...Charles-like social scene. At last Saturday's sold-out show at the Orpheum, the girl behind me asked her friend, "Have you seen anyone yet?" I don't know how she could answer that, considering everyone looked the same in a plaid flannel, fleece jacket and baseball cap combo...
...earliest recordings that will be broadcast during the orgy, those from the period 1955-1960, Cecil Taylor sounds approximately like a jazz pianist on acid. He performs with the standard format of a jazz combo: piano, bass, drums, and a hornman, in this case, soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy.

We're not in favor of clubs of any kind, facial hair (with all due respect to MF's horendous mutton-chop/Brussel-sprout combo), self-righteousness and radiation experiments. Nationally: yes for health care, Al Gore, and Michael Jordan's new career move; no on guns, the insanity defense and toxic corpses. Internationally: two thumbs up for Lena Olin, Tiger Okoshi, Hungarian dogs, and Russia's new jet-setting Mafia elite (FM lives on the edge...
