Crooked Mirror

Yukka Flats

"Geezer's Garage bbq." walked in as crooked mirror ("meer" in Brockportian!) played. country joe and fish keyboards and quicksilver messenger service guitar. As James Spader's nineth cousin would say Music to Paint By. Yucca Flats and the Feral Cats play mountain music with an ex-scruffy the cat and a dobro. i went nuts when they did a december 1948 hank williams b-side "i cant get you off of my mind" b-side of "mansion on the hill" 78. Bubbaloaf is a punk-blues duo like Man OR Astroman OR rockabilly yobs but at end sylvia got up to sing and it was danielle dax meets beacon street union. Bayou Boy orchestra is Geezer and kids plus tokyo tramps doing cajun music with accordion but NO SPOONS unlike kins they's ashamed of (which was Kenne on guitar and MIss Lyn on Spoons) This was cd release party and a hen roamed freely but city-slicker (springfield NJ) AJ wachtel didnt know the differnce 'tween chickens and turkeys! lots of MEAT grillin', one of those washboard 'crost the chewst scrapy things.....trees, an outhouse, AJ wachtel by the pond...closet thing to heaven next to west virginia! bob leger jammed on "born on the bayou" and "cant judge a book by lookin' at the cover" then Highland/Keegan/Quirk and Linehan jammed on ramblin gamblin man/steppin stone/pilolos/born to be wild; tokyko tramps up for spoonful and goin down, i dont need no doctor and then Paddy O for some Doors: roadhouse blues/when the music's over, shots being drank, south shore townies loving IT AND i even found folks who went to the Pony Room! aka ups and downs; i lived there for seven years know all the townie bars.....DAMN was that fun! more Nugent next year! i would only riff on that coz i'm a "tease, baby"...."....

Bubba loaf

Hen roaming free

"after all that classic rock at Geezer's cookout saturday 19 august 17, I got back to Da Hood in my immobile home and watched RFD tay-vee on mah mo-bile phone! LIKE them on facebook! it's like i never left the Blodgett farm in Clarkson NY...ole Roy Rogers cowboy films, Hee Haw....it's like a Blodgett family reunion! BUT remembering how me and my uncle/cuzzin (also kin to Miss Lyn) Howard Spencer Blodgett (descendant of SIR Henry Spencer died 1476 bluidy england; famous kin: and 17 generations away thusly my cuzzins: Britney Spears and Prince George, the royal baby! I could be in line for the throne! so make way in the outhouse (Blodgett outhouse now safely on clarkson NY historical society RIDGE ROAD, where, speakin' on talkin' shit, my fanzine Rock On DID originate!). ok, so ending with Paddy O. channeling Ray Manzarek and doing a Doors tri-fecta at Geezer's, I went home and lissen to.....the Mollie B Polka Party! (uncle howard and i usedta watch lawrence welk in the parlour in grandma's 1851 house). you can like her on facebook! you can watch her on youtube! fuck goin' the boston clubs and seein' Kacynski play in every goddam band! i'm wartchin' POLKA on sat'dee night! (also "alright for fightin'"!). Gizmos picture sleeve sunday 4 april 76 ("I'm in love with ken highland and so is he!"), bassist Dave Sulak (of Czech descent but close enuff!), his folks was to a polka party. drummer Jim DeVries moonlighted in polka bands, did classic rock with Cerberus and i punked his ass in the Gizmos. Dennis Thompson, MC5, played in Slovak bands, i think, read machine gun thompson's blog; reasons why the three best Midwest bands were Gizmos/MC5 and figures on a beach! and the polka crwod....guys in cowboy hats that looked like me but can "move like jagger"! not a fattie in the bunch! lean, mean seniour citizens....but reading my lewisohn Beatles bio, I'd rather hang with the Quarrymen and smoke secret service fags, mate! and in the morn, FS1, ist Bundeliga soccer! being a hausfrau, I kept googling where in der frick each team was from. to cap off my weekend, ALL three parts of the new edition story on BET! LOVED hearing all the Boston/Rocksbury references...."where's the rest of the band", a question in the studio..."oh they down the club with the ladies"....hmm...that IS why i started playin' rocknroll..wouldnt you rather "pull a bird", play like the Byrds, than "pumpin' to playboy"?".........

"16 october 73 Rochester ny auditorium theatre. with mott and aeroshit (editor of o. rextasy). audience, i beleive: college freshman greg prevost, pre-chesterfields and 14 year old lydia koch, pre-lunch, so i guess she was Lydia Brekkie! johnny ramone book commando - Johnny saved ticket stubs! "the last tyme i saw the dolls was 19 apr 74, coventry, queens (think i saw dictators there two weeks previous).with miamis and casterbridge union. 21 apr 74, since O. Rex and Gizmones think alike, me and the long dead solomon gruberger saw dolls/suzi quatro, bottom line 21 apr 74 reviewed in o. rextasy, archived in Cornell and DONT make me tell you how i'm kin to founder Ezra Cornell! reviewed in o. rextasy. somewhere betwen 2 nov 74 and 13 dec 74, dolls, cricket lounge, ashland, mass with reddy teddy. as for what i's doin' read my 1974 Genesee Beer and Loathin' in latest Vulchur. ghost of Solomon: "i saw the MY Dolls before Miss Lyn did! Suzi Quatro was robbed! 32 minute set and then they had a bomb threat! I've got a lawyer too!"....STILL, COUNT (Rumford, another cuzzin mine) how many bands came outta Dolls gigs AND Stooges academy of music 31 dec 73!".....

