Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To

The First Cut Is The Deepest…

…unless it’s this, Man Ray’s attempt at a cover for Exile on Main Street. Mick took one look and started calling his fancy friends to see if anyone wanted the job.

Look how little effort he put in! Was Man Ray secretly in the Grateful Dead?

    Okay,

    You can talk about Robert Frank now..

    He died a while back and the online articles I read about him were horrible just horrible,

    There was more to him than Cocksucker blues, or the Exile on Main Street album cover, I am almost certain there is a Dead connection..

    Thanks tor, Robert frank made an excellent movie called ‘candy mountain’ in 1989 (I’ve seen c-blues – it’s kind of like Neil young’s model trains- best left to the imagination)I only just looked it up to remember the title because I remember seeing it and being blown away, dr John is in the movie and I regret when I met him I always wanted to ask about that movie but didn’t skas. Anyway, I now know it thanks IMDb it also has Tom waits joe strummer David johansen Leon redbone . Anyway I’m going to find some way to see it again I have no idea if it’s on DVD but again it is fantastic. And shot in Cape Breton too. It just occurs to me that my current favourite singer ‘lady wray’ is the opposite of man ray. Hmmmm.

      Carlos,

      Nice thanks for sharing.

      I am going to go to our university library and see if I can get LifeRaft earth,

      Wavy Gravy doing something in a parking lot about hunger in 1969, but it sounds like it spins out into strangeness. Short enough to watch even if it gets .. too artsy to enjoy.

    Taylor and Wyman are having a Hair Contest to see who can more perfectly imitate a French poodle.

    Didn’t Man Ray accidentally kill that jolly Australian Zoo Guy?

    In his Defense man ray was 82 or something when asked by The Drummer to do the cover, man candy mountain directed by Robert frank who just passed away at 94 is a classic Canadian road movie, right up there with Bruce Mac Donald’s highway 61. It even has Rita MacNeil in it. Only the subtitles are German by the way. And yeah booooooo. Ha ha.
