Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation, here are Roy Orbison & Bob Dylan, and their and his colleagues, performing Oh, Pretty Woman (5:55).
Your Reader Tips are, as always, welcome in the comments.
Update: apparently my original attribution was incorrect,
the correct details are being worked out in the comments.
Nota Bene: reader Cosmos asks in the comments whether Reader Tips comments should be considered restricted to the SDA LNR show. The short answer is: no, just the opposite. The LNR show is just a seed Reader Tip.
According to Thomas North, below, tonight’s SDA LNR Show is from A Black and White Night, 1988, with Roy Orbison, Bruce Springsteen, T-Bone Burnett, James Burton, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Steven Soles, k.d. lang, Jennifer Warnes, and Bonnie Raitt. Sorry for any confusion my misatribution may have caused.
Bob must have left the building, Vitruvius. He’s not on stage that I can see.

When you ask for comments, do you mean about other things on the blogs, or just the videos? I spend too much time reading blogs…Your’s is one of the few that can create a needed belly laugh…
I got this interesting information from the jihad watch…another bizarre boycott…
The goal of the boycott, you see, is a “universal law” forbidding “defamation of religions” — which in practice will mean forbidding honest discussion of the jihad and Islamic supremacism.
“Boycott campaign moves ahead, issues new poster,” by Linda Hindi for Jordan Times, June 20 (thanks to Diana West):
AMMAN – The multilateral Danish-Dutch boycott campaign is moving ahead with the addition of a major brand, the removal of others and an ongoing lawsuit, while Jordanian importers still suffer losses.
Launched in late February to protest against the republication of disturbing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad, “The Messenger of Allah Unites Us” campaign was relaunched in mid-June to add products from the Netherlands after Dutch MP Geert Wilders posted an anti-Islam film on the Internet.
The ultimate goal, according to campaign spokesperson Zakaria Sheikh, is to enact a universal law that prohibits the defamation of any prophet or religion, similar to the international legislation banning anti-Semitism.
Sheikh told The Jordan Times that the boycott will assist them in providing proof of the harm of “hateful messages” when advocating for the law….
I don’t think Bob was in this date, however, Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello was, and Canadian k. d. lang, the angel with a lariat, is on backing vocals (you can tell I have a bit of a thing for her…)
This is from “A Black and White Night” back in 1988 – with Bruce Springsteen, T-Bone Burnett, James Burton, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Steven Soles, k.d. lang, Jennifer Warnes, and Bonnie Raitt.
Sorry, no Bob Dylan.
Loved this show…it pops up on the tube once in awhile.
kd lang was cute in a dress.
thats springsteen stealing the lead with Elvis with the broken string, no Dylan ,
but the poster of the video was fooled too.
this is a regular PBS fundraiser.
Yeah ha! Thanks for the corrections, folks, did
I mention before that I’m actually a philistine?
Naa, a philistine wouldn’t have picked it. Just a minor error in attribution.
Probably the best version of Pretty Woman out there.
And to cal2, above, Springsteen goes for it in the “duel” with James Burton, but Burton just blows him away in the end.
Probably not “show stealing”, just awe in being able to jam with the likes of Burton and the rest.
The best version of Pretty Woman out there.
Vitruvius shoots, he scores!
Well, under these blushing circumstances, I won’t go
into my essay lauding philistines as great engineers.
And on that note, good night everyone, best wishes, and as always thanks to our
lovely hostess Miss Kate. We now return to our regularly scheduled kvetching 😉
Love it! So much talent assembled on one stage that night. BTW the whole show is available on DVD for rental if you search.
It has come to my attention that many people think that Roy Orbison was a human. NOT. No human has ever had the voice of an angel that he had.
Watching him jam with Tom Jones was a beauty too. Jones had incredible range…at least until he compared himself to Orbison.
Great choice Vitruvius!!!!

They’re good, but Sinatra rules. I’ll bet ole blue eyes sold more records than Orbison, K.D. Lang and Dylan combined. I know one thing, when he released “Strangers in the Night,” it out sold all of the the Beatles’ hits for that year!!

British author of Atonement “despises Islamism” – next HRC target?
=====================
An acclaimed British author could be charged with committing a hate crime after offering a scathing criticism of Islamic radicalism.
Ian McEwan, author of widely praised novels Atonement and Enduring Love, condemned Muslim extremists for attempting to establish a tyrannical society intolerant of women and homosexuals. His comments were made in the context of defending his friend and fellow novelist Martin Amis, who had previously been denounced as a racist for other supposedly anti-Islamic remarks.
“Martin is not a racist,” McEwan told the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. “And I myself despise Islamism, because it wants to create a society that I detest, based on religious belief, on a text, on lack of freedom for women, intolerance towards homosexuality and so on – we know it well.”

