Bob Lind's Message Board

I hope that some of you were able to see this. I got up at 8 AM, only to find out that GMA had been on at 6 AM. Oh well .... I did manage to catch the Nightline show segment. I wonder if people were watching this and thinking 'Bob Lind? I wonder if that's the same guy who sang Elusive Butterfly. He ...

I got my copy today as well. Kie, thank you so much for mailing these out.

What a great article! Thanks so much for posting it.

I agree with Rob. Bob should be the one to get the demos. Then maybe we can all hear "Salty Blue" and the 2 others songs that were never released.

Actually, the first thing that popped into my mind when I read this was: "...times are gone that brought the girl that watched me try to change the world ... when I beleived I'd write the songs to point the roads of right and wrong, Silently she watched me try to put the world on trial .....&qu...

This is the 5th verse that was posted here before "the crash" . I'm glad that I printed it out then & saved it The open eyes of evening watch the penny-ante festival of fools below the moon The clumsy joker tries in vain to catch the prize before a thousand laughing princes. The night ...

FYI - Collector's Choice Music has this new cd featured in their latest catalog. It is available on their website as well.

Here's what the Turtles' version says: All they ever smoke is tobacco in Suburbia All they ever smoke is tobacco in Suburbia (next 2 lines are the same) The "living clean & decent lives" verse is gone and is replaced by: Everyone is making friends With other people just like them Anyon...

I finally got a copy of the Turtles' version of this song. I can see that some of the lyrics are the same, but some are different. Unfortunately, there's no lyric sheet included in the cd but I will listen to it a few more times and do a comparison study :>) The liner notes for the cd say that this ...

Sounds like great news that these cds are being reissued. I was lucky enough to get a copy the last time. I was just wondering if there has been any thought given to include Goodtime Special, Goodbye Neon Lies and We May Have Touched on this newest re-issue, since these are songs from the same time ...

Before I got my new cd, I was listening to a cd that I burned from the original vinyl recording. Beleive me, the new cd is an improvement over a copy of a well-played album!! I'm happy. (And there are the bonus tracks to enjoy as well.)

I FINALLY got my copy of "Since There Were Circles". The booklet was a treat, interesting to read Bob's commentary about the songs. Of the 5 bonus tracks my favorite is Colorado Line. (Well, so far anyway. I've only played the cd once as it just came in the mail an hour ago.) The alternate...

[quote="Anonymous"]A brilliant suggestion. An idea this board should applaud, but won't. Blind loyalty dies very hard.[/quote]


That's not "blind loyalty dies very hard". It's B Lind loyalty dies very hard!

Cover versions of songs are always interesting. I'm curious to hear different singers' interpretations of songs that someone else (usually the songwriter) has recorded previously. I haven't had a chance to hear Richie Havens "How the Nights Can Fly" but I'd like to. As far as Josh Groban i...

Ditto. Happy Birthday Bob. Hope you are having a great Thanksgiving/Birthday weekend.

(Bob even made my local paper today ..... in the celebrity birthday column along with Ricardo Montalban, Percy Sledge, John Larroquette, Amy Grant and Christina Applegate, among others.) :D
