I'm amazed that I'm number two at quantity - It must be because I'm such
an old timer here

Jbuck is high up on the list too, I see. Must be from the old days

So you read RMB but are too timid to post there anymore?... How
whacked out is that... Have no fear... I remember when you were
there (rmbee) all the time and only came here (rmdee) to seek safety
from all your inciteful offerings and friend-making over there
yonder... What went wrong, ultimately, between you and rmbee?; you
seemed as well matched as any place to any personage...

P.S. There was a poll, you obviously weren't on the mailing list; you
aren't in the archives, mate...

So you're intimate with Rreal's underpants?... Strange, very
strange...

Takes one to believe they've spotted one... 'Mommy, I saw a
troll!... I diiid... I did.. And it looked just like I do!'...

And now you're too timid to post on the Beatles newsgroup, what, are
you punishing them?... They are suffering from you absence... Don't
let the Beatle children suffer!...

Not only do you call everyone a troll, Mr. Peck Peck Peck Peck
Peckerhead, you make us all uncomfortable with your constant underwear
references. You remind me of badlands.

You're just miffed you weren't included... I tried to get your
email...

Ironically, you'd easily rank higher in the 100 Greatest
rec.music.Beatles Posters of All Time than you did over here... You'd
be top 30 in RMBee, easily...

I don't see you posting your emails here... Why would anyone else...

This thread may be the most humorous one I've read in a long time,
puhleeeese, all of you keep it going. Better than today's "Garfield"

Indeed. Funny though, I didn't see Pilgrim, ironhills, Kurt Schroeder,
Nicola Menicaci or Barbara's names on the list. Didn't even see our
dear M. Rick (though I did spy a Mr. Rick, a different poster, I
believe.) Might they all be listed under different names?

And where are Robert Fuhrel and Maureen? Where would our little group
be without them?

Nice compilation though, crazytimes; I wish I had your time on my
hands!

Thanks for bringing up those names... A bunch of the missed were
indeed missed... There were too many names and not enough spots...
Pilgrim is there under 'Lone Pilgrim'... Barbara (are she and 'Babs'
the same?) might be on there twice... Mr. Rick is definitely
M.Rick... Ironhills hated Dylan and Dylan's fans based on her
formative years living with her Dylan-adoring father...

When I read your posts without having anything to do with the
discussion, and see how you try to screw over everyone you have a
"dialogue" with...all the posturing, exaggerated shock, pompous
assumptions, and often downright meanness...I realize what an utter
buffoon you are...not to be treated seriously.

But I gotta admit, your unintended comedy is priceless.

Does anyone know when exactly rec.music.dylan started. I see Post
Activity records for 1993.

I don't know how much to trust of these Google records, but according
to the Post Activity record, one of the very most immortal RMD
figures, Olof Bjorner, made exactly 2 posts, (http://groups.google.com/

Here's a post from April 1999, celebrating the impending 10th
anniversary of rmd.

Subject: rec.music.dylan birthday

We have now been able to determine conclusively that the actual
birth date for rec.music.dylan was July 31, 1989. This is the date
that voting was completed and the group passed, so on that day
rec.music.dylan was born. We're about three months away from
celebrating the 10th anniversary of that milestone. The countdown
begins...

July 31, 1989: a day to remember.

And here's another post from the very same John Howells, only a couple
of weeks after rmd's 10th anniversary. He resurrects one of his posts
from early 1990, a review of Dylan's January 12, 1990 appearance at
Toad's Place in New Haven, Connecticut. Nostalgia just isn't what it
used to be, but this is a nice reminder anyway of times gone by.

Subject: RMD is 10 years old this month

That's right, this month marks the 10th anniversary of
rec.music.dylan.
To celebrate this event, I'm reposting an old article I posted back in
early 1990. It's a tape review of the freshly performed Toads Place
event of January 12, 1990. I would encourage others to repost old
articles if they still have them!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The legendary Toads tapes... Just where the hell is Toads anyway? I
forget... Also, I'm open to corrections, clarifications, complaints,
and
comments from anyone who was at this particular gig. I have read the
previous postings, but unfortunately I managed to lose the articles.