There is something I noticed for the first time this morning that has me very disappointed: I used a TD green machine that is now apparently powered entirely using “green power”. That’s not the part that upsets me – it’s the latest craziness finding gullible businesses across the nation to pay some middleman a premium for energy.
What has me upset is the insignia of the Pembina Institute being displayed on the screen of my bank’s machine! Since when does a bank partner up with a political special interest organization? I work in the Oil and Gas industry. My job is in diametrical opposition to what the Pembina Institute stands for – so have my paycheques now become “dirty money”?
I’m now seriously thinking of moving all my financial business elsewhere. The TD Bank’s now open association with a specific environmental (a.k.a. anti-oil & gas development) lobbyist organization has effectively put a stake in the heart of my longtime (and I mean LONGTIME!!!) loyalty.
I wonder if TD stopped to consider where the rest of the heat and power it uses inside its’ bank buildings comes from? Maybe the Pembina Institute can supply that too.
Arthur Herman, Why Iraq Was Inevitable
…five years after the launching of Operation Iraqi Freedom, both the mainstream media and America’s political elites treat the Iraq war as a disaster virtually without precedent in our national experience. But while politicians and journalists are not necessarily expected to be adepts of the long view, for professional historians the long view is a defining necessity. As the English historian F.W. Maitland wrote more than a century ago, “It is very hard to remember that events that are long in the past were once in the future.” Hard it may be, but the job of historians is not only to remember it but to judge events accordingly.
In this light—that is, in light of what was actually known at the time about Saddam Hussein’s actions and intentions, and in light of what was added to our knowledge through his post-capture interrogations by the FBI—the decision to go to war takes on a very different character. The story that emerges is of a choice not only carefully weighed and deliberately arrived at but, in the circumstances, the one moral choice that any American President could make…
James Kerian, Yellow Science
Scientists, like journalists, are called upon to plumb the depths of the unknown and to fairly and objectively report their findings to their own professional community as well as the general public. Scientists, like the journalists of yesteryear, have specific methods for ensuring that the public trust placed in them is not abused. The most fundamental of these methods is the well-known, if not so creatively named, scientific method. The essence of the scientific method is the formulation of hypotheses (ideas) and the using of these hypotheses to make predictions that can be experimentally tested. In the words of Sir Arthur Eddington in The Philosophy of Physical Science, “Every item of physical knowledge must therefore be an assertion of what has been or would be the result of carrying out a specified observational procedure.”
Nevertheless, over the last several decades an increasing number of scientists have shed the restraints imposed by the scientific method and begun to proclaim the truth of man-made global warming. This is a hypothesis that remains untested, makes no predictions that can be tested in the near future, and cannot offer a numerical explanation for the limited evidence to which it clings. No equations have been shown to explain the relationship between fossil-fuel emission and global temperature. The only predictions that have been made are apocalyptic, so the hypothesis has to be accepted before it can be tested…

Brilliant new plan out of Britain’s university system: Stop admitting the smart kids and let in the stupid ones.
Only in Brown’s UK…
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/gerald_warner/blog/2008/06/23/stop_clever_pupils_monopolising_universities______
Why did we never think of it before? Some dramatic social reforms are so obvious – after some radical genius has expounded them – that one feels humbled to have been so blinkered for so long. A university vice-chancellor has proposed that universities should give preference to students with lower grades from poor-performing schools, over candidates with higher grades from good schools.
In other words, the more stupid pupils will be admitted to university, while the swots, nerds and clever dicks are excluded. It is so beautiful and so simple. For centuries we were in thrall to the blind presumption that universities should be the preserve of intelligent people. Now that assumption can clearly be seen for the irrational prejudice it is.

Atul Gawande, The Itch
One morning, after [M.] was awakened by her bedside alarm, she sat up and, she recalled, “this fluid came down my face, this greenish liquid.” She pressed a square of gauze to her head and went to see her doctor again. M. showed the doctor the fluid on the dressing. The doctor looked closely at the wound. She shined a light on it and in M.’s eyes. Then she walked out of the room and called an ambulance. Only in the Emergency Department at Massachusetts General Hospital, after the doctors started swarming, and one told her she needed surgery now, did M. learn what had happened. She had scratched through her skull during the night—and all the way into her brain.
Itching is a most peculiar and diabolical sensation. The definition offered by the German physician Samuel Hafenreffer in 1660 has yet to be improved upon: An unpleasant sensation that provokes the desire to scratch. Itch has been ranked, by scientific and artistic observers alike, among the most distressing physical sensations one can experience. In Dante’s Inferno, falsifiers were punished by “the burning rage / of fierce itching that nothing could relieve”…

Mexico is riding a boom in small-car sales that has put the nation’s vehicle production on track to pass Canada for the first time and become the second-largest vehicle manufacturer in North America this year.
[…]
There’s more investment in small cars under way in Mexico. Ford Motor Co. [F-N]will spend more than $3-billion (U.S.) in the biggest single automotive investment yet in the country, which will begin producing subcompact Ford Fiesta cars for North America in 2010.
GM is spending $650-million and hiring 2,000 workers to build its Chevrolet Aveo and Pontiac Wave subcompacts.
One major factor in Mexico’s favour is labour costs, and the country is maintaining that edge with further wage reductions. Mexican workers agreed this month to a two-tier wage system that cuts hourly pay for newly hired workers to about half the current level of $4.50 an hour.

