Thanks, Lee.

I could claim to have roadied for Spandau Ballet, sung live on stage with 
Joe Walsh, and partied with Eddie Vedder at a bar across the street in my 
old neighborhoodand 2 out of three stories are 100% true. But the more 
detail I supply, the less impressive the headline becomes (Eddie actually 
was there, but I didn't find out until the following day), so I won't 
bother.

I'm planning on leaving Debbie VW alone, but she sets off my finely tuned 
Bullshit Meter (I'll adjust it). She answered my question to Ang, about the 
recent interview, and thought for some reason that she had to tell me she 
was "there", back in the day. Now what this had to do with Ang's nitpicking 
is still a mystery to me, hence my reaction.

As you know, I'm no Love loverbut if Brian had said that Mike was "on 
his own recognizance" and not vice versa, NOBODY would have thought a thing 
about it. It's the lynch mob mentality that bothers me. Maybe they can 
figure a way to just burn him with cigarettes.

I think she's legit.  Don't get fixated on her.  You're wasting your time 
t.  Just cut a swathe around her and carry on as if she isn't there.  Love 
is a real divider.  A real negative.  A wedge.  He has a secret 
agenda...which everyone can easily see.   She isn't any of that.  She means 
well.  Seems to me that it's been authenticated somewhere...maybe by some 
in the know behind the scenes at Smiley Smile.

Hi t

Time just moves on I guess. I watch HD movies streamed over the net, I no 
longer have a mobile 'phone the size of a brick, my car is economical and 
turns its own headlights on, I can exchange pictures and chat with my son 
in the Navy wherever in the world he is instantly, I listen to WAY more 
music through Spotify and read many more books using my Kindle, blah, blah. 
I love this expansion of the periferal parts of my life. The core of my 
family life is the same as it was and is unaffected [although sometimes 
enhanced].

It's a shame that this form of interaction has fallen into disuse but then 
I couldn't book a hotel in Arizona in 30 seconds from the UK 15 years ago. 
Facebook, like anything it's used properly, a great source of interaction. 
I've met up with 2 significant groups of friends after 35 years and it 
helped massively with our 3 week trip around the US last year. I'm not here 
to promote FB but in some ways with tech like this it's a bit like good ol' 
King Canute.

I hope that we can find a way to keep in touch but things are what they 
are...

2015-09-30 Thread 'Jurgenhaim' via Diamond Headz
My instinct is to say I/we of course give a shite but who's kiddin' who? We 
appear even at this level of discussion to be down to 4, maybe 5 infrequent 
participants.

Other than facebook I don't visit any of the chat rooms or discussion 
boards that I did over the past 12 or so years.

To be honest, and I'm sure I'm not alone, the magic and excitement of BW 
tours and even releases have diminished (I'm not so positive about NPP and 
living on a Scottish island didn't get to see Love and Mercy). I won't go 
as far as to say I knew the planned UK BW tour was doomed for failure but I 
did certainly think it odd that having failed to fill the 2,500 capacity 
Glasgow Royal Concert Hall for Gershwin in 2011 Tour, those responsible for 
the planning chose the much newer Glasgow Hydro, capacity 13,000 as the 
venue in 2015.

Am I willing to manage the board? "NO"! Do I want to see it fold? My 
emotions say "NO"! I will however check in more frequently (site is now top 
of my favourites) and will try to kick start a few discussions.

Lakepipe, I see Family have (again) reformed for a full UK tour...any 
insights?

Who's aware of Dublin based Pugwash, currently touring the USA? I might 
post something about them.

Is prog rock alive and well?

Let's see?

Shyte is something many of us...[and there sure are MANY of us still 
looking in from time to time...what?...a 1/2 dozen]...have the ability 
to give...but TIME is something people don't seem willing to give in a 
meaningful enough way.  And AGAIN...it isn't just here.
 
There are a handful of things important in Beach Boys land.  SMiLE is 
out...both versions...Brian's and the collective.  Brian continues to 
record and tour.  The Mike Love 'Beach Boys' have upped their game and 
continue to tour as well.  Books are coming out.  Brian's story has been 
told accurately and now, thankfully, he's in good hands...and actually 
happy.
 
Our work is done here.
 
Really t.  It's still nice to stop by and say HI though.  [and maybe eat 
some "schrooms". -) ]
 
We sure shared some neat times together 'collectively' here at least...
