I had a nice time with Celtic guitar superstar Tony McManus last night. Tony revealed that two of his pieces will be in the new Neil Jordan film, Ondine.
He also told the following story: a guitarist he knew recently died and was buried in a Jewish cemetery in Newton. His epitaph reads, "Times were sometimes tough, but at least I never made a Christmas album."
Well, to be fair, he was a Christian for 2 & 1/2 albums.

ReplyDeleteAnonymous, pardon my confusion, but who's the "he" in your sentence? Tony, or the dead guitarist?

ReplyDeleteHey, I caught you in the "When to Doubt the Science Bashers" post. /
Some rock critic did a line-by-line analysis of "Jokerman" and concluded the Jokerman was... Jesus Christ.
ReplyDeleteI listed to "Jokerman" 50 times and concluded the Jokerman was... Bob Dylan.
"Whoa Jokerman, you know what he wants. Oh Jokerman, you don't show any response."
That's Dylan responding to interviewers.
