I will never not be annoyed that Richard Thompson didn't talk at all about Loudon Wainwright III in his memmoir "Beeswing". It covers the period up to 1975 and we know for a fact they must have to have met before that.

Loudon and Kate had their final seperation in late 1976 and their divorce was finalized by 1979. When Richard & Loudon met Kate & Loudon were very much an item, because Linda Thompson has said she & Kate met through their partners. Kate would hardly have associated with Loudon after '76 because she met her new partner in '77.

So where's the story? I just want to knooooow

Now I've had my chances with all sorts of men But none is so fine as my lad on the river

Love is a shiny car Love is a steel guitar Love is a battle scar Love is a morning song Love is a twelve-bar blues Love is your blue suede shoes Love is a heart abused Love is a mind confused And love is the pleasures I'm told And for some love is still a band of gold My love has no reason, has no rhyme My love cross the double line

It’s a chill Saturday, with low, dull, grey skies, and I’m cosying up in my favorite velvet chair listening to Kate and Anna McGarrigle sing Love Is. I am quite enjoying this, too!

Starmania

Starmania – The Show (1979): a Canadian-French cyberpunk rock opera (in French) written in 1976 with music by Michel Berger and book and lyrics by Luc Plamondon. At a recovery conference in Montreal in the 90’s I heard “Le monde est stone” at their cabaret & loved the song. While there I found a 2nd hand copy of the double lp & bought it. It was the studio lp & the songs was excellent. The…
