encouraged by this first crack in the armor of the enemy, Captain Rainey tells us... and I'm just receiving word from the North Texas front that there is wild sooting going on...no, looks like nothing dangerous...Captain Rainey tells us that our troops are just letting off a bit of steam firing into the air, and this is blending nicely into the background sporadic shootin' and whorin' that constantly go on the the Dallas area...

Message: Many people are inquiring about on sale dates for various shows this Summer. Patience and you will be rewarded. Here's the "official" word on this very subject.
SNIP~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The local promoters decide when to "list"
(start announcing) a show and when
tickets should go on sale. They also occasionally
CHANGE on-sale dates, and/or decide to run internet presales.
Almost always, the first to know about all these
dates and changes are the major online ticket vendors.
This is why steelydan.com's [Tix] links on the touring page sends you directly to them: .
Of course, all dates are subject to change at all times.
But if that ticket vendor's page does not yet
display the show you are interested in, it is very likely
that the promoter has simply not yet determined an exact on-sale date (for any number of mundane/practical reasons) or wants to time
the announcement to coordinate with advertising to make the most
impact (plus not occur during another major entertainment
announcement in that region).
You get the idea. BUT when that date is determined, the
show will be listed with the ticket vendor, along with information on when the tickets go on sale and any additional info you will need to order.
That being said, things can move pretty quickly on occasion: It may
be announced on a Monday that Tix will go on sale that wednesday, as
an example. Also, an on-sale date can CHANGE to an EARLIER date with
very little notice. That's why we say that for the serious
ticket-buyer, it is IMPERATIVE that you MONITOR the [Tix} links we
provide on our touring page http://steelydan.com/emgtouring.html

Fate
Deep in the man sits fast his fate
To mould his fortunes, mean or great:
Unknown to Cromwell as to me
Was Cromwell's measure or degree;
Unknown to him as to his horse,
If he than his groom be better or worse.
He works, plots, fights, in rude affairs,
With squires, lords, kings, his craft compares,
Till late he learned, through doubt and fear,
Broad England harbored not his peer:
Obeying time, the last to own
The Genius from its cloudy throne.
For the prevision is allied
Unto the thing so signified;
Or say, the foresight that awaits
Is the same Genius that creates.

This just in: singer Faith Hill found herself in the middle of controversy today when she released a statement saying that she is, "...ashamed that Clear Channel Inc. is based in Texas". The statement astonished members of the press, mostly because the singer herself was born in Missouri.

