Steeleye Span: Part IV
By Dave Romm
Celtic Folk/Rock is my favorite type of music and Steeleye Span is my favorite group, and has been for more than 25 years, but I'll try to keep it short. I won't link to all the albums, but you can get many of them from Amazon here or here and find the lyrics to almost all their songs here. I love the net.
Rocket Cottage was also produced by Mike Batt, but this time the music didn't quite gel as well and this signalled a downturn in the band's fortunes. For one thing, it was "Recorded very fast, in just over a week in fact" and feels very uneven. Maddy Prior actually misses a note! The Brown Girl is a great song, another one about class differences, but Maddy is not up to her best. For another, it came out weeks before the Sex Pistol's debut single, and popular culture is unforgiving.
Despite much going against the album, Rocket Cottage has a lot of very good music on it. Fighting For Strangers is a traditional song about mercenaries turned into a haunting anti-war ballad, on the order of Eric Bogle's The Band Played Waltzing Matilda. Orfeo/Nathan's Reel tells the Orpheus and Euridyce story in celtic folk/rock fashion, with a great fiddle solo at the end. Sir James The Rose is almost punk, a much harder examination of the kind of betrayal as told by the traditional song Whiskey In The Jar (or Gilgarra Mountain, as Peter Paul and Mary do it). London is a nice bouncy rock song while The Bosnian Hornpipes is a nifty 60 second a cappella instrumental. And once again, they end well. An uncredited version of Camptown Races slips into some banter by the band and then into the heartbreaking song of despair, The Drunkard. Maddy, singing a part written for a male, is at her finest and the band is emotional and cathartic. I'm always tempted to air The Drunkard together with van Ronk's Last Call, but I'd worry about my audience being driven to drink.
Storm Force Ten, their tenth album, featured a different lineup and different sound. Martin Carthy returns, and John Kirkpatrick adds an accordian where there had been a fiddle. This is a wonderful album that never quite caught on due to the break in momentum and the change in music style... and then the band broke up. Still, Awake Awake is a beautiful, mostly a cappella, song about lovers. Sweep Chimney Sweep is an hilarious a cappella song about class differences. Both song feature rich harmony and lovely imagery. The Wife Of The Soldier is another anti-war song, followed by the paean to Lord Nelson and The Victory. The Black Freighter, from Threepenny Opera, about lower class maid waiting for pirates to take her away, has never been done better. Maddy's true love has been stolen by Some Rival, the drudgery and harsh life of British sailors is told in Treadmill Song. And a flippant little ditty about meeting and bedding a young lass is giving full whirl in Seventeen Come Sunday. Another great ending song.
Steeleye Span broke up, but not without producing one live album, Live At Last! Not a particularly good album, alas, with the same lineup as Storm Force Ten. I've seen them in concert, and they're a whole lot of fun, but they are a studio band and none of their live albums comes up to any of their studio albums. The only real winner on the this one, though, is a doozy. A long, 15:15 min version of Montrose; complex and compelling even if you don't know (or care) about the political upheaval and betrayal in the song. The other songs are done well, though the performance of studio cuts suffer in comparison with the originals. Warning: The US and UK pressings are different, and I've been talking about the UK tracks.
Steeleye Span has reformed and broken up several times in the ensuing decades, but they never reached the heights of their first run (ten albums; twelve if you count Summer Solstice and Live At Last!). Their later material is uneven with the occasional gem. I don't even count their other live albums or compilations. Next up: Silly Sisters and solo other solo projects.
Dave Romm is a conceptual artist with a radio show and a web site and a very weird CD collection. He reviews things at random for obscure web sites. You can read all his music recommendations from Bartcop-E here.

