he is great.
that doc about him is on netflix streaming -- pretty good, tho the final chapter is sort of depressing.
this is great too

yeah i saw that - Roadshow or something like that?

"Debris" makes me so wistful

Ronnie was really wistful

Raptain Chillips (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 1 April 2014 19:30 (eleven years ago)

Excellent in both the Small Faces and Faces. In Small Faces, the tracks he sang provided a great balance to Marriott's passionate soulful lungbusters and excursions into cheeky cockney music hall. In Faces, the tracks he sang were far more soulful to me than anything Rod ever did. Sorry, Rod fans.

My favorite song of his:

Still think I haven't heard this one

curmudgeon, Tuesday, 1 April 2014 19:37 (eleven years ago)

It's tremendous. Arguably Pete's best solo stuff, and some of the most beautiful songs Ronnie Lane ever sang.

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Tuesday, 1 April 2014 19:43 (eleven years ago)

yeah it's pretty good, i think ronnie's half is way better...

this is a fun soundtrack

Anybody ever see that actual movie besides me? Clemenza?

Sir Lord Baltimora (Myonga Vön Bontee), Tuesday, 1 April 2014 20:02 (eleven years ago)

i have not! is it good?

Raptain Chillips (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 1 April 2014 20:07 (eleven years ago)

I've seen it; it's extremely well-done, and very moving in spots. I suspect even non-fans, or those unfamiliar with Lane, would dig it.

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Tuesday, 1 April 2014 20:25 (eleven years ago)

Oh, you mean Mahoney's Last Stand...nope.

(Thought you meant the Lane doc)

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Tuesday, 1 April 2014 20:26 (eleven years ago)

xxpost It's been 30 years since I saw it, and the fractured narrative confused me at the time. (Maud Adams was hawt)

But HEY, apparently the whole movie's on youtube now!

Sir Lord Baltimora (Myonga Vön Bontee), Tuesday, 1 April 2014 20:46 (eleven years ago)

I picked up a cheap copy of one for the road last month, love it

just sayin, Tuesday, 1 April 2014 20:55 (eleven years ago)

Little to none of his stuff is on US spotify

I have this:

Is it any good? I haven't listened to it yet (and unfortunately my needle has gone to shit so I can't listen to it at the moment)

Just noise and screaming and no musical value at all. (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 2 April 2014 12:23 (eleven years ago)

Oh. That was a picture of Ronnie Lane's See Me LP from 1980 but doesn't seem to work for me.

How good would his health had been by then? I can't remember when he passed away.

Raptain Chillips (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 2 April 2014 12:34 (eleven years ago)

He died in 1997, but had been battling MS since at least 1976.

Would have been 69 last year.

The bridge to "done this one before" sounds very much like Big Star
