Epic - wow. Bravo!

2 years gone. Thank you Neil :)

2 years. :(

thats very cool.

He seemed almost unable to control himself, a testament to their absolute trust in each other? Like, I don't always have to been in control of my emotions, at least not around these two clowns! A "safe space" and as a fan I feel absolutely lucky that it made it to the cut. Absolutely.

Every so often I still watch "Dinner with Rush." I happened to be watching it the other day and was busy in the next room and just listened to it. When you aren't looking at them and just listening it becomes obvious that Neil's laugh is the loudest, bellowing and at times almost "crying with laughter." I encourage you to try this as an experiment and enjoy Neil's laughter.

I was wondering and want to check it out...

Well said. I re-read Masked Rider and it made me think about him.

This one: Come On, Children Alex, the angry teen... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M977GFRWDmY Full Doc: That's the same stock footage as used in Beyond the Lighted Stage, isn't it? Yeah, where he said his parents were actually right. lol

I won’t deny there is a lot of assholery in Clapton’s life, but you might want to examine whether he actually stole Harrison’s wife. From Wikipedia: In March 1970, a month before the Beatles' break-up, Boyd moved with Harrison to Friar Park, a Victorianneo-Gothic mansion in Henley-on-Thames.[92] By this point, Harrison's devotion to Indian spirituality, particularly the Hare Krishna movement, had begun to divide the couple.[78][93] They were also unsuccessful in starting a family, and Harrison would not consider adoption.[94][nb 8] Boyd resumed her modelling career in May 1971, in defiance of Harrison's spiritual convictions.[96][97] In 1973, she had an affair with Facesguitarist Ronnie Wood[98] while Harrison romanced Wood's wife Krissie.[99] Boyd said her decision to leave Harrison, in July 1974, was based largely on his repeated infidelities, culminating in his affair with [Ringo] Starr's wife Maureen, which Boyd called "the final straw". No question that George bears plenty of the blame for the dissolution of his marriage himself, as is usually true. But, without checking the sources, that certainly reads like it came from Boyd or people sympathetic to her. Clapton didn't break up their marriage, but Clapton definitely made his feelings for her known for a long time before their marriage ended (George once famously asked Patti at a party if she was coming home or going home with Clapton), and in the end, he did end up marrying her. Speaking for myself, if I were single, I would NEVER date a good friend's ex-wife. Great music. Indeed. FTFY. FTFY. lol

The issue isn't really about whether the artist gets paid for the show that was recorded. The issue is payment for the commercial use of a song he or she or they wrote. Billy Squier is one of the most financially successful recording artists ever, not because of record sales or concert receipts, but because one of his songs was so widely used in sampling by rap artists. If you watch the excellent Go-Gos documentary, Jane Wiedlin talks about how important it was that their relatively inexperienced manager knew enough to hold onto their publishing rights to We Got the Beat. Don't get me wrong, I love bootlegs myself, but I can see why artists don't. I'm not a guitarist myself, and I don't get the Clapton love, but EVH worshipped him (even though Clapton was a jerk to Eddie). I always just assume that there's something about his playing that I just don't see. He married George's ex-wife, which was a scumbag move IMO. As far as his politics may go, there are a lot of artists I love whose opinions on politics I don't share. I never let that influence my feelings about their music. But in the cases of both Billy Squire and the Go-Go's those are recordings they made themselves that got sampled and used in commercials. Not bootlegs someone took of the artists at a live show. I don't think it's really comparable. Sure you may have written the song, but someone's going to play it for someone else who hasn't heard it at some point, and that person's not going to go and buy tickets to see your show or their own copy if you slap a lawsuit on them. I understand music copyright law is tricky though, but it also just seems way simpler to let the bootleggers be. They aren't causing any real harm. Not like Spotify is. Of course it's the same, just not on the same scale as Spotify or Apple Music. But the concept is exactly the same. The woman is selling Clapton's songs, which is what the buyer is paying for, without receiving licensing permission from him. If I write a song, and copyright it, you can't use it for any commercial purpose unless you get my permission. If the bootleggers want to share the music, that's one thing. If they want to sell it, that's another. Well even if it is the same (which I disagree with, but I guess that's a personal opinion), going after bootleggers still seems pointless to me. And mean. I agree that it's punching down. What he did is obviously legal (he did, after all, win a lawsuit) but that's not the same as "right." Clapton could have simply had the eBay listing removed and merely threatened her with legal action should he find her listing it again. That would have gotten the message across. Also, you have to figure she didn't know that it's bad form to sell concert bootlegs. Yes - this would have solved the problem without being a total c=nt. As Goose pointed out, Clapton’s lawyers did this and the woman decided that she would ignore the legal demands to desist and she wanted to go to court so that she could sell an illegal bootleg and earn about $10. She could have ended this at any time without any consequence to her, but she wanted a fight and got one. Wasnt aware. That wasnt smart either.

The world is a cage for your impotent rage, But don't let it get to you Brilliant line in a song many don't like - but absolute gold imo. And so applicable now...

Really enjoyed this. If you're a Wes Anderson fan its absolute gold.

I came across this while searching for an old post, and had to bump it because it is GLORIOUS :wub: Thank you for bumping this! Still probably the greatest post in the thread. Every once in a while I just think about how Geddy absolutely killed that count off. There may never be a better count off in all of rock and roll. Thats tremendous I havent hears that in years.
