R. I. P. Neil Innes of The Rutles - the cult Beatles parody collaboration by Monty Python and the original cast of SNL. I saw him perform at the Port Washington Public Library about eight years ago and he was fantastic. It was a whimsical mix of talk and solo acoustic music, and I remember that he closed it out with a section about the meaning of life, which he ultimately said was “to have fun”—a broad, but if you think about it, rather wise credo.

Today’s #autographedalbumaugust entry: What if the original cast of Saturday Night Live and Monty Python teamed up to make a parody of The Beatles? Sounds awesome, right? Well, it happened and it was kinda hit or miss, but regardless, “The Rutles: All You Need is Cash” is a fascinating show to watch. And it had its own OTT soundtrack of clever bordering on mean Beatles pastiches, too. The musician behind that, Neil Innes, is a thoughtful, intelligent and very funny guy in his own right, and I caught him doing a one-man show at a library a few years ago—a warmup for a quick American nightclub tour. So I brought this along and he kindly signed it.

THE RUTLES “ THE RUTLE” （ラトルズ「ラトルズがやって来た オール・ユー・ニード・イズ・キャッシュ (四人もアイドル)」）（WARNER PIONEER LP） 1978年3月にNBCテレビで「SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE」の特別番組として放映された「THE RUTLES in ALL YOU NEED IS CASH」のサウンド・ドラッグ盤。 帯なしは持っていたけど、帯付きが出たので購入。盤及びジャケとも状態は良好で、ブックレットや歌詞カードもきれいでした。 そう言えば、6年前の2014年6月にThe Rutles、と言ってもメンバーはNeil Innes1人だけど、来日して東京で6月4日と5日の2回、ライブを演りました。 僕は6月5日に新宿歌舞伎町はBLAZEで行われたライブを観に行きました。前座の日本人バンドの演奏を含め、とても良かったです。 そのNeil Innesも去年の12月29日に亡くなりました。享年75歳。 #therutles #neilinnes #ericidle #monthypython #thebonzodogdoodahband #allyouneediscash #ラトルズ #ラトルズがやって来た #四人もアイドル #オールユーニードイズキャッシュ #ニールイネス #エリックアイドル #モンティパイソン #ボンゾドッグドゥーダーバンド #広川太一郎 https://www.instagram.com/p/CAt3t8PHyVz/?igshid=13uujfcy6rzm0
