Terrific live studio performance. Congrats to the engineers. And, Michael, you are spot on with the lack of irony and niceness. These guys were so joyful in their performance Thursday, it was even better than I had hoped (and I love the records, so had high expectations). Thanks for making the EC studio thing happen.

Avatar #1 Hit Supporter Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 12:15pm
Gaylord Fields:

@bruxx: But what about the fact that Tony Rivers and the Castaways rearrange the song so that it's no longer a Fake Beatles song but a Fake Beach Boys song?
Avatar #1 Hit Supporter Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 12:16pm
Stevel:

glenn:If you like Damon Runyon, you should probably look up a book that documents the newspaper era he came from. Timberline/by Gene Fowler. Fowler was a contemporary of Runyon's. He tells the history of how the Denver Post was built via a merged effort of community need and hucksterism.

Gaylord - you are right - you turned me on to that song 20 years ago and I'll be forever grateful.

glenn: I'm picking up Runyon at the library tomorrow. Never read his stuff, except in pieces.

The original version of "Girl Don't Tell Me" is one of the few Beach Boys tracks with no harmony vocals. So really Tony Rivers and the Castaways were just fixing it.

@scott: It's also one of the rare Beach Boys songs from that era on which they played the instruments themselves. (Also, on the Tony Rivers version, I like the quote of the BBs' rivals, the Four Seasons, at the end!)

Denver Post was founded in very late 1800s by supporters of President Grover Cleveland, who was a conservative-ish pragmatic Democrat (he was the only Democrat president in the post-civil war era from the 1960s through Wilson in 1913).

For the record, Greeley was a Whig, and then a Republican when the northern anti-slavery pro-econ.-dvlpmt. Whigs kicked out the southern slavery Whigs and founded the Republicans in the early 1850s during the lead-up the the Civil War. Greeley ran the biggest Whig/Republican paper in NYC, the Tribune, which from the 1840s through the 60s was the most prestigious and influential paper certainly in the northern part of the US. The NY Times was an upstart rival that didn't get to be a big deal till it started printing government dispatches in full during World War I.

Post founders were Fred Bonfils and HarryTammen. You see the Bonfils name on everything in Denver. Fred was a con man. Ran fake lotteries in small towns. (Had a shill as the winner, split the take.) But, the following wiki excerpt sets the tone pretty well.

"In 1900, both Bonfils and Tammen were horsewhipped and hospitalized by a lawyer who disliked their yellow journalism. Bonfils took $250,000 hush-money from Harry F. Sinclair in the Teapot Dome scandal."

At the time the Denver Post was started, the Dems were finally making a comeback nationally after being kind of tainted in the North due to the War.

Throughout the 19th century both parties gave money to back papers as a way of getting more leverage in a city or state. Big mining money in Colorado from the 1870s on meant Dems and Reps were fighting for the state via newspapers etc etc in the later 1800s...
