[Cat Stevens]

great news: tinyurl.com/yq8vqn

first tour after 15 years. I'd have to think real hard whether I'd go to Dylan's concert if he ever comes here again after the 1991 gig, but for this man... front row! woot!

[Cat Stevens]

Google only came up with that, except for the another bit from the Serbian (of course) newspaper:

www.blic.co.yu/zabava.php?id=26998

it says (apart from the bit already mentioned above) that in an email to the Canadian Press he wrote: "I'm gathering musicians at the moment. I haven't played guitar in 14 years, so I'm a bit nervous". Canada & USA in may, Europe in summer. More details about the tour in february.

how long can he stay on a stage? 30 mins? how old he is, 84?

[manho]

lenny is a 7th dan zen grandmaster, he has the power of mind over matter. remember the old kung fu series when david carradine would jump down into a pit full of snakes and just with the power of thought he would dominate them and not be bitten? lenny can do that, too.

[manho]

lenny can also levitate so if the old varicose veins start giving him gyp he just lifts them up and gives them a breather.




here's cripes's famous piece on the canadian crooner:

"What rhymes with Rosicrucians? Ah hell with it.....'la lala la la la'...yeah, that works...damn, I'm good!"


classic. sometimes I think cripey dislikes lenny just coz whettie digs gim.

[cripes]

You're thinking of Phil Ochs.

I just don't get Lenny....to me he's just a lech singing songs bragging about all the broads he's porked.

[Cat Stevens]

while I was searching for more info on the tour (the above few lines being all there is, unless someone finds the original canadian article), I've stumbled upon this:

hey, way to go, RNR hall of fame. maybe madonna & len da man could duet on couple of songs?

[Some king]

Sorry, I already donated to the "wordy old jews who can't sing for shit fund" when that nice young man Bob was here.

Pass.

[manho]

talking about jews here's a great jewish joke that a real jew told me in london many years ago...

a typical old mel brooks style jewish guy gets lost in the mountains (don't ask!) and he's trapped up to his chin in the snow after an avalanche or something. freezing to death and desperate he finally sees a group of guys in the distance. when they get closer to him one of them shouts out, "RED CROSS". the jewish guy immediately replies, "I'VE GIVEN, ALREADY."

Banana album=good
the rest=shite

[owen]

women really fall for this shite?

[Cat Stevens]

you guys suck so bad.

except nick and me, of course.

*edit: and the biggest lenny fan, Dag, but he's gone now, pining for the fjords.

I'm with Cripes on this. I don't know most of the stuff, but I have the one with Suzanne on it, and have heard a few more, and it makes me physically uncomfortable to listen to it. Not sure if it's 'bad', but I can't handle it.

[dino]

the only album i can listen to is The Future, that one is brilliant - the sad please kill me i'm a loser why dont you want to fuck with me anymore late 60 early 70s folksinger of my ass is deadly boring

saw him in concert in 1993 and he was terrific tho, but there was a great band with him

his last two albums are total shite

I'm assuming that you're referring to 'New Skin for the Old Banana'?

lenny could well be mixing up lenny with lou. both jews. both whine a bit. both a bit arty farty.

lenny dresses better than any other pop star. ever.

and if you think his stuff doesn't get women sucking your dick then you are a seriously useless cunt when it comes to the fairer sex.

[cripes]

boby's stuff has never been any help to me in that area. I always had to pull out my Donovan.
