Back in May of 1997, Michael Douglas
attended the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction
ceremony in Cleveland. I remember seeing him there
and at the RNRHOF Museum opening of the
"Want to Take You Higher" exhibit that coincided
with Crosby Stills and Nash's induction into the
Rock Hall.
Douglas attended the event for his friend Stephen Stills.

Graham appears on the latest release from ACOUSTIC JUNCTION.
*short bio*
The jam band Acoustic Junction was formed in Boulder, CO in 1989
by singer/guitarist Reed Foehl; although the group endured endless
line-up changes in the years which followed, other mainstays of
the roster included multi-instrumentalist Tim Roper, bassist Curtis
Thompson and drummer Matt Coconis. Earning a devoted cult following
thanks to their relentless tour schedule, Acoustic Junction independently
issued a pair of albums, Surrounded by Change and Love It for
What It Is, which together sold in excess of 50,000 copies; the
group then signed to Capricorn, but as the "Acoustic" label no
longer fit their music they rechristened themselves Fool's Progress
to release their self-titled 1997 major label debut. A return
to the better-known Acoustic Junction moniker preceded the 1999
release of Live 5-4-99; Strange Days appeared early the following
year. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
Their new album is titled "Strange Days" and is out on Omad records.
It can be purchased at cdnow.com
Graham added his vocals to the song: "Dancin for You."

New Exhibit @ Rock & Roll Hall of Fame:
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum opened it's largest single
artist exhibit ever, a tribute to John
Lennon, on October 9th, which would have been the slain Beatle's sixtieth
birthday. The show, running
concurrently with a new Jimi Hendrix retrospective, occupies three floors of the Cleveland museum
and
comprises more than 200 artifacts culled from Yoko Ono's personal
collection. Among them are handwritten lyrics for such songs as
"Imagine" and "In My Life"; more than ten guitars , including
his twelve string
Rickenbacker; and clothing ranging from his Sgt. Pepper uniform
to a denim jacket he wore throughout the
Seventies. The collection, on display until next fall, also includes
family snapshots, items from Lennon's child-
hood, and the bed that Lennon and Ono slept in when they first
moved to New York. A portion of the exhibition
will showcase Lennon's drawings and paintings, as well as several
never-before-seen collages.

Theodore Sturgeon's science fiction blueprint for the rock band
gestalt
by David Crosby
I'm an inveterate lover of science fiction. I always have been
and still am. I read it constantly. I started as an early teenager--long
before the Byrds, or Crosby, Stills & Nash, even before I became
a musician--back in the mid-1950s. I started with Robert Heinlein's
juvenile novels, Rocket Ship Galileo then Red Planet, Farmer in
the Sky, Between Planets, Space Cadet. I read them all. They were
my escape. I was a little chubby kid in a high school, not at
all popular, and lonely, and this was a world where I could...I
could really dig it. Then it just progressed, the natural steps
you would expect, Clarke and Van Vogt, Campbell, Analog...and
I just went right into it from there.
Then somebody passed Theodore Sturgeon's More than Human to me.
And that novel-which of course is built around the title story
of this collection, "Baby Is Three"-was the standout for me. The
relationship described in that story, people transcending the
lacks in themselves and making a whole that's greater than anybody
else could be because of it... There was a perceived lack in me
and I felt sort of like a person that wasn't gonna... So there
was a strong emotional resonance for me and for every other little
lonely kid with those people, because they were different too.
They didn't fit in either. But when they linked, they were this
awesome being...
(This essay was first published as the Foreword to BABY IS THREE,
Vol.6 of The Complete Stories of Theodore Sturgeon, edited by
Paul Williams and published by North Atlantic Books, 1999.)
(The complete essay can be obtained by ordering a copy of Crawdaddy!

New Road for Kerouac
"Orpheus Emerging," an unpublished 1945 novella by Jack Kerouac,
will be available on
the internet next month, according to digital publisher LiveREADS.
The novella, which will not be available in traditional paper
form for two years, will have a suggested
retail price of $3.95 from LiveREADS.
"I was talking with Kerouac's estate and we agreed that a book
this size would be perfect for our
format," said publisher Paul Bresnick, who founded LiveREADS this
spring. The novella is its first
title.
The autobiographical story features characters based on Alan Ginsberg,
William Burroughs,
and other who later formed the "Beat," literary movement, which
Kerouac defined in his novel
"On the Road."

Johnny Winter Tour Canceled
© Henry Diltz
AP NEWS Wire
Oct 26 2000
Blues/rock legend Johnny Winter has been forced to cancel a fall
tour and undergo surgery
to repair a hip injury thanks to a nasty tumble recently in his
Connecticut home.
"The surgery went well and Johnny is resting peacefully," manager
Teddy Slatus said.
Still, an extensive tour of the Midwest and Northwest U.S. and
western Canada had
to be scrapped so Winter can recuperate.
"Johnny plans to spend the next several months healing and working
on material
for his next CD," Slatus said.
The prolific bluesman has already released two albums in 2000:
Back To Beaumont and a best-of package, The Return of Johnny Guitar.
Although still hospitalized and convalescing in northern Connecticut,
Winter
is expected to make a full recovery.
His rep says plans are already in the works for him to hit the
road again
early next year, and a European swing is a possibility.

Stephen Stills-Philadelphia, PA
2/17/74-Academy Of Music
Stephen Stills performed at the Philadelphia Academy of Music.
Yes, it
was true, Stills playing in the house of Eugene Ormandy and the
Philadelphia Orchestra. A place made specifically for the enjoyment
of
music. The opportunity to hear Stephen in a great setting. He
did not
disappoint.
Love The One You're With opened the show with Stills backed by a band
that included Joe Lala, percussion, Jerry Aiello, keyboards, Russ
Kunkel,
drums, Kenny Passerelli, bass, and Donnie Dacus, guitar. Wooden Ships,
Pretty Girl Why, My Favorite Changes, Jet Set/Rocky Mountain Way, and a
rousing Special Care were played in an opening electric set.
Stephen came out alone after a brief intermission for an acoustic
set of
Change Partners, Know You Got To Run, Crossroads/Can't Catch Me, the Beatles
Blackbird, Everybody's Talking, 4+20, and Word Game.
The show continued after band introductions with Four Days Gone, We Are
Not Helpless/America's Children, New Mama, Bluebird and
49 Bye Byes/For What It's Worth.
The version of My Favorite Changes, Stephen played here and then on the
CSNY 1974 Summer tour was more up-tempo then the final studio
cut that
appears on Stills 1975. I liked this version a little better then
the
studio. Other hi-lites of the show for me were
Wooden Ships, Pretty Girl Why, Special Care, and Bluebird.
I saw Mr. Ormandy stage left near the end of the show and he had
a huge
smile on his face.
;-)