A cancer sufferer killed himself the day after he was denied a new drug on the NHS.
Albert Baxter, 75, was terminally ill with kidney cancer and was told by his primary care trust that the NHS would not pay for the new drug Sutent.
Trials of the drug have shown it can reduce the size of tumours by around 40 per cent and may have extended his life but it has not yet been approved by the National Institute for health and Clinical Excellence which means local health bosses are left to decide whether to fund it.
The day after Mr Baxter, from Eastbourne in East Sussex, learned he had been refused the drug he was found dead by his partner with a bin liner over his head, a coroner’s court was told.
Obama and ACORN
http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=ZTcxMDhjOTc2MGI0OTE1Y2QyMDYwYWE5MGY3OWJmY2I=
Obama has a long affiliation with group convicted of voter fraud.
If you don’t know what ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is all about, you better bone up. This left-wing group takes in 40 percent of its revenues from American taxpayers — you and me — and has leveraged nearly four decades of government subsidies to fund affiliates that promote the welfare state and undermine capitalism and self-reliance, some of which have been implicated in perpetuating illegal immigration and encouraging voter fraud. A new whistleblower report from the Consumer Rights League documents how Chicago-based ACORN has commingled public tax dollars with political projects.
…
Don’t bother asking Barack Obama. He cut his ideological teeth working with ACORN as a “community organizer” and legal representative. Naturally, ACORN’s political action committee has warmly endorsed his presidential candidacy.
…
Last July, ACORN settled the largest case of voter fraud in the history of Washington State. Seven ACORN workers had submitted nearly 2,000 bogus voter-registration forms.
…
The group’s vandalism on electoral integrity is systemic. ACORN has been implicated in similar voter-fraud schemes in Missouri, Ohio, and at least 12 other states.

Warwick, I found this interesting updated summary on Red Ed Clark: http://rodmcqueen.com/?p=174#respond (under “Staying in Character” May 28th 2008).
Kudos for Eddie giving a large chunk of his options to charity (any Liberal Party contributions???). It’s funny (as in 4 day old fish) how the head of the NEP under Trudeau is now the head of one of Canada’s largest financial institutions. One might think that the Liberals have deliberately cemented strong connections to Canada’s banks, eastern industry and the MSM? No wonder why the Libs still believe they control the country…because behind the scenes it appears they do.
All the same, I’m looking for a different bank.
It is time to admit that voting conservative does not work. I have been voting conservative all of my adult life, and it has resulted in numerous provincial NDP and numerous federal Liberal governments.
What Canada needs is a socialist enema; it is time to cram it down your neighbor’s throats. Vote NDP, and give Jack Layton a chance to do to Canada what Bob Rae tried to do to Ontario. It cannot be just one term, it has to be enough terms that the last socialist gives up their ideology.
Sure there will be pain, most people will lose their jobs and houses. But isn’t a chance for your children to grow up without socialism worth it?
Further to my last post.
All my adult life, I have watched Canada slipping further and further to the political left. Voting for the most conservative party available has not stopped this slide, or slowed it down. Time to try what Costanza tried, and do the opposite of what you normally would.
If we can get a big enough jolt of pain from the left, perhaps this country will start moving to the right. Think of Jack Layton as a taser or cattle prod that will turn the path of a political elephant.

A disgusting, troubling rant from a Democrat and defense attorney, who promises to “rip apart” child rape victims if Jessica’s Law passed.
A Massachusetts politician and defense attorney has touched off a firestorm with his shocking public vow to torment and “rip apart” child rape victims who take the witness stand if the state legislature passed stiff mandatory sentences for child sex offenders.
Rep. James Fagan, a Democrat, made the comments during debate last month on the state House floor.
“I’m gonna rip them apart,” Fagan said of young victims during his testimony on the bill. “I’m going to make sure that the rest of their life is ruined, that when they’re 8 years old, they throw up; when they’re 12 years old, they won’t sleep; when they’re 19 years old, they’ll have nightmares and they’ll never have a relationship with anybody.”

In May, the Interior Department listed the polar on its threatened species list because of the risks of shrinking sea ice. But Bjørn Lomborg, a Danish author and professor at the Copenhagen Business School, told the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on June 25 that the threat is exaggerated and wouldn’t go away even if every country in the world signed and followed the Kyoto Protocol.”

The lady who owns “Green Shift” was on Rutherford (Corus radio)this morning discussing the adverse effect of the Lib’s “Green Shift” plan. she has diven them until Friday to “cease and desist” using her trademarked name, however, all indications are that they intend to ignore her. Her last resort is to bring a lawsuit, which she cannot afford. Rutherford put out a plea to any lawyer who would take the case “pro bono”. Although there may a response to that request it would probably come from some lawyer with strong conservative political ties which the Liberals would get some mileage out of in the media. It would be better for her to be able to pay a lawyer without the political ties. Perhaps someone out there with more time and technical expertise than I would be interested in setting up a defense fund. SDA and other similar blogs could link to it and i’m sure the funds could be raised to hire competent and independent legal counsel. Any takers?
