Is this true? There has been No vinyl releases of this great rock legend for over 25 years. This is some kind of tragedy. How can a singer of his caliber. Not have any of his great music not reissued in this modern vinyl comeback. Maybe I hold him in higher esteem than the public or the record companies but I don't think so. This guy was awesome. On A lot of his albums you never knew what genre was coming up next. He could do it all and do it well. Rock, ballads, stories, classical, jazz, folk, bluegrass, and more. How does someone as great he was, get overlooked? Does he deserve to be left out or is there some reason his catalog is not being released? What's going on here? I'd really like to know. Thankfully I have all of his LP's already but I find it strange that it's been so long since any reissues on vinyl. This really does sound like an injustice. If I were a SHite, the word "criminal" would come to mind. Who can it be? He does rock, ballads, stories (which is my favorite genre of music), classical, jazz, folk, bluegrass...and if that weren't enough, he even does more! Not only that, he is "awesome" and a "great rock legend". a singer of "high caliber". Even this superfan doubts the public doesn't hold this singer in such great esteem as he does, he's that fucking great... Who the fuck can it be?!?Gram Parsons? No, he didn't do classical, did he?...David Grisman?...well, he's not quite a "rock legend" is he?...Bill Frisell? Now that would be tragic if tragedy is measured in vinyl reissues, but no, he seems to be duly reissued...I'm running out now...Jorma Kaukonen? No, that classical thing is getting in the way...John Cage? But he didn't mention avant garde, plus he isn't a rock legend...Is it a trick question, and he is referring to a prolific sideman, like Sneaky Pete Kleinow? But lots of records with him are out... Duh, I dunno...I give up, who is it? Dan Fogelberg. Dan fucking Fogelberg. Dan fucking sing-me-another-lullaby-and-put-me-to-sleep Fogelberg. For once the record industry does something right, and this guy complains? Fucking audiophools. forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/do-you-still-listen-to-dan-fogelberg.694555/ |

Jesus, I hate that guy. I saw this on someone's FB feed today, and it's pretty fitting: In 1980, Dan Fogelberg released the song, “Same Old Lang Syne.” It’s about a very Dan Fogelberg-like dude who is not Dan Fogelberg bumping into his former girlfriend (or as he calls her in the song “my old lover” which makes everyone in the song AND everyone listening to the song really uncomfortable) in a grocery store on Christmas Eve. She doesn’t recognize him at first, until he’s like, “Hey! It’s me! The Dan Fogelberg-like dude who is not Dan Fogleberg that you used to bang back in the day. Remember? I introduced you to granola.” Then, she’s like, “Oh yeah. I’m married.” Not Dan Fogelberg goes in for a hug and she tries to fend him off with her purse and, in the process, spills its contents all over the grocery store floor and they laugh until they cry, both for very different reasons. Him because it’s hilarious when women are klutzy, especially the ones he’s stalking and her because it’s a desperate cry for help. She reluctantly agrees to have a drink with Totally Not Dan Fogelberg, but no bars are open, which tells us that this story takes place somewhere like Kentucky with antiquated liquor laws. They, instead, grab a six-pack and drink it in her car (HER car = safer space than HIS car). “If I’m going to have to endure a trip down Memory I’ve Tried to Forget Lane with Totally Absolutely Not Dan Fogelberg, there is no way I’m not getting shit-hammered,” she thinks to herself. They reminisce and You Think I’m Dan Fogelberg You Must Be Joking humble brags about his music, which he probably refers to as “his art,” and she tells him about her completely real and not made up marriage to an architect. “Art Vandelay is his name. Yep, I am 100% being honest with you that I am Mrs. Vandelay,” she says. Finally, after Dan Fogelberg? Never Heard of Him’s incessant toasting to “innocence,” the former lover (ew) makes her exit (getaway). “Got to get home to Art. Art Vandelay. My husband.” Cue sad saxophone music as Schman Schmogelberg watches the falling snow and contemplates why he didn’t get laid. Read more in my blogport from last night's Geeks Who Drink pub quiz at Dry Ground: www.geekswhodrink.com/event/5a46751de4b0ad6aa48ab89eFor some reason, Schman Schmogelberg made me think of Steve Hoffman doing that same thing. |

I'm horrified that there have been no new Caruso 78s available since the 1950s. Criminal.
P.S. Who the fuck is Dan Fogelberg?

He's the guy who sits between Focus and Foghat in every serious music fan's collection.

 Funny, I think it's this look that STeVE tried to capture in every one of his old promo pictures. |

He's the guy who sits between Focus and Foghat in every serious music fan's collection. This is apropos of nothing, but since I don't have much more to add about Fogelberg, I'll mention this: Actually, in my archive, he comes in between Damo Suzuki and Dan Hicks. Since I long ago went 100% digital with my music collection, things get alphabetized the computer way, which is by first names instead of surnames. (Worth mentioning here that I don't have Dan Fogelberg on my HD out of fandom; I have pretty much downloaded everyone to satisfy my archivist, hoarder tendencies.) This mode of alphabetization is actually something I did even when I had 'physical product'. It started when I lived in Japan, where record stores alphabetized their stock of Western artists by first names. I just got used to it. I actually prefer this style of alphabetization. It rids me of clumsy constructions like "Sheridan, Tony and Beatles, The" which chafes the grammaretician in me. This does mean that once the alphabetical list of folders hits "The", there is a ton of bands alphabetized by the second word in their names. But I got used to that too; if I want to hear the Kinks, I go to T not K. The only problem I have is knowing whether or not a band used "The" when I add a folder, since I am usually too lazy to look it up. Eagles, Pixies, and Carpenters get no "The", but what about "Grateful Dead", which was called "The" on their debut? Still, I have managed just fine this way for decades. I will never go back to the standard way of alphabetizing music folders (my media player offers me the option, but I ignore it). Not only because I'm more used to my way, but also because I am sure such an anarchic approach would offend the sensibilities of most SHites. And that really is all I have to say about rock legend, Dan Fogelberg. Wouldn't matter to me if he gets his vinyl; I won't be buying that shit. |