In The Chaos Household
Last Night
Started the evening surfing between 'Enterprise' and 'Dateline'. Ultimately, neither
were worth the effort.
Decided a rerun of 'Bernie Mac' was a safer bet than 'Drew Carey'. Flopped between 'Titus' and
'The Job' with Dennis Leary. He's such a shit, but, jeez, I laugh - out loud even.
Saw some of 'Downtown' on ABC, only because their tease was more lurid than the one for '60 Minutes II'.
Jay is in reruns (as is Conan), but, Dave (and Craiggers) went fresh.
Tonight, Thursday, CBS is inundated with 'March Madness'. No primetime to speak of, and even Dave is a rerun.
Over at NBC, it starts with a rerun 'Friends', a fresh 'Leap Of Faith', and then reruns the rest of the night, with 'Will & Grace',
'Just Shoot Me', and 'ER'. Jay is also a rerun.
ABC gives away the whole night to Figure Skating.
The WB is fresh with 2 episodes of 'My Guide To Becoming A Rock Star', and then 'Charmed'.
Faux has the rerun of 'Celebrity Boxing' from last Wednesday and then reruns of 'King Of The Hill' and 'Futurama'.
UPN is all 'WWF Smackdown'.
AMC has lots of 'Raiders Of The Lost Ark', and Spencer Tracy's last film, 'Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?'.
TCM has one of those movies that has a line which has a life of its own....the movie is 'Stage Door', and this is the one
where Katharine Hepburn utters the words ''The calla lilies are in bloom. Such a strange & wondrous flower...''
Anyone have any opinions?

It's Ashcroft's Oscars - No Dancing!
Laura Ziskin
Academy Awards producer Laura Ziskin says there won't be any dancing at this year's Oscars show.
"Not that I don't love dancing — and I do think there's a place for it — done properly in the Oscars. But it wasn't something I particularly
understood," she said. Instead, Ziskin drew on her film background to help produce a series of short films made just for Oscar night. Some
filmmakers and screenwriters have been invited to work on the pieces.
It's Ashcroft's Oscars - No Dancing!
'Coolest Records' List
Velvet Underground Tops
Albums by the Velvet Underground, the Rolling Stones and James Brown lead a list of the 50 "coolest records" featured in the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine.
Compiled by the magazine's staff, the list is headed by "White Light/White Heat," the 1968 release from the Velvet Underground, the grim art-rock band beloved by critics
if not by the record-buying masses. The album's highlight was the psychedelic opus "Sister Ray" -- "seventeen minutes of guitars screaming in ecstasy," Rolling Stone opined.
Second spot went to the U.S. version of the Rolling Stones' "Aftermath," the 1966 release that marked the first album written solely by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
"Blues-rock flower power, but all the flowers are painted black," the magazine said.
So-called "Godfather of Soul" James Brown's 1968 release "Live at the Apollo" came in third thanks to "the most explosive cold-sweat funk grooves ever recorded."
Other entries included the Beatles' "Revolver" at No. 10, David Bowie's "Station to Station" at No. 21, Michael Jackson's "Off the Wall" at No. 31, Merle Haggard's "Songs
I'll Always Sing" at No. 42 and Madonna's "You Can Dance" remix album at No. 50.

Promoting Literacy
Danny Glover
Danny Glover urged students at St. Helena Elementary School to reach for the stars.
The actor was at St. Helena to promote literacy in education. He addressed the students during an afternoon assembly and was scheduled to meet
with the Parent-Teacher Organization on Monday night.
The children showered Glover with songs, gifts and a lesson on the local Gullah culture. Gullah-Geechees were freed slaves who settled on the sea
islands from South Carolina to north Florida.
After Glover's talk, students presented him with a handmade quilt decorated with "St. Helena" and photos of the pupils.

To Regurgitate Daily On Comedy Central
Late Night with Conan O'Brien
Basic cable network Comedy Central will begin airing same-day repeats of NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" later this year, the two sides
said on Wednesday, marking NBC's second recent deal for off-network reruns of its late-night programming.
NBC said that beginning Sept. 3, Comedy Central will air the previous night's "Conan" episode in the early evening. An exact time slot has not
yet been set. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Though it is increasingly common for networks to rebroadcast shows on affiliated cable stations, the NBC deals are unique in that Comedy Central
is a joint venture of Viacom Inc. and Time Warner Entertainment, while E!'s largest shareholders are Comcast Corp. and Walt Disney Co.

Sharing Needles Isn't A Good Thing
Pamela Anderson
Former "Baywatch" beauty Pamela Anderson said on Wednesday she has contracted the potentially fatal liver disease Hepatitis C by sharing
a tattoo needle with ex-husband Tommy Lee.
Anderson, 34, whose barbed-wire tattoo rings her left arm, said in a statement she has been undergoing outpatient treatment for the disease
at the University of California, Los Angles Medical Center.
"I contracted Hepatitis C while sharing a tattoo needle with my ex-husband Tommy Lee," she said.
"Tommy has the disease and never disclosed it to me during our marriage," said Anderson, who is embroiled in a child custody battle with
Lee, the former drummer for the hard-rock band Motley Crue.

