CONCEPT FOR A DAY

SONICALLY AND CREATIVILY THE BEATLES "SARGENT PEPPERS LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND" IS A MILESTONE IN ROCK।IT'S WHEN ROCK PROVED THAT IT COULD BE JUST AS INVENTIVE,COMPLEX,AND MYSTERIOUSLY BEATIFUL AS THAT OF ANY CLASSICAL MUSIC।ALLTHOUGH IT WAS CALLED A CONCEPT ALBUM;IT WASN'T.
THERE WAS NO CONCEPT OTHER THAN PAULS LEAD-OFF SONG WHERE THE BEATLES BECOME THE SARGENT PEPPER BAND।ANOTHER NEW FEATURE WAS THE CONECTING MUSICAL SEGWAY BETWEEN "PEPPER" AND "A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS"।LATER ON "ABBEY ROAD" THE BEATLES WOULD RECORD A WHOLE SIDE
WHERE THE SONGS WERE CONNECTED-BUT IT WASN'T A CONCEPT ALBUM EITHER।BUT IT WAS AMAZING.
THE PERSON WHO TOOK PAULS IDEA OF BECOMING ANOTHER BAND FOR THE
WHOLE ALBUM WAS DAVID BOWIE ON HIS BREATHTAKING ALBUM "ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS".ON BOWIES ALBUM ALL THE SONGS ARE COMPLETELY CONNECTED AROUND THE BAND LEADER ZIGGY STARDUST AND HIS
CO-HORTS IN MAYHEM "THE SPIDERS FROM MARS"।BOWIE INGENOUSLY INTERWOAVE THE TRAGIC STORY OF THE DOOMED ROCK STAR WHO,IF ANTTHING,
HIS FANS LOVED TOO MUCH।
EVERY SONG IS A TOUR DE FORCE IN COMPOSITION AND PRODUCTION।ONE OF THE GREATIST ROCK ALBUMS OF ALL TIME.
AN EARLIER ALBUM BY THE MOODY BLUES,"DAYS OF FUTURE PAST" MAY BE THE THE FIRST ROCK CONCEPT ALBUM।IT FOLLOWS THE COARSE OF A DAY-DAWN,
THE MOURNING,{TUESDAY}AFTERNOON,PEAK HOUR AND EVENING.IT'S A STUNNING ACHIEVMENT THAT FOLLOWS A CONCEPT FROM START TO FINISH।
IT WAS RECORDED WITH "THE LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA" IN 1967,THE SAME
YEAR "PEPPER" CAME OUT।IT'S MOST LIKELY THAT THE MOODY BLUES MADE THE
FIRST ROCK CONCEPT ALBUM BUT ALL THESE ALBUMS HAVE SEVERAL THINGS IN COMMON।THEY ARE GROUNDBREAKING AND THEY ARE ALL AMONG THE GREATIST ROCK ALBUMS OF ALL-TIME।

CHRIS MATHERS OF MSNBC'S "HARDBALL" USED AN INTERESTING WORD TODAY:ASSIDOUSLY.HE WAS REFERING A GUEST COLUMNISTS WRITINGS PROCLAIMING THAT HE WAS THE BEST COLUMNIST IN AMERICA AND THAT HE READ HIS WRITINGS "ASSIDOUSLY".SO I LOOKED IT UP IN WEBSTERS DICTIONARY
ONLINE।
ASSIDOUSLY-from Latin-assiduus-1622।

PROBABILITY-DOUBLE COMPLEXITY

FOR A HUNDRED THOUSAND YEARS OR SO HUMAN BRAINS WERE CONDITIONED TO BE MOSTLY AWARE OF DANGER AND SEEKING FOOD AND SHELTER।TODAY OUR BRAINS FUNCTION PRETTY MUCH IN THE SAME .WHEN
PROBLEMS OF MULTIPLE COMPLEXITIES ARISE WE WITHOUT EXCEPTION FAIL
TO SEE THE EFFECT OF ONE COMPLEXITY ON THE OTHER-EVEN EXPERTS IN
EVERY FIELD-FROM STOCKBROKERS TO SCIENTISTS-FAIL CONSISTANTLY WHEN
PRESENTED WITH PROBLEMS THAT INCLUDE MULTIPLE COMPLEXITIES.THE
AWARENESS OF HOW TO FIGURE OUT THE EFFECTS OF THESE DOUBLED
COMPLEXITIES-EVEN TO SPOT THEM-JUST ISN'T IN OUR GENES OR OUR MINDS।
HERE IS A SIMPLE BUT GOOD EXAMPLE।THE AVERAGE LIFESPAN OF AN
AMERICAN IS 76.WE CALCULATE THAT AS THAT PERSON AGES THIER
ODDS OF DYING GO UP IN PROPORTION TO THE NUMBER OF YEARS THEY
HAVE LIVED. BUT SCIENTIFICALLY THIS IS NOT TRUE.AS A PERSON AGES
THIER CHANCES OF LIVING TO AN EVEN OLDER AGE GO UP ! THE PEOPLE
WHO HAVE DIED AT A YOUNGER AGE HAVE TAKEN THIER PLACE IN THE FORMER EQUATION SO THAT NOW WHEN BOTH FACTORS ARE FIGURED INTO
THE EQUATION THE OLDER PERSONS CHANCES OF LIVING TO AN EVEN
OLDER AGE INCREASE।
YOU CAN SEE NOW EVEN THOUGH I HAVE STATED THE FACTS IN A SIMPLE
MANNER;OUR MINDS,INCLUDING MINE,FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THIS SIMPLE
DOUBLE COMPLEXITY COMPUTATION।
BUT TELL IT TO AN OLDER PERSON AND THEY MAY BE MORE INCLINED TO
ACCEPT THE FACTS OWEING TO THE RESULTS BEING THAT THEY HAVE A BETTER
CHANCE AT LIVING AN EVEN LONGER LIFE.IN OTHER WORDS-THERE IS SOMETHING OF GREAT IMPORT IN IT FOR THEM-MORE LIFE।TIME REALLY IS ON THIER SIDE.

