Comment on never travel far without a little big star (rip alex chilton) by dbf65

Very eerie for me. Last week (for some reason that now rattles a bit), I listened to #1 and Radio City to and from work — every day. My commute is just long enough to get all the way through the two. At the end of the week, I also decided to finally plunk down for the Box Set. And then this out of nowhere.

FYI: This from Sirius’ E Street Radio site. I’m not sure if this show is new or has been played before. Either way, it sounds like interesting radio for Springsteen/Moore fans:

“You looked for those records in someone’s collection the first time you went to their house to see if they were worth knowing.”

So true. If you don’t know #1 Record and Radio City inside and out you don’t know squat.

I friggin’ love you Caryn.

I agree that we have won, but I don’t think we need the R&RHOF to legitimize The Stooges. Or any band for that matter. Chuck, Aretha, Jerry Lee, Joe, Pete, John, Paul, Iggy, Bruce, Bob, Patti. They are the cornerstones with or without any HOF. If you are a fan of the music, you know who rocks and who doesn’t. And if you’re not, no HOF is going to convince you that you should be. Just my 2 cents…

Caryn, thanks very much for being one of the only sources, if not the only source, for news and insights on this major musical event. I had hoped to travel to NYC with my fourteen-year-old niece to see this all-ages show, but circumstances unfortunately prevented it from happening. I’m very pleased to read that Sam Moore is still in fine form. He certainly sounds great on the video-clip you provided, and the HBO video of his appearance at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concerts last October is earth-shaking.

Here’s hoping this show eventually leads to a tour, giving more of Sam’s fans a chance to see him live. As you may know already, Sam appeared with his wife Joyce on E Street Radio’s Live from E Street Nation with Dave Marsh on the Friday before this show. They announced the upcoming reissue/”re-marketing” of his 2006 album Overnight Sensational (featuring his duet with Bruce Springsteen on “Better To Have and Not Need”). Perhaps Sam will tour as part of this reissue, giving those of us who missed this show a chance to see him and his band do their stuff.

The conversation with Marsh was very loose, but also very interesting, funny and moving. Sam, Joyce and Dave discussed Sam’s live performances with Bruce, the stuff that Sam and Bruce recorded for Human Touch that we haven’t heard (yet), Joyce’s efforts to help Jackie Wilson in his final days, etc. For those who missed it, I’ve posted a temporarily available mp3 download of it. It’ll be up for the next fourteen days at this URL:

Moore/Springsteen fans may also be interested in checking out Dave Marsh’s brief, interesting book with Sam Moore called For The Record: Sam and Dave – An Oral History (ISBN: 0-380-79375-X).

Hi Geoff,

I WISH You had seen my book. You have not seen it yet because no one has bought it yet. I keep wanting to self-publish but my agent really, really thinks she will package it with my next novel so she keeps asking me to hold off. One way or another it will be out some day.

I do know about Karen Rose because I see her ads on the subway all the time.

Thanks for reading & commenting!

Hi, I don’t remember how I got here, but I’ve been reading for about an hour and a half now! Reckoning’s my favorite, too. (I really like
Seven Chinese Brothers, and Voice of Harold cracks me up every time.) I have never been much of a scenester, but I did see them in Gainesville (FL’s Athens) on that tour and remember them as being really great, even though I was disappointed Buck wasn’t playing a Rickenbacker. The last song was “Moon River” which was pretty wtf to a 20 yr old, but at least I recognized it!

I’ve seen your book but didn’t get it (I’m cheap), but now I’ll have to get back on the lookout.

By the way, Karen Rose is the pen name of a RomanticThriller novelist who writes stuff like Kill For Me and Die For Me and so forth. What’s weird is I actually met her a couple years ago ‘cos our kids are internet pals. It’s like a lattice of coincidence!

(OK, just looked at youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBBeqJZ80F8 and what do we see but a FUCKING RICKENBACKER. Bye.)
