Be sure to read gr_chereck's great review from Lincoln, Nebraska in the archives. I finally got around to posting it so it's new on Jojoblog! The review was originally posted to the Rockin Leprechauns mailing list.

vintage 1996

From: poppy
Date: Thu, 8 Feb 1996
Subject: Phil Kaufman reveals little

Just picked up Phil Kaufman's autobiography, which is a very flaky little book. He worked for the Stones and Zappa and Emmylou Harris, but is best known for initiating the Gram Parsons body theft caper.

Anyway, he was somehow associated with the Modern Lovers when they went to LA to record the first LP. Couldn't have been that close a bond, b.c. he misspells Jonathan's name, but they played the benefit for Parson's coffin (oh, its a long story, hope I'm not being a big jerk for not telling it) and there's a neat photo of them at playing that show.

The book otherwise has next-to-no JR content, so find the picture, say "neat!", but don't buy it for the Jojo connection.

David and Goliath*


When David met Goliath, down on the valley floor,
From then on he gave courage to the underdog, forever more,
When David met Goliath, what a day,

King Saul said "David you can’t fight him, he’s a full grown man"
David said "Saul look, the Lord will deliver Goliath to my hand"
Oh, when David met Goliath, what a day,
David and Goliath, David and Goliath, oh yeah,

Goliath taunted David "come here and I will slay"
David said "I’ve killed lions, protecting my sheep"
David met Goliath, what a day,
David and Goliath, David and Goliath,

Goliath came on David, but David had no fear,
Because he said, "my God protects me not with sword nor spear"

David met Goliath out on the valley floor,
From that time he gave courage to the underdog, forever more,
David and Goliath, what a day,
David and Goliath.

I have no reason to doubt her *



I have no reason to doubt her
One of those things that I like about her,
when she’s mad I always know
Takes just about a second, and I find out,
So everything we do together is fun,

I’ve got no reason to doubt what she says,
Coz she’s honest, all the time,
I have no reason to doubt things she says,
She’s like that, she was like that when I met her,

I have no reason to doubt her,
And one of the things that I like about her,
Is when she’s mad, ya’ll always know,
When she’s upset, I always know,

Everything we do is fun,
Everything we do is fun,


Performed at Liverpool University, UK, 20th March 2003.
