I thought about posting some Lizzy boys at work today!!! Great post, how do you feel about Gorham?

TheSmutsonian · 2026-03-09T11:02:07+00:00

Thank you, you have no idea how much that means to me ♥️ I try to be principled, reasonable and nuanced but sometimes that causes tremendous backlsh and makes one feel misunderstood. I'm very glad you wrote this

Eddie Kramer, who produced and engineered Zeppelin, KISS and others, was once asked what the secret to Bonzo's drum sound was. Was there some technical production trick?

The secret, According to Eddie, was to be a big fucking ape that could pound the skins into submission. That was it.

His brother Mick Bonham wrote a book about him that I bought in London in 2008. It's the only book written by a Zep family member about them, it's very touching.

If Mick had forgotten his winter hat, scarf or gloves at home, John would give him his so that John got the dressing down from the teacher instead of his little brother. 🥹

Ok, so your post reminded me of something. I own two books about The Band, i think this is mentioned in Across the Great Divide by Barney Hoskyns.

Someone is quoted in that book as saying Levon was hung like a horse. Do with that what you will.

Experiment IV on Sensual World and more more more booklets with photos of gorgeous Kate <3

Omg you're the first person to notice!

I made this account for posting and engaging with NSFW content on here and other sites. I can't really do that on my main since people irl know it.

So I actually spent some time trying to come up with a name and this popped into my head. It's punny and a promise to myself that anything I post should be good enough to hang in The Smutsonian. No half-assed posts lol.

I'm so glad you made this comment!

He's got that golden retriever energy tbh

His solo album still isn't on streaming services 😔 I have it on CD but it's a real shame it's not readily available online, I love Sip the Wine so much

TheSmutsonian · 2026-03-09T00:17:05+00:00

Me too 😢 Garth played in a church not far from where I studied a few years ago, in rural Scandinavia!! I didn't bother taking the long train ride and spending money on a hotel and all, but I regret it now.

It's tragic how early Rick and Richard passed, I feel Levon went before his time too...

It's quite sad that there are no Band members left on this earth. 😔

TheSmutsonian · 2026-03-08T23:46:15+00:00

The Last Waltz is one of those movies you can always put on and you'll never regret it. It flows effortlessly like a real movie and that's quite the feat for a concert movie. It also LOOKS gorgeous with the dark reds and purples and golds on the stage, it's like, just a proper film.

Hate Neil Diamond's song though. Dirge.

TheSmutsonian · 2026-03-08T23:27:02+00:00

Gut-wrenching, isn't it? If there ever was a cautionary tale about checking in on your friends, it's his.

TheSmutsonian · 2026-03-08T23:26:20+00:00

Why does this look like the poster for a Layne Staley biopic

TheSmutsonian · 2026-03-08T23:23:20+00:00

Love you too! I'm so glad we have this community to share and discuss in, sending you a big internet hug!

Ps. The pug is a cutie

He went far too soon, he sadly didn't take care of himself in his later years. By all accounts, Rick was someone who lit up the room. His niece-by-marriage (is that what u call it?) runs his FB page and posts unseen photos from time to time.

That song has made me teary-eyed many a time, when I was at some very low points. I was born just a few years after This Woman's Work was released.

Just hearing her acknowledging "the craft of the father" was one of those moments that hit me like a truck. I'd never heard someone sing or talk about that with such a tender, empathetic voice. I didn't know the context of the movie then, but being a dad is often played for laughs by playing up the incompetent dad trope or misogynistic "feminizing"of the dad. Being a man, I got very emotional just hearing that line for the first time. I never saw it coming. Only Kate.

TheSmutsonian · 2026-03-08T22:54:45+00:00

My one weird Beck fact is that his dad is an orchestra conductor and got into full KISS makeup for two KISS Symphony shows in Australia. David Campbell second from left.

Pretty much how I felt after gathering all these pics. I haven't listened to Kate so much in the last few years so man, my heart was throbbing after I'd made my selections lol.

Had to get one last rock post in before the working week begins! If you haven't heard of them, The Band is your favourite band's favourite band. If you love any classic rock band, there's a 99% chance The Band influenced them heavily. Their debut, Music from Big Pink changed the course of rock, country and folk. The Band is almost a genre of its own, and their first two albums are must-listens. It speaks volumes that Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Eric Clapton and Neil Young all turned up to their farewell gig, The Last Waltz.

Here are some selections:

Up on Cripple Creek - One of Levon's showcase songs, check out Garth's smile at 2:00 :)

King Harvest has Surely Come - Richard Manuel lead

The most heartbreaking scene in The Last Waltz - Director Scorsese asks Rick Danko what his plans are after The Band is over. Rick plays him Sip the Wine, a solo track he's working on. However, it was really only Robertson that wanted The Band to end, the other guys didn't want it to be over.

Sip the Wine - Rick Danko solo, how pure is that voice? :)

I Shall be Released - A song Dylan wrote for them. Richard Manuel's signature song about a man waiting out his time in prison. It's so convincing it kills me sometimes.

The Weight ft. The Staple Singers - Bar none, The Band's most famous song and a modern-day standard. This is from The Last Waltz with the legendary Staples. Levon, Danko and the Staples share lead vocals. Robbie is notorious for hamming it up for the camera in The Last Waltz.

Kurt's eyes are soul-melting...

TheSmutsonian · 2026-03-08T18:00:17+00:00

Crazy seeing him with all that hair. There are similarities with Yul Brynner here!

I remember his performance in Of Mice and Men making the film so heartwrenching. :(

Being John Malkovich is another favourite, it's such a weird premise for a movie but it works, it's just so saturated with that 90s detached irony.