AJ and Keegan

"A Hard days night BUT...new app France Bleu; dad's ancestral Hugenot town of Strasbourgh played "should i stay or should i go"-clash cant surf, but how come Joe Strummer never wrote about saint bartholemew day massacre? AXS, direct tv app was classically rockin'! the classic album was Elvis's first RCA record...all this black and white footage of early 1956 shows; so basically In Utero (for me) Elvis left Sun and when I burst onto this world monday 2 april 56 and JR Cash recorded "get rhythm", looks like "heartbreak hotel" was influencing four young lads in Liverpool who infleunced me! on tour in the pink cadillac, it was Elvis (drivin' HISELF!) ole JD and scotty moore and bill black;scotty and bill would cuss each other out and wanna fight;stop and then ole JD would say "y'all gonna fight or not? we still got two hunnert mahles t' go 'fore next gig!" and i thought the afrika korps was bad.....followed by Neil Young being interviewed by Dan Rather and Stills vs. Young, my money would go on Stills for his military background, southern childhood and all-around assholedness! I doubt Neil, like Sid Vicous, could fight his way out of a bag of crisps! lastly, but SURELY not least coz I woke up 0400, snorted coffee and isten to Coast to Coast AM coz it was DAMN good: Ancient Alien Ancestors! atlantis was near the Canary Islands, my father has a DNA match (whom, moved to lousiana and beacme Islenos; wikipedia and they're basically SPanish Cajuns...what ole George Noory guest was claiming was aliens settled the Canary islandds then the Spainsh came...well it aint come up in my DNA...yet!!!! and i'll be singing caryl simon's "anticpiation" waitin' for Ken Kaiser's DNA test! HELLO UNIVERSE!"....

Kenne and a clone friend

"so researching Dad's Dutch line; my great-great-grandmother Highland, her grandfather was Morris Jacobus, living in Hanover NJ 1817 or so; her father John D. Jacobus was "of westchester county" (1850 living in yonkers as the original Kaiser was in 10th ward NYC, near CBGBs) when he got married in Bath NY 1847. so let's go on youtube for dutch drama (I AM the chairman of the BORED!) BUT: it's a winner! Waaldrecht is a dutch tv series, (on youtube) a dutchman in a fake brown leather jacket and a bad Abba haircut (this is 1971 through '73 Euro fashion) drives cab at night, cares ONLY about geldt (hmmm....I AM 1/16th Dutch)....his wife has an affair with a glam-rock refugee lookin' like a trashy Mott the Hoople-r (Overend got Overended! SUCH a bad haircut) and it's....Rutger Hauer! BETTER haircut in BLADERUNNER!!!!! wikipedia, facebook fan page...ALSO music by Ekseption who are EKSEPTIONALLY good! ....their 45 discog will keep me busy forever! TV Eye footage and this is TOTALLY Euro; Jethro Tull clone plays classical inspired keyboards, a lil research: the Nice DID play Holland, dude saw Keith Emerson AND he directs the band in Dutch! (where my semester of college German comes in).horns are in an If/Blodwyn Pig vein; imagine i hadnt bought Funhouse october '71 brockport NY yet and this kinda progressive rock WCMF, rochester was playing. "My Head's in '71"? hey! I even first wrote to Solomon Gruberger that year! and I shoulda answered Kevin Allin...as i snort my dunkin' donuts that i copped near the gah-den and the bobby orr statue (Sox kicked cleveland's ASS last night and i watched that at the Globe in copley square for a LOTTTT of innings....)....gonna be winter soon so when you're up to yer ass in snow, you'll watch dutch tv! as for Ekseption, they were same tyme as Focus or Golden Earring, but no US hits and Solomon Gruberger was an Anglo glam dude, so you think that fat bum woulda hipped me onto cool Dutch bands? Gizmos Mach II: "progessive rock dont it suck?" no, YOU do! hahahahaahhahahahahahahahhahahahahaha!"..

Kenne and another clone friend

youtube, more Dutch drama: 1985 Het Bittere Kruid and no subtitles! translates into the bitter herb and IMBH says it's Nazi occuptation of Holland young lady goes AGAINST the rules ("Nazi punks fuck off!") and kinda similar to diary of ann frank but better colours music costumes etc. not as grey if you follow me OR watch the damn movie! Kitty Courbois has a facebook memorial she starred in this so in case you want to bet some Guilders on Dutch jeopardy. "i'll take dutch actresses for 5000 guilders". alex trebec's fashions by Mister Van Guy ? ok Dutch is my great-great-grandmother Highland, Dad's grandmother was a Fischer von Nuewid, deutschland AND in honour of discovering Herr Kaiser's great-great, married to "segar maker" Louis Kaiser, born Bavaria, like mein Yousts I went on online German radio . BR Heimat in Munich: Bavarian folk music and stories!! Der Kenz need to do this musik now that i have discovered our mutual Bavarian ancestry . scheiss . ist der Kaiser mein kin? "
