The Who visit the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.

And what a paradise it is. Be sure to hang out for the last two minutes.

Lester Bangs audio interview.


Thank you, Richard Metzger, for posting this link/interview with one of the greatest critics of my generation.

I give up.


Acquired the remaster of Skynyrd's "Second Helping," and it got the landlord up. Must have been "Working for MCA". Sounds so good it's hard to argue with it or turn it down. Maybe you don't recall.

Seven years of hard luck, comin' down on me
From the Florida border, yea up to Nashville Tennessee
I worked in every joint you can name, mister every honkytonk
Along come Mr Yankee Slicker, sayin' maybe you're what I want

(Chorus)
Want you to sign your contract
Want you to sign today
Gonna give you lots of money
Workin' For MCA

9000 dollars, that's all we could win
But we smiled at the Yankee Slicker with a big ol' Southern grin

They're gonna take me out to California gonna make me a superstar
Just pay me all of my money and mister maybe you won't get a scar

(Chorus)

Suckers took my money since I was seventeen
If it ain't no pencil pusher, it got to be a honkytonk queen
But I'll sign my contract baby, and I want you people to know
That every penny that I make, I'm gonna see where my money goes

(Chorus)

I remember Neil. Whiskey on me.
