One of my pet peeves is people calling

Blue Trane but what can you do when the label itself makes the same mistake? Really sad.

If "Blue Trane" is "pathetic", what do you call a George W Bush speech?

Certainly in this world of wayward politicians, economic depression, "Arrrrnooold", SARs, terrorists.........we can reserve the word "pathetic" for more appropriate applications?

Have you seen THIS?

I assume you meant this particular thread?

"Ranking member of House Appropriation Committee, calls for Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz resignation"

THanks, first time I had seen that. I think the White House should "obey" ;)

Wolfowitz has to be the most dangerous man in America.

Nope. The link provided was as intended. B)

The funny thing is that the album was indeed titled Blue Train[/] originally!

I have to confess to never paying attention to the spelling before. I always assumed it was Blue TRANE since after all, it is Trane.

I think that's what Chuck is referring to, Chris, a Fantasy comp. of Trane's blues tunes put out as "Blue Trane". The funny thing is, in a way, there's no false advertising here. They're "stealing" sales only to the extent that the wrong title for the BN album has made its way into the collective jazz consciousness, something that has now been helped along by Blue Note itself. Way to go guys! :tup

I've always heard about the "Booby" thing, but have never seen it. What issue was that misspelling on?

I'm not sure, but the joke was definitely used a lot on the old BNBB.

No, the back cover of The Kicker has another misspelling of his name! His last name is misspelt as "Hucherson" (no 't'). It was another reissue that had his first name misspelt as "Booby", but I don't remember which one, although I've seen it. Did someone say something about Blue Note and proofreading? :rolleyes:
