 Carl,
John, Kenne |
Sunday 24 march 19. WHRB hillbilly at harvard says
they's a bluegrass jam two pm every sunday doyle's;
it was superb! walked over to Midway, Thigh
Scrapers did a credible "1970" (as did the Damned,
of course). (sending photos). 1.4.5. was next,
that Chris Spedding cover always boss. Stigmatics
sounding closer and closer to the Red Star album Real Kids each
tyme i see them. Classic Ruins always superb, they
got an encore. Before Carl Biancucci was Jack Bruce-ing
all over the place, he and Johnny Jumper Cable (photo) discussed:
JUMPER CABLES reunion! fuck it, it's in print,
it wont be A hard DAy's Cable with us going "where's Tommy?".
The Glider boys gave me and Frank Rowe
a ride to Tavern at the end ("of
your career"; Asa brebner) and highlights that i remember a
week later was MJ Quirk doing T Rex "lean
woman blues" (I THINK I was stoned and did this with Blaros
guy Rob Johnson at TT's '86 or maybe "nothing was real and
nothing (to be well-hung) about".....Frank Rowe
admired Rob Lynch doing the descending chords of
Gizmo and Garfunkel's "america" (I think I had the Yes
45! about '72) and my "tour-de-force" was an a capella
Son House "John the revelator" with my big-ass boomin'
voice goin' 'crost field hollers with a touch of my cuzzin's album
Trout Mask Replica (read Vulcher!). 5-7 pm is me and frank
rowe tavern at the end of the world,hope this makes the listings!

(part one!). monday 25 march 19. Beau travail. I love
her as a director! filming "seamy, forbidden" topics.
this'un based on Billy Bud, dont ask, i aint tellin ya jackshit.
but gays in the military being French Foreign Legion. a bit of
reflections in a golden eye BUT: the ending! (wiki): "the
final scene is a lively acrobatic solo dance to "the rhythm
of the night" at a night club in Djibouti." to be seen
to be believed but check youtube of course. Til Tuesday 26 march
19 I cant sleep. "story inspired by a real-life Parisian
serial killer dubbed "the granny killer". Raymond Chandler
AND Lou Reed go to Paris! integrated same-sex couple murder grannies
in Paris and it REALLY fucken happened! The Afro-pop music is

wed 27 march 19. regent theater, menotomy 730 pm, $15. STIV:
NO COMPROMISE, NO REGRETS. filmed by same dude did
J. Thunders bio. Highlights to be, in precise Modern Lover order;
Steve Bator Senior, of Czech Gypsy descent i read (mother was Pa.
Deutsch) was in a polka band! (like Gizmos drummer one state over
in Indiana!) Dude from Blue Ash that did the Bomp power-pop records
was in a band called Mother Goose; Stiv joined AFTER he left; Stiv
influenced by Iggy and Alice Cooper. the "I gave Iggy the peanut
butter" tale related but for a Halloween 1975 gig by Frankenstein
(I've seen the setlist; Rich Coffee and I COULD have jammed on same
covers in Sulak's basement, Highland Indiana since we met same month);
the props/makeup etc. so TOTALLY Alice Cooper i was loving it! Alpo
and I once at the rat watched the Dead Boys CBGBs footage; Alan
told me in his lifetime "they wanted me to join but i said
fuck your Iggy Pop/Stooges ripoff band" or some such Alpo-ian
comment. When it got to the 80s I fell sleep. A Hard Day's Night!
Somerville theater had some Jack Nicholson; Psych Out was same night
as Stiv but i went a month of saturdays November 82 and it IS on
youtube. Thursday 28 march 19 HEAD played
somerville theater 730 pm $11. No Micky Dolenz this tyme but I had
mailed that autograph photo to my sister (I told Micky about her
now born grandboy!) and I surely heard the Head soundtrack
enuff after i bought it for my sister early '70s....damn fine music,
even covered some of it in my life

 Luke
& The Apostles
|
Friday 29 march 19. 0700 Bevis Frond WMBR played
Luke
and the Apostles from Toronto; how could i live so close to
there and miss them! go
on youtube but what "sends" is me is that fuzzed-out
Disraeli Gears/Pugsley Munion (Fitchburg Mass Cream/Mountain trio!
I jammed country once with the guitarist) guitar. after work " sun shines
on the common at 715"....well, getting dark but I was in mood
for asian movies AMC common; More than Blue, a Taiwanese
remake of a Korean film (trailer
on youtube). Two high school friends live platonically, orphaned,
secretly love each other even after marrying/dating other people.
Guy dies from leukemia ala Love Story, girl allegedly
had left her husband so her true love can die on her shoulder and
allegedly commits suicide...yeah, yeah, yeah it's romeo and juliet
but if you dont "cry like a baby", try watching fucken
Emmet Otter whilst in the marines! sub-plot
is girl was a lyric writer for Asian pop singers and the REAL star
is the GaGA-esque pop "tart" who dressed like a Gwen Stefani
video. and I DO love the music coz I heard it on WILD AM! (which is
now Chinese, not soul, but all these minor-chord songs are sadly tragic
even if all i can say is "nee how"). Got a bunch of shows
coming up, too many to list so movies will be a rarity and I only
read books on the tube!"
