it was my pleasure.

estela, Thursday, 19 November 2009 04:43 (sixteen years ago)

man gram doesn't come off well at all in the hotel california book i'm reading. he really bummed a lot of people out.

scott seward, Thursday, 19 November 2009 18:46 (sixteen years ago)

there's an early - prob international submarine band era - vid clip of gram performing on a boat - so he's prob 'luxury liner', really can't remember - where he does this terrible, i mean just awful, camp jagger impersonation, kinda punctured the myth a bit for me, for a while - but so glad i finally got to hear his vocal version of '100 years from now', one of the bonus tracks on the expanded edition of 'sweetheart'

i def remember an old ilx thread where lots of ppl were really slagging of 'sweetheart' and i was like :-((( so thanx for this thread folx

Ward Fowler, Thursday, 19 November 2009 19:39 (sixteen years ago)

prob singing 'luxury liner'

Ward Fowler, Thursday, 19 November 2009 19:40 (sixteen years ago)

i guess i always sorta suspected this? what little i know of his life (i'm vague on much other than "harvard dropout," "was in byrds," "liked drugs," and "friends stole body, supposedly?"), for some reason, made me assume that he was better at singing country than he was at conducting life

itdn put butt in the display name (gbx), Thursday, 19 November 2009 19:57 (sixteen years ago)

musician in blah blah blah shocka

It Ain't The Meme (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 19 November 2009 20:04 (sixteen years ago)

yeah, don't get me wrong. i like this album and the burritos stuff a bunch. just weird reading about how he was really a non-entity to a lot of people at that time. like an "oh is that guy still alive?" kinda thing. but, you know, its 1969! he wasn't taken seriously by a lot of people. the myth came later.

scott seward, Thursday, 19 November 2009 21:16 (sixteen years ago)

listenin to this bitch right now

wait are you talkin about this "older guys" clip? i have to admit to thinking it's sort of great. goofy, but great.

Delhomme 3030 (roxymuzak), Friday, 20 November 2009 22:12 (sixteen years ago)

feed them to the (Linden Ave) lions (will), Friday, 20 November 2009 22:35 (sixteen years ago)

i tried to cut my hair like gram once when i was wasted, but ive told that story on ilx like 3000 times. anyway its still growing out

Delhomme 3030 (roxymuzak), Friday, 20 November 2009 22:51 (sixteen years ago)

i always like that story, it was a good impulse.

estela, Saturday, 21 November 2009 01:43 (sixteen years ago)
