From: "kirk white" Subject: Different Drum Thought we would share this info with you from the UK: In a review in the Source magazine of the new single by PP Arnold (she had a big hit in the sixties with The First Cut Is The Deepest), it said: "Different Drum, PP Arnold: The best single of the year so far. PP Arnold has done wonderful things to this old Leomonheads song. It seems churlish to moan, but the producer, Ocean Colour Scene's Steve Craddock, seems to cut PP off in her prime. Me I'm a sucker for a long fade out." Although they never mentioned Nez or Linda Ronstandt this version is very good. Well worth a listen.

Today considered the premier electric guitarist in the history of rock, Hendrix was struggling for publicity in '67 when manager Chas Chandler finagled the high profile Hendrix gig: opening for the manufactured-for-TV Monkees. The Jacksonville concert at the Coliseum was the kick-off show for the odd pairing. As might be expected, Hendrix's outrageous and blatantly sexual showmanship didn't mix particularly well with the Monkees' teenybopper following. The Jimi Hendrix Experience was dropped after only eight gigs. Chandler protested loudly that complaints from the ultra-right wing Daughters of the American Revolution led to ouster. Sources close to the band, however, later claimed Chandler, a former member of the British band the Animals, knew perfectly well the outrage the pairing would create and that he carefully planned the event as a publicity stunt. In any event, Jacksonville fans (this reporter, then an eighth-grader, among them) were part of a very few to experience a stranger-than-fiction musical bill pairing the Monkees' chirpy Daydream Believer alongside Hendrix' nihilistic Manic Depression.

While looking through the list, I saw number 178 "You always say you like my style, you say I'm tough but kind of wild". Of course, I got THAT one right away!

This came from AOL news, part mentions Mike and his mother. Panel: We Are All Stuck With Each Other' Council on Ideas Calls for New Global Institutions SANTA FE, N.M., July 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Citing a global information and communications revolution that has "erased distance," the 1998 Council on ideas stressed the need for building new international institutions to meet the post-Cold War era head on, as today's most important issue. Council members Jane Alexander, Emmy Award-winning actress and producer, best selling author Stephen Jay Gould, foreign policy expert Jessica Tuchman Mathews, highly acclaimed journalist Robert D. Kaplan and University of Mexico physicist Ana Maria Cetto, were appointed to a one-year term to the 1998 Council on Ideas by the trustees of the Gihon Foundation from a list compiled the previous year of more than 70 nominees. Gihon Foundation chairman, Michael Nesmith, well-known musician and businessman, often compares the Council on Ideas to a "gathering of the elders," that meets to determine the most overriding issue of our time. "We spoke different languages, and I'm not referring to English and Spanish but rather the languages of science and art and policy," said Mathews, President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. She added that panel members were able to find common ground on major areas, an opinion reflected by the Mexico born and raised scientist Cetto who said, "We worked to build a common means of communication to establish an effective dialogue." Gould, professor of zoology and geology at Harvard, stressed the words of the Hippocratic Oath, included in the group's position statement, calling it "the first law of Wisdom," "Primum non nocere - Above all, do no harm." Focusing much of their time on the need for international institutions to be more innovative and responsive in this time of extraordinarily rapid change, Kaplan, author of the highly-acclaimed Balkan Ghosts stated that an international society is already emerging. Added former NEA Director, Alexander, "It's not a failure of imagination that haunts all our institutions, it's how imagination will bubble up and respond to what's happening in the world." The Complete text of the 1998 Council on Ideas Position Statement is printed below. It may be read at the Gihon Foundation Website www.gihon.com along with texts from previous Council on Ideas Position Statements. Additional Background The Gihon Foundation was established in 1978 by Bette C. Graham, the inventor of Liquid Paper correction fluid. Ms. Graham's son, Michael Nesmith, has nurtured the foundation's growth since her death in 1980. The Gihon Foundation