The Homeless cave thing reminds me of things I've heard about Eden Ahbez ('Natue Boy' composer) on the West Coast.
- One sometimes tends to think of later eras as being 'wilder' - or progressively more 'Liberated' - but this reminds me - not necessarily so. The earliest Rock'n'Rollers were whiskey-drinkin' hillbillies scorned &/or lampooned by the Northern Urbans for egs. (shades of last week's Steve Allen talk)...

Driving back from Maryland Sunday before last on the Turnpike and in central Jersey around noon I stopped for the cheaper-than-NYC Turnpike gas topoff. Dude filling and doing windows comes to the diver door and asks, Is that your WFMU sticker? I'm like, Yeah I do listen to it quite a bit and sometimes comment on the discussion boards during shows. He's like, Yeah, me and my son listen a lot, too, I've even thrown them some bucks when I have extra, but not right now, ya know. I'm like, Yeah, it's rough for everybody the last few years, I could tell you plenty of stories, but there's a line behind me. I asked for the back window to be wiped (wiper's been broken back there for 7-8 years), and threw him a 20.

Si. Have the actual item on the desk to my left. It will go up on the future WFMU West Koast Klubhouse wall, along with a hand colored record from Joe McGasko.

Leipzig - it takes place here every Pentecost weekend (yes, Pentecost Monday is a public holiday here). Kind of takes over the whole town.

Sehr schön, Leipzig! Didn't know Pfingsten could be so Goth!

Pfingsten is always Goth - and June is the annual Bach-Fest. Something for everyone...

@Matt: He's probably comfy in his retirement. I saw him speak at a book-signing he was doing for childrens' stories that he wrote. He talked about that poem (he wrote it), and had a great story about hitting the huge gong afterward.

Well there is a Neo-Gothic church nearby, and I think they have some Goth Festival stuff there, but a lot of it is on stages in the parks, etc. and people dressed up everywhere. For real Gothic architecture, you'd have to go another city with more of a medieval core.

Moody Blues passes for prog rock? I think it's more acid rock because you can sometimes spot the blues in the Moody Blues, something no self-respecting conservatory trained prog musician would do.

- Critique is Legit - no need to Ban the Brain w/ Music
- but Music relates to so many aspects of our Selves (contempo brain research suggests it may engage more dif. parts of the brain than any other activity).
- A Critic may be articulate, but simply have dif. tastes. You might even use a Critic as a Tool (jokes? anyone?) because you *know* you disagree w/ this person...
- I wonder what insightful people would say about how the role of the Music Critic has changed along w/ everything else w/ Technology (like what we're doing here);
- There use to be this Triangle of Artist-Fan-Critic - & people spent a lot of energy trying to come to terms w/ what that meant & talking about it...

Good question RR: I think the modern age of communication (what we are doing here) has dismantled many of the boundaries between these roles. Anyone can be a critic (here or elsewhere) can perform publicly (think Youtube, etc.), and shift from one role to another everywhere.

Justin Hayward wrote Wildest Dreams. They were remarkably egalitarian. Everyone in that band had about 10 or 12 great songs.

Moodys a very good example of Transition of Psych to Prog (I think it were Mick Farren who said something like 'Prog' was just a pretentious term for people who didn't want to admit they were druggies anymore...)
- w/ Sgt. Pepper Beatle-isms the immeadiate precedent.
- Sometimes I think even 'Pet Sounds' is a major step in the Prog direction - if 'Prog' means taking Rock'n'Roll seriously. If one thinks of Brian Wilson as a Crossroads of Phil Spector & King Crimson, no one he folded under the pressure...But then, Phil Spector already took his thing pretty seriously (in his cracked unmethodical way) - using all kinds of instruments & Production techniques....

Lovely place to end the show. Definitely going to back to the 'chives and give the Moondog segment a closer listen. The rest of the show was up to your usual top standards.

BTW, the more I look at that dog bumper sticker, the more I suspect that it's a canine representation of Irwin doing his Led Zeppeling routine from H&M. Obviously Niall McCormack has psychic powers to be able to predict the performance years in advance...

Hi Irwin - listening again to your very interesting interview with Robert Scotto and hearing Bird's Lament again I realized that it's used by Mr. Scruff in a tune they call Get a Move On. It pops up on a remix album by Fila Brazilla that's on my Ipod.

Thanks to Amaury Cornut, a Moondog scholar from France, for providing titles for some of the previously unidentified works. His website is:
