BeastWiki : en.wikipedia.org... - that's a year & 1/2 before Godzilla was released. - As someone said in FamousMonsters of Filmland (or suchlike) in days of yore - Harryhausen gave us Surrealism in a world of Schlock. ...Nothing against Schlock, of course... |

Thx. Good to hear: - Sorry to say I expect very little from current SciFi cinema - partly I theorize because Future Shock has become Present Shock - & partly because people are dumbed-down & want ActionAdventure cop crap thinly veiled as SciFi - &/or such shoot'emup violence is reality now... |

Please Post also glenn ! ...I'll open another window... |

Good morning Bob and listeners. I really liked that Six Boys in Trouble track. Any idea where I could find that LP? A label maybe? |

...don't knock the o.s.u. !: It's how they killed Godzila the 1st time - altho' - consequences later... - well - yeah - schlock - ActionAdventure has it's place. I just miss *Ideas* - yerknow ? - As for Monsters - I found 'The Monster Show' by David J. Skal a great one as far as what *that's* all about... - Marty McSorley - others?- has/ve played SixBoys too - real street recordings from - late 50s/early60s?? I wonder what became of those kids - not too much good probably... |

SF movies, low budget indie: "Primer" and "Monsters" Start there for some real science fiction. My personal faves are SF comedies, ie. "Fifth Element" "Galaxy Quest" "Tremors"...etc | |

As much as Mitch Miller is infamous for his hatred of rock 'n' roll, which kept Columbia out of the rock biz until the mid-'60s, he was definitely ahead of his time as a producer. All of his productions feature interesting, innovative, attention-getting sonic frills that nobody else was doing at the time. | |

And thank you Bob for playing Rosemary Clooney and Steppenwolf back-to-back. I love both equally, and that's the essence of FMU right there. | |

Glenn, Steppenwolf was only semi-Canadian. They formed in L.A. after the Sparrow broke up, and of the original members, only the three ex-Sparrow guys—John Kay, Jerry Edmonton and Goldy McJohn—were from Canada. And Kay's originally German, so... | |

its was the folkies who were pissed about electricity. But none of them would have been able to play to more than 50 people without it. |

- Judy Henske on Elektra worked w/ Bob (harmonica on her record??) & gets ProtoFolkRock cred... - right glenn - & they didn't put it out... - Mitch M an oboist (sp.??) w/ Classical background - just like George Martin! |

Mike E.: - said the soundman! (No?) Bob credits primitive P.A.s & everyone's technical ignorance then for part of the reaction to him Going Electric (makes sense). glenn: - Oh! They did. |

"Mixed-Up Confusion" Single by Bob Dylan B-side Corrina, Corrina Released December 14, 1962 Format 7" Recorded November 14, 1962, Columbia Recording Studios, New York City, New York Genre Folk rock Length 2:28 Label Columbia Writer(s) Bob Dylan Producer John H. Hammond Bob Dylan chronology "Mixed-Up Confusion" 1962 "Blowin' in the Wind" 1963 Mixed-Up Confusion is a song written and recorded by Bob Dylan. It was recorded with an electric band on November 14, 1962 during the sessions for The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, but was not used on that album, which, aside from "Corrina, Corrina", was entirely acoustic. Instead the song, backed with "Corrina, Corrina" (a different take than the Freewheelin' one), a traditional blues song, appeared as Dylan's first single, released in the U.S. on 14 December 1962 as Columbia 4-42656.[1] According to legend, Dylan wrote the song in a cab on the way to the Columbia Studios for the recording session.[2] This version was released in the Biograph box set in 1985. A different, previously unreleased, take from the same session appeared on the compilation album Masterpieces in 1978.[1] Both sides of the single are now available, in mono, as bonus tracks on the 2-CD Jasmine release Carolyn Hester Introduces Bob Dylan. |

What pisses me off is all these people who want to dictate what artists should or shouldn't do. You can dislike it at first then like it (happens often to me), or dislike it for good. It didn't stop with folk vs. electric. I had this conversation with Taraka Larson last year |

- like - seeing a Beatles Tribute - & thinking: They certainly have better P.A. than the Beatles came close to! - been playing it a lot longer then they did too.. ...Arlo Guthrie explained it as the Folkies didn't understand yet that Rock could be meaningful & valid that way. (The 'Authenticity' police.) Awfully strange to us now on the other side when so much is based on Bob's innovations. - Bob says: Was Woody Guthrie having Chart Hits? Leadbelly? What do I care?! ...I think Dylan should get more cred as ProtoPunk for facing audiences he knew would boo him & directly challenging them! (He doesn't because being Wordy & Serious is considered specifically AntiPunk - another Genre Authenticity Police thing)... |
