Re: Antigravity CD

[chris kemp <cjkemp@gm...com>]

I agree. I'm an author and my first book will be published next spring. So 
I
suppose that makes me an artist too. I'm struggling to find ways to get
people to read it. I can't imagine thinking to myself: this took me a long
time and I'm proud of it, how can I make it as frustrating and inaccessible
as possible for potential readers.

me, somewhat underrehearsed, and the whole gig was probably the most
disjointed that I can remember. Fast forward to the Borderline gig this
June. Somebody shouted a request for a particular song, Gerard replied that
they didn't do requests anymore, and referred to the Dingwalls thing.

deal.

to Let it Be in 1970. Seven years, for all the drugs, the innovation and
experimentation, the invention of new sounds from nothing. This album can't
possibly be worth waiting as long as the Beatles entire catalog.
