My wife told me her little sister used to sing When a Man Loves a Woman as "If a Man Was a Woman."

I really hope they actually do release this. I have the one he did Live in Berlin--with all the parts sang by people...remember? I do! A friend of mine in high school had that on cassette and we'd listen to that and the original version quite a bit. I of course preferred the original but there were bits of the Berlin version that stuck with me... in particular, Sinead O'Connor singing Mother (admit it, there's something both powerful and amusing about hearing her sing, "Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?"). I believe Cyndi Lauper also sang a song but I forget what song she sang. |

Oh yeah, I said I'd tell ya...sorry! It's the week before Elections, so I'm busy with that, and a friend's 21 year old daughter was just moved into hospice, blah, blah...
Okay...I LOVED IT. But THE WALL, DSOTM & MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON are my 1,2,3 favorites. And I LOVE THE MOVIE. It's the DARK SCARY SIDE of rock and roll...it's Bob Geldoff, trashing hotel rooms and shaving off his eyebrows...but the story of "Pink" and his issues...and the reasons...and the music. I love it. The seats were good...even though it was "row 2" NO ONE IN FRONT OF US--EXCEPT THE CAMERA CREW (who were shooting with 3 stationary cameras, so they weren't all over--and of course, I asked 'em...they're doing a set--and they're using footage from the entire tour, scheduled to be out NEXT year around this time...AND THIS WASN'T A garden variety PALACE GRUNT. THIS DUDE WAS their crew...AND yeah, I can tell the difference.), The crashing plane, (which was WAYYY BETTER than the other two times I've seen 'em! LOUD AND AWESOME PYROTECHNICS) the flying pig (BLACK with lots of graffiti), and all the amazing animation, was shown on THE WALL, which was partially built at the beginning, and would be "built" during the course of the show--plus some new footage here and there were thrown in. It was LOUD...and FROM THE UPPER LEVEL IN THE BACK...and to their sound guy...BRAVO! IT WAS C-R-I-S-P. Waters sounded amazing...you could hear and understand every word! And even the crew who were "building the wall", throughout the show, which I thought may be distracting, wasn't. I'll tellya what, though, IT WAS COOL AS HELL WHEN IT BLEW UP/FELL. I was kinda bummed that David Gilmour wasn't with him...it's been rumored that he's been showin' up for shows...but I think it was just the UK leg of the tour...THAT WOULD'VE BEEN COOL. And, right where you'd expect--AT THE END OF CD 1--there was a 15-minute intermission. So--I loved it. The sound was amazing, we had a great vantage point (if the cameras were IN FRONT OF US...I'd say I was correct...heh.), it was loud, it was great, and I was "comfortably numb" for the show...CHEERS! I guess there ARE advantages of being Ms. Magoo. LOL!!) I really hope they actually do release this. I have the one he did Live in Berlin--with all the parts sang by people...remember?--so, that would be cool if they do. A well-worth-the-wait birthday present!! ![]() PEACE--Kath |

"Eat Me, I'm A Danish" was a popular parody in Chicago when Johnny B. still did mornings on WLUP. From that, when people would call the station/him, the first words out were always "Hey, Johnny - EAT ME!".
I read years ago that Hendrix put out the bogus info on the misheard lyric, that it really was 'Scuse me while I kiss this guy, & he put out the story to screw with peoples' heads (and for a laugh). So, take your pick which is correct. ![]() Since reading it in a Dave Barry column years ago, every time I hear "Jet Airliner" on the radio, I sing "Ohwhoaoh, Big Ol' Jed Had A Light On". It never sounded like that to me, but hearing it shortly after reading that, maybe/kinda/sort. Maybe not, but it's stuck in my head. As is....Back in 1970, my sister was loaded one night & the utterly dreadful song "Patches" came on the radio, & she started singing along. She did ok until the lines "Every morning 'fore I went to school - I fed the chickens & I chopped wood, too." She came out with "Every moning 'fore I went to school - I chopped the chickens & I felt the mules." Whether that was deliberate or chemically induced, I'll never know, but it's stuck in my head (and cracks me up when I think of it). A personal tongue trip is from my Pizza Hut days. The salad consisted of lettuce, red cabbage & carrots. One day, I was talking too fast & it came out "red cabbots & carriage". Once. One time. 30 years later, I still have to slow down & deliberately pronounce the words. However, I CAN say "Unique New York" 3 times fast. ![]() |

Yesterday I listened to Vol. 3 (the second album, LOL!) while working out at the health club. Some thoughts: LOL!! This used to DRIVE ME BATSHIT. I know those guys think they're SLICK--but THEIR FANS? Not so much...try to explain that to the "run-of-the-mill" customer...(usually some dude with a chick he's tryin' to impress hangin' off his arm--same ones that come in to say they want "NOW YOU'RE MESSIN' WITH A SON OF A ****"......COME TO MAMA, MORONS...heh.): "Traveling Wilburys...here ya go. Y'all need anything else? (after the TOTAL EYE ROLL FROM BOTH OF THEM...)" "...I need the second one." "That IS the second one...there's only two Volumes..." "What a stupid ****...IT SAYS VOLUME 3...is there A DUDE OR A MANAGER I CAN TALK TO?" "DUDE--YOU'RE TALKIN' TO THE MANAGER...and you don't need to have a **** to KNOW MUSIC...Want my BOSS' NAME now??" ![]() AND, MY WORK IS DONE HERE. heh. Typical George Harrison pun (Vol. 3 instead of 2). When he wasn't being all spiritual (not that that's a bad thing, but when it's "I have God and you don't," well....), he was a pretty goofy and funny guy. As much as I'm not a huge Jeff Lynne fan, he got some good work out of Harrison on the 1980s and "Brainwashed," his posthumous last album, even if I don't always love his production style. |

My father is known for mis-hearing things or misunderstanding things he hears... The ultimate gem as far as misheard lyrics:
He heard Under the Boardwalk as I've Got a Boiler Problem. He didn't like the song and complained that it didn't make any sense... well with his version of the lyrics, he's absolutely right. Not to be outdone one of my older brothers often came up with his own lyrics to popular songs... He knew what the real lyrics were but it didn't stop the following from happening... Tom Petty's Free Fallin' became Heat Lightnin' Falco's Rock My Amadeus became Rock Me I'm a Danish (and by Danish he meant breakfast pastry, not someone from Denmark). Franki Valli's My Eyes Adored Ya became My Eyes in Georgia And I too have picked up the gene and carried on the tradition with... Chicago's Saturday In the Park becoming Sabbath Day Eating Pork Semisonic's Closing Time becoming Soccer Mom |

Yesterday I listened to Vol. 3 (the second album, LOL!) while working out at the health club. Some thoughts: 1. Does NOT sound like ELO this time out, much closer to a roots rock with saxes sound like The Iguanas from New Orleans 2. More of a group effort than Vol. 1, which was dominated more by Dylan: everyone has several spotlights, although Jeff Lynne is mostly a background vocalist once again 3. Totally underrated album, possibly because of the absence of Roy Orbison 4. I enjoyed this album much more now than when it was originally released, the opposite of Vol. 1. You can find the 3 disc set (the two studio albums and a DVD of videos/documentary) for as low as $12 new from some Amazon merchants if any of you ELO/Beatles/Petty/Orbison/Dylan fans are interested. I read that Del Shannon was supposed to have replaced Roy Orbison however Shannon commit suicide before he had a chance to record anything with these guys. I do sometimes wonder what they would have sounded like had Shannon been involved in the project. |