is named for the Gihon River mentioned in the Old Testament (Genesis 2:10-14). The germination of inspired, productive ideas has been the purpose of the Gihon Foundation since its inception. The 1998 Council on Ideas Position Statement: We are living in a time of change unprecedented in both extent and rapidity on a planet now so filled by our presence that little further space exists to accommodate serious mistakes. The scale of economic activity, the number of people, environmental degradation, and the power of weaponry raise both the likelihood of conflict and the need for greater cooperation among peoples. The information and communications revolution erases distance. More than ever before, we are truly stuck with each other. Since the contingencies of history, the complexities of our world, and our own inevitable ignorances make the future impossible to predict in principle, we cannot offer profound advice or definite directions. But perhaps we can suggest some guidelines, based on goodwill and common moral sensibility, for a long and successful human persistence on a well-sustained earth. * Cultures will have varying values and moral visions, but with a proper respect for cultural diversity, a basic consensus is still reachable. * Given such technological power to kill and destroy, we should be especially wary of zealous claims to know ultimate truths that all people must accept, whatever the cost, The words of the Hippocratic Oath may be taken as a first commandment: Primum non nocere - Above all, do no harm. * The greater the pace of change, and the less the margin for error, the more important becomes the experience of history. * For the same reasons, education for all and the exercise of foresight based on improved understanding of present trends, grow in importance. As never before, governments and other institutions must be capable of nimble response. Yet, most of today's international institutions are a half- century old and drained of political will. At the same time, corporations and civil society are taking on broader policy roles, forcing national governments to rethink their own functions. The coming era demands a period of concerted social innovation and institution building -- this time encompassing all sectors -- comparable to that which followed the end of World War II.

Jones >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> From: Randi L Massingill Subject: Micky Dolenz on new CD Article found on tvguide.com- read on to find the Dolenz information Original Eddie Hopes Courtship Remake Sings His Song Former child star turned punk rocker Brandon Cruz wants a shot at composing the music for Nicolas Cage's planned big-screen version of The Courtship of Eddie's Father. "My band redid the theme song ["Best Friend"], and I would love to have that be the theme for the movie," says Cruz, 36, who starred with the late Bill Bixby in the TV version of Courtship from 1969 to 1972. Cruz is currently working days as an assistant editor for Comedy Central's South Park and spends his nights as lead singer for the Los Angeles-based band Twister Naked. His new CD, Eddie Is a Punk (TAANG! Records), features a punk version of Best Friend with the song's late composer, Harry Nilsson, on the keyboard. Also included on the disc is a punk version of "Best Friend" featuring ex-Monkee Micky Dolenz, and an obscure song about pollution that Cruz and Bixby recorded for a 1970 TV special called "Oh, Daddy... What If?" Cruz says he first learned of plans for the Courtship movie last week at a barbecue at Cage's home. It just so happens that Cruz's wife, actress Liz Cruz, is a childhood friend of Cage's wife, Patricia Arquette. "Nicolas likes to research his roles quite a bit, and he picked my brain a little bit about the kind of guy Bill was," says Cruz. "I'm sure I'll have many more conversations with him." While plans proceed with the movie, a reunion of the Courtship TV cast is not likely. Bixby died of prostate cancer in 1993; James Komack, who played best friend Norman Tinker, died four years later. Cruz says Miyoshi Umeki, who played live-in maid Mrs. Livingston, is retired and living in Hawaii. And Kristina Holland, who played Tina, is living in Berkeley, CA, and is no longer in showbiz. Bixby and Cruz remained friends after the series ended. Cruz named his 3-year-old son Lincoln Bixby after the star and they had often kicked around the idea of a reunion. "We always talked about it," says Cruz. "The timing just wasn't there. He was very busy. He worked constantly. Unfortunately, it never happened." Rich Brown Randi L.

