Quote: " folk music is just a bunch of fat people singing." If you want a hoot(enanny) about folk music, "A Mighty Wind" is a must see movie. Some of the funniest satirical singing you'll ever hear ! Ern

Quote: Some of the funniest satirical singing you'll ever hear !Wait til you hear me It's like a novelist writing far out things. If it makes a point and makes sense, then people like to read that. But if it's off in left field and goes over the edge, you lose it. The same with musical talent, I think.~ Johnny Cash

It always makes me laugh whenever I see old footage of the Carpenters. Very often the camera would start off with a closeup of Karen singing. Then it would zoom out and she's drumming at the same time!! It's such a contradiction to see this girl with such a sweet laid back voice drumming to these great songs that it cracks me up every time! Apparently she used to cut her drums and vocals at the same time. Very impressive if that's true.

Good 'ol Hunter. I'll never forget seeing him being interviewed by Conan O'Brien. He would only do the interview if certain conditions were fulfilled. So it took place in the middle of the (Nevada?) desert in searing heat. There was an outdoor cocktail bar set up with a bartender in tuxedo and a temporary firing range with an array of firearms. The chaps sipped drinks while trying out the weapons. The most frightening part came when Hunter was firing off the Gatling gun... Ridiculous!