Message: t and other loyal viewers: à.This is DanAudioCrackWhore embedded with Major Mu and the Minor Seventh Division reporting from Southeast Texas. I cannot reveal our exact whereabouts, but our company is nearing the 50 mile radius outside Houstonà
As you can see from the video phone our unit is currently well camouflaged by a herd of dairy cows. I understand from Major Mu that we will be moving out very soon. Our unit is equipped with high steel guage Suburbans and X500 Ford pickups protecting a precious cargo of secret Bar-B-Q sauce û progress though has been extremely slow, due to our need to constantly refuel!
Also, on a positive note, I CAN confirm that the battle against Clear Channel [static] àlast night with our Special Op force penetrating San Antonio and launching ôbunker bustersö into a ChuyÆs restaurant near Corporate headquarters where the CEO, CFO, and VPs were, according to Intelligence, having a Bush twin Special.. We did have to ôMacGyverö our bunker busters using wine and kerosene in 7-11 Big Gulf cups. But this morning, we think we do have indirect evidence that the CEO or perhaps some VPs have been taken our or at least wrapped in duct tape during the quick hit mission. We have just learned that there has been a video released on Al Jazeera of the Ruling Mays family surrounded by cheering throngs of San Antonio nativesàHowever, close inspection fast revealed that this film was likely a Adobe Photoshop doctored job. Lowry Mays' head had pasted on a Phoenix Suns uniform and was a dead giveaway û my chief engineer tells me that instead this was really Stephan Marbury and the Phoenix Suns crowd celebrating the last minute upset of the San Antonio Spurs late last night.
Special Ops in the San Antonio area have revealed to us that they have found a pocket of New Zealanders working in the mail room who will defect...and provide crucial intelligence in our operation. Remember in 1996 after the Telecommuncations Act was designed by Al Gore, passed by Congress, and signed by Bill ClintonàClear ChannelÆs first Act was to immediately INVADE New Zealand and acquiring 33.3% interest in the largest radio group in New Zealandàand there are many from both the North and South island who have bitter memories of the times that followed. Major Mu just got a call from Neil Finn and the Frenz group who have designed some real high tech Clear Channel jamming devices. This is a huge step up from the full chemical suits and gas mask system first designed by Skunk Baxter in Nevada a few years ago.
WeÆve been hearing sporadic fire and whoops all morning. Now, we seem to be under attack by bottle rockets, rifles, six shooters. ItÆs all around us. A primary source seems to be that barn over there.... Corporal Charlie Freak û looks like heÆs taken a Caterpillar Steam Shovel and dropped a 3 ton bomb of Sun Mountain CDs on the barn!!! KABLOIEEE!!!! ThereÆs still some sporatic firing continuingà as it has all morning. We have our own MOAB just in case. Brigadeer General Blaise can be flown in from Canada on a SARS-tipped missleàHeÆs not from Toronto, but since all Canadians look alike to Texans, this should workà
[static] àst handed a report that indicates that the sporadic firing weÆve been hearing this morning has been confirmed as just the Locals celebrating the NFL draft Saturday and Sunday!!!
This just in! Major Mu has just established First Contact with a Clear Channel radio jock babe. She is intrigued by wackiness and sheÆs HOT!!!!!! A word of caution, these delicate operations in the Cold War era all too often involved loss of critical classified information while under the spell of Russian femme fatale spiesà
[static] like Geraldo has just arrived on the sceneàI think he just swam in from Kuwait!
[Geraldo] I want you all out thereàjust point that video phone..thatÆs rightàI want you all to meet my new pals: Dan AudioCrackWhore and Major Muà
Let me ask you DanAudioCrackWhoreàcan I call you æWhore?àgreat. Why the operation? First, where did you get the name DanAudioCrackWhore?
[DACW]: Geraldo, between a Catholic upbringing and 20 years without a Steely Dan albumàthese things have a way of catching upàWeÆre concerned about millions of Americans growing up with only Britney Spears and Blink182 to fill there empty minds. Recent studies have show that this kind of audio stress results in a dramatic increase in free radicals in their little brainsàessentially turning their neural network of astrocytes and nerves into plaque-enveloped soup. These innocent people have had been imprisoned in an artistic environment without Elvis Costello or Miles Davis for over 20 years! àand just recently, Clear Channel has released the deadliest of all WMDs again, Celine Dion!!! For a while, she was thought to be retired or hanging out back in Canada or perhaps SyriaàWeÆre convinced the freedom of Blues Beach and The Last Mall is just what the Doctor ordered!!
[Geraldo] Now, Major Mu û tell us about your plan now that you have established an intelligence contact deep within Clear Channelà
[Major Mu] We have to play it very safe GeraldoàsheÆs young, but the Clear Channel Dark side of the Force may be strongà
Our unit, however, has trained with rigor and great discipline. First, we watched hour after hour of ôStar Search.ö WeÆve got the Britney episodes, Justin Timberlake, Alannis Morrisette way back to Jenny Jonesàthen we listen to many agonizing hours of David Foster keyboards, after he lost his way upon leaving the mentorship of Quincy JonesàOur men and women are dedicated. TheyÆre up to the job Geraldo! While we canÆt reveal our position and planàpay for play has been banned, but not play for food or sexual favorsàWe are still hoping to hear that Colonel Wormy and the 4th Infantry have recovered from the food poisoning they received from those Turkey sandwiches they ate at DennyÆs two nights ago, and can reinforce our flank!
Wait, Geraldo û what are you writing in the sand!!??? Aàwhatà 69! You idiot!
[DACW] We have just come under heavy fire by some soccer momsàweÆll have to be moving outàIÆll try to report lateràwe may try to hide in a mall on the wayà [static]à

