The clock is ticking backwards. <br /><br />Now they're telling me there's a red under my bed and the President is some kind of martian or something and 1.5 billion mecca facing terrorists want me dead for reasons I don't understand. <br /><br />The new pope is a failed disc jockey, and the popette is a cute, vindictive, proud ignoramus.<br /><br />That sorry Earl Grey crew may have won, who'd of thunk it? <br /><br />I'm glad I'm not in this crappy movie (yet).Tommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02238143486209644518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13393846.post-32324179514690713982010-09-09T16:20:34.985-07:002010-09-09T16:20:34.985-07:00Interesting point.

"Sister Kate" was ear-friendly and sweetly slick (as was her later Columbia album) and Livingston wasn't too far away from James stylistically.<br /><br />Liv's the only one that I met. I spent an hour with him, interview and photographs. A very intimidating guy at first, very intense -- within 30 seconds he was laying down a ground rule that pretty much said NO mention of James or Kate. But ultimately I enjoyed my time with him.Ill Folkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08208537275049364194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13393846.post-74502910505627849032010-09-09T14:39:26.215-07:002010-09-09T14:39:26.215-07:00With all due respect to Alex, of all the Taylor cl...With all due respect to Alex, of all the Taylor clan (Livingston, Kate & Alex) that were being signed up like crazy in the early Seventies he was the most reluctant to cash in on brother James' popularity.Andy 7https://www.blogger.com/profile/10212977920568255479noreply@blogger.com
