Goldmine/Letterman/Quad vs. WN
A few quick notes (while he's away):
1. The issue of Goldmine I referred to yesterday with the bitter Roger
interview was 7/8/94.
2. In discussing Letterman, did anyone notice Paul Schaeffer's Union
Jack vest? (I've always thought he was a Who fan; Who songs come up
often as bumps and then there was The Top Ten list of names for fat
substitutes and guess what Paul played?)
3. In Quad vs. Who's Next for Moon's drumming. No I'm not a drummer
(oh, don't start that again!), but I've always liked Moon's drumming
on Quad. However, finding the Quad CD a bit flat, I ran it through an
equalizer to boost the treble and viola! (of voila) Moon popped out
front and center! And what a performance! Throughout Moon maintains
the surf crashing motif while filling the songs with drumming that
seems to my ear witty and yet passionate. And that ending to "Love,
Reign O'er Me!" To me, Moon is the star of Quadrophenia. However,
I'd still say "I Can See For Miles" is his best single performance.