On a serious note, there's been talk in the industry that some bands were having trouble making Clear Channel playlists if they didn't agree to play CC owned sheds. The Dan might be too big (and too good) for them to blow off completely, but it will interesting to see how much attention EMG gets from them. And it makes me wonder if CC already has the songs and are being slow to play them because leg one of the tour is so CC free...

I recal when I was small, to be specific, as a teen around the Cretacious Boyal Scam and Aja Period, I used to work on farms in the summer for $$: cucumbers, other veggies, 'baccy (tobacco), warehouse stuff. Anyway, one summer my brother and I were both working on the same farm and I had the radio/alarm clock set to 5:42 am every morning. The local FM rock/pop station that was reliable in that it was ON the air and had a strong enough signal to reach our bedroom (the AOR station from Raleigh was in and out) played largely pre-programmed tapes...well, they got lazy for a couple of weeks and slipped in the same tape from 3-6 am...so EVERY f**ing day for weeks, I'd hear *click* and then that unmistakable Lou Rawls baritone: "Yooooouuuu'll never fiiiiinnnnnd"...5 note/chord piano Latin phrase...then "another love like miiiine." A real life Groundhog Day with Bill Murray - we even had the same type of clock radio!!! Every morning, not only did the same Lou Rawls song would some on, but at EXACTLY the SAME part of Your Gonna Miss My Lovin' every single time!!!! Truly bizarre and frightening...it's amazing how quickly my hand slap reflex became on the off/snooze button!! To this day, while I greatly repect Lou Rawl's pipes, I must reflexively tune in another station immediately when I hear that baritone...

This is your chance to be an artist, a pioneer. This week, there were two radio singles released by the ôgroupö Steely Dan, well actually Reprise Records under AOL Time Warner Without Ted Turner Whatever. Both songs a crisp and full of hooks. The Last Mall is an altered blues with a twist û I think this is on that WAVE format, but could be AAA. The second is called Blues Beach and there is no other way to describe it as pure AUDIO CRACKàafter a couple of listens, you and your listeners (including me) will be HOOKED. YouÆll be deluged with calls, your stock or bond portfolio will skyrocket, and your love life will improve, if thatÆs possible or if you even have one!
Blues Beach is snappy, full of killer, MONSTER HOOKS û kind of Sly and the Family Stone meet Prince. It truly is THE sound of the summer û just a darn fine recording! A happy sound with clever, but deliciously twisted lyricsû a Hill Street Blues theme kinda approach. Whether or not that really parallels AAA today, who knowsàbut IS an adult alternative, and quite a departure from the Grammy winning Two Against Nature, which I love, but thatÆs mostly a funk meets cool jazz album. Blues Beach is the kind of music America needs to hear nowàjust how much Blink 182 and Matchbox 20 do we really need?
Given that Clear Channel owns 1200 stations, you all have not have the opportunity in a major market to be a leader of the pack and cruise America to Blues Beach! Carpe diem!