In an interview in 1965 or 1966 (Olof, help!), Dylan was asked about
his
ambitions and he replied, facetiously, that he wanted to be a trapeze
artist. It seems that Dylan has finally accomplished that goal, for
here he
is very much the trapeze artist performing without a net. At other
times on
these tapes he resembles the tightrope walker constantly on the verge
of
losing control and plumetting face first into the dirt but somehow
making
it to the other side intact. In many ways Dylan's current touring
career is
a lot like that of Chuck Berry's. Berry, for the last 30 years, has
been on
the road playing incredibly sloppy shows with any pickup band that
happens
to be around at the time, and the loose offhand manner in which he
plays
his famous tunes can be both frustrating and exciting at the same
time.
There is a major difference between Berry and Dylan: Berry hasn't
written a
new song in years and doesn't tour to promote any particular album,
whereas
Dylan is still creating sometimes brilliant songs and still records
vital
albums which must be promoted. Therefore, the most unusual aspect of
Dylan's current tour is that he, being the legend that he is, can take
such
incredible risks while at the same time promoting an album of no
little
importance. The usual practice would be for the singer to put together
a
polished and well rehearsed band and take the act on the road with all
the
publicity machinery rolling to hype the event.

But this is Bob Dylan, not Billy Joel.

Ostensibly as a rehearsal for the upcoming South American tour, his
first
ever, Dylan and company (G.E. Smith on guitar, but I'm not sure of the
bass
and drums anymore) scheduled an impromptu appearance at Toads, which I
understand is a 500 seat club, and proceeded to play all night as any
local
bar band might do. Excitement literally fills the air as, to the
astonishment of the audience, Dylan plays set after set - each time
announcing his return after a break. One or two sets is about all
anyone
could ever hope to expect, but when it's announced there will be a
third
and then a fourth! Unbelievable! Since this is an audience tape, and a
good
one, crowd noise is fairly prominent but not intrusive during the
songs
themselves. Normally I get annoyed at talkative tapers, but the few
brief
comments overheard by those near the recorder actually add to the
atmosphere. At a concert, excessive noise and commentary is
inexcusable,
but at a nightclub with most of the patrons smashed out of their
minds,
it's to be expected. Therefore, audience noise on this tape doesn't
bother
me in the least.

The songs themselves: a most unusual collection of classics, new and
recent
songs, and offbeat covers. The tone is set right away with a cover of
the
old Joe South hit "Walk a Mile in My Shoes". Later, there are
surprises
such as "Dancing in the Dark", "Key To the Highway", "Confidential",
"Lonesome Whistle Blues" and others. They just seemed to be trying out
anything that came to mind, sometimes with good results and sometimes
not.
Some songs, such as "I've Been All Around This World", show great
potential
but are sabotoged by Dylan himself. Some songs are attempted more than
once, often with the second or third passes showing dramatic
improvement.
"Political World", for instance, is performed three times. The first
version is probably the most exciting, but the final one is a little
more
together. "Tears of Rage" is absolutely fantastic. "Pretty Peggy-O",
which
would be improved a bit by the time of the PSU concert a couple of
days
later, shows great promise. "Man in the Long Black Coat" has an
unbelievably mean and harsh tone - much spookier than the album
version. Of
special note is Smith's high pitched sustains at appropriate moments
to
provide extra dramatic intensity.

Some songs, or at least the arrangements of them, should be retired:
"One
More Cup of Coffee" just sounds terrible and reminds me of my very
first
garage band when I was 13. If Dylan actually sings real words on
"Rainy Day
Women" I would sure like to know it, but I don't see the point in
playing
this song anymore. There are far better rock and roll numbers with
real
lyrics he could perform. This arrangement of "Memphis Blues Again" is
starting to bore me and it just seems to be getting worse. I strongly
feel
it's time Dylan and Smith parted company. Does anybody else feel that
this
minimalist experiment has gone on too long and is starting to get
stale?
Maybe if an additional guitarist were brought on board the sound would
improve, but for now Dylan's rhythm guitar playing is sketchy at best.
The
greater fault has to lie with his sidemen, however, because he tried
this
same sort of thing with the Rolling Thunder Revue and they never had
any
trouble keeping up with his erratic chord changes. G.E. Smith,
although a
very accomplished guitarist, lacks imagination and doesn't have a
unique
style. The bass and drums, although very powerful, are just
rudimentary.
And while I'm ranting, is it really necessary for Dylan to sing "All
Along
the Watchtower" and "Like a Rolling Stone" all on one note?

