Hard News: One man’s Meat Puppets is…, in reply to Lilith __,
by being prepared to cross the floor for the anti-nuclear issue, she did help precipitate the 1984 snap election.
Until then she propped up a government full of homophobic rednecks. I could never figure out how she reconciled herself with that.

How did the band's name come about? It gave an air of menace (which I liked).

Mapplethorpe shot the Horses cover, and some of the other good pics of Patti Smith. I read her book but can't remember much that I didn't know, which I picked up along the way somehow. Their relationship appeared a rather standard one of that sort -- probably startling for many people. I saw an exhibition in London of his work; some edgy stuff, some elegaic. But as a former sub-editor I have a Britannica-sized memory of all sorts of random facts that I'm never sure where they came from (I do sift for source though and immediately discard the unreliable).

Dylan, who I rate as a lyricist but do not enjoy hearing sing
I could not abide Dylan until I went with beloved to a Dylan/Patti Smith concert in about 1999. I came out a convert. He does seem to put out a crap album or two then a good one in a repeating cycle. Patti Smith was amazing, worth waiting 20 years for. I haven't seen live band since that equalled it (unless you count the Wiggles when my three-year-olds were struck dumb by the appearance on stage of The Big Red Car).

The idea that people are watching but speaking is incomprehensible to me -- a bit over 600 posts and 10,000 views. Imagine if they all joined in...

But then ELO could never do any bad in my books,
Jackie, our relationship was showing signs of promise. I'll really try not to notice that statement. But I'll have to try very very hard.

There seems to be a growing consensus that Lou & Metallica is the worst thing ever recorded (and no, please don't hit play on that clip.
How could I resist that challenge. The only use I can find for it is helping along the Christchurch CBD demolitions if played loud.
Ooh this thread is soo much fun, thank you all very much for the earworms.

I should report you for that.

I can't watch that Lou Reed Metallica clip -- on the first frame he looks too much like Paul Holmes for it to be comfortable.