To Perform ''Vanilla Sky''
Paul McCartney
Fresh off a media blitz surrounding former Beatle Paul McCartney's announcement of a June wedding to former model Heather Mills, and a first-ever
exhibition of his original paintings, the British icon is now preparing to make his debut at the Academy Awards, Hollywood's biggest event of the year.
McCartney, who is also preparing for his first American tour in almost 10 years, will sing his song, "Vanilla Sky," the title track for the
film of the same name, which has been nominated for best original song.
According to Hollywood lore, "Vanilla Sky" director Cameron Crowe screened part of an early print of the film for McCartney because he hoped the former
Beatle would allow him to use a song from his new album "Driving Rain."
Four days later, McCartney reportedly recorded the folk song titled "Vanilla Sky."
McCartney has a previous Oscar nomination for the title track to the 1973 James Bond thriller "Live and Let Die" and won an original song score Oscar
in 1970 with The Beatles for "Let it Be."

Cartoon From India
''Dubyaman''
A visitor to a cartoon exhibition in New Delhi March 20, 2002 looks at an image of "Dubyaman," a parody of U.S. President George W.
Bush invented by Indian comic writer Jug Suraiya. "Dubyaman," an Indian comic strip hero named after the way some Texans pronounce
the letter "W," is a parody of the U.S. President and his oratory through a host of problems from Afghanistan and the India-Pakistan
spat to religious riots in northern India.

The Chris Matthews Hardball-in-Mouth Apology Tour
from Lloyd Grove
Our friend Chris Matthews awoke Monday morning to find some extremely unpleasant remarks he made about Ted Koppel and Jim Lehrer quoted in Post
reporter Howard Kurtz's media column. By day's end, the MSNBC "Hardball" host had written an abject letter to Koppel, the anchor of ABC's "Nightline,"
and paid a visit to Lehrer at Arlington's WETA-TV, where the PBS anchor presides over "The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer."
Among Matthews's choicer quotes, uttered last week during a Cable Television Public Affairs lunch:
• On Koppel and "Nightline": "I think we in the cable business have overtaken them. I'm already rerun twice before Koppel's got his act together."
On the recent flap involving David Letterman: "Koppel, if you can't make it in the market, go work for public television for 200 [thousand]
a year instead of $7 million."
• On Lehrer's hour-long nightly show: "What is it -- eight hours long? I never sat all the way through it."
Around 1 p.m. Monday, "NewsHour" staffers were surprised when Matthews showed up seeking an urgent meeting with Lehrer, who was just waking up from
his afternoon nap. Lehrer and his grim-looking petitioner disappeared behind closed doors. "He apologized and I quickly, without hesitation, accepted
his apology," Lehrer recounted yesterday. "I was quite struck that he came to my office unannounced. I told him, 'This is water under the bridge,
don't worry about it.' "
Koppel, meanwhile, told us: "He wrote me a lovely letter. As far as I'm concerned he has made a sincere and, I'm sure, genuine apology, and the apology is accepted."
Matthews sighed: "I felt it was not just my professional but my personal responsibility to show my respect to real guys who are ahead of me and
certainly have accomplished more. I wanted them individually to know how I felt. I've always felt that I am trying to be an iconoclast and to sail
against the wind. But sometimes the establishment is right. I was wrong. I clearly shouldn't have done it."

Priming The Oscar Pump
Bruce Vilanch
Come Oscar night, Bruce Vilanch, head writer for the Academy Awards, will either be dancing at Hollywood's hottest parties or fleeing town.
"If we're happy with the show, we go to every party in town and if we're unhappy, we'll be heading down to the Mexican border," funnyman
Vilanch told Reuters.
"I have two reviews hanging on my office. One is a rave from The New York Times and the other is a pan from the Los Angeles Times. And they
are both about the same exact show," said Vilanch, writer of 14 Academy Award shows.
Vilanch said it's not easy to create a hit Oscar telecast, despite having earned two Emmy Awards on Oscar shows hosted by Billy Crystal.
He said his big challenge is entertaining people for the entire telecast, especially because after pre-show celebrity interviews and long acceptance speeches are
factored in, the event can run nearly four hours. Most viewers are only biding time for the best actor, actress and film awards, which land near the end.
There will be only one musical number on the show, a medley of all the nominated original songs. Viewers will be spared the usually campy Broadway-style music and dance extravaganza.
"We wanted to have the legendary Hobbit Dance and the Schizophrenic ballet," he quipped in a reference to two best movie contenders, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship
of the Ring" and "A Beautiful Mind."

