The History Of Jop Part 11 aka Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps

1989, the number, another poll - something to do while you count the minutes until POPTIMISM TONIGHT AT THE UNION TAVERN (ahem).

Only EIGHT picks this time because Tone Loc's "Wild Thing" was a duplicate.

i almost burst into tears when i read this post (ambushed by unexpected defense of neil young)

one of the many things I love abt neil is that he's never consistent - ie he flip-flops from Trans to Old Ways, Rockin' in the Free World to Greendale, Let it Roll to Living Through War all the time, he's never dogmatic or certain, he's doubtful flexible or undecided - LIKE US

yes i wz gnna say what's great abt him is he's not bothered whether he's good or not -- which is obv a lousy way to say what's good abt him! also it doesn't separate him properly from what appears to be BAD abt the stones from around this date (tho rly we need DAVE Q here to pick his way through the grate late late stones)

"It Won't Take Long" on the recent alb can fend off most of Exile On Main Street (exceptions being "Ventilator Blues," which was done better by Richard Hell anyway, and "Turd On the Run" and "Stop Breaking Down" and maybe "Rip This Joint" and "Hip Shake" and "Rocks Off"). Of course, I'm no Exile worshipper - side two is where they go deep into the sap and run-of-the-mill groove-spoodge that they've tended to rely on for the last 35 years - but it is its own beauty poem of sorts and is great, if vastly vastly vastly overrated.

"It Won't Take Long" on the recent Stones' album. (Haven't heard much recent Neil.)

I JUDGE THAT...
