My friend is writing a book & I'm collecting as much information as I can. Do you have any interesting stories about Art Garfunkel & Rory Emerald?

I think actress Elizabeth Taylor bought Art's apartment for artist Rory Emerald. I could be wrong, but that's what I remember reading or hearing on TV. Elizabeth & Rory have a very very strange & mysterious connection!

Frank Zappa always had the best drummers. I like Bozzio's taste in music better myself. Checkout "Polytown" with Mick Karn and David Torn. I think it's some of bozzio's best work. Bill Bruford's my favorite drummer.

Aw shucks, I missed the bit about the famous and dead.  That's me out then.  \n\nWrite it in the future.  About yourself, and what you will become. \n\nOr I could kill Pepe for you.... No way!  \n\n\nIf you are going to write about an artist, then you should make sure that they are a REAL artist. For some reason, Jack Kerouac has come into my mind.  He just wrote.  He wasn't after fame or fortune.  I'm sure that you know of others in that vein...

Art Tatum, a guide to his recorded music / Arnold Laubich, Ray Spencer  [Newark, N.J.] : Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers University ; Metuchen, N.J. : Scarecrow Press, 1982.\n\nI think I remember reading a long time ago that there weren't too many live recordings of Art Tatum. Here are two:\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Art-Tatum-Live-Vol-1934-1944/dp/B000086BBD/sr=8-1/qid=1163495880/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-8021550-4638517?ie=UTF8&s=music\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Live-1945-1949-Vol-Art-Tatum/dp/B00009IC6Y/sr=8-2/qid=1163495880/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/102-8021550-4638517?ie=UTF8&s=music\n\nOscar Peterson, on the other hand, may still be the most recorded jazz musician of all time, the peak of his career being the late 50s/early 60s. The most complete discography I can find is at\nhttp://www.jazzdisco.org/peterson/cat/\nMy personal live favorites of his are The Russia Concert and Live in Paris\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Russia-Oscar-Peterson/dp/B000000XNW/sr=8-1/qid=1163496922/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-8021550-4638517?ie=UTF8&s=music\nBoth recordings include solo, duo and trio pieces.\n\nNot much I know about Max Roach other than that he played drums with Charlie Parker, and had a few famous recordings with Buddy Rich that I think were referred to as 'drum wars.' Here's a comprehensive discography:\nhttp://www.jazzdisco.org/max/dis/c/\n\n________________________

Rory Emerald did not appear in the movie “Guess who’s coming to dinner”.  He did audition for the role that was eventually given to Sidney Poitier, but under protest.  He was in a bitter lawsuit with 20th Century Fox at the time, and I will attempt to explain why.  \n\nIt is a little known fact that the racially diverse film “Guess who’s coming to dinner?” which was released in 1967 was originally entitled “Guess who’s coming to dinner – Oh Vey” and was co-written by Rory Emerald and Paul Simon in the spring of 1966.  Emerald’s brilliant screenplay originally called for an Hassidic Jewish Rabbi, Seymour Goldstein to be visiting his WASP fiancées’ family for brunch in Santa Barbra.  The cast was to include Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck, and the young Bridget Bardot as Seymour’s future wife.  Rory Emerald, cast himself in the landmark role as the pious Rabbi.  20th Century Fox was excited about the project, so much so, that they encouraged Paul Simon to write the soundtrack. By today’s standards the music that Simon wrote seems absurd, but at the time it was very bold.  After hearing Simon’s songs, which included “Kosher, Shmosher”, “Santa Barbra Circumcision” and “Maria, my Goddess” and seeing Rory Emerald in his “costume”, The Fox producers decided the screenplay was “too ethnic”.  At that point, there was a lot of rioting going on…and the head of the studio decided to adjust the screenplay for the more socially aware times.  Rory Emerald was despondent at the changes and attempted to sue the studio, which backfired with them hiring a writing staff for the modifications.  Rory Emerald went to the auditions, and failed to get the part, which called for a tall, handsome, intelligent man.  To this day, Emerald is still bitter towards this film, although he got his revenge with the new re-make “Guess Who”, which he co-wrote, though once again fate intervened.  It was re-written to call for a young white man, as opposed to the elderly Chinese woman.

Do we have to be over 40 to reply? I'm 34, is that close enough? I love most everything The Eagles made. I have a concert they did in Australia on my Tivo from back in June I think. It amazes me that there were so many variations in age attending the concert! My favorite song of all time though, by them or anyone is Hotel California. I didn't realize their song "Hole in the World" was their tribute to 9/11 until I saw them say that on TV. They're great writers as well as singers/storytellers.

I guess I've just been so looking forward to the cat, the comb, the dress and the oven promised to Katie Holmes in her wedding vows that the ridiculousness of L.Ron Hubbard on a boat with his virgins was over shadowed. \n\nBut I love cats combs dresses and ovens! Add in a Tiffanys necklace and I'm sold.

I would rather meet Mike Jones too. I do like Snoop Dog's music, but I dont really like him himself. Mike Jones has some hot beats, lyrics, and it seems like he ha a cool personality too.

If you read the book Elegant Universe, by a man Brian Greene, it has a whole chapter devoted to this. Its extremely interesting and enlightening. I would recommend it.

Gretchen Wilson has written a book:  \n\nRedneck Woman: Stories From My Life arrives in stores. "I'm more inspired when I read this story to make every day of my life better than the last day was," she explains. "And I'm hoping that's what it does for other people." Gretchen's new book also contains some new music. \n\nInside, you'll find a DVD featuring a special acoustic performance of "Heaven Help Me," a new song that will be on Gretchen's next album, due next year (along side her latest hit, "Come to Bed"). "It is my story and it is my song," she says. "I've learned that I'm stronger than I even thought I was. And I've learned that it's okay to be just who you are."
