The Friday Flash
Got this cartoon from Clark Besch …
Pretty much reiterates what I said the other day!
He called it “Now OR Then”!!! (lol)
Harvey Kubernik asked me for a quote the other day about the longevity of Classic Rock for a new project he’s working on … it really is quite amazing if you think about it.
Hi kk:
Do you have a quote for an essay I will be doing addressing the subject of classic rock and its durability and ongoing popularity? This month the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and The Doors all have new retail products/box sets. WHY does classic rock matter? Any theories? Would welcome a comment from your perch at your website.
Thanks.
HK
This is what I sent:
Classic Rock is part of our DNA ... and not only have we passed it down thru each subsequent generation by playing this music at home and watching our kids (and grand kids!) fall in love with it ... but we have also been able to sit back and watch each new generation discover it for themselves and embrace it and fall in love with it just as we did when it was all brand new.
Simply put: This music is truly timeless.
And whether it be used in commercials, advertising or movie and television soundtracks, it is everywhere you turn these days because it evokes a good feeling.
Who could have ever predicted 50-60 years ago that this music would last ... and that these artists would still be out on the road performing to sold out crowds all over the world. It's 2023, and in the last few months we've seen brand new releases and sold out tours from artists like The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Doors, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, The Eagles, Billy Joel, The Band and more dominate the headlines.
This music will be here forever ... and the fact many of these artists are adding NEW music to their catalog that holds up as well as the old stuff is a true testament to just how powerful this music is.
I don't care if you call it Classic Rock or Fossil Rock ...
This music is here to stay.

About a week ago we told you about The Rolling Stones setting the new record for Most Top Ten Albums on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums Chart (with 38) …
Now, The Grateful Dead have tied the record for Most Top 40 Albums on this same chart with their new release, “Dave’s Picks, Volume 48.” (Who would have EVER though that this would be the case?!?!)
Premiering at #33 on the new Billboard Albums Chart, this puts The Dead in a first place tie with Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra for the most Top 40 LPs ever with 58. (Yeah, those three names ALWAYS seem to be linked together, don’t they???) kk

Kent,
If I may interject a little bit of political humor in FH.
On Jesse Watters’ Prime Time television show Wednesday night, they did an interview with the man on the street by showing them pictures of the people running for President of the United States on the Republican ticket, asking the people interviewed if they could identify the picture that was shown to them.
One man was shown a picture of Republican hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy. The man being interviewed was given a hint that the picture he was looking at had a last name beginning Rama. The man finished up by saying LAMA DING DONG.
The Edsels would have been proud.

From Al ...
I am so pleased when my songs are recorded, I would never criticize ANYONE.
Either I like it or I don’t understand it.
It is VERY well done.
@l k%per
The Eagles have added seven more dates to their ever-expanding "Long Goodbye" tour.
New on the list are:
January 16th – Palm Springs, CA –
Acrisure Arena
February 6th – St. Louis, MO – Enterprise Center
February 10th – Omaha, NE – CHI Health Center
February 13th – Tulsa, OK – BOK Center
February 17th – New Orleans, LA – Smoothie King Center
March 4th – Orlando, FL – Amway Center
March 16th – Charlotte, NC – Spectrum Center
Plenty more to come! (kk)
And, speaking of adding dates, Heart has added a THIRD date to their little get-together series ... but they're still not calling it a "tour." (That being said, one can only hope that more dates will continue to be announced ... and they'll eventually head back to the Midwest!)
Ann and Nancy Wilson will regroup once more for a show in Highland, California on December 27th at The Yaamava' Theater. (kk)
I thought this was a pretty interesting story ...
After all these years (and on the eve of the album's 50th anniversary) the man pictured on the cover of Led Zeppelin's fourth studio album has finally been identified!
For many of us, this is our favorite Led Zeppelin LP (although I'd have to rank Led Zeppelin II as a close second.)
Still, incredible to think that it has taken this long to put a name to the face!
https://bestclassicbands.com/led-zeppelin-iv-release-date-11-8-21/
And how about this ...
Boy George will be appearing on Broadway next year in the musical "Moulin Rouge!" His stint will begin on February 6th and run thru May 12th at The Al Hirschfeld Theatre. (kk)

