No idea why but Petty got me to remember this:

I love Weird Al's 'Bob', but a lot of people don't know that it's a spoof on another level, copying what Dylan did himself back in 1965.

There is another spoof on my speakers now but the language in it won't fly here with all probability You can always find Dutch Rudders - In A Field laying around on the web. If you have a taste for rc helicopters then the spoof is pretty ace. Darn hot day. Time for Toots & The Maytals - 54-46 Was My Number Last edited by Von Due; 08-05-16 at 02:23 PM. |

"The Bed"... Lou Reed
Quote:
Those of us who thought ourselves detached and rather superior were often attracted to the nihilistic counter-culture of the 'Velvets' and Andy Warhol. 'The Bed' Though from a later time, later even than Transformer, this track from Berlin still gives an unnerving glimpse into that unique world. Don't listen to it in the dark:

It is really good to see Bowie performing with Mick Ronson, his fellow Spider. There are several versions of the compete show on YouTube, most of horrific quality; this is the best I could find: Quote:
About 12 years ago, I was working at an office and some of us got into a conversation about music lyrics and I recited the lyrics to "Subterranean Homesick Blues" (my memory was much better then) and when I had finished, a young African-American guy, about 21-22 years old, said "Wow, who wrote that? That guy can really rap!" Imagine his surprise when I told him that bad ass rapper was Dylan... Here is an alternate take of the song: The song spawned many parodies: Formula 1 Racing: Sasquatch: The song and its influence is timely, even today: SuperDelegate Sellout Blues: Quote:
Lou Reed - Good night Ladies Here is a taste of the real deal: Lotte Lenya - Mack The Knife (in German): <O>

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...3&postcount=41 Always in search of the esoteric, it didn't take me long to discover Die Dreigroschenoper... "The Threepenny Opera"... Brecht and Weill, and, unaccountably, find this stuff (even as a 20 year-old) compelling in a way that was somehow similar to the appeal of the Velvet Underground. Now I see why. Another prized CD is from Columbia Records 'Masterworks', featuring Lenya singing a whole raft of Theatre songs by Weill, Paul Dessau, John Kander and Hanns Eisler.

I'm also a big fan of Ute Lemper; I have quite a few of her recordings and a number of the videos she released in the past. I first heard of her on a 24 hour satellite TV network, Classic Arts Showcase, a local PBS station, KCET, here in Los Angeles broadcasts in the wee hours of the night, usually from about 2:00 AM to about 5:00 AM. Some years ago, as a cost cutting measure, KCET cancelled the overnight broadcast and suffered a very severe push back from the viewers; KCET grossly underestimated how popular the program was and, since the station depends on contributions from the viewers, faced a big hit to their revenue; needless to say, they reversed their decision. Classic Arts Showcase isn't just about classical music; they feature clips from rare and classic films from around the world, experimental films and music from all eras, and some just very interesting oddities and whimsies. The network was created and funded by a philanthropist who wanted to bring the best in music, art, film, and performance to the viewing public for free. I just now revisited their website and found they now offer their programming streaming over the Net, again, for free. For those of you who may be curious, here is a link:

An additional Velvet Underground muse came to mind: Edie Sedgwick. She was also a muse for Andy Warhol and others in the New York underground scene. She was very beautiful and frail and deeply flawed. The Velvet's song Femme Fatale was reportedly written about Edie; many years later, she was the subject of The Cult's song Edie (Ciao Baby). She had a very tragic life, from the time she was born to the day of her death...