And Some People, Too. By Richard Harrington Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, July 25, 1998; Page D01 Bobby Sherman, who once set young hearts racing, now checks older hearts to see if they're racing too much. The teen idol from the late '60s and early '70s is making his first concert tour in 25 years as part of the "Teen Idols" show coming to Nissan Pavilion tonight. Since the early '80s, however, he's been an emergency medical technician in Los Angeles and, since 1992, Officer Sherman, the L.A. Police Department's senior emergency training officer. As plain old Bobby Sherman, he probably still causes occasional palpitations among old fans who wake up in an ambulance to Sherman's still-squeaky-clean countenance. Sherman, who recently turned 55, says his "comeback" is simply a matter of timing. "K-Tel reissued all my albums on CD, I did my autobiography, 'Still Remembering You," in 1996 and after the resurgence of the '50s and '60s, it just seemed it was time for the '70s." The revival of "Grease" and the glut of disco-themed movies, the popularity of vintage sitcom and variety shows on cable, and the continued concert appeal of classic rock and soul acts from that period certainly underscores that notion. Still, Sherman says he had no dreams of a revitalized pop career until the producers of the "Teen Idols" tour invited him aboard with former Monkee Davy Jones and Peter Noone, titular leader of Herman's Hermits. Even stepping back into the spotlight after so long wasn't the nightmare he anticipated. "It's like riding a bike," Sherman says. "You don't need training wheels again. You kind of remember how to do it." The onetime high school football star never thought of doing it at all until the mid-'60s, when he was discovered at a Hollywood party by the troika of Natalie Wood, Jane Fonda and Sal Mineo. They asked young Robert Cabot Sherman Jr. to sing, and Fonda introduced him to talent agent Jack Good, creator of ABC's rock-and-roll show "Shindig." Sherman soon became a regular on that show, where his winsome smile and fashionable shaggy mop top made him a favorite of the bubble gum set. Sherman moved up to true teen idol status in 1968, when he appeared in "Here Come the Brides," a comedy-adventure set in boom town Seattle in the 1870s. He starred as young logger Jeremy Bolt, so often at loggerheads with brother Joshua Bolt (David Soul). That television exposure soon produced results on the music front: Between 1969 and 1971, Sherman had seven Top 40 hits, including "Little Woman," "La La La (If I Had You)," "Easy Come, Easy Go" and "Julie, Do Ya Love Me." Concurrently, Sherman's smiling visage peered out from lunch boxes, posters, fan magazines and assorted merchandise. "Here Come the Brides" ran for two seasons, followed by a starring role in a 1971 "Partridge Family" spinoff titled "Getting Together." This time Sherman was more accurately cast as a songwriter struggling to make it in the music business. Unfortunately, the sitcom was scheduled opposite "All in the Family," which explains why it lasted only half a season. By then, Sherman was ready for a break. "I'd film five days a week, get on a plane on a Friday night and go someplace for matinee and evening shows Saturday and Sunday, then get on a plane and go back to the studio to start filming again," he explains. "It was so hectic for three years that I didn't know what home was. "I was disoriented -- I never knew where I was, always had to be reminded," Sherman adds. "But, in all honesty, I must say I had the best of times because the concerts were great, the fans were great. It was the proverbial love-in, but it just zapped so much out of me." Without retiring, Sherman withdrew. He'd built a studio in his garage and over the years recorded scores for films and television shows; he would occasionally make guest appearances on series like "The Love Boat" and "Murder, She Wrote." Having delivered his two sons,Christopher and Tyler, Sherman was very involved in their upbringing. In fact, caring for the boys, now in their mid-twenties, is what brought him to emergency medicine. "As kids grow up, they fall down, scrape their knees, get bloody noses," Sherman explains. "My ex-wife was very squeamish when it came to blood, especially our kids' blood, so it was kind of up to me. I took a basic first aid-CPR class, just in case, and found I had a knack for it. Eventually, if I'd be driving down the street and there was an accident and there was no medical help on hand, I'd get out and, since I usually had some stuff with me, I'd help." With more training, Sherman graduated from EMT (emergency medical technician) to EMTD (adding skills in defibrillation) and then became an instructor for 10 years. When the Los Angeles Police Department heard about him, Sherman was invited to the force's training academy and in 1992 became a sworn police officer with LAPD, as well as its chief medical training officer. "It's a labor of love to be able to