Poor Little 'Step-Stooler'
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow has had it with Hollywood and is thinking of moving to London.
"Hollywood is a completely male-dominated world. I want to leave," she told the German newspaper Berliner Zeitung.
Paltrow, an Oscar winner for "Shakespeare in Love" who will be a presenter at Sunday's Academy Awards, said London is one option for her.
"I'm going to star in my first London theater production this spring, but after that I'm not sure what I will do. I'd like to stay in
Europe for a while, maybe in London, Berlin or Paris," she said.
Paltrow, who will turn 30 in September, added, "I also think about marrying and having children, but at the moment, I don't have any
concrete designs on how that should happen. It all lies in God's hands."
Poor Gwyneth Paltrow
Wants Name & Narration Removed
Rosie O'Donnell
Rosie O'Donnell is asking to have her name and voice removed from an Oscar-nominated documentary after learning that the filmmakers are involved
in a group that has been described as a homophobic cult.
The talk show host, who recently came out as a lesbian, narrated "Artists and Orphans: A True Drama," about a New York theater group that travels
to the former Soviet republic of Georgia to help orphaned and abandoned children. The film is competing against two other documentary shorts
for an Academy Award on Sunday.
But her spokeswoman said Wednesday that O'Donnell found out this week that the filmmakers — including director Lianne Klapper McNally — are involved
with the Fourth Way School. The group emphasizes personal development, and, according to various newspaper reports, bans homosexuals and
believes gays shouldn't be parents.
"If Rosie had known the truth about this organization, she never would have consented to lend her name and voice," said O'Donnell's publicist, Cindi Berger.
She added that "Rosie is angry that the background wasn't disclosed to her."

Steady Gig Til 2006
Rick Berman
Veteran "Star Trek" writer/producer Rick Berman has signed an eight-figure deal that will keep him at Paramount Pictures through the end of 2006.
The exclusive pact calls for Berman to create, develop and produce features for Paramount's film units as well as TV movies and series programming
for the studio's TV units. He'll also remain as scribe/exec producer on the latest "Star Trek" series, UPN's top-rated "Enterprise," while continuing
as a consultant on projects for Paramount's theme parks unit.
While Berman intends to continue to focus on "Enterprise" and the upcoming Paramount picture "Star Trek: Nemesis" for at least the next year, he's
expected to begin developing non-"Trek" properties at some point during the new deal.

Pasadena Doctor's Son Owes $?
David Lee Roth
A booking agent in the Houston area is suing David Lee Roth for unpaid bills.
The Houston Chronicle reports Louis Gavrel has filed suit against Roth, claiming Roth owes him more than $50,000. Gavrel says he booked
Roth in a number of venues and even cut Roth some slack during Roth's "cash flow problems."
Gavrel says the concerts stem back to 1999 and he hasn't been paid.

Auction News
Princess Diana
Letters and cards handwritten by Britain's Princess Diana, who died in a Paris car crash in 1997, could fetch up to $28,430 at auction later this
week, the auctioneers said Wednesday.
The former wife of heir to the throne Prince Charles sent the letters to Maud Pendrey, who worked as a housekeeper at the Althorp home of Diana's family.
The correspondence, described by Keys auction house as "rather special and unique" will go under the hammer at their salesroom in Aylsham, Norfolk, Friday afternoon.
The collection includes nine letters written between 1981 and 1988 and 14 Christmas or New Year cards dating from 1981 and 1995.

