She's busy moving out of that house of hers, so I doubt if she'd sit down to this right now. I'll mention it next time we talk.Actually she may be out here in around ten days. Re Bill Graham, I always thought of him as the r&r counterpart to Joe Papp--similar strengths, similar weaknesses. But being in the pop culture business, he was never taken with the same seriousness. There was no Shakespeare in the Park for Bill though he tried as much with the Lincoln Center shows in the early 70s. Who was the "talent"? The WHO? [Read entire topic]

It would be good to get Candace in on this, because of all the people I talked to about Bill Graham she was the one who had the least patience for his monomania, or moments of monomania, and his need for admiration, etc. But even she seems to feel a real fondness when she rememebers certain moments thogether, like breaking out the the "stash" (the confiscated booze) togehter after New Year Eve's shows and running the night backwards for each other. heir mutual love of "show," of shows.

Bill was one of my hero's too... relating to an earlier thread His book gave me much insite to NYE shows and one person in particular always reminding folks not to forget the parsley... :-)

I was teaching CPR to a group of folks for BGP the day his death was announced. Several of us drove over to Marin, past his house to pay tribute to a man, that truly cared about the music. I think he would be appalled at the idea of a *new* Filmore in Denver. While he was a marketeer, up there with the best of them, I found his scrupples endearing to the fans, and tried not to make reality too plastic or odd. [Read entire topic]

re the clubfoot story: it wouldn't have been a single dose of LSD. Could have been BZ (see Ch 5 in Sweet Chaos) or DMZ, or if LSD then laced with god knows what. And you're right. A "single" dose? I like the AP story because it shows Coby looking up at me with the loving eyes that only a dog can muster. [Read entire topic]
