Lotsa good hippie 60s vinyl albums like quicksilver/buffalo springfield etc. cool Top 40 hits like Turtles et al on 45 AND: "Dead on it (parts one and two!)": engineered by (on label!) BOB BOTH! Polydor 1975. Two years later, same credit on "I love you laurie" b/w "joyce" (kleen-kut); good GOD y'all!!! Bob Both only works with the GodFather of Soul and the GodMutha For ya! (that be my cuz Martha Hull on "I wanna burnout"!). also, a 33 and 1/3 lil book of the Velvets banana lp gave Jon Richman by Jay Dobis and wrote by Joe Harvard! Glad to see people I know in Providence record/book stores! made Miss Lyn buy some Cure book; if you ever saw the Outer Limits where Blieb Alien skimmed through a book and could recite it (quite impressionable on lil Kenny Highland's Total Destruction to your mind! (that's Swampp Dogg y'all!) SO....Big Bobby Smith a Hendrix fan! as was Steve Jones, Sex Pistols hearing "purple haze" on some lil record player....back in boston

sunday 25 feb 18, doin' me laundry, pourin' rain, BBC radio Ulster....it's an interview wi' Van Morrison! (that's SIR Van to you!) and his new jazz album "album of the year" declares me! UlsterMan NO Surrender quote that explains me AND Van on covers: "ef yih dint dew a sahng yer oon way whot's thih pint?" translated from Ulster Scots and our editor descends from Hugh Maxwell, born county Tyrone, norn ireland, fell off a horse, buried old bedford mass cemetery: "what's the point?" those fucken note-fur-note cover bands, i mean each note's in place but soul is LACKING and would Bob Both produce THEM?

"Idle hands are an Asa Brebner band and devil's workshoppe, so I spent a lovely afternoon on ancestry.com and as usual (why?) decided to research GG Allin....who DID make history coz he's on there! marriage certificate, 6 oct 78; I coulda worn my Marine uniform (picture) like I did to Miss Lyn's brother's wedding! Merle Colby Allin SENIOR: first wife was a Blodgett! yes, cuzzins to Ma but it gets better...on the Colby ("Do the Boob"?) side is a Blodgett grandmother and I almost shit (wasnt on stage, sorry) when I saw Brimfield Mass. listed. SO let me bore Blowfish with this: Joseph Blodgett left Lexington mass (corner of North and Adams, terry-actyl-ville) 1729, wife was a Stone, distant cuzzin to Miss lyn and Carl Biancucci. first white man in Brimfield mass. (Nipmuck hunting ground and glad he didnt have a Hekawi guide!). drew lot 14 of Blodgett Mountain; I've seen Brimfield history book MORE rare than a Rising Storm album!) Joseph's second wife was a Springfield mass Ingersoll, GG and merle's ancestor born 1748, mine born 1751: elijah blodgett, green mountain boy, bought second piece of property in clarkson NY where in 1971 Kevin Allin writes me from Lunenberg Vermont! as George Noory says, there are no coincidences, so whilst our Blodgett ancestors were in the revolution, Merle and I met at cantone's 1978; this is after Lt Matthew Allin was at Bunker Hill. moral of tail: our ancestors were in revolution, in Bi-centennial, O. rex and malpractice in rock scene opposite pages revolutionizing music. I told Merle he's about my sixth cousin and he "liked" that....I like him too!"....

Bassist Joe "The Mighty" Quinn, like Slade, got to "Take ME Back 'ome" and on sirius: Metallica with "seek and destroy"!!!! yeah!!!! THAT'S what i call a good practice!"....

friday 2 march 18, Lou Reed's birthday and my father was interred in arlington cemetery but it was SUNNY that day not a Nor'easter! So sipping coffee this morn caught REGRESA (wikipedia). 2010 Mexican romantic comedy about past life regressions; one lady gets "stuck" as a basque-speaking princess in 15th century Navarre, noone speaks basque except for this fine dining chef...it was funnier'n hell! followed by Sephardic Medieval music which is quite soothing; played a bit of guitar to it, some drone in D; you can add yardbirds licks to it...and since Geezer's Garage Night was canceled due to Nor'easter, that was the ONLY playing I did today, last day of stay-cation"....

How to survive a Nor'easter on Lou Reed's birthday: watch Witchhammer. I'd spent my vacation day during the Nor'easter researching the Portuguese Inquisition but looking on youtube came acrost WITCHHAMMER, 1970 czech movie (wikipedia) about the Northern Moravia witch trials of 1670s, ironic coz dad just got a DNA match from that area kinda, but it's more Austria bordering on Bavaria. "after its completion the film was banned in Czechoslovakia"; also "allegory substituting the inquisition for show trials in communist regimes". Besides full-frontal black and white female nudity as the ladies get inspected for "witchdom", if you saw Ken Russell's the Devils, you, like the Pretty Things, Get the Picture. otherwise and I SHOULD expound on this in Radio On! Ken Highland and Boston AM radio for Vulcher; WRKO 680 AM on Jim Bohannon, there was some dude talking about artificial intelligence and mating it with humans like DemonSeed and another caller talkin' 'bout a Twilight Zone where a dude's wife was a robot. "I had too much to dream last night"! and of course, my favourite, coast to coast AM, George Noory had a guest playing Lee Harvey Oswald talkin' backwards "the three men are walking away"; Noory thinks Oswald was a patsy! "and i shouted out who killed the kennedys"....from coast to coast app and you NEED it; "david john oates is the founder and developer of reverse speech technologies".....this was more fun than playing Beatles records backwards in '69! there was a JFK speech three years previous to assassination where if you play tape backwards he talks about getting shot in the head....I bolted outta bed for that!!!!! well at least by 0100 there was no more wind and Nor'easter! Just Noory....."......
