Ram by Paul and Linda McCartney 1971

Stalked by fans

❝On one such off day, June 26, Paul, spotted Carolyn Mitchell, the 24-year-old who moved from Salt Lake City to London in March 1969, to be near Paul, and who regularly camped out in front of his house on Cavendish Avenue. She had spoken with Paul several times and appeared in several press articles about the girls who kept vigil at Paul’s London home.

“I came from America to be with Paul and, just my luck, I arrived the week before he got married,” she lamented to one reporter. “My feelings towards Paul are different from those towards a pop idol, really they are. They’re as real as they can get. I don’t often go out with boys. I just don’t like them. Nobody could replace Paul for me. Maybe I will have to be an old spinster, like some people have told me. I can’t help it. I just want a relationship with him that would mean I don’t have to stand by the gate. I’d like him to be a friend.”

Paul recognized Mitchell when he saw her, perched on a rock just over the property line, looking down at High Park. Hopping into the Land Rover, he drove over to her and gave her a piece of his mind—as well as, she claimed, a clout on the nose.

“For three years now,” Paul told the Daily Express, “I have been asking her politely—pleading with her—to leave me and my family alone. She refused to recognize that I am married with a family. When I saw her sitting, looking down on us, that was the end. This time I told her to go away, and not politely. I admit it. I was rude.

“All I did was chase her away. I never touched her. If she’s injured, she must have fallen on the way down the hill. I moved here for peace and quiet—not to have cranks and sightseers around. If I didn’t try to stop girls invading the privacy of my home here, I’d never get rid of them.”

Mitchell lodged a complaint with the Campbeltown police, who sent an officer to investigate. Her complaint was later dropped. In Campbeltown on their own, Hugh and Holly McCracken had their own glimpse of being stalked by fans, an experience that put Paul’s invitation in an uncomfortable perspective and reminded Hugh that apart from other concerns, he had to decide whether, after a decade of mostly studio work, he was comfortable being in the public eye to the degree he would be in a band with Paul.

“I had long, straight blond hair,” Holly said, “and Hugh had a beard, as Paul did at the time, and he looked a lot like Paul. So there were people following us around, and we figured they thought we were Paul and Linda. Hugh said it felt like someone had thrown cold water in his face, and he woke up to the reality that being in Paul McCartney’s band would be huge. And that gave him pause. He loved Paul, and he loved working with him, but he didn’t feel comfortable with that level of fame.”❞

Episode Description

Most people wouldn’t associate Kenny Loggins with jazz. Best known for his hit songs for movies like Footloose, Caddy Shack and Top Gun, Loggins and Messina and his foray into parent-targeted children’s music, Loggins’  earlier days as a recording artists included long instrumental and improvisational passages with L&M, a few prodigious albums produced by Bob James, projects that included guitarwork from Lee Ritenour, Tommy Tedesco, Steve Khan, Eric Gale, Robben Ford, Hugh McCracken, Dean Parks and Hiram Bullock and a string of albums that featured sax solos from Michael Brecker, David Sanborn and Mark Russo, percussion by Paulinho DaCosta and Ralph McDonald, drummers Steve Gadd and Harvey Mason, bassist Nathan East and vocals by Lani Hall and Patti Austin. Connecting the dots, all four founding members of Fourplay had played on Kenny Loggins albums decades before the band coalesced and Loggins was (no pun intended) an instrumental player in the Zeitgeist of what is now called smooth jazz; casting some of today’s most credible contemporary jazz musicians predating their own solo careers. Publisher Michael Fagien sat down with the iconic singer/songwriter to discuss Loggins’ life, love, work, family and his new book that tells it all on the latest episode of JAZZIZ NOT WHAT YOU THINK.

Several final records that weren't intended as such present a variety of unfulfilled promises within their very own aural journeys. For instance, we could learn what could've a hypothetical 80's career by John Lennon been like. Yes, Double Fantasy does point us towards the answer, yet I'm afraid few would be willing to accept that as a document of his possible professional phase. I mean, I doubt his 80's would've been better than the majority of his 60's peers, but the presence of some session musicians and, of course, Yoko Ono on his unintended finale got me to think of many possible collaborations. To give you an example – Tony Levin, he played the bass on Double Fantasy, could've introduced him to Peter Gabriel. Imagine him, Lennon and Ono working together during the 80's …

can you recommend any of your favourite books on northern irish history?

This isn't comprehensive for learning abt it and also be warned many of these are dense academic texts but in terms of my favourites

Mary Ann McCracken: a Belfast Panorama by Mary McNeill

The 'Natural Leaders and Their World' by Jonathan Jeffrey Wright which covers similar ground to the above but not quite

Voices From the Grave by Ed Moloney (and Brendan Hughes and David Ervine)

The Narrow Ground by ATQ Stewart ⬅️ honestly anything by this historian, his research was groundbreaking in a lot of areas and he has a very unique writing style. A Deeper Silence is also very good but isn't focused on the north

Rituals and Riots: Sectarian Violence and Political Culture in Ulster by Sean Farrell

God Save Ulster! by Steve Bruce (I promise this book is less of a red flag than the title makes it sound. it's a sociological study of Paisleyism let me clear this up now)

Scripture Politics by Ian McBride I love you ye olde protestant infighting

It's a primary source you would probably only read if u were writing about the topic academically but god the Drennan-McTier letters... if u have ever wanted to learn about drama between dead people spanning nearly 50 years

THE ARCHIES

Is this even a question? anyways, more info below

More so a question between the latter two poll options.

In case you don't know the origin of The Archies I'll let my enemy Don Kirshner explain:

TLDW: "To avoid a repeat of the Monkees fiasco while still allowing himself full control, Kirshner commissioned a band based on cartoon characters—if the session musicians tried to rebel or leave, they could be replaced seamlessly"

According to wikipedia, the rotating list of personnel who provided the vocals for the Archies were:

Ron Dante

Toni Wine

Jeff Barry

Donna Marie

Merle Miller

Bob Levine

Bobby Bloom

Chuck Rainey

Gary Chester

Dave Appell

Joey Macho

Ron Frangipane

Andy Kim

Sal DiTroia
