Stevie! I admit it! I LOVE Sydney Devine! He RULES!!!

Callie, I can understand about ELO Part 2, they were nothing next to the real thing. But they did have like 2 good songs. BTW Jeff Lynne has got back with Richard Tandy, as well as George Harrison, and cellist Suzi Katayami (who's also played with the Cheiftains) and are releasing the 1st ELO album in 15 years. It's coming out next month, and it's called Zoom.

I've been learning bad pop hits from the 60s and 70s on the cittern. Not only that, but I sit in the middle of the music store I work at and play them at the staff, especially Ron who is a cittern fanatic.

"Your Song", "Spooky", "I'm A Believer", "Pipeline", "Different Drum", "The Sloop John B."

I don't know what is a bodhran, but if somebody explains, I may listen to him...

I once called here The Carter Family "criminals" for their song "Single girl, Married girl". I confused them with the Stonemen. I didn't apologize. Still I don't.

Right now, I'm downloading Sonic Youth's songs on Napster. I'm not ashame.

I once thought "Billy Jack" was a profoundly moving, deeply significant film...a great statement concerning injustice in our times.

I was very young. Forgive me.

I made no such mistake with its sequels.

Oddly enough, I got to know some of the people who played bit parts in it a few years later, when I stayed at Rolling Thunder's camp in Nevada. They even had a truck there that Tom Laughlin gave them, with the Billy Jack hat logo on its doors.

But it was still a wretched movie. It's message: there's only one way that peaceful, gentle people can fight mindless violence and prejudice. By getting a martial arts expert to kick the shit out of their persecutors, and shoot a few of the worst ones, and feel totally self-righteous while doing it, too. Hmmmm...come to think of it, this is the premise of a great many Clint Eastwood films over the years, isn't it?

So go ahead. Make my day. Please? Somebody? I have this need to kill something and feel good about it...

I saw Billy Jack on a double bill with Night of the Living Dead in about 1972 with a group of friends. I recall that I was the only one who thought Living Dead was the better film. Twenty nine years later, I'm still standing by that view.

So, we're talking awful music? I once learned Don't Cry For Me Argentina. OK, I was young, in love and in France, but it's not the sort of song a 6ft 2in bloke should sing - and particularly not in public and unaccompanied.
The real pisser is, I can still remember it perfectly while other, far better songs have fallen through the holes in my brain and are now lost forever.

I must confess that after listening to several Richard Thompson records that I still haven't figured out what all the fuss is about. I know that lots of Mudcatters think he walks on water but I still don't get it. Forgive me. Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa.

Richard Thompson is pretty cool, but then again I only have the Hand Of Kindness album. Now who I REALLY can't understand is Jethro Tull. I've probably listened to a more varied array of rock groups, and I still can't see why folks seem to think they're so wonderful. They sound pretty much like a regular 70's rock band. I think most of their fans like them because they're pagan and there aren't many pagan rock bands out there. Or something.

Matt R - perhaps you could avail yourself of a friend who might have about twenty or more and have a listen. I don't mean to sound trite, but I have always found that I can usually gain at least some appreciation for most tunes if I listen to them five times without attempting to judge them. Of course, some tunes are just plain crap - I have my predjudices too.

In any case, perhaps you have listened to Tull at length and decided they are not for you. As for me, I can't get enough, although some of their tunes suck big time.

OMIGOD! I used to love Rod McKuen too! And I forgot to add the worst thing..............I used to own Tiny Tim's LP, Tiptoe Through the Tulips. I didn't buy it, honest, my brother found it in a dumpster (along with a lot of other stuff) and brought it home. The Other Stuff included Arlo's Alice album, Brewer and Shipley's Tarkio Road album and a new copy of Sgt. Peppers.........does that redeem me? (I don't even know what happened to the Tiny Tim, I probably put it back in a dumpster somewhere, a nonny mouse-ly....)

Firstly, Kim C: You haven't LIVED until you've had Garlic mayo on you french fries. I wasn't too keen on the mayo/fries thing 'til I tried this. Just once in a while, or you'll get sick of it.

Burke: Nutella is this jar of hazlenut chocolate spread. You han either have it runny on bread/dip stuff into it OR you can leave it in the 'fridge and eat chunks of it. It's a clinically recognized (yeahrright!) cure for PMT/PMS. What's even cooler is that the jar is like a decorative glass, so when you've finished, you can wash it and use it as a glass. You'll never be short of something to drink from in our house!!!

If you like mayo on fries/chips, try it with black pudding - it's delicious. Almost as nice, in fact, as bitter orange marmalade with sausages.

To all you freaks who put mayo on their peanut butter sandwiches - URRRGHH! That is truly sinful.

Dearest Matt - make sure the two Tull albums you own are Heavy Horses and Songs From the Wood - they're fantastic. On the subject of sin I won't slate your liking for Oasis, as I think I saw you slip a Gomez quote in on another thread and I love Gomez.

Mickey/chordstrangler's right about Patrick Kavanagh being a grumpy auld shite (what was the esteemed poet's reaction?), and there's nothing to be ashamed of with the bagpipe band - I have family members who play the bagpipes. He's not absolved from the BeeGee album though.

I like Neil Diamond, although I've never seen him in concert like Allan C. I especially like Cracklin' Rose.

My worst sin? I own a guitar and can't play it, though I strumm it ineffectually every couple of days, and I will go to lessons, but these days I'm out of the country more often than in.
