Ugh. That movie must be JOHN WAYNE's worst. Even THE CONQUEROR has amusement.

JEFFERSON AIRPLANE After Bathing at Baxter's

Golden Throats- The Great Celebrity Sing-Off!

According to Wiki, Act 2 charted higher (Billboard 114) than Act 1 (Billboard 177). Neither is an impressive show.

THE BYRDS Sweetheart of the Rodeo

NOT OF THIS EARTH (1957) - ROGER CORMAN gets talked about a lot, really a lot of junkie movies that I find mostly boring (or absurd) but his one is only remembered by people my age from TV broadcasts... when it scared us... It was available at YouTube, but I don't see it around. Don't know if TCM broadcast it.

GOOD-BYE, MY LADY (1956)

Two favorites! ERROL FLYNN and ROGER LIVESEY ! I think ERROL FLYNN's film ADVENTURES OF DON JUAN (1948) is a lot of fun, but not much celebrated...

MONTEUX The Boston Symphony Orchestra Debussy La Mer / Nocturnes

PEPE ROMERO Guitar Solos

For a major group, their record sales continued to decline precipitously.

I had read one of the biggest problems with THE KINKS touring was the brothers fighting all the time. Speaking of "nobody listening" to :

We know! ALEX was proud of his Canadian heritage and made sure his viewers knew it! And yes! It was wonderful to have ALEX approve or confirm your correct response. "Celluloid Heroes" is one of RAY DAVIES best.

ALEX TREBEK: Good!

That recording is included in that DAVE BRUBECK collection I was listening to... and I would not have looked if you hadn't pointed it out. Thanks! Bluesy Jazzy melancholic mid-century urban... right up my alley.

Aside from Village Green songs, there aren't many KINKS songs I love and that's one of them. Wonderful.

I'd guess the only BYRDS album GRAM PARSONS was on is Sweetheart Of The Rodeo. I know his tenure with BYRDS was brief. I owned one or two BYRDS collections on vinyl eventually, but the only album of theirs proper I bought (and sometimes still listen to) is Sweetheart Of The Rodeo. Ah! Yes! Yet another poor seller! "NOBODY BOUGHT IT!"

Oh no, I totally disagree. CHRIS HILLMAN was always handsome even with his manfro 50 years ago... 'course he was younger than any of his bandmates... I do think GRAM PARSONS was an enormous talent - I have his two albums and also the first two ("real") FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS albums which I both love (they "didn't sell" either - very poor sales).

I think it's fair to start with CHRIS HILLMAN as far as bringing Country to THE BYRDS...

When I talk records, I am hyperbolic. I am also reactionary because I still reference my 1979 and 2004 RS Record Guides. I have a friend who gets annoyed when I'd say something like Bat Out Of Hell? Everybody bought it! She'd then point out that she had not (and misunderstood again, I don't point out that I hadn't bought it either!)

Uhm... yes. So was I.

There is truth in this statement, GRAM PARSONS certainly failed to ignite public interest in his Country Rock Folk hybrid ("Cosmic American Music" he called it). There are, however, other bands of that era interested in Country... There are other reviews by DetJim on each of those, go back a page or two.

I don't know 'bout that, but she is a child murderer. I don't feel sorry for Martha at all.
