found a GREAT classic country online station out of washington state, where
my great-great Charles Highland, his brother John Highland pioneered to Chelan,
Washington aboot 1903 (it's on find-a-grave!) $8 to see F.U.'s at the
Midway OR go to Flann's Brigham Circle, eat Irish bangers, beans and
chips and read the Emigrant (my great-grandmother Highland's Heatley
grandfather went from County Tyrone to Ontario, Canada AND walking through public
gradens; Quack, Mack and the rest of make way for ducklings are wearing lil
green hats! gittin' their Irish on, yo!) Never thought The Wall Street Journal
This Morning (WRKO 680 AM, 5 AM right after Coast to Coast!) would turn Coast
to Coast but google this: Serial
Egg Bomber NOT caught in Cleveland! Some asshole heaving eggs at an 85 year
old man's house....how about Dirty Highland (played by Clint Eastwood!)
caps young aspiring rapper's ass for making rap music?!?!?!?!? what about when
Rude Rudy got capped in Brigham Circle? (BGN: "Rude Rudie was just some
poor slob on the streets!") anyway, read about the Egg Bomber in the WALL
STREET FUCKEN YUPPIE JOURNAL what would Bob Bittner say at the top of the hour
about corporations? (and then play Johnny Cash's "guess things happen that
way" on SUN on Wjib 740 am?!?!?!?!)...and THIS has been the Boston Groupie
News of the Wierd! (channeling Joe Coughlin here; Johnny and the Jumper
Cables at Midway in May for Joe Fest!!!!)

A pleasant walk down ye olde cobblestone Charles Street (like i did with my
mother in 1988 before she met Mr. Butch at the Rat!) and i chanced upon TATTE,
new french bakery, where was another, acrost from what WAS 7-11! also saw a
Dogmatics drummer AND a bronze MALLARD DUCK walkin' towards me in the public
garden after the french cultural center was having a wine class which i overheard
whilst reading L'Histoire; Clovis
was mentioned AND the monks originally made white wine, NOT red coz it'd stain
their white frocks...yes, I AM a bouffant of "Useless Information"
(first Move album though i rather favour Roy Wood during WIZZARD..)....articles
one SHOULD read in l'histoire (forgive spelling, ma's great-great Sophie LaDuke
Vahue born 1811 Vergennes Vermont, died 1899 was the last one to speak the French,
so i make 'alf-'arsed attempts to read/spell/talk and go "Ooh", like
my Neanderthal DNA cave-painting in France "in-cestors")...."Jules
Verne: etail-il Misogyne?", from 1819: "L'enter Sur Mer: folie, deseyoir,
tuerte ete cannibalisme"....lastly, a piece on one of my idols: Alexandre
le Grand! or as they said in the Angelina (German descent from Jon Voight; read
GERMAN LIFE!) Jolie movie: ALEXANDRO MAGOS!!!!! that might ALMOST trump the
almighty KENOBULOUS

Today: Rock and Kraut! NOT Kraut-rock BUT saturday 14 march is shadows of knights
50th anniversary, singer Jimmy Sohns sends me gig reminders; another great midwest
band, the Gizmos, in Bloomington, indiana 11 july for recording and heading
morganfest, The Go Fund
Me page on Gizmos world tour page, so send money to Marvin Goldstein, oy!
BUT with melting snow, for the first tyme since November, before Gizmos, Chicago,
i went Goethe Institute, got my kraut on, yo (hey man, i walk past bromley-heath
EVERY fucken morning and yea, i dont fear no gangsta coz my samuel l. jackson
wallet sez "Bad Mofo!"). i picked up all kindsa books/magazines deutschland
uber alles AND they had FREE books! two in english, rest in German, did NOT
pick up FREE three copies of wim wenders photo books; lotsa coffee table books,
i can read one semester of beginning Deutsch, so contact me and, like the Gizfather
say "lissen, my Kraut-Scot friend, I'm not puttin' Johnny Fontaine in any
of my movies unless you get me some free books in German!" Mario Puso grew
up in Hell's Kitchen, NY, by the way, only 9 blocks from vanilla fudge/bb kings/The
Landmark Tavern/oldest irish bar in NYC, which I LOVED, food AND olde woodwork!
This is Kenne Rottennnnn....and aingland's STINKINNNNN""...More on
Michael Slade's Ghoul; ok, the killer is in London's sewer system; TWO
pages on history of London sewage, i double-checked the facts and today's Giz-story
lesson is:
Richard the Raker in 1200 and really DID fall in his own cess-pit and "
drown monstrously in his own excrement" PLUS, and even a Dicken quote,
look in wikipedia THE GREAT
STINK of 1858 really DID happen! (Highlands sailed in '45!) I have other
toilet facts and next tyme there's a BGN trivia night, i shall shirley explain
the enytymology of "loo
more info from Incestry.com: Gee Julie's great-great-great-great born 1770
bilsington kent, ashford district;7.86 miles away my same number granddaddy
Peter Highland born KENNINGTON Kent 19 september 1784. her great-great-great
born 31 july 1793 bilsington, kent; my same Thomas Highland born 3 march 1808
great chart Kent 5.8 miles away! TOO close for comfort, ole Tom Highland emigrates
to Motor City and his great-great-great writes "amerika first"; BUT
Gee Julie and i are fascinated by her great-great-great who was a THAMES WATERMAN
(like it on facebook!) she 'as a cuzzin in ainglind did the work, luv; reading
the 'istory of the Thames in Michael Slade's Ghoul, you gotta "love
that dirty water"! though her ancestor died 24 november 1833 ship stairs,
woolwich before THE GREAT STINK. other last joke, upon researching all this;
i tole 'er thames watermen are the ONLY ones allowed to TOUCH royalty; on my
facebook wall is a 'enry VIII re-enactor with a bloke dressed in red on a Thames
boat; me go "that's you (in red), that's me ('enry)";Gee Julie: "i
would have pushed you in." as long as i dont suffer the fate of richard
the raker!!!!! (wonder if HE left descendants; those lil shits

Radio On: WEEI, college basketball (IU at 530 pm!) and Duke won, I was in Asheville,
NC when they won a tourney maybe 4-5 years back; coast to coast AM (WRKO 680
AM), TWO thangs: "I believe in reincarnation" said the guest; send
that man Exploding Pidgins Implode! on stanton park records; item B, "4
AM or nearer" to paraphrase a Guess Who toon on RCA: Gee Julie hears a
guest talkin' 'bout " Australopithecus" (as covered by the
Beachmasters version of Hopelessly Obscure!) and I guess (check
out coast to coast AM facebook page, you Coasties!) "once there was tyme"
(Ten Years After!) when we had chimps/monkees (Chip Monck?), humans (garbage
disposals?) AND a "Combination of the Two" (check out Wool's version
and they were from Juddsville station, NY!) of Neanderthal/Simian= Sasquatch
and all them Bigfoot critters...oh yeah, and in Indo-nesia was a three foot
skeleton of such known as "the Hobbitt"; Gee Julie quipped (at zero-dark-thirty!),
eatin' that Indo-nesian food in hell's kitchen musta stunted his growth! LASTLY,
i go "y'all in the mood for some Bittner?" that's Bob Bittner WJIB
740 AM and true to 1971 when him and I (Rick James "you and I" was
from Buffalo!) both lived in Rochester, NY area (with Lou Grammatico of Poor
Heart!); fucken "indiana wants me"!!!!! i grabbed that bluidy epihpone
and the chorus is A/D/E like a Ted Niemeic song, bridge is in F#, if only Sol
Gruberger were alive to help me figger it, unless Ken Kaiser does...saturday
11 july 15, Gizmos in studio/on-stage and who WONT be playing Gizmos songs or
playing attention? yep, I will DRAG craig willis bell (rocket from the tombs!)
and Kelsey Simpson (the Mo Tucker of the band, being interviewed soon!) into
'70s hell on R. Dean Taylor covers...on Rare Earth!!!! other obscure fact: Bob
Richert had already graduated SUNY Brockport 1970 and was IN Indiana when that
song was a hit...tyme to be a chart geek, but i know it was ninth grade ('70-'71,
GRAND FUNK LIVE ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!)

spent the day of Saturn at the REAL Somerville Thee-ate-er; Groupie Towers
II! Turner Classic Movies (usedta be on in mah tray-ler in Charleston, SC back
in '79!) had a Ava Gardner salute; caught Bhowani
Junction, released 1 may 56 (I was released 2 april 56!) 1947 a BIG
year in indian independence; the ghandi movie, the jewel and the crown BBC series,
but never saw this! having an alleged Melungeon (Ava) playing an Anglo-Indian
(had to google-ate this and wiki kinda describes it as english father/eastern
Indian mother, famous Anglo-Indian pop stars: engelbert humperdink/cliff richard/pete
best!) IF i were politically correct, i'd be offended on how many tymes "wog"
and "chee-chee" was bandied about; suffice to say, Ava plays a "Half-Breed"
(how she learned to hate the word!) GREAT drama, Ava in a sari and I AINT SARI
'bout that! (sam the sham deep album cut!) plus if you're a british military
COLLECTOR, read wikipedia, insignia and units ALL mentioned! (ok, reverted back
to '67-'68 (chicago transit authority!) where i was playin' "Army"
one minute, then rockin' the next, then BOTH in '76!
After Bhowani Junction Gee Julie picked out Anarchy
TV-the Movie from
a buncha DVDs Blowfish sent over for my very own viewing pleasure; released
31 jan 98 (I recorded gemini on a full moon shortly thereafter); imagine if
Frank Zappa's kids (FOUR of them in this film!) took over a community access
TV show (was watching somerville's SCAT back in '98!) kinda like Airheads,
one of their allies is daughter of a Pat Robertson-type; it's on wikipedia Link
above), the di-rector did some commentary, and there's a quiz which i scored
as a "true paranoid" (the government conspiracy guy is funnier'n hell
too as is the naked aerobics japanese hooker!)...ok, don't wanna rotten tomatoes
spoil it, but FUNNY = Zappa's young'un's/mink stole/a barney miller cop ALL
in one movie plus full-frontal nudity on cable access! (I GET IT: hair
in 1969!); so watch it"
After watching naked aerobics with a japanese hooker on the Mean Screen, tyme
to use an Elephant Walk groupon: Ken/Gee Julie/Miss Lyn, Three's company, me
as jack tripper and Don Knotts IS my cuzzin! it was still restaurant week so
a three course meal for $99; that's $33, as in "die at 33/like Jesus did
for me"...other Ken Korps reference was that this meal was on PI day (3/14/15!)
and instead of Nervous Eaters in Beverly, my quip was "three course
meal at Elephant Walk; we decided to "Go Get Stuffed"!) (and my fish
still had head/eyes, Willie Loco Fish Eye Brothers reference!) Lastly,
check out 1520 AM, everett, washington classic country; everett, washington is
40 miles north of Seattle=lumberjack country and they lissen to classic country!
the workin' man's Amerika First music!"...