Survivor Speaks
Paula Poundstone
Poundstone finds that she can laugh after tragedy, tears
Stand-up comedian Paula Poundstone knows that many people have different expectations of her these days.
That she should be contrite, apologetic, and self-critical after being humbled by her misbehavior last year as well as being humiliated in the national
media. That her proper tone should be atonement. That the circumstances - while drunk she endangered her children and was charged with sexual abuse
crimes - dictate she should not be, you know, funny.
Then again, what is humor if not a coping mechanism? Or, as the saying goes: comedy = tragedy + time.
''Every now and then I'll be doing an interview,'' Poundstone says from her home in Santa Monica, Calif., ''and someone will say `Are you worried about
people thinking you're being cavalier and not taking it seriously enough?' And I say, `Oh, please. I don't see how anyone's day or life is made a stitch
better by knowing that Paula Poundstone has taken every second of her disaster and labored in pain over it. ' ... The people I owe apologies to, and
am laboring to make it up to, are my kids.''

For Graham, The Man Of Steele
Lolo Ferrari
A court ordered on Wednesday that the husband of late French porn star Lolo Ferrari be detained while he is investigated for her murder, his lawyer said.
Ferrari, who was billed as "the woman with the biggest breasts in the world" and had a reputed 71-inch silicone-enhanced bust, died in March
2000 of what police initially said were natural causes. They then investigated the possibility that she was suffocated.
The detention of her husband, Eric Vigne, came after he was placed under official investigation in February on suspicion of her murder.

Complaint Filed
Michelle Rodriguez
"Resident Evil" star Michelle Rodriguez has been accused of simple assault and harassment.
The woman, whom authorities did not identify, said she was lying in bed talking on the telephone when Rodriguez disconnected the phone, punched
her in the face, and started pulling her hair, police Deputy Director Edgar Martinez told The Jersey Journal of Jersey City.
The woman said Rodriguez blocked her from leaving, so she bit the actress's arm to escape the apartment, Martinez said.
After pleading innocent to the charges, Rodriguez was released on $2,500 bail. She could not be reached for comment.

Owes $45 Million In Back Taxes
Mario Kassar
Hollywood producer Mario Kassar has agreed to pay nearly $45 million in unpaid taxes to the Internal Revenue Service, ending a 14-year dispute with
the federal agency.
Kassar, whose films include the "Rambo" action series and "Basic Instinct," will pay $38 million in taxes for the 1988, 1989, and 1990 tax years,
according to U.S. Tax Court records. The remainder of the settlement covers penalties he incurred over that time.
"It was a satisfying resolution for both sides," said Kassar's tax attorney Steven Toscher. "It took a long time, but we're happy it's just done."

Not Going To Air Alcohol Ads After All
NBC
Three months after NBC announced it would break a decades-old, self-imposed ban on TV advertisements for distilled spirits, the television network
said on Wednesday it would not proceed with the ads after a storm of criticism from lawmakers and advocacy groups.
The network was criticized for its decision to carry ads for Diageo Plc's Smirnoff vodka by groups including the American Medical Association and Mothers
Against Drunk Driving. U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf and 12 other lawmakers sent a letter to NBC threatening stricter regulation of network advertising.
The Distilled Spirits Council, a trade group representing liquor makers, charged that the network's decision to halt ads was partly a result of lobbying
by brewers, one of the highest-spending advertising sectors.
Not Going To Air Alcohol Ads After All
First off, this story lies by saying that the alcohol ban was self-imposed. It was a basic tenet of the NAB, the National Association of Broadcasters.
The motto of the NAB went along the lines that TV was viewed in a mulitude of homes, and better to err on the side of safety.
The last sentence is very telling.
A Museum Of WHAT?
Icelandic Phallological Museum
From geysers to glaciers, Iceland is blessed with innumerable natural wonders.
But one Icelander has chosen to ignore his country's impressive geology and focus on the more obscure phallology, the study of the penis -- the Icelandic mammal
penis in this case.
Down an alley off Reykjavik's main shopping street, travelers will find an odd example of one man's life work, the Icelandic Phallological Museum, more commonly
referred to as the penis museum.
Sigurdur Hjartarson, a high school history teacher, erected the museum in 1997, after collecting dozens of penises from the various mammals of his homeland.
"Some people don't know how to react to something like this. They think I am queer or pervert. I like that, not letting people know whether I am
joking or a serious collector, which I certainly am."
Hjartarson says a penis cannot maintain its form without proper care.
