	Steve Carlton QUOTES? - Baseball Fever
		Time has faded my memory a bit, but I recall Carlton publicly thanking the Philly fans after his release, and sometime in spring '94 he made some very controversial remarks that were rather blatantly anti-Semitic.
		It surprised me that Carlton did such a thing....not because he's so perfect...but because he never impressed me as one who was interested in much beyond his personal career and the progress of his team.
		Carlton claims he was misquoted, and admitted he was angry that his post-baseball life was not going well, and didn't mean for his remarks to be taken out of context.

		Young Master Luke looses some wild jazz-blues improvisations (heavily informed by his rock foundation), Larry Carlton chooses to explore his guitar's neck with jazzy chord-soloing and nice scale runs, and the two trade tasty licks in the final coda.
		Carlton and Luke demonstrate their ability for harmony riffing, then each gets in one more good blow before the song brings the cd to a rocking conclusion.

		Since he refused to speak to the media from 1974 through the end of his career in 1988, all people really knew about Steve Carlton was that he had a focus that bordered on robotic, a slider that bordered on unhittable and a personality that bordered on bizarre.
		Carlton was always known as an odd bird, but his peccadilloes became public when he spoke at length in an interview with Philadelphia Magazine in 1994, just before his induction into the Hall of Fame.
		He said that he never said such a thing and certainly did not believe it, mentioning for good measure that Sandy Koufax was one of his heroes.

		Guitarist Steve Lukather’s long term involvement with the pop band, “TOTO” amid countless sessions has made him perhaps one of the busiest and most sought after musicians on the West Coast, as the same could be stated for guitarist Larry Carlton.
		According to the public relations information: “The combined sales totals of the albums that Carlton and Lukather have performed on over the years is staggering, in the hundreds of millions by conservative estimates”.
		Larry Carlton’s lyrically rich and euphonic “Room 335” reaps a mild overhaul thanks to the twin lead attack while the band commences the set with a blistering fourteen minute version of Jeff Beck’s “The Pump”.

		Johnson is on track to pass Carlton in strikeouts this sesaon, but he may not quite catch Carlton’s percentage of team victories.
		If Johnson were to finish the season on, say, a 17-1 run, to give him 27 wins, Arizona would have to go no better than 29-50 over the remainder of the season, or 12-49 in non-Johnson pitched games.

		Longtime L.A. studio guitarists and friends Larry Carlton and Steve Lukather lead a quintet rounded out with keyboards, bass, and drums on five instrumental tracks recorded live in Osaka, Japan.
		The band feels rigid, particularly Chris Kent on bass, and the music lacks any sense of interaction between the musicians that should be present in a live situation.
		On the back of the record, Favored Nations label president Steve Vai says “This is the kind of music that real guitar lovers live for.” Maybe, if you like repetitive guitar solos over unimaginative grooves, but it isn't the kind of music that real _music_ lovers live for.
