      In Steve Katz' new autobiography, "Blood Sweat, and My Years in Rock Music",       he mentions that the Blues Project hired a black, chick singer, Emmaretta       Marx, for a tour after their lead singer split the band.              EM brought along her own 'roadie', a cute girl named Gail, on the tour.       Gail turned out to be so cute, that all the guys in the band fell in love with       her, without telling each other, or Gail herself.              This wound up causing problems with the band, and Gail, who soon afterwards       married FZ.              The Katz book makes a good companion piece to Al Kooper's autobio, "Backstage       passes & Backstabbing Bastards"(2008 edition), if you are interested in the       crazy shit that was going on in The Blues Project and BS&T.              Katz leaves no opportunity behind to tell us what a POS he thought AK was, and       what an even bigger, even gargantuan POS David Clayton Thomas was.              AK is actually pretty light on SK (except his guitar playing), but really       reams Bobby Colomby to no end.       He also reams a bunch of other people in the music biz, and we're talkin'       non-stop reamfest here- fun reading!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
