Verb stairway to vinyl
|
'friday 17 aug 18, Miss Lyn sent me to see OC45
at the Verb; i watched one song, young thrashing and jumping about
but it's taken me an hour in HOTTER THAN HELL weather to get there
and THIS geezer was hongry and need a seat! ('does anyone know what
a CHAIR is?!?!?!?").....so I knew this Holiday Inn and the 1270
is now, like baseball tavern; $55 parking! musta been a home game,
I am happy for Sox fans that they are kickin' ass! so the verb,
is it, way the Grand Funk better than those sterile chain of a Hard
Rock cafe! Ida may: SUSHI whilst listening to "looking at you" and
"search and destroy" as dinner music! college kids still drink scorpion
bowls! The band was outside in an enclosed area, the real action
is INSIDE! climb down the stairs to the loo, wall plastered with
ALBUM COVERS, including Solo Loco! TWO turntables, one with Abbey
Road, one with Aeroshit. guitars and amps and coffee table books
on rock in lobby! A very splendid night even if i got lost in the
Fenway and ended up at Symphony Hall! My fat ass needed the exercise!
like climbing Mount Motherfucker, M-60 machine gun on my back THEN
seeing the Ramones "in that warm california sun", auguste '76.......

PRE-WTBS nuptuals |
"Monday 20 aug 18; in 1977, according
to my ancestry.com we're related app, two of Walt Disney's cuzzins
got married on WTBS by the Reverend Willie B. Felt.
mutual ancestor: "Ryse Rice Cole 1589-1646; Walt's cuzzins married
into the Pierce family from when sprang President Franklin Pierce,
Barbara Pierce Bush, W and Kins we ashamed of! But we'll save Dead
People Facts for next issue of VULCHER except Rat
Beach Party, unlike club bohemia, still going strong, only Lou Reed
is dead. So, in a nutshell, Love in Flame practice.
The Count and the Lady (Caroline),
Ken and Keegan (BGN! writers that
have been musicians AND Gizmos!) and new rhythm section: Roberto
from cantab jam and on drums, havent seen in forty years:
Robin "Sir Lord" Baltimore! Why do I have Blowfish's
guitar spot? Roberto is one of those seasoned Cantab jammers whom
I have ran into at both Cantab blues jams and/or in Boston's Baptist
churches doing gospel; REAL tight on arrangments and like James
Brown's guitar player, hit the first through fourth strings coz
the bass will hit the guitar's bass notes. i wont go into Firths
of Fourth etc. I been playing "Be my baby" and "summertime" WRONG
for years! "sister ray" into spencer davis "somebody help me" into
"jumpin' jack flash" (how any Jimmy Miller stories can YOU take?
and they're never the same!) also the Count's "I want you sexually"
which is a T. Rex vamp in G off the Count's Gay album ("makes Transformer
sound butch!"-Krazee Ken Highland, Auguste Pages!). This band (one
of THREE!) is Rat Beach Party saturday 1 sept 18,
same night Mad Painter plays club bohemia's
final night. Mickey Bliss's daughter passed her bar exam!
I did too....count the fucken empty beer cans! (GENESEE!)....Mad
Painter c note Hull friday 2 nov 18 with Harlequin! (close
down a club in town, but like Medusa, a new one WILL spring up!
and rocknroll AINT dead in Boston's 'burbs, the Midwest or the (Wilkie)
South!".....

"I WAS gonna bore you with my we're related app and how my mother
is eighth cuzzins to Bill Monroe through a Connecticut Yankee (grave
is in NORWICH) BUT, even better, amongst the living: INSTANT friendship
reply from JOHN MADANSKY! If you havent read the
BGN since sat 16 apr 77 that is Johnny Blitz from
Dead Boys!?! Now if I can only find Jimmy
Zero....oh wait! He's wearing a drink Miss Lyn poured on
his head! (Ha!! yes it was a shot of whiskey if I remember right!!-ed)
is that any way for a cuzzin of Walt Disney to act? (can't resist
slippin' in a lil "Gene Genie"!)".......

practices and Rat Beach party be DONE! But thank God we GOT a place
to play, Club Bohemia closing etc. Lady

Room Lowell mass. saturday 8 sept 18. John Keegan
WILL be on sax, Joe Quinn/Kevin Linehan,
bass/drums, me and Q guitars and Lady Caroline.
I have a buncha stuff after that but at moment, my mind is a "Foggy
Notion"...The Q is talkin' all kindsa tribute bands: Hawkwind/Phil
Spector etc. and in his i-pad we have 1200 songs! Before the WONDERFUL,
NICE, GREAT GUY (he reads this, he does!) John Keegan,
like Slade "take me back 'ome" b/w blues project live at cafe a-go-go,
chuck berry's "I want to be your driver", the Q and I and Lady Caroline
were working on a Status quo version of "he's got the whole world
in his hands" after, of course, I sang "caroline" by status quo
to lady caroline (Monday, I sang "Susan" to Susan "Keegan",
then, ON mike; 'well, Johhnnn (Brockport accent), that oughta keep
you out of the dog house". No wonder I been married and d-i-v-o-r-c-e
so many tymes. to paraphrase ole Hank "i aint gonna change and YOURE
gonna leave!".......
