...have been repainted more times than the Queen Mary. During a recent stay, Led Zeppelin surpassed its 1972 record of $1,700 by racking up $2,500 in damages-destroying paintings, soiling walls, submerging four stereos in bathtubs, and reportedly holding motorcycle races in a corridor. But, like Joe Cocker, who ruined a carpet last spring by stomping his birthday cake into the fabric, the musicians smoothed things over by paying the tab immediately. "Most of these groups just don't worry about damages," sighs Hyatt Manager Lou Wilson. "If I could draw 18,000 people...

Leon Russell. The Master of Space and Time has fallen on hard critical times. It's just that his brand of severely limited, gospel styled rock and roll only works in certain contexts. It was fine with Joe Cocker and forty other women, kids and dogs, but once Delaney and Bonnie got divorced, it all began to go a little flat. None of which has stopped Leon from accumulating large sums of money, and putting Tulsa back on the map as freak capital of the world, it just hasn't done much for him artistically.

...played in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Traffic's last rhythm section, bassist Ric Grech and Jim Gordon on drums, were rockers, pure and simple, particularly Gordon's white rock/gospel/white R 'n' B background.

Merry Clayton's portrayal of the Acid Queen was supposed to be the highlight of an otherwise dull popstar version of Tummy Merry's talents, though artistically evident, weren't really visible until she turned up on "Gimme Shelter," and then on Joe Cocker's first two albums, and like Claudia Lennear, she's parlayed her experience as a backup singer, into a solo career. This woman has a very large voice: you have to, to put balls into some of the stuff Carole King writes...

...satire, the sort of thing the National Film Board of Canada did so nicely in their lacerating documentary on Paul Anka, Lonely Boy. Elvis might also have made a subject for a diverting visual essay on the sociology of pop. The filmmakers, who are responsible for the easygoing Joe Cocker documentary Mad Dogs and Englishmen (1971), attempt none of this. Instead they settle for compiling an obsequious family album...
