But no, I love it when Dave runs down a list of a performer's work. <> "What is this, Vassar?" I loved it last night, and I'm loving it tonight. Well Jesus, he's dissing Snickers, then he praises M&Ms, then he disses M& Ms. I don't want to be the one to present the news that both Snickers and M& Ms are M&M/Mars company products. (Thank *you*, 6th grade project on candy and chocolate.) <> Jesus, where did they dig up that New York footage? I'd almost bet that was pre-WTC, but not really. <> An extremely short biography of Tyrone Power: He was born 5/5/1914, in Cincinnati, OH, and died 11/15/1958, of a heart attack, in Madrid, Spain. This has been an extremely short biography of Tyrone Power. (Source:imdb.com) <> I'd love to have seen a shot of Paul between the TTL Outro and the end of ACT 2 shot; he must've flown from the piano to the keyboard there. <> Well F-me ... I'll be *damned* if the cable company didn't decide to take tonight to do their little 15-second emergency interruption during Warren's first segment. <> Wow. I ain't afraid to admit it, nor am I ashamed to admit it: I shed a few tears at the end of "Mutineer". A beautiful song, and it was beautifully capped by Dave and Warren's subtle but loving exchange immediately after it. <> Go Paul on the bongos (it seems), during "Genius". <> "Genius" was superb, especially because of the strings ... the strings were wonderful. <> Interesting note that I saw from on the Zevon newsgroup, from chrisdoiron@cox.net, who was at the taping [Donz's posting of this post in its entirety also came up for me since I added this quote in this post]: "I don't know if it is normal procedure on the Late Show, or if Warren needed them, but the lyrics were on cue cards that were shown to him off camera. The cue card guy was actually on the other side of the piano during Mutineer and Roland and in front of him during Genius." <> Another post on alt.music.zevon mentioned "Seminole Bingo" being played somewhere during the show, possibly, but I don't know the song well enough to have heard/recognized it (if anyone else heard it, feel free to add some input). <> Nice that the band closed out on "Roland". It was the first time since the 5/1/02 show that such a substitution took place, and a most logical and appropriate decision. ========= THE QUOTES ========= <> "Millie will only be partially modern." <> "It could've been something; sadly, it was not." <> "Why should we do what he wants to do?" <> "Don't be fooled. Don't be fooled by cosmetics." <> "Dave's the best friend my music has ever had." <> He'll be our only guest tonight, and we couldn't be happier that he's with us. ========= THE CLOSER ========= <> Superb program; I was honestly much more touched by it than I'd anticipated. Definitely one of the top shows ever. That's about all I have to say on it, and that's all I need to say. Thanks again to Alan for the help. Until tomorrow, ************************************************************* Micah ("Enjoy every sandwich") (Rest in peace, Jam Master Jay - < http://www.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/Music/10/31/rapper.slain/index.html>) ... and 11/01 ...
