Hey Skip,
I haven't gotten round to reading the book yet, & probably won't for at least another week or two, but from what I've seen in interviews, etc, it's hard for me not to expect that Veloso isn't coming from a fairly "intellectual" position.
But that may be less of a negative option for me than for you.
It's not that he comes from an intellectual position. More that he wears it on his sleeve and uses it as a means to kind of slough off people like Elvis Presley as being somehow too rustic to be considered by the intellgentia. Also, he has a way of overstating the importance of everything.
&, since you & Jon Mooneyham, seem to be familiar with the live DVDs, do you all (or any one else) know what the source for the footage they used a couple of weeks ago for a story on the JimLehrer News Hour on PBS?
Bests,
Herb
No, but if you tell me what the band was (what instruemnts) and what tune they played, I can probably tell you.