They're Heeeere!
The brand new Record Research "Top Pop Records, 1990 - 2022" books arrived from the printer yesterday ...
And orders are being prepped and shipped as you read this!
"Top Pop Records, 1990 - 2022" is the perfect companion piece to Joel Whitburn's "Top Pop Records, 1955 - 1989" book published last year ... and, it, too, is now printed in full color!
Here's a picture of Paul Haney holding the first copy going out the door ...
I'm told this book had the largest pre-order sales of any book in Record Research history ...
So if you don't already have a copy en route to you via a pre-order, pop on over to the website and complete your collection today!
https://www.recordresearch.com/
Paul Haney tells us ...
Hi Kent,
Good
news!
Our printer just shipped the long-awaited Top Pop Singles
1990-2022 book, and it should be arriving at our offices later today
(11/7). We are hiring extra help to get the orders out as quickly as
possible.
The book is in full color, and I think it turned out great!
Joel's daughter Kim (now President of Record Research) wrote a moving
dedication to her dad, and I think he would've loved this book, the last
project he ever worked on.
The past year and a half have been a bit
surreal, with both Joel and Fran passing, but we intend to honor Joel's
wishes that his company keeps moving forward.
We have a couple of book
projects in store for 2024, which will mark our 54th year in business.
We truly appreciate the support from all of our wonderful customers over
the years and hope that they keep buying our books!
Paul Haney
Record Research
And don't forget ...
November 29th marks our 2nd Annual Joel Whitburn Day here in Forgotten Hits!
Please share a special memory or story about the impact Joel's books have had on your life. (All I know is that during those past 54 years that Paul Haney just mentioned, there hasn't been a SINGLE day where I didn't consult one of his books for SOMETHING!!!)
The celebration will run three weeks from today on November 29th ...
So get your stories in to us now.
And remember ...
Every contributor is automatically eligible to win a copy of the Record Research book of their choice.
We'll announce the winner right around the first of December ...
So email me NOW while it's fresh in your mind!!! (kk)

Tuesday This And That
>>>And somehow I guess I missed the memo about Dolly Parton NOT being inducted. (Artists refuse to show up for the ceremony all the time … every year there seems to be at least one or two who can’t make it or can’t perform … but in this case, I guess The Rock Hall honored and respected Dolly’s wishes not to be included … which makes absolutely NO sense to me since her first rock album is coming out in two weeks with an all-star cast of rock artists helping out. I would have thought Dolly closing the show with special live guest appearances by some of these acts would have put this show over the top. We didn’t even get the annual all-star jam session at the end!) kk
Hi Kent,
Sorry, but I had to chuckle a bit when I saw you mention that Dolly Parton wasn't included in this year's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies. That's because she was inducted last year (2022) and performed a great rendition of her classic song "Jolene." Senior moment perhaps (LOL!)?
Paul Haney
LAST Year?!?!? Well, that WOULD explain it, wouldn't it?!?!
Senior moment??? No ... more like just plain dumb! (kk)
>>>I couldn't hum you one line of a Milli Vanilli song if there was a million bucks on the line - kk
That's OK. Neither could they.