Still, this is a very exciting and worthwhile tape. When Dylan walks
the
highwire you never know what will happen. I think it's admirable that
he
takes chances when he could be playing it safe with a large backup
band,
but I believe it's time for something new.

The tapes sound pretty good for audience recordings. The atmosphere of
excitement comes through pretty well.

Favorite moments: After the intro for "Like a Rolling Stone" has
played for
a while, Dylan tells the band "too fast" and proceeds to slow it down
with
much better results; the first "Political World" with the extended jam
at
the end; the crowd going absolutely crazy during Springsteen's
"Dancing in
the Dark" and yelling "Bruuuce!" when the song is finished so that it
sounds like they're booing Dylan!

Sound: 8 (pretty good audience tape)

Performance: 7 (some real trash here, but also some brilliance)

To be fair, all these songs were divided into four separate sets, over
a four or five hour period. Even so, still pretty damned impressive.

On the (different, I guess) subject of favorite old posts, I always
liked this one from '96:

------------------
This story is reprinted (without permission) from the
Greenville, SC newspaper "The Greenville News" for
Sunday - June 2, 1996:

A few weeks ago, when Lake Jocassee fishing guide
Danny McCall took a party of four fisherman out for
an eight-hour excursion, everything was standard
operating procedure.

Another day, another trip, another chance for big fish.

But that all changed when, about an hour into the trip,
McCall learned that one of the guys' last names was Dylan.

"What's his first name?," McCall said.

"They said, 'Bob' and I said 'Gee, that's a coincidence.'"

It was more than a coincidence.

Bob Dylan, the rock icon whose tunes like "Blowin' in the
Wind" and "Like a Rolling Stone," remain musical standards,
was aboard McCall's boat.

Three of his friends -- all male -- accompanied him.

"They were as laid back as anybody you'd ever want
to meet," McCall said. "They stripped down to their
shorts, got their feet wet, and cut up."

[My note: I'm pretty sure we're not talking "Boxer
shorts or Briefs" here, so don't anyone
panic!! :^) ]

[Willie note from present: I'll bet they *were* Boxers or Briefs. Why
would you "strip down" to anything else?]

They also drank some beer and admired the scenery.

"They enjoyed the ride -- they wanted to see the
waterfalls and look at all the mountains," McCall
said. "But they fished some, too."

Everyone in the party fished some, McCall said, and
Dylan caught at least a couple of smallish bass.

McCall said Dylan, who is now in his mid-50s, was
plain and simple in appearance and manner.

"He was kind of a small guy, with dark hair thinning
on top," McCall said. "He was just your average guy."

And how did McCall know this was actually the
Minnesota-born Robert Zimmerman?

"Oh, there was no doubt," McCall said. "I'm familar
with him and his music. I just hadn't noticed him
much until that point."

"I think they were on their way to Atlanta."

Dylan arrived quietly, and slipped out the same way,
which is probably just what he wanted.

"I'm sure he wouldn't want anyone hugging his neck or
licking his boots or hounding him for an autograph,"
McCall said.

In fact, when McCall met his wife back at the landing,
he didn't even tell her who Dylan was until after she
had met him and they had departed.

"I didn't tell her who it was until we were headed home,"
McCall said. "She about killed me."

Dylan enjoyed his quiet day on the lake, McCall said, and
provided a guide with an afternoon he'll never forget.

"He was just cool -- one of the top-of-the-line people
you might take out," McCall said. "I'd like for him to
come back."

