Good thing I have a previously scheduled dental appointment on Tuesday morning, because I think there’s a root canal in my future.
Follow-up: Yep! It’s a root canal for moi.
Surge, Brian! More surge!
CNN has a nice feature on Brian Wilson.
The title of this post is an in-joke between myself and Denro. “More surge!” was something that Brian’s father Murry would yell at Brian before he was banished from the studio. Is it any wonder that Brian turned to self-medication?
Te-boned
God doesn’t get involved with football. If He were going to do that, it should have been to prevent the tragedy at Penn State.
Abbey Road notes
A few Beatles-related items:
- Mike Smith has passed away. He was the A&R man who, on January 1, 1962, signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes to Decca Records, instead of the Beatles.
- Back in October I noted that EMI was going to be bought by the rich Russian who bought Warner Music. But a last-minute deal between EMI and Universal Music was worked out.
- Kevin Ryan and Brian Kehew, co-authors of Recording the Beatles, have sold out four talks at EMI’s Abbey Road recording studios on the 80-year history of the facility.
Pity the poor web master
I have great sympathy for what Mark Evanier’s been going through getting WordPress working for his popular NewsfromME blog, having been through all of this myself.
77 if
Elvis Presley would have been 77 years old today. The age my mother was when she passed away.
