TIME FOR SUMMER HOLIDAYS

Dear friends of ThatWasMusic...

I´m gonna take some weeks of relax. Time for doing nothing, just a little bit of bird watching, beach, sun and iPod music. Also good films and good books. Hope to see you again in September. Have a nice Summer!

Jordi Doce, 25 de agosto de 2010 04:44: Hola, Julio, es una alegría encontrar este blog. Todavía recuerdo con admiración y afecto tu biografía-ensayo sobre Yes en aquella joya llamada "Moog Rock" y que alguien me "extravió" hace más de veinte años. Un placer verte por aquí. Enhorabuena, por cierto, por tu labor como escritor, ignoraba que te dedicaras a la novela. Buscaré tu trabajo. Gracias por tu compañía escrita a lo largo de los años (recuerdo muchas de tus reseñas en Vibraciones, también la entrada sobre Yes en aquella "Historia del rock" de "El País", hace una eternidad...)

Un saludo cordial,
Anónimo, 4 de septiembre de 2010 01:45: Hola Jordi,

Es un placer saludarte y poder comprobar que a pesar de los años todos acabamos reencontrándonos. Guardo recuerdos magníficos de aquella época de Vibraciones, Rock Espezial y Rock de Luxe, y saber que eras lector de lo que yo escribía me llena de orgullo. Aquí estamos, décadas después, todavía unidos por amor a la gran música. Un abrazo inmenso.

Julio

MICK JAGGER
WITH U2
Mick Jagger returned to the Madison Sq. Garden stage last week (11.05.09) as U2's surprise guest during their performance at the 25th anniversary of the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame. Without any introduction Mick strode on stage to sing an unbelievable version of "Gimme Shelter" with U2, Black Eyed Peas' Will I Am on keyboards, and Fergie recreating Merry Clayton's apocalyptic vocals. Mick then stayed on for a rousing duet with Bono on U2's "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of."

GOLDEN GLOBE
Many congratulations to Paul McCartney as it has been confirmed that his song (I Want To) Come Home has been nominated for a Golden Globe Award in the Best Original Song category. Paul said: "I'm honoured and delighted to be nominated for a Golden Globe. It's not the kind of thing that happens every day."

"As if it wasn't enough to have my song in the same film as Robert De Niro I now get the brilliant news that it's been nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Song in a movie. It's pinch yourself time!"

The song is also included in the 2009 Critics' Choice Nominees in the category for Best Song. (I Want To) Come Home is taken from the new Miramax film Everybody's Fine starring Robert De Niro.
