McGruff Ken and Gee Julie drivin' to inman square lissenin' to WJIB in the rain, THEN playing chess at 1369 coffee house (she won) and then dinner with Steve Painter (12-cent donkey, gulcher) and Rachel Lee (Thee Psych-o-daisies) for a belated birthday supper at East Coast Grille. "Them Belly Full" (Bob Marley, mon!) and i awake 0300 or so and coast to coast AM talkin' 'bout pipe-smoking dog-men in trench coats have been spotted? huh? wasn't that me as McGruff the Crime Dog? then about 0400 a guy with a very flat missouri accent "tahkin'" about UFOs and shining lights on his truck "rout" I THINK it was I-80? check that coast to coast page! and wjib KICKED ASS this morn; beatles "she loves you' into mamas and papas "1230, young gurls canyon", a rare one for mamas and papas not THAT big a hit....

waiting in line at charles street post office; WJIB playing! the captain beefheart speaking voice of Bob Bittner (RIT '71!) made an unpleasant wait more pleasant! think it was linda rondstadt's "different drum" which was a) wrote by Monkee Mike and b) by stone poneys on capital!

as Gee Julie sang "Rainy Days and Mondays", we drove to Lilli's Pasta on tremont street for supper. after a lie-down, 10 PM WUNR, classic soul, midnight Danny Stiles (RIP), "the Deacon of Deja Vu!" played a Count Basie (!) theme used by an olde-tyme radio friend; then a 1934 toon used in the Shining ("here's...Kenne!");this guy is/was SUCH a Ken-u-copia of facts!

Bo Didley 0100 WRCA, right after Danny was a repeat of Boston country oldies, so during Anne Murray, switched to Coast to Coast AND looks like, according to George Noory!, the NSA can no longer tap yer phone? hey, they picked through my fucken garbage in Laurel Md. in the '70s and to "Tell the Truth" (derek and the dominoes!) HERE'S the fucken surveillance tape: gittin' drunk playin' a fender Duosonic to the Beatles hamburg recordings; writing "mad at the world" in my Laurel Md. kitchen, lissenin' to Bo Diddley's "say man back again", fiddy cent album ("you that thing i throw peanuts at"...) and lastly, watching Mork and Mindy/Three's Company (dad is cuzzin to Don Knotts but did NOT fall asleep instead of "getting frisky"!), The Ruttles (laughed my ass off!) and lissenin' to Myron Breholz on a hot DC summer playing Celtic music whilst playing Scrabble on the AU station (followed by Steve Lorber, Slickee Boys manager, and Joe Sasby, who introduced me to Link Wray! and for THIS, I got a meritorious unit citation for guarding the NSA! (of course hanging with david arnson at slickee boy gigs or talking to Kim Kane or Mike Livewire; were the fucken phones tapped then?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?)".....