Best comment ever! (kk)
And, in other news …
I guess G.H. Harding in Times Square Chronicles might have been right about more Beatles music:
https://deadline.com/2023/11/peter-jackson-more-beatles-music-conceivable-now-and-then-1235593599/
DIS
BEATLES NOW & THEN — Thursday the final Beatles track was dropped, “Now And Then.” Everyone and their mother seem to have an opinion on this track, but let’s set the record straight first before I offer mine.
The song was written in 1978 and has been in the Beatles queue for some 45 years. It was originally worked on by McCartney, Harrison, Starr and Jeff Lynne, where it was deemed not suitable for release. Those sessions did produce “Free As A Bird” and “Real Love,” which I instantly loved.
Harrison passed and McCartney and Starr enlisted the assistance of director Peter Jackson, who had worked on the massively re-worked Get Back film. With the assistance of Jackson’s MAL technology, they were able to extract Lennon’s voice and build the production around it.
It’s a great
song, but the “new” production, especially the last half, I think is buried in
strings and some over-production. I know the lads wanted to get it right, but
Lennon’s somber, plaintive song somehow gets lost I feel. The song definitely
has echoes of the first solo-Lennon solo album, which I still adore all these
decades later.
And, as I said previously, I love Ed Ruscha, but his artwork is not
particularly significant here.
It’s interesting that they’re promoting this as the last Beatles record. Call me snarky, but I think there’s more. Face it, there’ll never be another Beatles. They were it for me and no one else has come close.
As Ron Sheffield said in Rolling Stone: “As Sean Ono Lennon says, ‘It’s the last song that my dad and Paul and George and Ringo will get to make together.’ But the whole point is that there is no end to the Beatles story, any more than there’s any end to their music. The power of ‘Now and Then’ shows exactly why the Beatles have never belonged to the past — and why this music sounds so defiantly, passionately, unmistakably alive today.”
G.H. Harding
I’m not sure I want to hear more “new” Beatles music …
Everything left in the can was left there for a reason … whether it be unfinished or not up to their usual standards. The fact that John himself never released “Now And Then” tells me that even he didn’t think it was good enough to finish. When The Threetles first met to add their bits to John’s tracks for The Beatles Anthology series, George Harrison referred to “Now And Then” as pure rubbish and vetoed its release.
The band does not need to diminish their legacy by putting their names on tracks that are only “so so” at best. The standard that they set by NOT releasing outtakes and alternate takes while they were together, ensuring that the public only heard the very best of the best, is part of what set them apart from other artists. I hate to see this happen now … and I’m a fan who at one time wanted the opportunity to devour EVERYTHING!!!
That being said, yes, it is remarkable what Peter Jackson has been able to do in the way of restoring and isolating these old tracks … and an album of “Get Back” / “Let It Be” outtakes is EXACTLY what I was expecting and hoping for when the VERY disappointing “Let It Be” box set was released a couple of years ago …
There was SO much music left “on the cutting room floor” during
these sessions that fans would have loved to (and deserved to) hear. Why not go back and give THAT set a proper update ... Get Back / Let It Be Box II ... along with the release of the original film.
To now go in and try to resurrect some of these track and add 2023 Paul and Ringo to them just doesn’t make sense to me. And how much can they really add? They don't sound like 1969 Paul and Ringo anymore. In Paul’s own words, “let it be.”
Meanwhile, the fans ARE coming out in droves to hear this new track ... “Now And Then” registered over 25 million YouTube views during its first 48 hours of availability. More my money, THIS is the only way to listen to this song … the video is so beautifully and lovingly done that you can forgive the weakness of the song itself. The love for The Beatles has not diminished. (kk)
Kent,
I agree with other people that the last Beatles' song, Now & Then, would've only been an LP cut on a John Lennon album.
I like to think The Long & Winding Road is a fitting 'last' Beatles song. It is a song I played over and over again prior to my high school graduation, as I contemplated that the friends I developed over the last four years, I would rarely ever see again. That Paul McCartney song helped me understand that life would be a long and winding road, with many interesting twists and turns (some that I would look back on fondly and others I would like to forget.) In my mind, music can be a nice back drop to our lives, helping us as we struggle through this thing we call 'life.'
Thanks for helping us keep the music and memories alive.

Based on the email I just got from Tom Cuddy, it looks like we can look forward to both a new Karen Carpenter biography AND a Karen Carpenter documentary!
(And Carnie Wilson is involved in the new doc)

Nearly half of all of the albums sold last week were copies of Taylor Swift’s “1989” (Taylor’s Version) Swift accounted for just under 44% of all album sales, allowing it to debut at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums Chart. (I swear, she just keeps getting hotter and hotter!) kk
Micky Dolenz in Athens, GA ... November 3rd ... for the R.E.M. Tribute CD Launch Party ...
The Athens adventure began Thursday night at R.E.M.’s manager Bertis Downs' house.
Michael Stipe, who flew in from Amsterdam for the event, was joined by fellow band members Peter Buck (with daughters Zoe and Zelda) and Bill Berry. Mike Mills, the last member, was performing in LA but sent his partner Jasmine to attend. 7a’s Glenn Gretlund, who flew in from the U.K., was also present.
Mutal respect flowed in the air as all three R.E.M.’s promised to attend Wuxtry the next day.
The question was posited by Dylan Ritzen to the R.E.M. troup: Why are you Monkees fans?
“When the Monkees debuted, the Beatles were in the phase of more complicated music transitioning away from pop music. The guys watched the show and loved the bubble gum fun sound. The songs The Monkees have are some of the best and also complicated like that of Pleasant Valley Sunday.”
Bill Berry said “Goin Down” is one of the best songs of all time.
Friday at Wuxtry ...
There were at least 500-600 fans there. They started lining up at 10:00 AM for the 3:00 PM event.
Peter Buck and his twin daughters arrived around 12:00 PM and walked around and took photos with fans and signed things. He performed with the Funkees on the roof of Wuxtry.
Around 2:00 PM, Bill Berry and Peter Buck were in the record store talking to Henry Diltz while Michael Stipe arrived around 2:30 PM, all graciously signing for a few fans.
Micky arrived with Athens Mayor Kelly Girtz. Girtz presented the key to the city to Micky.
Michael Stipe was describing Micky as a funny sweet man who has a beautiful, angelic voice. Bill Berry thought his “Shiny Happy People” was better than R.E.M.’s version and said he really hoped this EP brings him great success.
A good time was had by all.
