History...dust....archives.

Oh, so you've tapped the online edition. The hard copy has a nice photo of his gap-toothed grinning skull. How would Sotheby's go about authenticating the lock of hair?

I remind myself of that every time I get to visit with my on again/off again WWF lovin' brother-in-law in Minnesota!!!

Can't believe Soul Station didn't do a virtual flip over that one (Gigolo)! Isn't that the one he's been praying for for ages? I'm in for the Hill....maybe Horace Scope.

Yes it is!

Brinsley Schwarz. Always liked 'Country Girl'

Hey, watch what you say around here, some people really like that Four Freshmen Mosaic set.

Good. It would have kept that 'Moderators' thread to a page.

"Live" chat.......sounds a bit ominous. Like a place where the truly unruly will be sent to get hen-pecked by the mob. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how Conn5000 emerges from the first session.

Yeah, I've seen a few of 'em......caught the tail end of the one last night before the Vikings game. That kid is thick and gets on my nerves. I'm betting that his four flippered pal hiding out in the closet is about to go to work on his face like a beaver on an Aspen tree.

I like the fact that you can hover the cursor over the names of the folks who are sitting in the forum and it tells you what they're doing (reading 11:30)....but I think it would be nice if we had additional info as well: what kind of coffee they're drinking? ... what their monthly mortgage payment is? ...what they're thinking?

Yes, "turned ugly" is one way of putting it.......more like deadly. I heard the "projectiles" were actually large pieces of wood hurled by the Turkish fans. Turkey Puts Itself in Soccer `Hell' as Violence May Lead to Ban Nov. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Turkish soccer fans hold banners with the slogan ``Welcome to Hell'' when their national team plays at home against foreigners. The intimidation tactics backfired in last week's match against Switzerland, which ended in a fight. Turkish coach Mehmet Ozdilek aimed a kick at Switzerland's Valon Behrami, and received one from Swiss player Benjamin Huggel. Swiss substitute Stephane Grichting was injured during a brawl and hospitalized with a perforated urinary tract, Sky News reported. Turkish supporters also threw stones at the Swiss team's bus and hurled projectiles onto the field. While Turkey won 4-2, the team was eliminated from the 2006 World Cup competition because the result wasn't enough to overturn a Swiss win four days earlier. The violence hurt Turkey more than the score: Fifa, soccer's governing body, will investigate the incident and may ban the team from the 2010 tournament. ``We had a terrible image anyway, and the worst thing is that officials provoke this kind of thing,'' said Bagis Erten, editor of Istanbul-based soccer magazine Tam Saha, in a Nov. 18 telephone interview. ``It's a deliberate strategy.'' Sepp Blatter, president of Fifa, the Zurich-based Federation Internationale De Football Association, pledged Nov. 17 to ``act tough'' in its probe of the incident. The debacle may add to concerns about Turkey's efforts to join the European Union, said Erten. Turkey is counting on the decade- long accession talks to attract more foreign investment to its $300 billion economy. The nation already faces political and economic hurdles to becoming the EU's first Muslim member. `Scandalous' Politicians including Germany's Chancellor-designate Angela Merkel and French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy have said Turkey isn't European enough in its culture and traditions. ``The scenes of rioting and violence after the match between Switzerland and Turkey were scandalous,'' German Interior Minister Otto Schily said in a Nov. 17 statement. ``Unfortunately the reputation of Turkish soccer has suffered great damage.'' Turkish officials said the violence began with Swiss provocation during the first leg of the tie in Bern on Nov. 12, and accused Blatter, who's Swiss, of bias. Swiss supporters jeered during the Turkish national anthem in Bern, and Turkish players and coach Fatih Terim were verbally abused after the match, Turkey's soccer federation said. English Stabbings The clashes came after two fans of England's Leeds United were stabbed to death in fights with Turkish supporters before a club competition in 2000 in Istanbul. A Turkish court sentenced the ringleader in that attack to 15 years in prison. The football associations in England and Turkey were fined in October 2003 after a brawl between players during a match in Istanbul. The melee started after Turkish defender Alpay taunted England's David Beckham for missing a penalty and jabbed him in the face when the players left the field for the interval. Turkey was also fined $37,000 for the conduct of its fans in a match against Macedonia in June 2003. They threw bottles at opposing players during the match, which Turkey won 3-2. Some Turkish supporters say they believe the country's past record means it doesn't get a fair hearing in disputes. The nation ``is like the bad boy in the back row of the class who always gets beaten by the teacher,'' wrote columnist Ece Temelkuran in Istanbul-based Milliyet newspaper on Nov. 18. ``And we're pointing at the good boy in the front row and shouting, `But he did it!''' EU `Obstacle' The country shouldn't be singled out for punishment, Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Ali Sahin told reporters on Nov. 17. ``Blatter spoke like a Swiss supporter, not like the FIFA president, and this was unworthy of him,'' Sahin said. Any decision to punish Turkey will be ``a subjective decision by a Swiss president, and it won't be acceptable to us.'' Fans didn't cause the trouble at the Switzerland match, ``and in fact showed they're more sensible than our footballers and coaches,'' Ibrahim Seten wrote in Vatan newspaper Nov. 18. Still, the damage to the country's reputation may be difficult to repair. ``It's sad because for a lot of Europeans, soccer was how they first heard about Turkey,'' said Erten. ``It was one of the factors that accelerated Turkey's integration with Europe. Right now, it looks more like an obstacle.''

Yes, I adore you. I didn't That's good to hear.....all these years I've been thinking that you were the one that got that 'Infinity' TOCJ I so desperately needed!!

Damn! Jazzmoose is the 3rd ranked top poster? I must have missed most of it. What the heck's he been talking about all this time?

Those of us on a tighter budget care! I do have the original CD. I think I paid about $14 for my copy about 5 years ago - from a German site now out of business. Now out of business because they were selling JRVG's for only $14. No, it was Amazon Germany (Chuck's just forgetful) and they're still in biz. Kevin B. first brought it to our attention years ago and we all raided the place. I think I snagged 15 or so.

I glommed onto his 'Bullshot' Lp when it first came out...just loved it (still do). Used to play "Switchblade" on my college radio show down NC about every other week & use it as background on station promos and PSAs. Too bad he's gone.

I remember when Clem suddenly chained himself to the political forum and camped out for about 3 months, whispering sweet nothings in my ear day & night.

Curious little film....

Same here......haven't heard these older ('94) Lonnie Smith Trio does Hendrix ones either. Anyone? Abercrombie's on both. Purple Haze TKCV-79055 Foxy Lady TKCV-79053

See what happens when women fail to play the 'anchor' and start acting like us? Society goes right over the cliff. ...but who cares...gimme a grass skirt and get me to Ye Olde Time Tunnel ASAP!

I wonder what that tasted like. Go sample the transmission fluid in your car.

Took some major time and effort to get that Hicks one (then wound up with 2 copies..go figure!). Never again will I scale tall buildings and expend massive quantities of energy scouring the planet for an elusive jazz cd that'll end up being reissued in a year or two anyway.

Has anyone managed to score any tickets yet? Better question might be --anyone trying?

I gave the "Jay Jay Johnson, Vol 3" 10" Toshiba vinyl a spin today and it's not so great. 'You're Mine, You" has a good deal of distortion and sounds particularly bad. The JRVG sounds excellent. Anyone else listened to that vol. 3 vinyl? The first weak Toshiba wax I've heard.
