I toured with Ronnie Dawson in the Spring/Summer of 1999. On that tour, we found ourselves with a night off in Vegas. Our drummer, John Palmer, knew that Nelson lived somewhere in the area, so we looked him up in the phone book and called him. He invited us to his house in Boulder City. We drove to his house - very modest, looked a bit worse for wear - and he invited us in for a chat. He is insane. Really. His house is a mess. His bathroom is covered with grafitti left by himself and guests, he has three TVs going at once, he videotapes visitors and events somewhat randomly, and - he has a "cave" in his yard. Yes, a "cave" that he himself dug and constructed over the years. He showed us a video of him playing a snare drum in the cave, but you couldn't really fit a drum set down there. I think he still does the occasional coffee house gig, and he played a bit for us, and his chops seem intact. Re. his infirmity, he did lose his left(?) leg below the knee in a motorcycle accident, but this occured in the '70s, after his recording career had tapered off.

Joe Viglione sent me a copy of BALLBUSTER magazine. Why wasn't he the centerfold?! He's made snide remarks about the time I devote to this list,but no one on the BOMPLIST would ever get away with the IGNORANT SHIT that is on AMG.(I told a friend this and he asked "What IS AMG?!" Thank you!!!)AMG is a place where Little Steven of Bruce Springsteen's group is crossed referenced with Stephen Wright of The Easybeats. And The Easys VOLUME 3(my fave) is described as "nothing outstanding" when it's got hook laden killers like "Sorry","You Said That" ,and "Going Out Of My Mind" as well as moody,swoon masterpieces like "Say You Want Me" and "Dance Of The Lovers". Why is "rock journalism" filled with people who couldn't WRITE their way out of a paper bag and wouldn't recognize a HOOK if it hit them in the face?! Some might call that sour grapes,but I think it's like the Dorothy Parker analogy between writing and sex/prostitution; First you do it for love,then for a few friends,then you do it for ca$h.

From what I've seen around Europe so far, there's more shitty ones than 'good ones'. Just think mega-stores... Hell! it takes an effort to find a good record store and THEN building a kind of relationship (preferably one YOU feel comfortable with...), earning you the "advantage" over (MOR) buyers of muzak. Basically, that's what most record shops have to live on: big selling names, like it or not. There are mouths to be filled. So, it's a choice: Plato chose a big (and great) store, satisfying many people, therefore employing about a dozen 'mouths' (or more, correct me if I'm wrong, Jeroen); Da Capo chose to satisfy a 'selected audience', meaning that Michel has to work in and for his own shop, at any hour necessary, employing only a few people. Still, prices don't differ too much at either store, just the supply: at Plato's I can get just about any available title, as long as it's new, at Da Capo's I can get a truck-load of 60's stuff, second-hand stuff (if available) and mostly vinyl. Plato is my main supplier, which I try to visit every Saturday; Da Capo is my first choice for vinyl, yet on irregular visits (as temptation is always too big...). Oh, BTW, as far as I know, both shops sell new cd's at prices lower than average. From colleagues, who buy cd's in smaller towns and villages, I hear prices for new titles, that are sometimes up to 10 guilders higher! >>There are 2/3 good record shops totally inaccessible for me. << What?! Were you banned? What did you do?! >>I use to wonder how they even survive with those prices but I guess that even if they sell one record, it saves the whole month. And I am not talking about rare stuff, but new CD's and Lp's as well, most of which you can find considerably cheaper 50m away in a less 'cool' store. << So: buy at the less 'cool' store, 50 meters, miles or minutes away! Who's stopping you?! If all you're looking for is cheap thrills... >>I have several theories about it. The main one is that their clients 10/15 years ago now are all respectable wealthy middle age men who doesn't mind to pay more because they can feel closer to those middle age owners (after all they wear the same clothes) and laugh at the younger ones when their eyes are open wide after seeing the prices. << Yeah RIGHT! I see those 'younger ones' spend money like water on shit I wouldn't even want to get paid FOR to take home with me. Most of the time I 'laugh' at those young ones for their poor taste and the amount of money they spend on shit that won't last till the end of the year, artistically. And don't you think I'm limited to 60's stuff: I'll buy just about anything that touches just about any of my organs (Jeroen would LOVE to tell you all about my shitty taste...). And don't you fuckin' dare call ME respectable!! LOL!!! You know what I DO wanna pay for? Respect! Any possibility of advice! Shop personnel who think with me and for me. Who order me things I missed, without me having to ask for it (Thanx for ordering that Purple box, Jeroen!). Personnel that is different from the people who work at a supermarket (no dis-respect!!), having at least some affinity with what they do! THAT'S what I wanna pay for! (Jeroen! Je mag dit gebruiken tegen Rein, als er weer eens onderhandeld moet worden... hihihi). Again, it's a choice: I could let quantity prevail over quality, I choose quality and will do so, whatever it takes! >>Because these gentlemen wouldn't dare to go near another place, afraid they would be looked at like old hippies. So that's what they're paying for. << Yeah RIGHT again! Not daring to go near another place might have more medical, psychological reasons? LOL!!! Or might they, like me, just be happy where they are? >>But you're being cheated! Like when they sell to you those Munster vinyl reissues like if it was some kind of rare import and they are released on a Spanish label!!! Buff, and I nearly worked for one of these shops...(I was the only one who passed the interview because I was the only one who knew what power-pop was)<< Didn't you inquire before you applied for that job? Or do you think there are shops that sell records out of hobby? Oops! I did it again! Woke up someone, disturbed an idealist's dream... ;=) >>Germany is a bit far for me and still I don't know if it would be cheap because our currency here is the lowest of the lowest. << Yep! It wouldn't be worthwhile to go to Germany for your records! Unless you would choose to save up your money and go only once a year... >>I use mail order which kills the fun of looking around in a shop but it is definitely cheaper.<< I couldn't live without THE RECORD SHOP! As long as I CAN avoid buying mail order or web, I WILL. I can't imagine my own fingers not doing the walking... Basically, I dig your point on prices, I dig your point on record stores (or mail order, if you like that stuff). I'd LOVE to see prices fall, I'd love to see all mega-stores go out of biz, I'd love to see all Backstreet Boys II Men in Black die yesterday etc. I'd love to see the whole world loving the same music I love... But hey! What fun would we have in my perfect world? In the end it all comes down to choices: how much and where do you wanna spend on what?
