BOS to "Mr. Soul."  I'm embarrassed that for years I thought "Jumpin' Jack Flash" had come out first and that this was the riff rip-off.

BOS3 to the JA.  BTW, my EMP proposal on them was rejected, but I am nevertheless attending their Pop Conference in Seattle this spring (Mark, I don't suppose you can conspire to be in Seattle that week?).

We've had this discussion, and I think Mike is taking my side that they were being snidely dismissive of all things "rock."

I'll do my best, but it would require a fair amount of luck.

we've had this discussion before. I question how sarcastic they're being, but either way, it's one of the least "rock'n'roll" songs ever recorded about rock'n'roll.

No question about it, but that means their use of the word 'groovy' was part of the snide sarcasm. So I'm unclear on Mike's point.

Who holds the rights to "MMT" (the film)? Is it in a vault somewhere? I've never seen it, I can't remember the last time it was shown anywhere.

per WIkipedia:

The film was first shown in the United Kingdom as a made-for-television film on the BBC; it was shown in black-and-white on BBC1, then in colour on BBC2 a few days later. The poor critical reaction to the telecast soured American television networks from acquiring the film, while its one-hour running length made it commercially unviable for theatrical release. It wasn't seen in the US until 1976, when New Line Cinema acquired the rights for limited theatrical and non-theatrical distribution; it wasn't seen on American television until the 1980s in syndication. The critical reception in 1967 had been so poor that no one had properly archived a negative, and the re-release version had to be copied from poor-quality prints. By the end of the 1980s, MPI (via rights holder Apple Corps) had released the movie on video, and a DVD release followed many years later. An official rerelease is due out sometime in 2008.

Thanks! I was hoping somebody (VH-1?) might do something for the 40th anniv recently.  But I'm sure it'll be shown there or on PBS to promote the re-release.
