He was born in London, in 1948, to a Greek <BR/>Cypriot father and a Swedish mother.<BR/><BR/>Stevens turned to writing music while studying art in a school outside of <BR/>London. Soon, he gave up his studies to pursue a career as a singer. He had<BR/> his first hit single, I Love <A HREF="http://www.barebackcollege.com" REL="nofollow">hot twinks</A> in 1966. In 1968, however, <BR/>he contracted tuberculosis and had to be confined a year to a hospital, where he wrote the <BR/>album Mona Bone Jakon. In 1970 he released <A HREF="http://gay-bareback-men.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Tea for the Tillerman</A>, which quickly<BR/> made the top ten in the United States and propelled him to superstar status. <BR/>Tillerman and the later Teaser and the Firecat are now classicsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10261187.post-9429816819498398682007-07-16T04:21:00.000-04:002007-07-16T04:21:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10261187.post-1158093403266828982006-09-12T16:36:00.000-04:002006-09-12T16:36:00.000-04:00"Tea For the Tillerman" was used to create the ver..."Tea For the Tillerman" was used to create the very first music "video" I ever saw (and maybe one of the first ever made).<BR/><BR/>A talented photography student at my college shot themed 35 mm slides to go with each song on the album. He then set up two projectors that were synched to fade in and out with each other and presented the whole album and accompanying slide show while playing the album on a turntable. Many of us sat slackjawed when the pics for "Sad Lisa" included nudes of one of the hottest (and seemingly most inaccessible) female students in the whole school.<BR/><BR/>This was about 1969 or 1970 and, at the time, I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen.<BR/><BR/>Who would have guessed that 35 years later, iPhoto would let us all "create" similar masterworks so effortlessly as to render their existence almost meaningless?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10261187.post-1158025021020342142006-09-11T21:37:00.000-04:002006-09-11T21:37:00.000-04:00I'm supposed to be a grownup, and grownups don't m...<I>I'm supposed to be a grownup, and grownups don't measure the passage of their lives by pop records.</I><BR/><BR/>Who says?<BR/><BR/>I'm so happy that I've met all of you kids then. <BR/><BR/>I've done that my entire life, too.

One day of it's quite enough, thanks very much, and now on Day Five or so I've reverted to the old self. NP: John Coltrane's "Giant Steps." Very loud.<BR/><BR/>GlueBirl, "High Fidelity" is never far from my mind. While I'm very happily married and John Cusack's character is a miserable mess, I fight <I>being</I> him every day of my life. I'm supposed to be a grownup, and grownups don't measure the passage of their lives by pop records.<BR/><BR/>Jack Black, that's more Bobby Lightfoot's line. <BR/><BR/>Found <A HREF="http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/High_Fidelity" REL="nofollow">a great page</A> in WikiQuotes, a bunch of dialog from the film. The scene you're remembering goes like this:<BR/><BR/><B>Customer:</B> Hi, do you have the song "I Just Called To Say I Love You?" It's for my daughter's birthday.<BR/><BR/><B>Barry:</B> Yeah, we have it.<BR/><BR/>Customer: Great great... Well, can I have it?<BR/><BR/><B>Barry:</B> No, you can't.<BR/><BR/><B>Customer:</B> Why not?<BR/><BR/><B>Barry:</B> Because it's sentimental tacky crap, that's why. Do we look like a store that sells "I Just Called to Say I Love You"? Go to the mall!<BR/><BR/><B>Customer:</B> What's your problem?!<BR/><BR/><B>Barry:</B> Do you even know your daughter? There's no way she likes that song! Oh oh oh wait! Is she in a coma?<BR/><BR/>See, I have to fight that impulse every time "Sweet Baby James" oozes out of the JBLs.<BR/><BR/>And Mike just gave an absolute note-perfect illustration of the problem: Women (or, at least, the women <I>I</I> know and love) think that the importance we pathetically-trying-to-be-hip fellas attach to music is an indicator of arrested adolescence, of having "ish-shues."<BR/><BR/>Philip Toubus/Paul Thomas didn't just take up a career in porn; he took up a career in <A HREF="http://imdb.com/name/nm0680119/" REL="nofollow">LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of porn.</A> Between 1974 and 2005, he acted in THREE HUNDRED porn films (including the immortal "Friday the 13th: A Nude Beginning" and "Cumshot Review 2," which I can only imagine is as riveting as its title).<BR/><BR/>Jeebus, just looking at 1985 alone, a particularly busy year, I've got to imagine he was pretty chafed and sore by Christmas.Neddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17079885040758748553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10261187.post-1157985995803035972006-09-11T10:46:00.000-04:002006-09-11T10:46:00.000-04:00Okay, that was an excellent post.

And as much as I do dispise Andrew Llloyd Webbbber, et. al., I do have a soft spot for the JCSS original recording (not the horrific film soundtrack, mind you).

Philip Toubus, who played Peter, found himself struggling as a mainstream actor. But three years after appearing in Jesus Christ Superstar, he changed his name to Paul Thomas."

Jesus. I can sort of stand "Fire and Rain" if stumbled across on the radio every 5-10 years. Can't stomcah anything else.<BR/><BR/>Simon, I know who Rolf Harris is soley due to a station my Dad listened to everyday, and the DJ's habit of playing "Two Buffalos" - strictly as a novelty tune.

My old LPs, played over and over back in the time before time are long gone, lost during one move or another over the years. So I waited and waited and waited, and finally, Majikat arrived in my mailbox. I rushed inside, put it into the CD player, pushed play and ... hated it. Every last cut grated my nerves and made me want to scream.<BR/>Since then, Majikat has sat on the shelf, lonely and unlistened-to. Sometimes, I guess, you just can't go back.