t: You and I are on the same page re: post 1125. It's Elvis Costello's Radio Radio all over again. This evening I've been into the belly of the Clear Channel Beast. It's odd and ironic that TV and radio are going in the opposite direction: Once upon a time ABC, NBC, and CBS ruled television, before an explosion of cable and satellite free-market options gave us 120 different ways to wade in mediocrity. There are a few exceptions: Fawlty Towers, CSI (just for the digital video), SportsNight, Frank's Place (set in N'awlins), Rockford, WKRP in Cincinnati, the character Hawk in Spenser for Hire, the first 3 years of MASH, the sci-fi writing during the first 3.5 years of Star Trek: TNG...However, thanks to Al Gore's invention of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, a little taco company from San Antonio now controls 1200 radio statioins outdistancing Infinity Broadcasting...squshing what little there was left in independent radio and stuffing Blink182 down our throats...
ItÆs been half a lifetime, mine to be specific, since I called in a request to a radio station. Yet I attempted to do such a futile thing to a Mix station here in town (AAA, AC format and some oldies). Much to my chagrin contacting the station by phone here resulted in only a pre-programmed ôthank youö from Clear Channel!!! and a menu of folks not at work today û no request line there. or on the internet. Turns out Clear Channel has metastasized here to a country and "classic rock" station as well
IÆm not a man easily stopped, however. I went into the belly of the corporate Clear Channel beast and after wading on the 'net through executive statement after statement, I found/hacked into the new song AAA playlist û for Clear Channel. Unfortunately Blues Beach was not to be found. now this is not a shock considering the state of AOL Time Warner Ted Turner Whatever...
Thus I have had no alternative but to lead Special Ops into the Clear Channel AAA stronghold of Houston. this mission is far to dangerous for imbedded reporters, but i will keep all posted on the project. I won't rest until I and my Marine mates pull down the statue of Michael Powell with a rope!!
and YES, the internet radio brouhaha is about control by broadcast Radio corporation and Record company control, not artist or listener rights, twisting the intentions of Copyright Law.

I liked The Last Mall from the first listen. Infectious little bass riff, typical WB guitar work but still tasty with some nice little touches. I like that low note at the end of the guitar intro. The main guitar solo could have been stronger but the way the bridge comes back in after the solo makes up for it. And yes that "Roll yer khat right up the aisle" is DF like I've never quite heard him before. Sounds like he's really the spirit in him alright.

Message: And Doc... a big ol' Texas sized YES! about internet radio and eviro-cars! I think the internet radio thing was a way to eliminate/regulate indendent radio stations. If you'll notice the licensing fees per song are set so high that only corporate sized stations can afford to pay. The intitial proprosal even went to the point of making the fees *retroactive* by a couple of years, meaning many stations ended up owing *millions* of dollars when the law went into effect. Of course, the RIAA said it was doing it "for the artists" (even convinced some of them, though oddly only ones who have no trouble getting airplay anyway), though they never cared to inforce artist royalties before. Meaning before Clear Channel controled most of what you hear on the radio.
So see... and I'm brainstorming this... If you control internet radio, which was a way of hearing internationaly diverse music and news, and have the majority of news and music coming from central locations (and I have to throw satellite radio in there too, because there you have only two corporations - one of them "siriusly" flailing - providing programming. No matter how "diverse" they seem, it's only two points of view), you can control not only access to information, but control peoples impression of what "music" is. Unless you really look you could have no idea different kinds of music even exist. At the very least, you can charge big money for musical diversity, something that should be free anyway.

Message: Doc - I may be wrong (I'm sure you'll let me know... heh heh...), but wasn't the Microsoft case about them misusing their monopoly by *forcing* PC manufacturers to accept the Windoze/Exploder bundle, then lying about it by saying windoze wouldn't work without exploder? And weren't they found guilty? Hardly a waste of taxpayers money... even though through plea bargains and endless appeals they'll still get off scott free...
All they had to do was wait out the Clinton adminstration and let the new corporation-pampering one let them off the hook. I think one of the appeals even went through a judge who had tech stock.

