randyfrommichigan:

@granny I agree about smaller venues but not often possible for the big names. I did get to see EJ play a small venue in '79, just him on piano plus Ray Cooper on percussion. Lucky you got to see Prince, me too, Purple Rain tour. My wife was able to see Prince at a small venue in Detroit around '81 before he got big, Vanity 6 and The Time opened up!

mcgreivey:

@randyfrommichigan maybe. But I don't know those songs. I haven't listen to the whole album since I was 12. Sometimes it helps to have an editor who has no sentimental attachment, like a sociopathic president, or a driver's ed instructor.

@mcgreivey great comment! Yes my 13 year old daughter was my editor for the White Album. She has no sentimental attachment for the old stuff unlike me, that's why I want her to do EJ's GYBR with me. I've heard every song probably hundreds of times since I got the album when I was 14. But seriously check out the songs I mentioned, they are really good, sentimentality aside!!

@Joe McG my brother and I had been debating how to edit the White Album back in August, so he called me yesterday and said I needed to listen to your show, so my daughter and I listened to it last night and we sent our comments to my brother via email. Loved your show!

Apparently (according to interwebs), Paul Jones was also asked to be the singer for a band being formed by Keith Richards and Brian Jones, but he turned it down.

Paul Jones was also an actor in the film Privilege, an allegorical story of a rock star's life. Crikey, the man sang Pretty Flamingo and so much other stuff. Mike d'Abo is also excellent in his own right.
