This all also just reminded me - you can find some ungodly fuckups on Discogs with this concept. I remember one several years ago that involved Carl Marsh (he of Shriekback/Happyhead) and some Carl Marsh who was/is an arranger/keyboardist. They both had all manner of cross/wrong listings under each of their entries that any sane and reasaonable person could look at and immediately say, "OK,by That One Guy

Well, I'll be old Mr. Cranky here - since somebody has to be... Firstly, the entire notion of a RRHOF is idiotic to begin with. But if it's going to a) exist in the form it does now, honoring the types of people it generally has, and b) thirty five years on, Al Kooper is not in there - taking it seriously on any level is not something I tend to do.

I'm not clearly discerning what the point, or issue here is. Unless it's some kind of shock, horror or outrage that a 30 year old book is available to download on the internet. If that is indeed the problem, then I.....uh.....well.....no, sorry. I got nothing for you there.by That One Guy

I worked in music retail and distribution from the early 80s until the early 2000s, and was and am a voracious music fan. Times I actually heard anybody speak the phrase "sophisti-pop" during that time : Zero. Precisely. Times I have seen it used, especially online, in the past 20 years by music "journalists" who either weren't there or don't know their ass froby That One Guy

Pfffft. Buckethead cranked out 118 in 2015 alone. And got 'em out.by That One Guy
Yeah, well, I did a little thinking after that, and it was probably more to do with, as I said, some experiences I've had other places recently. I'm a pretty friendly guy too, but when people start hurling the crap, I tend to hurl back, so - forgive the momentary triggered flashback lol.

Ah - well, it looked a wee bit on the sarcastic side from here. I think if you read it again, you might see how it could have possibly come off that way, as with my reply. But if it wasn't, then my apologies, and no harm no foul. Probably just my naturally suspicious internet tendencies kicking in...

The shows from Todd Rundgren's Back To The Bars that were recorded at the Bottom Line took place from May 10 to May 14, 1978. Lou Reed's Take No Prisoners was recorded at the Bottom Line from May 17 to May 21, 1978. Not a bad two weeks.by That One Guy

For a hardcore music junkie (in the US, at least), one of the most important tomes to be able to lay your hands on back in the day. This is the 1996 edition, but that had to be towards the end of it. I know I was drooling over it as far back as 1990, maybe even '88 or '89?by That One Guy

Why would you think that the current fans - the ones who've never heard of him - would be wondering WHY they've never heard of him? I'd say that if they don't know who he is at this stage, that's a pretty fair indication they probably don't really care either way.by That One Guy