User: tones | Month: 3 | Day: 26
Message: Jimbo - I like your idea, but there's a problem. See, most Clear Channel stations aren't programmed locally. The "dj" you hear announcing the songs probably isn't even in your home state, because what they do is program from a central location in (why does it always have to be) Texas, where CC Inc. is stationed. The jocks in Tejas back announce the songs, and local info like weather and traffic is pasted into the generic broadcast. If you do happen to catch a live jock at the station, they're just there to push the buttons at the right time, or maybe announce local news to give the appearance of a local broadcast. That's why Clear Channel radio is generic across the country.
Best thing to do is to find another non-CC radio station in your area and tell your friends about it. There are other corporate owned stations, like KFOG, who still give their jocks a choice, once an hour or so... lol... I prefer college radio or public radio, which maybe too esoteric at time for some people, but I know the dj's are playing stuff from their hearts and not a formatted playlist. But I do agree that people should find out if which stations in their area are CC owned and boycott them, because the only way we're going to get radio back is to hit them where they live - their advertising revenue.
I was going to provide a link to a list of Clear Channel stations but can't seem to find one... so instead I'll remind everone what a great man once said to warn us:
"...the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools
Tryin' to anaesthetise the way that you feel."

Nope, the only way to hurt a corporation is to boycott their stuff. Problem is I'm not about to do that in the case of live music. If Steely Dan were to play White River Amphitheater (a Clear Channel shed), I'd still go. About the only thing we can do is not be complacent -- like the other 40% of the population who doesn't vote during a presidential election.

should be on the list of heroes.
With the travel industry in danger thanks to G.W.B Jr and his buddies, the music industry is already facing the same in terms of monopoly. I think that these radio stations need to take some risks and play the songs not recommended by the satanists of Clear Channel. If there's an outcry from anyone inside the Clear Channel bubble, everyone who works for a Clear Channel-owned station should vote to walkoff their jobs and really fuck up the stations. Of course that's not going to happen.
To come up with one idea is one thing, to act on it shouldn't be hard, but for whatever reason, people think it is.
Here's a really cool idea. Call up a station owned by CC and ask them to play a song that usually not heard on radio. Ex: Don't Know Why by Norah Jones, Maureen by Sade, Night by Night by Steely Dan, or even Blues Beach.
If they say we can't, ask why. If the answer is not satisfiying, ask them if they're owned by CC. If they hesitate, it means yes. Then, the
next day, call again and do the same. If the results are the same, tell them that they just lost a listener and that you'll encourage friends never to listen to that station again.
Wow! Think that'll scare em'?

I woke up at 6 a.m. in NYC today, so jazzed about getting PNC tickets at the earliest possible moment, and gazed lovingly at my computer for what I thought was exactly three hours. Despite the rain, the morning was glorious. Then, at some godforsaken moment before 9, I drifted away, woke up at 9:04, and all was lost. Can I really spend $200 on tickets way up and over in 301, when three minutes earlier, I could have paid the same price and possibly caught a drop of Donald's sweat?
So, I am paralyzed and indecisive. I can still get some far away tickets for $200, or save a little money and go even farther away, or save a lot of money and sit on the lawn. Or, I can just wait for Jones Beach to go on sale and start this agony anew. I think that's what I'll do.
How hard is that going to be? I fear it will sell even faster, and the "general public" (god, I love to feel like I'm PART of something bigger than myself), will be even more royally screwed.

