  • 2:22 PM Philotech on Coldplay? Satriani? GUNTHER!

    “Frances Limon” from Argentine rock group Los Enanitos Verdes came first, so... Satriani need to be sued. He is an attention whore trying to get publicity for hit band of washed up rockers. http://theopenend.com/2009/01/31/coldplay-vs-joe-satriani-who-owns-the-descending-melody/

    Well spotted. If I were trying to make a serious point about Gunther, it would lie in ashes.

    Uh, Gunther's song came out in 2006, Joe's was 2004. Nice try though.

  • 10:56 PM Christine on "That tended to understate the hugeness of the object"

    Note that the crowning insult in the Spinal Tap row (to the usurping girlfriend) was "dresses like an Australian's nightmare"! What can I say... Yours from the nadir of world fashion Ms. Evans

    I'm assuming you saw their myspace, but if not: http://www.myspace.com/bigdipperband. It does seem like "Faith Healer" was the only video, though.

    Johhny was my cousin, son of my dads brother, I really wished I could have got to know him better in his musical career, we had a disconnect as we got older. I was sad to hear the news, and only wish that it could have been different, at least he is at peace, and his music will live on through his many fans!!!! Rachael Evitt

    I was in the second row and Barry indeed did say "I think I'll sit". At 65, I'd sit too. Lots of younger artists can't pull off a show as long as he did. Bravo for giving us our money's worth.