#3 "PEGGY SUE"-BUDDY HOLLY

"PEGGY SUE" MAY BE ONE OF THE MOST UNORTHADOX SONGS IN ROCK HISTORY TO GO #1।MOST ROCK SONGS IN THE 1950'S FOLLOWED A 12-BAR BLUES
PATTERN INCLUDING HOLLY'S "THAT'LL BE THE DAY"-NOT PEGGY SUE.THE DRUM
PATTERN IS VERY UNIQUE{IT WAS HOLLY'S IDEA}.TO AD TO THE DRUMS UNIQUE
SOUND.A MIKE WAS PALCED ON THE TOM-TOM AND RUN TO A SEPARATE ECHO
CHAMBR ROOM,PLAYED OVER A LOUD SPEAKER WHICH WAS SEPARATELY MIKED।
DURING THE SONG THE DRUM SOUND IS SWITCHED BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO MICS CREATING ONE OF ROCK'S FIRST GREAT SOUND EFFECTS।
IN THE MUSIC OF PEGGY SUE YOU CAN HEAR BUDDY'S TEX-MEX ROOTS
AND EVEN SOME FLAMINCO GUITAR INFLUENCE.IT'S A TESTAMENT TO BUDDY'S GENUIS THAT HE WAS ABLE TO TAKE SUCH DIFFERANT STYLES OF MUSIC
AND MESH THEM INTO A WHOLE NEW AND BEATIFUL CREATION-FULL OF
YOUTH AND EXCITMENT।THE LEAD THAT BUDDY TAKES IS ALSO ONE OF A
KIND.ALTHOUGH BUDDY WAS A VERY ACCOMPLISHED LEAD PLAYER HE
CHOOSE'S TO UNLEASE THE FULL BARAGE OF SOUND FROM HIS FENDER STATOCASTER BY PLAYING THE LEAD ALL IN CHORDS! THE SOUND IS HUGE!
IT BLASTS OUT OF THE MIX LIKE NOTHING THAT HAD EVER BEEN HEARD BEFORE।
IT IS STILL ONE OF ROCKS MOST MEMORABLE RIFF'S। P.HOLLY

THE GREATIST RECORDINGS OF ALL-TIME

#2-"A DAY IN THE LIFE"-THE BEATLES



THE LYRICS COME STRAIGHT FROM THE MORNING PAPERS HEADLINES-WRITTEN BY LENNON AND SUNG WITH A DETACHED EXISTENTIALISM THAT INTENSIFIES THE SADNESS OF THE SEEMINGLY TRIVIAL EVENTS DESCRIBED IN THE SONG।MAYBE MAKING THE GRADE ISN'T WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT AND KNOWING HOW MANY HOLES IT TAKES TO FILL THE ALBERT HALL IS JUST MEANINGLESS DATA WITH NO PRACTICAL OR USEFUL PURPOSE।WHY ARE OUR LIFES FILLED WITH ALL THIS INFORMATION THAT LEADS NOWHERE ? IT'S A GREAT QUESTION ! THE EMPATHY THAT JOHN SING IT WITH SENDS SHIVERS UP THE SPINE.

PAUL CHIMES IN WITH HIS PSUEDO MIDDLE 8-DESCRIBING HIS MOURNING।

WAKES UP,HAS A SMOKE,COMBS HIS HAIR,MAKES THE BUS IN SECONDS FLAT !

-THEN SOMEBODY?-SPEAKS AND GOES INTO A DREAM । .............