Message: "The Koran Says the Jews Would Return to their Land"
By Naomi Klass Mauer
JewishPress.com | April 25, 2003
Sheikh Abdul Palazzi, professor at the Research Institute for Anthropological Studies in Rome, was in the United States recently guest lecturing at Yale University on the possibility of bringing democracy to the Arab world. Having read numerous items about the sheikh, we were interested in meeting him. We caught up with him in New York as he was preparing to return to Italy.
Jewish Press: Tell our readers a little about yourself.
Palazzi: I was born in Rome 42 years ago to a Syrian mother and an Italian father. In addition to teaching at the Research Institute, I also teach a post-doctoral course on Middle East studies, IÆm the secretary general for the Italian Muslim Association and the Muslim chair of Islam-Israel Fellowship at the Root and Branch Association.
Do you think democracy can ever come to the Arab world?
The United States has a real opportunity now to accomplish just that. The best proof is Afghanistan. Things are really turning around there and they can do the same thing in Iraq. After the first Gulf war ended the Emir was left in place in Kuwait. Slavery is rampant in Kuwait, but no one tried to replace the Emir with a real democracy, or to abolish slavery. Everything was left in place. But this time if the U.S. proves that it wants the globalization of democracy, it has a real chance to accomplish it in Arab countries. When you show the Arab world that you side with Arab leaders who kill them or enslave them, they lose all hope of change. An example is Arafat. When you build him up and the people know who he is, they have no hope of a change. I am terribly concerned that President Bush speaks of a Palestinian state. I am afraid that once this war with Iraq is won, the pressure on Israel to create a Palestinian state will be enormous. You cannot get rid of one terrorist state and then create a new one. And the Palestinian Authority will be worse, because they are the true allies of Saddam Hussein.
You know the terrorists always claim to be followers of the Koran.
The Koran is being misread. The Koran forbids mistreatment of Jews and the state is obligated to protect them. At the time of the Ottoman Empire Jews held positions in the government. The Koran says before the end of days the Jews will return to their land. At the end of World War One, Sharif Al Hussein, the leader of the Hashemite family and governor of Mecca said, when he saw the Jews returning to Palestine, ôWe are seeing what was foretold in the Koran. When others settled there the land stayed barren, but now the land recognizes its original sons and it is producing.ö
ItÆs too bad the Palestinian Arabs donÆt know that.
They canÆt know it because these passages have been removed from their books. The PA selected only certain sources for their books. All of the proofs are deleted. But in other Islamic countries you do find all proofs in the Koran. You know, before 1967, Islamists referred to the Jews as Palestinians and the present-day Palestinians were called Jordanians. In Jerusalem, Imam Tabari, an important cleric, wrote an important book, ôLives of Prophets and Kingsö He described the life of King Solomon and the Temple he built. Anyone who denies this not only denies history, but denies Islamic sources.
The Palestinian Arabs even deny that the Holy Temple ever stood on the Temple Mount.
I was part of an international delegation that visited Israel in 2000. The Wakf took us to visit Al Aksa. Right outside of the Dome of the Rock is a small chapel on the eastern side. ôWhat is this place?ö I asked. ôIt is the place where Solomon stood to dedicate the Temple,ö was the reply. ôThen why do you deny this?ö I asked. With a smile I was told, ôFor political reasons.ö Mecca and Medina are the holiest places for Islam. Jerusalem is shared with Jews and Christians. Why, according to Islam, did Mohammed go to Jerusalem? To meet all the prophets from other religions who worshiped there. Islam is faith in monotheism, faith in prophets, faith in humanity. The basic distinction is monotheism versus idolatry. And this concept it shares with Judaism.
This is just one of many instances of historical revisionism on the part of the Arabs.
Another example of history being forgotten concerns the 1919 agreement between Chaim Weizmann and King Faisel of Jordan and Iraq. The agreement said that the Jordan River was the border between the Jewish state and the Arab state. The Arabs did not oppose this. Then the British came and created Saudi Arabia, taking land from Jordan. So they told them to take some of the land back from the Jews. When the kingdom of Saudi Arabia was created, control of Mecca and Medina was thereby given to Wahabbism, the most primitive tribe of all. Islamic scholars were horrified. Then oil was discovered and they became all powerful and forced everyone to believe in Wahabbism and killed whoever didnÆt. With the passing of years they became more sophisticated. Wahabbism in its original form is still practiced in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. It is their official religion.
Regarding the situation in Iraq, are you surprised by the way the French have acted?
Unfortunately, no. France has reached a new low level. They want the regime of Saddam to survive because they have a financial interest in him.
What about the Vatican?
Tariq Aziz was warmly welcomed by the Vatican and the Franciscan Monks prayed with him for Bush to repent. The pope approved the war against Milosevic û was he worse than Saddam Hussein?
We recall that the pope didnÆt condemn the Arab gunmen who took over the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem last year.
No voice of dissent is heard inside the Catholic church. In the past there were many instances where bishops and cardinals voiced an opposite point of view. But not this time. The Franciscan priest inside the Church of the Nativity acted as if the Arabs were just seeking refuge from the Israelis. He is now visiting Italy and has such deep-rooted anti-Semitism that he is speaking out against Israel wherever he goes.
The Arab bishops who depend on their dictators for appointments are increasing inside the Vatican. The best bishops and cardinals are retiring, leaving a terrible vacuum. Cardinal Martini was an honorable and brilliant scholar from Milano. He said you cannot accept opinions of dictators in religious matters.
After his retirement he was sent to Jerusalem. He was accepted by the Latin Patriarchate only because the pope sent him, but they donÆt like him and refer to him as ôthe Zionist.ö
What is your view of the now discredited Oslo peace process?
Oslo was a basic mistake, and unless Israel takes steps to end it and publicly renounce it, we cannot expect the rest of the world to do so. When we in Italy try to stop the European Union from transferring money to Arafat, they answer us that even Israel is doing so. And why shouldnÆt Bin Laden hope to be forgiven like Arafat was? Oslo abolished one of the basic principles of international law. If you are a terrorist, your crimes will not be forgiven. The world needs to be reminded of that.

