Special Q & A with Ed Bicknell - DISCUSSION THREAD

[vgonis]

It was surely the most fun "lesson" I got in more than a decade, in the form of Q&A. And it was a full course, in music business, in human relations, in humour, in music and arts and  in giving without asking anything in return. I realized (with some surprise)  that the least interesting questions and replies were about MK. Maybe I am too old to really care, maybe I was never really curious .

I completely agree!

Ed recommended reading Terry Gans' book that documents the making of Bob Dylan's "Infidels." It's called "Surviving in a Ruthless World."

Only part way through it, but it's excellent. I've read a lot books about his Bobness, and this is one of the better ones. Very detailed (including chapter that details the prep work that was carried out in MK's basement in the West Village), but also light enough to be entertaining. Quite a few funny anecdotes that once suspects were provided by our Mr. Bicknell.

Provides a lot of insight into what (to me) is one of the most interesting periods in Mark's career.

Indeed a great book.

I wish something like that could be done about the LOG sessions, track by track, or STP which are both known for the big amount of songs recorded that remain unreleased!
