Well, I don't like the Gypsy video. That might be blasphemous as well.

As for the song, maybe Lindsey should do it on his upcoming tour. I know he had the 3 guitars for AHI, but let's see how one sounds on the song. When he introduced the tune, he could tell his version of the mattress on the floor story that Stevie gave us so often on the Unleashed tour.

I will say that I am a little miffed with the song right now. Last June, I went into this room to sign a contract and the tail end of Gypsy -- the guitar solo -- was playing through the speakers as I entered. I was sure that this was a good omen. That it meant it was the right decision for me. Now, just 9 months later, that agreement went down the drain and rather acrimoniously. I feel that I was misled by FM and Gypsy both!

Nah. That's not nearly as blasphemous. I would like the video better without Stevie dancing in the leg warmers in "present day". I could deal with sticking to one era and since I love anything retro, the black and white scenes win out for me.

Oh, you're singing my song with this idea! Remember how he gave her his two cents at the end of the tour in NZ? Priceless.

Well, I can't blame you! Sucks!

He should have kicked at her legs and threw his guitar at her for old times sakes.

That's the best thing Hejira has ever done for us.

The funniest thing for me is imagining the look on Stevie's face, when he said that. But it had an impression. I bet she won't say he had his drummer call her up anymore.

Poor Bob. Hard being the middle man in the fuzzy memory haze of those two minds...

i don't know. for me, the story about what LB said to tease SN during the concert, however much fun it may be, does not nearly measure up to recording for posterity and sharing with us 3 vids - RAB, IAW, and BL - at 92Y.

Yes, we take pleasure in different things. It is true. Michele

Stop that!

What other rock video pays stylistic tribute to three Hollywood studios of the Golden Age: the Warner Brothers social-realist dramas, the sparkling Paramount romantic comedies, & the Fox musicals in three-strip dye-process Technicolor?

And what was that about anyway? I thought James Cagney was going to run out into the rain, grab Stevie and try to help her organize independent ballet dancers into a union.

And if Cagney had spoken Yiddish, would Stevie have understood him?
