Just realised while clearing up a pile of books that it's Charlie Gillett who wrote The Sound of the City, the very in-depth book about American music, 1945-'71.

I finally met Graham Reid at Christmas after reading him for decades, and the one thing I wanted to say to him was to thank him for turning me on to Big Star in '92. Still some of my most favourite records. Highly recommended discs.
Nice to talk to Jimmy a bit on Wed.; good guy. I told him he had a great name for blues singer, and he replied that he'd heard that, or something like it, a lot.

Except for the very small detail that Fascism is predicated exactly on forbidding whole categories of people to have a say on what's right and wrong.
That's what I'm saying!
