Was it the drugs I was taking?
Behind-the-scenes music legend, Andrew Loog Oldham (who blogs here, and tweets here), inducts Al Kooper into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame with a touching & sweet filmed speech. It's men like these, whose lives span a real golden age of music, that I listen to.

I remember you well...
Here's a pretty interesting doc, in 6 parts, from 1981 about the Chelsea Hotel. It features Nico, Quentin Crisp, Jobriath, Joe Bidewell, Viva, and Warhol, as well as some other just as fascinating folks.

Tom Waits And Photojournalist Create Hard Ground
With the book Hard Ground
, to be released March 2011, the haunting and impassioned poetry of Tom Waits’ accompanies striking images by award winning photojournalist Michael O’Brien (who shot the Glitter And Doom album cover) to create a portrait of homelessness that impels us to look into the eyes of people who live “on the hard ground” and recognize our common humanity. Combining their formidable talents, Waits and O’Brien have crafted a work which transcends documentary and presents independent, yet powerfully complementary views of the trials of homelessness and the resilience of people who survive on the streets.

This is Radio Strummer
I've grown a bit weary of the Clash recently, but when it comes to Joe Strummer's BBC broadcasts during his un-years [refer to the section entitled (1986–1999) The wilderness years here] its a whole different story. If you enjoyed any of Dylan's recent radio shows, or the soundtrack to the Strummer documentary The Future Is Unwritten
, you'll love this. Its full of surprises, even for been there, done that, heard it all before music fans. Check out over 15 broadcasts courtesy of the Radio Clash blog.
