23 May 2008--it's...1971

[RGMike]

the next song will be by a former Beatle.

And so it comes to pass. My first thought was "George?" followed quickly by "Ringo?" And it turns out I was right on both counts (I believe George plays guitar on IDCE).

Have you ever heard George's demo version of "It Don't Come Easy"?  It's as good as Ringo's release.  I'll email it to you if the file size isn't an issue.

Don't mail it to me, I've heard it (size is *always* an issue).  But you're right, it's very cool -- I didn't find out until recently George had written it, but when you hear George's version, you can totally imagine it on All Things Must Pass.

BOS Pink Floyd Run Like Hell, er, whatever it's called.

I've got 2 sets in the Db that kick of by Going Mobile, and the other one has Macca, his uncle & the admiral in the #2 slot.

Urth, this is a fantastic set form late '06, and it's not archived.

Hint Hint (unless you already packed up all your gear).

Not yet but I'm just about to--I'll see what I can do.

[RGMike]

Mondegreens come easy for Ringo:

"I don't ask for much, I only want a crust"

"this rubber vine keeps growin' all the time"

(Hey, they made sense to me when I was 15)

I still hear the latter as "book of lies" rather than "book of lines,"

?? it's neither, afaik: "this LOVE OF MINE keeps growing all the time..."

Urth, are you moving this weekend?  Wishing you as little stress as possible in the process.

Not this weekend, but we're in major packing mode now. Moving day is June 4.

Yes, I'd love to hear it. Send to my sonic.net addy, please.

Ha!  Thanks for correcting; that one makes more sense.

Man, time's flying.  I'll find a way to hook up with you next week & give back the CD's I've got.

TANC, Nixon goes to China and Rod goes with him to help him across the Peking ferry.

[RGMike]

Rod's back on the Peking ferry, feeling up Mary. VHM.

"mah body stunk, but ah kept mah funk!" Ewww.

Peking Ferry JINX!

ETA:  I've been to Beijing*, and afaik there are no ferries (or any bodies of water for that matter) anywhere nearby.

*pet peeve time:  the 'j' sound in the capital of China is exactly the same as in 'jingle', short and sharp, not this mushy French sounding 'j' as in 'du jour'.  Yet every western talking head insists on mispronouncing it while looking smug like they are so sophisitcated.  In fact Mandarin has that exact sound, but it is written as 'zh', and in fact the vowel sound that can follow the 'j' and the 'zh' are mutually exclusive, so only a 'j' can come before an 'i'.

Man, you have no idea. Last I looked it was May 1, and now it's nearly June. The weeks are flying like hours.

That'd be great--I should be home most evenings next week, I think.

Btw, BOS to Ringo, Rod, and the Floyd. I'm reading Nick Mason's memoir right now--pretty interesting, and well written too. I'm told he wrote it himself, no ghost.

Every picture tells a story doughnut...

You slide so good with bones so fair
You've got the universe reclining in your hair

Betcha Mike thinks this is a Katrina, but in fact we haven't heard "Jeepster" since this exact set aired back in Nov '06.  And only 3 times total.