I think you can find rmd post activity going back to 1989 at:

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.music.dylan/browse_frm/month/1989-08

Unfortunately, the very first post available in the Google archives
(August 11, 1989) appears to be a reply to a previous post. Given a
July 31, 1989 birthday for rmd, there was obviously some posting
activity in the ten or eleven days prior to this first archived post.
Some of those very first, unarchived posts do, however, appear to be
quoted in the first archived posts, so they're not lost forever.

Mike Spoerndle, Founder of New Haven Nightclub Toad's Place, Dead at
59

May 09, 2011
By Thom Duffy, New York

Mike Spoerndle, founder of the renowned New Haven, Conn. nightclub
Toad's Place, was found dead at his home Friday, according to the New
Haven Register. He was 59.

While Spoerndle was majority owner of the club, Toad's Place not only
featured acts such as R.E.M. and U2 as they rose to fame, the 750-plus-
capacity venue welcomed special gigs by the likes of Bruce
Springsteen, Bob Dylan, James Taylor, Billy Joel and the Rolling
Stones, who launched their Steel Wheels Tour with a secret show at the
club in August 1989.

An imposing presence with a gruff charm, Spoerndle hosted hundreds of
managers, booking agents and record label executives at Toad's, which
rivaled rooms in larger cities as one of the music industry's top
showcasing venues.The club continues to book both national and local
artists.

"His personality was as large as he was," says Jim Koplik, chairman of
the Northeast division of Live Nation, who helped book Toad's for many
years with Spoerndle and Brian Phelps, Toad's former manager, who is
now owner of the club. "He lived a roller-coaster life."

While the cause of Spoerndle's death had not been reported at press
time, he struggled with substance abuse in recent years. He
relinquished control of Toad's Place to Phelps in 1997 and then sued
unsuccessfully in 2000 to regain ownership of the club.

"I lost my family, my business, everything that mattered to me,"
Spoerndle told the Yale Daily Herald in 2000, after emerging from one
phase of rehabilitation.

Spoerndle, a native of Ohio, moved to New Haven in the mid 1970s to
attend the Culinary Institute of America. Taking over the site of a
popular Yale campus restaurant called Hungry Charlie's, Spoerndle
first opened his own restaurant, then converted the space to a
nightclub.

During the pre-MTV era from the mid `70s to the early 80s, when the
nation's showcase club circuit was key to the development of new
talent, Toad's Place helped build the audience for an array of
emerging national acts: Blondie, Huey Lewis and the News, Stevie Ray
Vaughan, Rickie Lee Jones, R.E.M., U2 and many others. Spoerndle also
regularly booked regional favorites, including NRBQ and John Cafferty
and the Beaver Brown Band. And the club ventured beyond pop and rock
bookings: contemporary jazz artist Jeff Lorber released a track
titled "Toad's Place" on his 1979 "Water Sign" album.

Spoerndle became involved with local charities and, in 1993, he
received the Elm-Ivy award for contributing to a strong relationship
between the city of New Haven and Yale University.

Despite his struggles with substance abuse, Spoerndle is remembered as
"the man who made Connecticut rock," as the New Haven Register
reported.

The afternoon of August 12, 1989, Spoerndle telephoned friends to
invite them to a private birthday party for Jim Koplik at Toad's
Place. The invitation was a ruse to draw guests to a rare private
club performance by the Rolling Stones.

"The funny thing is," Koplik recalls, "I got a lot of presents that
night."

Sad to hear it. Back in the seventies, we always left out the vowels.

Weird that it seems Rachel disappeared before her enshrinement in this
thread. And I doubt #2 (John Howells) checks in anymore (though John
would probably have a weird reaction to seeing this). I miss others
that have left: Seth Kullick (most recent post, 2006), Craig Jamieson
(who seems to have dropped out in '98), and if the list includes Bob
Dylan at 100, it should include Roger McGuinn, who actually did post
in the late 90's.

Speaking of Seth Kulick, he created a web page with notes about the
roots/influences of many of Bob's songs. Is there a more comprehensive
site like this? http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~skulick/edlis.html

Hey, thanks... I'm aware that May Pang used to post on The Beatles
newsgreoup, and Larry Gelbert on the M*A*S*H one (among others), so it
I don't doubt that McGuinn might have posted here.