YES! These are the sounds of summer...no wonder AOL Time Warner Without Ted Turner Whatever pushed the release data back to June
Fagen's vocals are extraordinarily strong again. Walter's bass is crisp and fun and funky...Clever use of the Wurlitzer (put Almost Gothic and the bridge to Cousin Dupree around the whistling together) and piano in right channel...guitar and perhaps Rhodes in the left...Carlock has a boppy New Frontier meets Talking Heads with a 70s twist kinda thing. The tune is spright, fun and more rich than expected. Quite a few tiny and sneaky twists and turns. Moreover, the bridge is absolutely GLORIOUS. In one fell swoop Fagen reaches out his had and then snags easily the pinnacle that the great Paddy MacAloon and Prefab Sprout tried to achieve for years. The lively sound and balance of the recording are superb - can't wait to hear it on CD or DVD-A!!! Today's high was 91¦ here, but it's the cool part of the summer...

Message: MAY 2000: AN INTERVIEW WITH BERNARD PURDIE
(traduzione di Manuela Bongioanni)
1 - Dear Mr Bernard Purdie, we know that you performed with Bob Marley and The Wailers in spring 1968 for producers Danny Sims, Johnny Nash and Arthur Jenkins. Did you ever meet Bob personally in Jamaica?
Yes, I played and recorded with Bob Marley in Jamaica. I had the previlege of having dinner with he and his wife in their home. It was a festive evening; Johnny Nash, Danny Sims and Arthur Jenkins and host of others were also there.
(Bernard, lei ha lavorato con i Wailers nella primavera del 1968 sotto la produzione di Sims, Nash e Jenkins. Ha incontrato Bob Marley in Giamaica?
Si, ho suonato e registrato con lui in Giamaica. Ho avuto il privilegio di cenare con lui e con sua moglie nella loro casa. Era un giorno di festa; Nash, Sims e Jenkins e molti altri erano li anche loro)
2 - What struck you most? Which is the memory that you cherish most?
I cherish the memory of the very relaxed mode of approaching the music and being allowed our time to get it right.
(Che cosa lÆha colpita di pi·? QualÆF il suo ricordo pi· caro?
Era il modo veramente rilassato con cui si avvicinavano alla musica e il tempo che ci concedevano affinchF la suonassimo nel modo migliore)
3 - Have you ever had any further contacts with Bob Marley or Danny Sims or Johnny Nash?
I have had a lot of contact with Johnny Nash and Danny Sims. I have worked with them over the years in the United States.
(Ha mai pi· avuto contatti con Bob Marley o con i produttori?
Ho avuto molti contatti con Nash e Sims in seguito. Ho lavorato con loro per anni negli Stati Uniti)
4 - You performed in studio in 1967-68 with The Wailers (JAD Records published those sessions in 1998 in "The Complete Wailers": the songs was "What goes around come around", "Nice time", "Rocksteady", "Soul rebel", "Chances are" and many others). How did you live that experience?
Because of what I had learned with Bob MarleyÆs musicians, I incorporated so much of the reggae feel in to my music over the years. For example, listen to Aretha FranklinÆs ôDaydreamerö and ôRocksteadyö, Cat StevenÆs ôForeignerö, Donny Hathaway and Roberta FlackÆs ôWhere is the love?ö, to name a few.
(Ha suonato con i Wailers nel 1967-1968 su alcuni brani che sono poi venuti alla luce nel 1998 nella raccolta The Complete Wailers. Come ha vissuto quella esperienza?
