The London Underground is NOT a political movement!

-Don't call me stupid!

It's hard to think of a group from the last 50 years who have written and performed more influential Rock and Roots music, and who fewer people know by name than "The Band". I just don't get it. I guess part of the answer is the fact that they pretty much dropped off the map completely after "The Last Waltz" in 1976.

I've mentioned to several friends over the past couple of days just how saddened I was by Levon's death, and the inevitable response is "Who?".

But everybody knows the music. Maybe that's enough.

As for Levon- he's on his way to Venus to meet his son Jesus.

I don't think it would be a stretch to compare Earl Scruggs to Jimi Hendrix. Like Hendrix, Scruggs literally changed how his instrument was played- changed it forever. Also while both Hendrix and Scruggs may not have invented the techniques and styles they used, they certainly both popularized and perfected them with a combination of virtuosity and showmanship.

Well, it's over now. Levon Helm died this afternoon April 19, 2012.

RIP sir. *promote

Cenk's a little off base with this one. It was a stupid, insensitive and incorrect comment and can't really be defended without making it sound worse- as illustrated by Rosen's "clarification" statement. Do the appropriate Mea Culpa thing and move on so we can discuss more important matters.

As much as I don't like Hannity; I don't think he was at fault here.


Fault? What fault? The point, at least in my mind, is that there should be no "fault" in saying fuck. Prior restraint is nonsense, and a well-placed expletive can emphasize any point when used appropriately.

From a cotton farm in Turkey Scratch Arkansas to the very pinnacle of the music world. 71 year old Levon Helm will soon be gone. Thought I'd post this tribute song written by Elton John from his 1971 album "Madman Across the Water".

Story here. http://www.ottawacitizen.com/Entertainment/Music/6474166/story.html

From the above story "Born May 26, 1940, in Turkey Scratch, Arkansas, the son of cotton farmers, he learned to play guitar and drums as a child. By 17 he was appearing in honky tonks in and around nearby Helena and taking in performance by such southern legends as Conway Twitty, Elvis Presley, Bo Diddley, and Ronnie Hawkins.

He joined Hawkins’ rockabilly band The Hawks just before they moved to Canada in the late 1950s.

In the early 1960s, Helm and Hawkins recruited Canadians Robbie Robertson (guitar), Rick Danko (bass) and pianist Richard Manuel and organist Garth Hudson. They left Hawkins and toured as Levon and the Hawks before backing Bob Dylan in the mid-60s. Fans weren’t initially receptive to Dylan’s switch from acoustic folky to electric folk-rocker, and Helm headed back south, working on offshore oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico for a couple of years until bassist Rick Danko asked him to rejoin the group that would become known around the world as, simply, The Band"

We train young men to drop fire on people, but we won't let them say fuck on television because it's obscene!

I don't understand.

Nothing new about that though.

For me the difference between the Hippies and Hipsters presented in this video is summed up by one thing:

I didn't watch this wishing I coulp punch the Hippies in the face.