THE BRIDGE BETWEEN THAT PRODUCER GEORGE MARTIN CREATED WITH A FULL ORCHESTRA AND 10 PIANOS HITTING THE SAME CHORDS MARKS THE END OF THE

GREATIST POP SONG OF ALL TIME AND THE APEX OF THE BEATLES ENTIRE BODY

OF MUSICAL WORK। P। HOLLY 10/16/07

PHIL SPECTORS LEGACY LOOMS LARGE

RECORD PRODUCER PHIL SPECTOR WAS THE FIRST PERSON IN THE THE MODERN POP/ROCK ERA TO BECOME A MILLIONAIRE-BEFORE HE'D EVEN TURNRD 20।ONE OF SPECTORS MOST WELL KNOWN AND SUCCESSFUL PRODUCTIONS WAS "BE MY BABY " WHICH STARTS WITH A VERY DISTICTIVE DRUM BEAT AND MELODIC RYTHM. BEACH BOY BRIAN WILSON BECAME OBSESSED WITH SPECTORS PRODUCTION SOUND{IE."WALL OF SOUND"} AND ESPECIALLLY "BE MY BABY"-PHILLIES RECORDS-1963।
FINALLY WILSON FOUND AWAY TO EMPLOY THE SOUND AND DRUM PATTERN INTO HIS SONG "DONT WORRY BABY"।WHEN ACOUSTIC L.A. FOLKIES
RODGER MAGUINN AND DAVID CROSBY SAW THE BEATLE MOVIE "A HARD DAYS
NGHT" THEY DECIDED TO FORM A ROCK BAND;"THE BYRDS"।BOB DYLANS PUBLISHING REPRESENTATIVE SOLD THE BAND ON DYLAN'S SONG "MR. TAMBORINE
MAN"।MAGUINN TOOK THE SONG AND WITH HIS 12 STRING RICKENBACKER ELECTRIC GUITAR{HE'D SEEN GEORGE HARRISON PLAYING ONE IN THE MOVIE}
SET UP AN INTRO-ALONG THE LINES OF A REVAMPED BACH COMPOSITION BUT WITH THE BEAT AND RHYTHM FROM "DON'T WORRY BABY"।THE RESULT WAS
THAT THE BYRDS "MR। TAMBORINE MAN" BECAME A NUMBER ONE SINGLE IN1965।
-THE LIST-
PHIL SPECTOR
THE RONETTES
RONNIE SPECTOR
BRIAN WILSON
THE BEACH BOYS
BOB DYLAN

NOTE:"DON'T WORRY BABY" WAS THE B-SIDE TO "I GET AROUND" WHICH WENT
TO NUMBER #1 ON THE CHARTS FOR THE BEACH BOYS IN 1964.

EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY-AUSTIN CITY LIMITS

IT'S HARD TO FIND THINGS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN DONE IN THE FORM OF A
ROCK BAND AND THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN INSTRUMENTAL ROCK BANDS
BEFORE AND NOW;"EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY"-IF NOTHING ELSE HAS CERTAINLY
CARVED OUT THIER OWN LITTLE NICHE।IT'S QUITE A PLEASANT ONE TOO.
BUILDING ON THE SIMPLIST GUITAR NOTES AND CHORDS AND USING DYNAMICS
TO MAKE THIER STATEMENTS IS AN EFFECTIVE ROUTE FOR THIS
FOURSOME TO MAKE SOME BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS AND THOUGH IT SEEMS TO
TAKE PERHAPS A LITTLE TO MUCH TIME FOR THEM TO CHANGE THE COARSE
I THINK IN THE END THIER EXTENDED JOURNEYS INTO SPACED OUT BUT
IN THE GROOVE JAMLAND ARE OVERALL PRETTY ENJOYABLE।.THEY MAY NOT TOP
THE POP CHARTS BUT THEY MAKE GREAT MUSIC TO CHILL OUT TOO AND OCCASIONALLY THEY EVEN ROCK THE HOUSE। P।HOLLY 10/14/07

THE SOUTHERN IDAHO INDIANS

THE SOUTHERN PART OF IDAHO WHICH CONTAINS ABOUT 80% OF THE STATES LAND WAS ORIGINALLY INHABITED BY THE NORTHERN SHOSHONE INDIAN

TRIBE AND THE BANNOCK INDIAN TRIBE।BOTH TRIBES SPOKE LAUGUAGES THAT

BELONG TO THE UTO-AZTECAN GROUP OF INDIAN LAUGUAGES।THIS GROUP INCLUDES 30 OR MORE VARIANTS WHICH WERE SPOKEN FROM TRIBES AS FAR-

FLUNG AS OREGON AND IDAHO CLEAR DOWN TO NICARAGUA।HOPI IS ONE OF THE

LANGUAGES OF THIS GROUP AND IS STILL SPOKEN IN 5,000-6,000 HOPI FAMILY HOMES।

NAHUATL,WAS THE LARGEST LAUGUAGE OF THIS FAMILY AND WAS THE

LAUGUAGE SPOKEN BY THE AZTECS।OVER A MILLION PEOPLE STILL SPEAK THIS

LAUGUAGE AND FROM IT COME THE ENGLISH WORDS-TOMATO AND COYOTE.
