I hate to be a bummer, guys, but....

Fire destroys legendary Que. studio where Bowie, The Police recorded | CBC News A fire this morning has destroyed Le Studio, a historic recording studio nestled in Quebec's Laurentian Mountains, about 90 kilometres northwest of Montreal, whose legendary former clients include ... www.cbc.ca

And some of the photos (not in this story, google "Le Studio fire") look pretty devastating.

I really enjoyed the video Lashdeep mentioned at the beginning of all this, with Neil visiting again in 2014.  Stories I've read about (like the making of Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures), but fleshed out in more detail with real imagery, in his own voice.

Haha, funny you mention that. I?ll be going to the 2020 FCA meet at Mt-Tremblant with my 308 later this summer and Morin Heights is not that far away from that! When I was a teen and living in Montreal, I spent many times skiing and mountain biking up there...

P.S. Awesome link by the way Charles! Fascinating to finally know the story behind that song

CG, awesome link!!!

Thanks for sending that.

Now, we need Pete Rychel to take us on a tour of Le Studio in Morin Heights!

What do you say eh?

Meet in Lachute and make a banzai run up 329?

I was scrolling through the comments below the YouTube video for Red Barchetta that Peter sent and found this real gem:

http://www.bmwbmw.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8693

Red Barchetta was based on a short story by a guy named Richard Foster. The link above is a post Richard did about writing the story, and then eventually connecting with Neil years later and then being invited to do a motorcycle ride with Neil between tour venues. It?s a really cool write up, and then if you look right after the first pictures of Road and Track on that page there?s a link to the actual short story that inspired the song.
