Title: from the professor Re: history of music in LA bibliography Post by: the professor on December 13, 2013, 08:27:45 AM sad state of affairs that B and M can't show pictures of the boys during their shows. . . .thinking of how I felt last year when the main issue of the moment was how good my seats were at Irvine and what freeway to take to get to the BB shows. . .
I am about to get on a plane and plan to listen to 6 hours of BB music, finding refuge in the past because the future is so bleak. . I want to end the year with questions and observations: 1. TWGMTR is better than many of us had thought. Now, 2 years later, it's a sweet melodious, contemplative record head to toe that should be listened to over and over again, driving, on the beach, grading papers (you supply the tasks); it reaches the heart. Question: did we ever get a full accounting of musical and parts? Even confirm Dave playing on Strange World, as he claimed he did though he is un-credited? Sax on the title cut, etc. 2. Are Mike and Brian talking? What force, what agent, if any, has an interest in "more reunion shows" and another album? I would liek to have something to hope for in the new year. 3. to the announced topic itself: Planning to teach a class about the BB, Doors, and Richie Valens, so I plan to do some critical thinking and reading on that musical nexus in LA; any bibliographic references would be appreciated. Sad, tragic and joyous all at once. best and thanks to all for the Holidays from The Professor.

Mike & Brian are constantly talking - just, not to each other right now. I think, barring a seismic shift in support systems, the reunion is a closed book. As it should be. The only "force" with a vested interested in prolonging it would be us, here.
