Founding members Gene Clark and Jim "Roger" McGuinn's inspiration was The Beatles. They in turn inspired others most notably The Crossfires, who changed their name to the Turtles.<BR/>I guess you can include in this group of Beatle inspired folk groups, The Journeymen, who with the addition of Cass Elliot became the Mamas & the Papas.<BR/><BR/>Chris working with Paul Simon would probably be a hybrid of World folk music, if it didn't show a continuation of "Surprise".<BR/>Chris' favoring U2 might be emphasized if Brian Eno, who has produced U2 and worked on "Surprise", was involved.<BR/><BR/>On Amazon blog it may be of interest to investigate, "Annie Lennox's contribution to Raise Awareness of HIV/AIDS Pandemic"<BR/>Use the green page to copy the url, it’s just too long to dissect and assemble from the white page.<BR/>http://www.amazon.com/gp/blog/post/PLNK38XE8FFVG6ASN/ref=cm_cd_et_up_redir?ie=UTF8&cdForum=FxA8GOAVP9MRRJ&cdPage=1&cdThread=Tx36FPF79LM64RX&newContentID=Mx1E4S31ULJBLE9#Mx1E4S31ULJBLE9<BR/><BR/>If that is too problematic, just check out the song “Sing”: <BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Sing/dp/B0015O7NZA/ref=dm_ap_alb1gdahimselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00873620098889873116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-31762774360921891912008-03-17T18:05:00.000-05:002008-03-17T18:05:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.gdahimselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00873620098889873116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-3300618060831419992008-03-17T16:58:00.000-05:002008-03-17T16:58:00.000-05:00Just caught the last half of "Oprah".

Yes - they were magical.<BR/>They, Bob Dylan and a few others really opened up the whole folk-rock world back then. They were very thoughtful writers and spun unique melodies.<BR/><BR/>That's why Josiah was embraced so readily. He is sort of Dylanesque and unique in a musical world that<BR/>has been producing a lot of cliched, formulated pap for a long time.<BR/> <BR/>Do you know what else I think would be magical? If Chris co-wrote with Paul Simon. For his next record,(boy am I thinking ahead!), if it were slanted a little more mainstream, I could see Paul Simon adding his gospel influences to Chris's record (or at least on one of his songs). That would truly be "a pop-rock record with spiritual overtones", as Chris said last year in People Magazine.rosaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02008139855126202575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-4432501948024413282008-03-17T11:44:00.000-05:002008-03-17T11:44:00.000-05:00Rosalee, I have learned never to underestimate y...Rosalee,<BR/> I have learned never to underestimate your powers. :o)<BR/><BR/>Your story was very interesting reading. I'd love to buy that book someday. Have always LOVED Art Garfunkel. Is truly one of the best singers on God's green earth. And Paul Simon a great songwriter. Together they were magical. <BR/> Though I may be in the minority here, I could never get into Paul as a person though I have greatly enjoyed about 40 percent of his solo stuff. As for Art, anything he puts his hand to is golden. It's funny that commercially it has been just the opposite.<BR/> I have a feeling I would side w/Art in all their "fights". ha haAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-46095185923231881532008-03-17T10:50:00.000-05:002008-03-17T10:50:00.000-05:00Hey Risalea -Go Dawgs!Sorry - but what a run.Tom i...Hey Risalea -<BR/><BR/>Go Dawgs!<BR/><BR/>Sorry - but what a run.<BR/><BR/>Tom in ATLTom in ATLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04447446695335852436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-65955707655579469912008-03-17T10:16:00.000-05:002008-03-17T10:16:00.000-05:00MJ's got the latest Mediabase stats out.

I don't have any magical powers to transport myself to radio stations and videotape performances.(LOL)<BR/>And now for my less than perfect evening -<BR/><BR/>An Abortive Attempt to Pass On the HPF CD:<BR/><BR/>Well, it looks like my HPF CD will live to see another day…<BR/><BR/>Tonight I went back to the Book Revue (the bookstore on Long Island where I gave Bill Clinton the HPF CD) for another book signing event. This time it was given by veteran radio DJ and on-air personality, Pete Fornatale. This is a DJ that I grew up listening to in NY. He’s been around for a good 40 years on NY radio and has interviewed a ton of artists. He now has a radio show, “Mixed Bag”, which airs on the weekends. He was selling his new book, “Simon and Garfunkel’s Bookends”, written to commemorate the 40th anniversary of that album. In it, he talks about the love/hate relationship between Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. <BR/><BR/>The event started at 7:00 PM. There were at least 200 people attending. He lectured for an hour about Simon and Garfunkel, interspersing audio clips from old interviews, and comparing those times (politically, etc.) to today. Then I waited on line for about 45 minutes to get the book signed. When it was my turn, after praising him and S&G, I asked him if he watched American Idol. He said he just had a conversation about AI the other day. He doesn’t watch it. He said that it’s “too corporate” and that the quality (of music/talent) coming out of it can’t compare with what we had 40 years ago. He hadn’t heard of Chris. However, I did plant the name in his head, so if Chris appears in a NY newspaper in the next few days, maybe he’ll take notice. I decided not to pass on the HPF CD because he seemed a bit close-minded. I will wait to give it to someone who will appreciate it. <BR/>Well, you can't win 'em all...rosaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02008139855126202575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-84577512676030447052008-03-16T09:34:00.000-05:002008-03-16T09:34:00.000-05:00We're going to have games here in NLR at Alltel fo...We're going to have games here in NLR at Alltel for the first couple of rounds of March Madness.
