"I believe that Bruce's quotes about being in it for the money are mostly the way he found to protect his own sanity from wacky band members and fans."
Got to be. Let's face it, he's not short of money. It's not like he's got eight ex-wives to pay off. He must get an income from his own stuff and isn't he independently wealthy due to his adopted parents? Maybe he just enjoys this stuff. Perhaps the reason Carl and Bruce might not have got on is that Bruce isn't exactly adventurous. After all, here's the band member who already had a successful career independent of the BB yet, with the exception of one album, he's done nothing as a solo artist since 1965 (yeah, yeah, I know he's worked with others). Maybe he just likes doing what he does.

If there's anything good to be saud for this album, it's because of My Diane and a couple of other songs - and Jardine's production papering over the cracks. Oh yeah, and I like the pictures on the front and back...
We'll have to agree to differ on Matchpoint. "Matchpoint... Matchpoint... Matchpoint..." Crap.

Kinda sad that Roy Wood's career never took off in the same way, beyond a few extremely well-crasted solo singles and those with Wizzard. Who knows? Maybe he's happy with the way things turned out, but when you see some of the 'talent' (old and new) currently doing the rounds, it makes you wonder.

"educated"?
Hey, discuss GIOMH again, if you want to discuss a BW album that sucks, or be negative to a project by the Boys themselves and hammer SIP, or settle on the Lovester and have a go at LBWL or all that crap he did with Adrian Baker or Dean Torrence or his fucking awful Christmas song, go ahead, but I've already done that. This isn't a new album, it's a neat recording of one of his most famous songs for a project that required just that, by the sound of it. I don't know whether BW has it in him to play with the arrangement of his classics any more, but as the guy's done so much and is pushing 65 (and I've already got the Wally Heider GOK), I'm not particularly stressed.

Might've been better if he hadn't contributed at all then some of you wankers might've been satisfied. You get the feeling if BW turned up and sang GOK in your living room, note for note perfection, you'd still bitch. Don't buy the CD if you don't like it. It sounds like a reasonable product and keeps our boy busy, and with the exception of Richard Marx (he was the unfunny one, right?), he's in decent company. I mean, I'd like to think he's still got a great album in him, but I doubt it, but this is by no means a disgrace.

I think you're too harsh on two or three tracks there, AGD, especially Hold on Dear Brother and How She Boogalooed It. I guess they've got to be released, so no Battle Hymn of the Republic... Hey Little Tomboy TM Song Matchpoint of our Love Belles of Paris Summer of Love California Calling Crack at Your Love Here Comes the Night (LA version) Remember (Walking in the Sand) Island Fever Solar System Passing Friend Everyone's in Love with You Make it Big Plus all of LBWL, most of GIOMH and most of Youngblood  |
