hey @MisterDDDD - hope you've been well Your posts of tributes seem majorly appreciated for so many people here. I'll probbaly come back and visit them in the future, and for now because I'm processing the way I tend to, I literally can't take in any additional info yet except what fans here on IORR and friends otherwise are posting - as you say, "the show must go on&quo

hi everyone...yesterday I was in the city of Boston--after a year of being in the boondocks of rural New Hampshire--and marveling at the people and buildings and general level of energy and activity, the vibrant green trees and grass in Boston Common and the swirl of humanity. Got a text from a friend who's, I guess you'd say, a "casual fan" of the Stones and who knows I am mo

Overwhelmed by 47-page threads that go on for a year speculating when and where there may possibly be shows, and what the setlists might be. Overwhelmed when a few posters, who change their handles and pretend to be new people compulsively post every day, on almost every thread, usually uncritical praise. Baffled sometimes by things like when a post on a new Altamont book gets started an

The most important part of his book was interviews with Dixie, Meredith Hunter's sister, and Meredith's girlfriend. We can thank Tony Funches for turning on author Austerlitz to those sources. When I spoke with Austerlitz, he was frantically digging for insights and leads for his book, since, as he said, Altamont happened in another era than one he was familiar with but it seemed like a

Hi - does anyone know any backstory on this photo? is it from Dominique Tarle's book--if so, did he annotate the photo? It's tempting to read into it, but it would be more fun to know the actual context. No reason asking - just curious thanks -swiss Quotemighty stork

Seems vulgar to speculate or judge. Especially when 99.5% of us have no idea what is actually going on, or went on. And any 0.5% who might have an idea of their affairs will certainly not blab about it here. Family dynamics are complicated. Family dynamics around death are often more so. And family dynamics around death, in fractured families, particularly when the death is of a public fig

QuoteDandelionPowdermanDead Flowers is a song Gram could have written, though. Absolutely his style, both musically and lyrically.

hi...listening to some outtakes and alt takes tonight and vis-à-vis nothing I suddenly wondered whether anyone had ever speculated on, or outright suggested, the possibility of Gram Parsons having written or co-written "Dead Flowers."

After all, she's taken as many as 4 film classes, did a fine Presi presentation on 1970s cinema for her "History of American Film" class 2 years ago as a college Junior--and last year gave money to a student production for a film short.

That was fun! One thing struck me as potentially problematic in tabulating the data. R&B, one the genres listed, could be interpreted by the survey respondent either as old school R&B or new school R&B. The two are 180 degrees different, and attract a radically different audience and (I would posit) personality type. (Similar situation, although less extreme, for Country.) Old sc

I never heard about anything between Keith and her before. Great photos/footage. It's Keith. I would recognize him from that perspective any day...that sway back, slopey shoulders, and high...posterior.
