"Saturday 11 sept 21. checked my post box and January last,
Gee Julie had bought me a Brattle membership.
Come march, alles scheisse. SO they mailed me a NEW membership expires
next year! A YEAR AND A FUGGIN HALF without the big screen; scheisse!
like bein' in prison! ("Hello....ah'm Kenne Highland"...)..Got
calendar too. PLEASE take notice of upcoming Werner Herzog
festival! But what I DID catch at 630 pm was Eyimofe
(This is my desire) and I have TEN free passes! DO bring your
credit card for cashless concessions. So this movie got some kinda
award in Berlin and deservedly so. Telling the depressing, wretched
poverty of lagos, Nigeria made me wanna channel my MC5 8-track with
"I'm so glad i'm livin in the USA"...A very good Afro-Pop
soundtrack which means even in bad tymes in Gut Musik. All in all,
glad the brattle (like
them on facebook!) is back, though the Harvard Film Archives
remains closed".....

"Sunday 12 sept 21 3-7 pm was cantones reunion at Midway
Café for Frank Rowe's 70th. I et in the eatin' place
next door but could hear Richie Parsons play "three
chord rock" through the wall: soundin' great as I had cheeseburger/fries/coke
for under ten dollars! DID catch the Classic Ruins
and Frank Rowe,age 70 was on fyre. Cream's "Tales
of Brave Ulysses" ALWAYS a Dee-Lite watching Carl Biancucci
try to outplay Jay Gruberger with one finger. Frank DID
announce that "Lights Out" was a very early Dr John toon;
gotta research that 'un! Cantones/ Rat reunion with folks pulling
down their masks like a "Levity Ball" and even Chuck
Warner of Throbbing Lobster drove in from Cleghorn, the
Miss Lyn's birthplace! REALLY enjoyed the Link Brothers
which was Steve Aquino of the Actions on guitar;
"a Link Wray fanatic" cutting loose more so than he is
allowed in Lyres (caint sue me fur tellin' the truth...) on bass
from MuscleCah was Chris Lillyman whom was in general
Foodz in 1980; Ken Kaiser re: their 45 "Highland this is how
we should sound!" (I HAVE told Chris Cah this)...on drums was
Classic Ruins drummer DAve, so this is a Worcester SUPA group that
I SURELY would LOVE to play with out Worcester...Lastly, after year
and half was Kenne Highland's Air Force. Various
comments was how psychedelic the music was; channeling Eric Stumpo
and Plan Nine DID work! Sandy Beach, whom was "my
Phil lesh' in Jordan and half transplants '85 and I reminisced about
Jordan Kratz opening for Plan Nine in Fall River...hey, you want
Kenne, you gotta go with "band-of-the-month" with me!
All in all, a "Real Cool Time", audio by Arthur
Freedman and video by Lenny Scoletta whom
invited us to malden local cable. And $56.25 to record with! ($225
at door....45 people $5.00 each?). In all, this gig was a "Good
Vibration" and watching everyone getting drawn in hypnotizing
for me: or vice versa!"....

"Til Tuesday 14 sept 21. Took a listen to a cd: Love
Songs Just For You by Count Joe Viglione.
recorded in 1985; Jimmy Miller (Stones/Traffic) produced and/or
arranged a couple tracks. I had this as a 1997 cassette VAR CS
007 (I THINK that's what my chicken scratch says!). Known as "The
gay Album", my big quote was: "MAKES TRANSFORMER SOUND
BUTCH!". A lot of tender piano ballads; this aint Tom Robinson!
Hunky Dory-type ballads (that would be the glam-rock Jones bloke
with Yorkshire ancestry) but also a LOT of Transformer-era Lou
piano ballads ala "Perfect Day" or my new quote: "Satelite
of Love' on steroids! 'we're coming out....out of our closets"...you
get my drift. I really DO enjoy this record "sober"
as I much as I did DRUNK! Surprise hit: "He called me Joseph"!
(again, drunk during the Monica Lewinksy days so I was kinda more
into the rockers, like the T. rex-y "I want you sexually").
Bowie/Bolan and Lou: "My head's in.....'72!""....

"day of Thor 16 sept 21. Oktoberfest at Bronwyn
union square Somerville (LIKE
them on facebook!) til 25 October 21. I even got to sit in
my heavy wood throne/seat! Dirndyls und leiderhosen abound, gut
essen UND der musik! WHY did I feel like I was hearing a brass
band play the "Highland's heroes' theme? Dad's mutti (whose
mutti wast ein Fischer) used to crank the old brass bands and
since oma was my seventh cuzzin, it's in the ole DNA! Unlike I'm
watching Werner Herzog films at the brattle, I'll be there! Couple
years ago was live oom-pa-pa/ oom-mow-mow but like the 2021 Greece
festivals,it's canned,not live music, but still gut musik fur
alles! Six generations out of Bavaria und Ich liebe! (jah jah
jah)".....

"Freitag 17 Sept 21. 7 pm Brattle Thee-ate-er,
hahvahd Square (Peg; remember the band Square Peg?). A Werner
Herzog fest begins! Aguirre, the Wrath of God.
I HAVE seen a lot of Herzog at brattle but there's ALWAYS new undercurrents
(like watching Fellini's La Dolce Nico "oh look! there's Nico";
das ist Christa Paffgen!). SO..Peru 1560 and Wikipedia tells you
the regions in Peru where movie is filmed (Machhu Picchu! And DO
eat there in Union Square Somerville, like on facebook)...Five years
previous mine and my cuzzin Linda's garreau's mutual Hubbard ancector
in England was burnt at stake at THE LAST Protestant martyr (had
a lotta tyme waitin' for that 69 bus last night...dead People facts!).
Climbin' down the mountains saw the Incas in the Spanish party with
push me-pull you pack animals. The noble lady in the sedan chair
in the Andes was ridiculous. AND seeing Spanish soldiers spreching
sie Deutsch (AND incas) when Klaus Kinski says,
subtitled, with the cannon, "Fire at anything du arschlocks!"...I
was, like I know that one! As J. Richman sings, Pablo Picasso NEVER
got called an arschlock! (Hey! Jon! try: Du ist scheiss outta lock/
Pablo Picasso never got called arschlock! Nobel prize winning lyrics....ask
ken Kaiser!). What a splendid movie. ok, as I lissen to West Virginny
college ball on WAJR 740 Am, Morgantown (The Village People was
once a half-time college ball half tyme act!): Thursday
14 Oct 21: mad painter, Union tavern Somerville mass. Friday
15 Oct 21. Kenne Highland air force 1130 pm pete's grille,quincy
mass. AND Mad painter in Sunderland, mass. The O's Music bar. maybe
we'll see Dino records there! So west virginia 24-7, dad's father's
second cousin, future Michigan coach Fielding Yost played for them
in 1890s. ok, Lydia, I'm hungry; "I need lunch"! AND check
homegurl doin' pere ubu "final solution"! versus Gizmos
in Cleveland version...hey covered by TWO people from ROCkchester!"....