Grazie a quello che i musicisti di Bob Marley mi hanno insegnato, ho incorporato molto del reggae nella mia musica attraverso gli anni. Per esempio, tanto per citarne alcuni, sentite pezzi come ôDay dreamerö e ôRocksteadyö di Aretha Franklin o ôForeignerö di Cat Stevens o ôWher is loveö di Roberta Flack.
5 - Do you like reggae music?
Do I like reggae music? No, I love it! The musicians there taught me the real authentic reggae music, wich usually have percussion played by five different people.
(Le piace la musica reggae?
Se mi piace la musica reggae? No, io la amo! Quei musicisti mi hanno insegnato la vera, autentica musica reggae, avevano percussioni suonate abitualmente da 5 musicisti differenti).
6 - What do you remember about Bob and his music?
His music was always entertaining, with great rythm and exceptional melody. When thinking of Bob, here is a picture that always come to mind. We would leave the studio for a break, Bob would always climb up the hill, find a large rock, lie down upon it, light up, commune with nature and be at peace.
(Cosa ricorda di Bob e della sua musica?
La sua musica era sempre piacevole, con un grande ritmo e una melodia eccezionale. Quando penso a Bob cÆF unÆimmagine che mi torna spesso alla mente. Quando sospendevamo le sessioni in studio per le pause, Bob spesso si arrampicava per la collina, sceglieva la pietra pi· grande, ci si sdraiava sopra e, radioso, si calava in comunione con la natura, rilassato, in pace)
Thank you very much for your kind help. God bless you.

I have not heard any of the New One (it really deserves capitals, doesn't it?) but am frantically switching from radio station to radio station because the ODS (Official Dan Site) says that we should listen for cuts beginning April 21. So far, no luck.
Many good plans for the summer, now.....definitely PNC and Jones Beach, with a fervent hope that the second leg of the tour puts them somewhere accessible for me on my birthday. (hopefully somewhere in Europe!)
I've missed this forum...I generally can't get on during the day, but my boss is away and my desk area is being painted, so I am hanging out in the boss' office today.

1. Shalamar. A Night To Remember.(Dont give me grief) but i like Jody.
2. Isley Brothers. Forever Gold.
3.Faces. The Best Of The Faces.
Only three at the moment , but would be intrested to see the big hitters choices...StAl Do you play a Greatest Hits Grateful Dead , or does WIP play a Golden Hits of The Floyd.Or is Showbiz still the favourite on this board.

BTW, WYEP in Pittsburgh will be playing one of the tracks from the new one on Friday at noon. Yay!
Natalie Maines will be on Primetime Thursday tomorrow. Yay!
But now with EMG about to be released, there may be some difficulty in promoting it. Our boys were profiled on CNN's Worldbeat three years ago, but now that Worldbeat is cancelled, hopefully some of the morning shows
will do the trick. Commercial radio, even AOR stations will play little or none of it. VH1 will steer clear of it in favor of some stupid reality show or repeated showings of "I Love the 80's", and "The Jacksons- An American Dream." I wonder if VH1 still shows music videos?
Maybe they should do an outdoor show unannounced somewhere so they can
do some heavy promoting. Just a thought, if DF and WB is reading this.
