Ray Charles — Ring Of Fire
September 9, 2008
On his second appearance on The Johnny Cash Show, Ray Charles performed Cash’s hit, “Ring Of Fire”. Do you think that at that time they knew that they’d both have biopics made in the new millennium, for which the actors portraying them would win Academy Awards?
Three Dog Night — Shambala
September 9, 2008
From 1969-1974, nobody had more Top 10 hits, moved more records, or sold more concert tickets than Three Dog Night. During this period, they were undoubtedly the most popular band in America: twenty-one consecutive Top 40 hits, eighteen straight Top 20s, eleven Top 10s, seven number 1s, seven million-selling singles and twelve straight gold LPs. By late ’75, they had sold nearly 50 million records. The band was unique for it’s time, featuring three separate lead singers, Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron and Cory Wells.
Where does the name come from? Apparently Australian aborigines would sleep with their dogs to provide warmth on cold nights. The coldest nights were called three dog nights. Here’s Three Dog Night with their 1973 hit, “Shambala”:

Mitch Hedberg — Do You Believe In Gosh?
September 9, 2008
New release from Mitch Hedberg, Do You Believe In Gosh is in stores today. BCM has the review:
Recorded about two months prior to his death in March of 2005, Do You Believe In Gosh? is comedian Mitch Hedberg’s first posthumous release. Only 37 years old at the time of his death in a New Jersey hotel room, it’s still likely a bitter and depressing pill for his fans to swallow.
Hedberg’s on-stage persona was unique: wearing sunglasses and often times performing with his eyes closed or with his hair in front of his face (a way to manage stage fright was the usual explanation), he delivered his jokes in an odd (Continue Reading…)

Bob Dylan — Love Minus Zero/No Limit
September 9, 2008
Taken from the amazing, “No Direction Home” and from the album, “Bringing It All Back Home”. Donovan’s response is priceless. Check it out:
From Wiki:
“Love Minus Zero/No Limit“ is a low-key love song, described by Riley as a “hallucinatory allegiance, a poetic turn that exposes the paradoxes of love (‘She knows there’s no success like failure / And that failure’s no success at all’)…[it] points toward the dual vulnerabilities that steer ‘Just Like A Woman.’ In both cases, a woman’s susceptibility is linked to the singer’s defenseless infatuation.”
Phish — 9 Years Ago Today (9/9/1999)
September 9, 2008
That’s right, five nines in the date. Six in the post title. Before you ask, yes, it’s a record. Well, Mr. Miner’s Phish Thoughts has some thoughts and downloads from this landmark date.
09/09/99 GM Place, Vancouver, BC
Set I: Mozambique, Axilla, Limb By Limb, Horn, Guyute, Chalkdust Torture, Back at the Chicken Shack, Stash, I Didn’t Know, Character Zero
Set II: Birds of a Feather, Ha Ha Ha, Ghost, The Inlaw Josie Wales, First Tube, Tweezer, Bug, You Enjoy Myself, Hello My Baby
Encore: Sample in a Jar, Golgi Apparatus, Tweezer Reprise
As the nation crept closer to the turn of the millennium, and the fears over Y2K disasters mounted, Phish was also on a crash course with 2000, ever closer to Big Cypress, their highly anticipated all-night affair for New Years Eve. In preparation for such a cosmic transition, Phish had planned two fall tours- one “normal length” 24-show tour starting in September and a two-week millennial primer during the initial fortnight of December. Distinctly remembering the drive from Santa Cruz to Vancouver, there was endless Phish ahead, and no finish line in sight- now that was an exceptional feeling. Continue Reading…