teach these officers how to patch people up," says Sherman. "There's not a better feeling in the world than knowing these people are out there, helping someone out, saving someone's life." Sherman has even brought life into the world, delivering five babies in the field. "It's tremendously rewarding, which is why I always say in concert that everyone should take the time to learn first aid and CPR, because it works." What's also working right now is the "Teen Idols" concept, both for the audience and for their suddenly busy idols. Sherman notes that he first met Noone while hosting him on "Shindig" and that they became reacquainted when Noone hosted him on VH1's early '90s series, "My Generation." And it was a guest appearance on "The Monkees" that landed Sherman his role in "Here Come the Brides." "We're all good friends and we're having a blast," says Sherman. "But the bottom line is the audience -- they're half the show, as far as I'm concerned. It's their response, their enthusiasm that makes it feel like it's 1970. It's absolutely incredible." It's not as if time has stood still -- no one in the '90s is as naive as that -- but certainly it's a way of conjuring up a more innocent era, right down to the teddy bears thrown onstage. "In a sense, audiences are doing exactly the things they did then," says Sherman. "Except now they're bringing their families, wives and mothers and husbands and kids, so we're appealing to the entire family unit. And in the wholesomeness of the show, they relive the past. They sing along and it's amazing -- they remember the lyrics better than I do, sometimes. It's wonderful. Everybody, including myself, gets transported back to a much more happier time." © Copyright 1998 The Washington Post Company Randi L.

The guests studied an exhibit of photographs from the personal collection of artist Edward Ruscha, then dined on couscous in a large tent decorated Bedouin-style with carpets. Those who cared to were welcome to take a dip in the pool. Just a few hours earlier, the group, the 1998 Council on Ideas, had put the finishing touches on a position statement responding to the standing question, "What is the most important issue of our time?" By all accounts, the council members didn't have an easy go of it. And presiding over it all with an enigmatic smile was Michael Nesmith, philanthropist, filmmaker, novelist and, yes, former Monkee. The Council on Ideas was launched in 1990 by the Gihon Foundation, established 20 years ago by Mr. Nesmith's late mother, Liquid Paper inventor Bette Graham of Dallas. Every two years, the council gathers three to five "thought leaders," as Mr. Nesmith likes to call them, for a long weekend to ponder the most pressing issue of the day. This year's council members were actress Jane Alexander, who chaired the National Endowment for the Arts; Mexican theoretical physicist Ana Maria Cetto; Harvard paleontologist Steven Jay Gould; Robert D. Kaplan, contributing editor for The Atlantic Monthly; and Jessica Tuchman Mathews, president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. "It was a difficult experience," said Ms. Mathews, as she sat with a slightly dazed expression at the table strewn with legal pads, pencils and pens where the council members had debated. "It was difficult by virtue of the assignment and by virtue of the totally different lenses most of us have to look at the world." A few minutes earlier, Ms. Mathews had read the council's brief statement to a group of journalists and alumni of past councils, beginning with a sobering observation: "We are living in a time of change unprecedented in both extent and rapidity on a planet now so filled by our presence that little further space exists to accommodate serious mistakes." Population growth, environmental degradation and powerful weapons raise the chances for conflict, even as the information and communications revolution brings people closer, the members noted. "More than ever before," the statement said, "we are truly stuck with each other." The panel suggested guidelines, including the need for a basic consensus among different cultures, a healthy wariness of claims to absolute truth, a clear understanding of history's lessons and the exercise of foresight based on better understanding of present trends. Finally, the council called for new institutions bridging governments, civil society and transnational corporations. "The coming era demands a period of concerted social innovation and institution building - this time encompassing all sectors - comparable to that which followed the end of World War II." In a question-and-answer period that followed, Ms. Mathews explained, "The central idea is, this is a time of extraordinarily rapid change, and we tried to identify those things that societies need in a time of rapid change, and there isn't a lot of room for error." If the statement seemed long on platitudes and short on specifics, it was about par for the course. The 1996 council proposed that the solutions to the world's problems "begin with the lifelong human capacity to enjoy and share the process of learning." And the 1992 council insisted, rather mysteriously, on the need to "reinvent and celebrate the sacred" through the development of "a transnational myth structure." But if the statements aren't exactly earth-shattering, the process itself seems to intrigue the intellectuals who are selected during a rigorous screening process. Invited to hear this year's council give its statement were participants in earlier councils, including political columnist Georgie Anne Geyer, Dallas commentator Lee Cullum, theoretical biologist Stuart Kauffman, USA Today columnist Walter Shapiro, former NBC News chief Lawrence Grossman, artist Todd Siler and N. Scott Momaday, the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer. Also on hand was Murray Gell-Mann, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist who first theorized quarks as the basis of subatomic structure. Ms. Mathews, whose expertise is in global environmental and nuclear proliferation issues, was still processing the experience. When she had first learned of her appointment to the council, "I was bemused by it," she said. "The description seemed so impossible. It was nice to be elected as a thinker, but I didn't imagine what would come next." The panel members were left to their own devices, it turned out. "As you sit down with four strangers, that first step is like, 'Arrrgh! What do we do now?' " Ms. Mathews said. The "language gap" between professionals of widely varying backgrounds made it especially difficult to word the statement, she said. Mr. Kaplan, who has written extensively on foreign affairs, acknowledged the challenge posed by the group's diversity, but he said they reached an accommodation. "We really all came from different backgrounds, different beliefs," he said. "I think we reached a real medium level of disagreement where we were able to hash some things out." He acknowledged that out of a collective sense of humility, the statement was intended to be "minimalist" and that it perhaps lacked some punch. "It's a law of writing that a solitary person writing alone will come up with a more powerful piece of writing than a committee," he said. Mr. Kaplan also said he was delighted to discover that Mr. Gould - whose theory that evolution proceeds in fits and starts rather than in a smooth, linear way has ignited a debate in the world of biology - is a font of baseball arcana. "There's nothing he doesn't know," Mr. Kaplan said admiringly. In her four years chairing the NEA, Ms. Alexander found herself in the eye of a political storm revolving around the agency's funding of art deemed by some to be indecent. Representing the arts to a group of nonartists comes easily to her, she says. "I'm glad someone was there," she said. "We don't approach things the same way." Ms. Alexander agreed with the others that there was some difficulty in breaching the boundaries of different disciplines, but she said: "It was Steve Gould who reminded us there was more common ground in being human." For Mr. Nesmith, the prospect of giving some world-league thinkers a devilish problem-solving exercise is exciting. "There's a part of the process that we call 'the watch,' " he said while sitting on a patio and sipping ice water. "One of us sits outside the door within earshot and listens in. Being able to hear the process as it goes on is always edifying, and it was particularly good this year." Mr. Nesmith's hair has gone silver, and he has put on a few pounds since his days on the popular 1960s TV show The Monkees. Now 54, he's followed multiple paths in recent years, managing a solo recording career, producing films and music videos and recently completing a novel to be released in November by St. Martin's Press. The Gihon Foundation originally was a grant-making entity, funding the American Film Institute's directing program for women, said Mr. Nesmith, the foundation's chairman. In 1989, he decided to shift the orientation. He believes the Council on Ideas still preserves his mother's ethic of "entrepreneurial philanthropy" - a sense of investing in ideas that yield a public good. Mr. Nesmith readily admits he has no way of knowing for sure what the council's work will accomplish, although he will send copies of this year's statement to the heads of the various branches of the federal government, the nation's governors, the heads of Fortune 500 companies and the winners of the Nobel, Pulitzer and Pritzker prizes. "The only measurable input comes from the council members themselves, who tell me it means a great deal to them," he said. "They form alliances here across disciplines that are difficult to establish." He takes another sip of his ice water. "I certainly have a feeling that this thing is evolving, and it's going to respond to nourishment and care." Michael Haederle is an Albuquerque, N.M., free-lance writer. Randi L.
