Hey, the more the merrier!

Jimmy forgot his roots. Covering Alex Harvey's MUSIC FOR MONEY? I want to go back to those days and hear them. The fact is since OFF TO SEE THE LIZARD, Jimmy has TRUTHFULLY only wrote a couple of songs. He even stole credit for a couple of songs that certain Reefers wrote. Also a fact, if it's not ...

Bernie Taupin and Elton John wrote Yellow Brick Road in about a weekend Yeah, and Jim Croce wrote most of his first big album in a day, but in both cases those were people at the peak of their abilities. And in both situations, I would imagine that the "writing" was more a gathering of lo...

A new live version of "Pirate Looks at 40" w/out Fingers is just WRONG! Flat out wrong! As for covers, I'm just gald he has good taste in music. Also, if you read DSTC and then listen to the album, I think you will realize that he is an even more brilliant and creative songwriter than you...

I can't take another greatest hits. It seems to me that all of the music from Fruitcakes until DSTC is not considered a hit. I am tired of all of the remakes, cover songs, hits. Will Jimmy EVER put out a Whole NEW CD without any covers, remakes, hits? Does Jimmy have it in him to write 10-12 new so...

Jimmy would make more if he released it on Mailboat...

Really odd...

If that's true, why would JB release on MCA?

You can't copyright a word... he can TRADEMARK it... but in this case, it wouldn't apply.

Here is a question...who owns the rights to songs recorded under an MCA contract, but never released? I'm thinking of PTYD15YOGH. It's sitting in a vault somewhere. Who owns it? MCA would own the rights to all recordings while JB was under contract, whether they were released or not. Theoretically,...

I just have one question. How the heck can they have re-recorded the older stuff without Fingers? Fingers plays an integral part in most of the earlier stuff. What, are they just going to keep his part the same and change everything else in the background? They rerecorded from scratch. Take the ins...

I just reread the press release... would edit my post but I can't right now... the press release says it IS an MCA release... which means Jimmy has no say, either in the title or in the release or song selections. If anything, I bet JB is p***... it steps on his project. My sense is that Jimmy WAS s...

I wonder what kind of caca MCA gave Jimmy over recording old tracks again - ` They can't give him any caca... MCA only owns the sound recordings Jimmy made back when he recorded for them - they have NO rights on the song itself, just the VERSION that was recorded while Jimmy was under contract.... ...

Any chance that MCA is looking to capitalize on the popularity and releasing something on their own? I can't imagine Jimmy would willingly go back to MCA and not use mailboat, especially if he is rerecording songs and adding new ones. How many post BBB&B releases were on MCA? BBB&B was on M...

Jimmy said in a pre-concert interview that this one would not be on Mailboat because MCA owns the rights to many of the songs that will appear on the CD. So it's definitely not on mailboat. Mville.com had Buffett Buffet posted before, but then they pulled it. Maybe it was renamed...in a drunken stu...

Man you people need to broaden your horizons, go buy a corona and chill, I said that Parrotheads will latch on to the next best thing! and used Kenny as one example. When jimmy retires who knows who will be out there, doing the concert rounds. So if not Kenny, then what artist has a "Tropical&...

Sorry but what will probally happen is the parrothead nation will do just like the Deadheads and latch on to the next closest thing and keep the traditions going, (ie. phish), so Kenny Chesney's carear is gonna get a huge boast in about 5-10 years. Can't see that happening. Totally different vibes.

why wont my quotes show up in those nifty boxes?? Hit the QUOTE button in the upper right hand corner of the message you want to quote.... Then, it will show up .... You type in what you want to say underneath the original poster's comment... i do but only the tags keep showing up. I've had enough ...

hey... so here's where you all are hiding!

I had a chance to talk with Fingers in Key West at MOTM and also saw him play in Irvine last November. I think something happened between them to cause this problem. The official word is that Jimmy put his foot down and would not let family go on the Tour a few years ago. Very little fact but a lot...

I'm a Dialysis Assistant........I help file, close down the systems, computer work, cleaning, answer phones, pull needles, etc......basically the little peon of the dialysis world, but I ain't complaining!!! :) So I suppose "paper or plastic" is no longer an appropriate question?! :lol: I...
