The survey by Madame Tussaud's, the company famous for its waxworks museums, placed Gallagher just behind Adolf Hitler and former Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic (news - web sites) on its most-hated personality list. Gallagher, whose quickfire temper has led to shouting matches with flight attendants, fans, fellow pop stars and the media, last year divorced from his wife, actress Patsy Kensit. Hussein, who led Iraq into the 1991 Gulf War and topped the most hated or feared poll last year, finished fourth on this year's list. British Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites), dogged by a recent slide in popularity at home, finished fifth behind Hussein. Blair was a no-show on the favorite politician list, which was topped by outgoing U.S. president Bill Clinton. For the survey, Tussaud's asked more than 800 visitors to vote in eight separate categories for personalities who have been immortalized in wax in one of its museums. Britain's Princess Diana, killed in a 1997 Paris car crash, retained her title as the favorite figure category, but lost to actress Catherine Zeta Jones (news - web sites) in the most beautiful person category. Pop singer Robbie Williams, who is embroiled in an ongoing war of words with Liam Gallagher, won in the hottest superstar, favorite entertainer and favorite artist categories. Williams, who has topped pop charts in Britain with his radio-friendly sound, recently challenged Gallagher to a televised boxing match with the proceeds going to charity. __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 11:23:35 EST From: HOODOO3005@aol.com Subject: REO/BOC/BFD In a message dated 1/6/01 4:37:56 AM Central Standard Time, my man Lenny sez: > Actually, didn't they start kinda metal, and then go big for the bloated > power ballad thing? Didn't they have an early moment of glory with "O.D.'d > on Life Itself" 1) Excuse me if someone else said this already, but I think it was Blue Oyster Cult who did the "O.D." song. And they were good, once---I'm no BOC expert, but I kinda like their earlier stuff, pre-"Don't Fear The Reaper." 2) And yes, REO did start out as your typical speedway hard-rock band before they got so slick. The only reason I have their second album is because of "Golden Country," an extended guitar showcase which is like an American "Stairway To Heaven." I have no use for the band after this (and a 1979 guilty pleasure called "Only The Strong Survive"). Minus these two, I agree with most everyone else on this list that they stink! J.

Here's the awful truth: I've seen both sides of this badly-weighted coin firsthand. Anyone in the NY area who's of, ahem, "a certain age" will remember my cousin Pete Fornatale. He started at WNEW-FM in 1967...back when the DJs played whatever the hell they felt like. They actually kept this wonderful moment for about five years until everything got rigidly formatted. As it happens, one of the, uh, "pioneers" of the Rigid-Formatting movement was Peter Salant....a guy who I actually played in a band in high school with. He became a "Programming Consultant" and made a whole lot of money. I think he probably still does it, unless he's retired. The ugly truth!!

First, I cannot understand why "Girls Don't Grow on Trees" was not one of the bigger hits of the mid-sixities (and also now with the current garage scene). It begins with a "Western Union" guitar intro and then bursts into one of those bright and catchy 50,000 watt Windy City choruses. The song rides off into the unseen sunset with galloping guitar chords like last heard on "Come on Down to My Boat" by Every Mothers' Son. Its sound (and universal sentiment) is strong enough that it's possible to imagine this flash of brilliancy being modified to meet both Muzak and hard-core punk standards. Both the mono and stereo versions of "Girls Don't Grow on Trees" are available on "Ideology." The rest of the disc presents the Ides as a pretty versatile and sometimes compelling '60s pop band. The harmonies, modulations, and creative bridges have the strength to take listeners beyond the redundant. While lead singer Jim Peterik is no Steve Marriott, the exuberance levels of their Dave Clark 5-ish "Sha-La-La-La-La-Lee" would not be met until the Japanese band Sunnychar covered the same song some thirty years later. The mis-steps include the "Out of Limits" riff-off (that was so common back then) found on "I'll Keep Searching," a less than stellar take on the daunting (made world famous by the Walker Brothers) "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore," and the inept and pedestrian "Like It or Lump It." If you can put up with some wimp factor and moments of brass, you will be rewarded with some of the best garage pop to come out of Chicago's exciting mid-sixties era--when these sounds were floating around on the WLS & WCFL airwaves and moving the kids from Evanston to Evansville.

You don't have to be ashamed! I always kinda saw them upthere with Alice and the Stooges (with whom they played). OK, that might be to much praise (probaly read too many 'Black to comms'), but really i think they're one of the greatest, dare i say it, early 70s protopunk bands, and yeah, i know their later stuff pretty much sucks. But the stuff they did as Stalk Forest Group or those live '71 recorings, wowie. And i even think 'This ain't the summer of love' is pretty punkrock (well, probably because it's a song by the mighty Imperial Dogs) my two hardrockin' eurocents BinK ps. oh yeah, radio birdman did some boc songs and got their album title (radios apear') from a line on boc's 3rd ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 14:03:55 EST From: Cavestomper@aol.com Subject: Re: bomp-digest V2001 #15 In a message dated 1/6/01 11:51:52 AM, owner-bomp-digest@xnet2.com writes: << Death On Two Legs and Sheer Heart Attack (found on the News Of The World album), amongst others.

This is a promise I make to myself, my friends, and family.) Yeah, Roger Taylor did write (and sing high harmonies) on many of their songs. The song "Sheer Heart Attack" alone, would've been enough to earn them honorable mentions had they stopped right there. It's a scathing sonic assault that predates speed metal by...oh, only a decade or so. Legend has it, that after seeing his first "punk" band in some pub enhanced by some very serious drinking, Roger staggered home to his state of the art recording facility (remember, these are "rock stars" we're talkin' about) and tossed off Sheer Heart Attack to show the "kids" how it oughta' be done- if it was to be done at all. To this day, I've never heard any band even attempt a serious cover of it. What a great song! Now back to our regularly scheduled programming: Can anyone tell me more about The Heathen's out of Youngstown, OH, who in 1966 put out the 45 "She Did Me Wrong" b/w "Why, Why?, Why?" on the local label, Soaptown Records, of which only 200 copies were pressed? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 14:06:59 EST From: TwigYoungLions@aol.com Subject: Re: bomp-digest V2001 #15 Re : Queen " Tie Your Mother Down" isnt good?

She's a guilty pleasure of mine. I still love "heartbreaker" and "hell is for children".

I think that album was called "Zero Tolerance For Silence" and it was released on Sonic Youth's label. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Sorrow... John "Twink" Alder has asked me to announce that he is performing "S.F. Sorrow" in its "original mime play" format (whatever that means) in Los Angeles, at the Troubadour on Jan 27. He hopes to take it to other cities, if possible. He appears with "The Pink Fairies" (whoever that may be at this point), supported by two very fine local bands, the Quarter After (super-Byrds sound) and the Tyde, both of whom record for the new Dionysus subsidiary Orange Sky.

Wrong answer. It was written by Stephen Stills. Maybe you're thinking of "Woodstock"? BTW, I was wrong, it was written by Stills for Judy Collins, an old flame of his. I was thinking of "Our House", which Graham Nash wrote for Joni Mitchell. It's tough keeping track of who was banging who in that circle...
