"James R. Williamson accepted my "friend"-ship; i gushingly
told him: "did you know how many Raw Power licks i copied for first Gizmos
e.p.?" well, it's true! fund
that Gizmos world tour so folks can see me, their idol, live, but i saw
my idol, the Stooges 31 dec 73 academy of music; Kiss opened, Harold C. Black
of Teenage Lust DID wish me a happy birthday, then stooges, then
Blue Oyster cult! oh, wait, this sounds like your typical Jumper Cables set
list."...
Wednesday May 6, 2015 0100 and coast to coast AM; tonight's topic: photos of aliens from Roswell from 1940s only the lady that took the photos died and left no family and caint tell the tale! WORTH losin' sleep over! AND Gee Julie turnt on WJIB HERself only to have a Morrsion-esque basso profundo of me singin' "caint help fallin' in love with you"! Remember, elvis was 5'10 inches and 245 pounds or so at death, i still weigh more than that, so I remain BIGGER'N Elvis! and since there were three pressings of first Gizmos e.p., that=3000 Kenne fans caint be all wrong but they're fucken cheap! donate money to Gizmos World tour and "send this Gizmo to camp, alirght?" (quoting from "potato chip" by my shadows of knight facebook friends, jim sohns and jerry mcgeorge!)" saturday 20 june 15 COULD be Hixx/Club-Linehan-A-Go-Go at midway
4-8 pm; oops! MJ quirk: "i can, we will"; it's a gig! ("it's
a surprise"-third rail!) Thursday May 7, 2015
also Eddie Flowers doing the back cover "thank you's for Gizmos live on Gulcher, lists Gee Julie, Miss Lyn and will look like that back cover of chocolate watch band album thanking everybody!". google-ating a bit on Rochester NY garage bands; check out the
Quirks! from where dave voodoo doll curently lives! Interviews, their
Searchers cover sounds like Muck and the Mires AND a thought; "a
teen hangout in Webster NY"....Wendy O. Williams lookin' like a
real Mod chick? tyme and place ARE right and she was "of that age"...as
usual, "I Thought Out Loud" vs. "Laffed". Friday May 8, 2015 "Johnny and Jumper Cables practice at Jamspot on Carl Biancucci's birthday! (I met him when i's 18....no further comment!) so he gave ME a Cables live on WMBR '91 and it's da bomb, yo! Carl/Tommy Bull such a great rhythm section; i swear it was Jon/Don & Mel on the MC5 "ramblin' rose" cover! it cost us $5 each extra over-time to jam on "Gimme Back my Mercy" by ZZ Beard (that's "have mercy", ZZ top, i stole chorus from AND sang chorus of "gimme back my foreskin", it was BRILLIANT!) AND Montrose "rock the nation" and "rock candy" (Tommy Bull: "didnt we used to do this?") I caint Dive '55, but this Cables show will kick ASS!"..... Bury My HEAD at Wounded Knee: i try not to "fall" for the legend of the "Indian princess" ancestor but my Aunt Ruth Blodgett Kilmer, age 99 always claimed "there's some Indian in that line" re: my great-great Sophronia Draper Blodgett. Incestry.com sez: John Spencer founded East Greenwich, RI and my parents descend from two brothers, thus my parents are my 9th cousins; BUT goin' back on Ma's Spencer line have found many Corey of Portsmouth RI sites all CLAIMING (and it's 10 generations back for Ma) that Gasesett was an orphaned daughter of Sachem Minnetinka, Narangansett; orphaned and adopted by a white Quaker family (COULD have happened!) this is versus Dad's Tefft ancestor being beheaded by Narragansetts and a Tefft uncle being drawn and quartered for being on the Indian side during King Phillip's War. a lot of bloody, brutal history in the "good ole days" and i say, if you wanna kill a 'Gansett, drink one! (FIREWATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)" Looking on Gizmos world tour page; mutant
fest bloomington 11 july 15 BUT Gizmos world tour 2014 cd out in JUNE! Buy
some products and Go Fund Me! (You get a free Gizmos' CD from Gulcher if
you Go Fund the Tour!!) Saturday May 9, 2015
Sunday May 10, 2015
my quick memories of a GREAT Joe Fest - Johnny and Jumper Cables
show at midway last night; Gee Julie and I pull up, I hear the
sounds of Jack Bruce-an-cucci playing "crossroads", hear a
loud Marshall and I joined the "boys" for soundcheck. Drummer
Tom Bull pulls up, then we adjourn to Doyle's, i get a German plate
and, true to tradition we are served by Rick Berlin-the Waiter!
always good to discuss Jumpin' Jack Flash with your waiter AND be fans
of his music! Lenny Lashley was just finsihing up a
solo acoustic Army of One set, Stump the Undertaker was kinda
solo lounge ala The Electric Logs and Paul from MOTO got up to sing
a few lounge numbers. Cables did ramblin' rose/all this and more/search
and destroy and that was IT! lotsa familar Rat folk, good to see them
Still Alive and Well. "Kielbasa" is the ONLY way to end our
high-energy sets; Judd Williams, who opened for the Stompers
|
White trash experience: Dollar General on Cambridge street, Cambridge! THOUGH
I stopped at the Fairmont, WV one doin' some family research about 2009;THEN
i found out my great-great was a Knotts! (further research=Dad's kinship to
Mr. Limpit and why i always fall sleep instead of "getting frisky")....coast
to coast had a self-professed "I was a hippie on Haight-Ashbury" TM
guy who did transcendental meditation in prison for murderers....0300, gotta
pee, y'know! and WJIB: "carolina in my mind", jr. high, brockport
NY for me and RIT for Bob Bittner AND James Taylor descends from the Cape Fear,
NC Highlanders, though you'd think he'd be a bit more aggressive musically,
though Celts can be melancholy too...AND for Ken Kaiser; besides "Venus
in Blue Jeans"-jimmy clanton, sung to me by TOM TABER "In my Room"
early '72 was Buddy Holly's 'everyday"; let us give TRIBUTE to Hard Breathing
Days author Thomas Taber (mentions some of my kin in his Civil War book!) for
selling me a 39 cent (yes, 39 IS there!) album for a dollar, i heard Buddy's
solo in "peggy sue" and Light Dawns Over Marblehead; "gee, that
sounds like Merseybeat!" (only, 16 and savaged, only reason I "Got
Back" to Buddy was coz it was a Beatles influence; oh, yeah, there's that
John Felice-sounding Holly cover on Beatles VI; or am i getting my chickens
before the egg/queen? (cryptic, so obscure.....)
Coast to Coast, 0200 maybe: George Noory 'and now our guest about ghosts is
Jim Harold"! Did I DREAM this? Nope, here it is on the 
at SUNY Brockport in '84, said "you're a great lead guitarist but
man you're such a GREAT frontman!" hey, he's from Cream Ale country
(the town garbageman in Brockport was Tootie Judd!) and he likes Grand
Funk and Bloodrock; duly noted! (on a rochester garage site "Judd
Williams left the Swing Set to move to boston"; that power-pop
chesterfield king roadie band usedta practice on the sweden-walker road
where my grandmother Blodgett was born; kinda became the riviera playboys.
AND Billy Squire DOIN' A midway docuemntary; he got JV McMoto and she
said "Kenne, i'm never following you again!" well, i DO put
all the lifeforce energy of Jerry Lee Lewis's inbred cuzzins into a
performance. and MOTO: beatles meets ramones via buzzcocks ear worms
like :"do you have to be a dink about it" OR "i hate
my fucken job" and closer, with "roy sludge", jim foley
in joe coughlin mask, midway owner, me, MOTO AND MJ quirk on guitar;
GG allin's "bite it you scum"! Joe Coughlin woulda
been 56; 28 IF twice! (abbey road cover!)".....
