Tuesday, October 12, 2021 "Sonntag 10 Oct 12. Goethe Institut presents Deutsch Kino at Collidge Corner theatre monthly! (again!). 130 pm The German Lesson, SEVEN DOLLARS (for an import!). takes place in northern most point of Deutschland during Second war and even mentions Flensburg! Moin! The film fraulein von der Goethe said das buch came out 1968 ala gunter Grass Tin Drum where THAT post-1945 Deutsch Populi questioned what their parents did during the War. the premise is Berlin DEMANDS a painter quit painting (and it COULD happen here! with the arts, Garfunkel) but der poletezei's son helps the painter paint in secret and (shudder!) the daughter poses butt nekkid for the painter and it hits der newz (das ist nicht gut!). A lot of great shots of the North Sea; I have a Saxon DNA with a chap from Belize, whom says R-U-198 haplogroup had it's origins in Doggerland! (the Atlantis of the North Sea!)….cant wait til the sunday 14 Nov film and once that union Square MTA station opens, it's a clear shot to Coolidge Corner!".....

Wednesday, October 13, 2021 "Til Tuesday 12 October 21. Seven dollar movie tickets each Dienstag at Kendall Square cinema. Fever dream (trailer on youtube) at 715 pm. I was attracted coz how often you see a Chilean horror film? I slept through first half but second half DID get chills. Two mothers with children meet in rural Chile which kinda resembled southern Virginny. One son is (my words) "demonically pecular"; think Demon Seed or me and "winner by elimination" watching Omen Two after I graduated parris island boot camp in '76, Private highland, KE USMC! 16 year old gurlfriend, a granny now). lotsa write-ups on what I didn't 'get" (no coffee at Kendall= sleepy Kenne!). There's some kinda agricultural spray that makes the "children of the corn" 'strange"; a gang of 'em pass by a car and "is ANYONE in this town normal?" wasn't that children of the damned? A 1968 Nina Simone toon coming out of a car radio and during credits is a bonus. overall rating; gonna check out more Chilean movies!"...

John Keegan (sax/BGN/photos) TAPED me and schmel herbie hind on giz-tars, Captain Easychord (birthday boy Sunday last) on keyboards, Lt Larry Newman USMC, bass and Al Hendry drums. Larry: "This sounds like an iggy bootleg! This sounds like Kill City!".

BUT the "famous last words' ist von Schmel herbie Hind: "If der fraulein ist nicht zaftig, Ich ist nicht interested"; "walk away" by the James gang as "we left in two separate cars" and Melrose was treated to "Tricked Again' BLASTING!

Tory Clay

"day of Thor 14 Oct 21. Union tavern. Einer transfrau Tory Clay was playing solo electric. She IS on line and WILL be playing Jacques; her being part of the deaf community, like Klein and Eisen of Kiss, I had to unmask so, like my cuzzin George Bush, she could read my lips about Jacques. Like frank Zappa, I was enamored by a Shaggs-like version of Kinks "Lola"; Jacques upstairs! The closest das ist Weimar republic Cabaret! Captain easychord did a short set with Schmel herbie Hind on guitar and Al Hendry on drums then I sang "Trickfugged" and "dead Boston clubs" (danke Brian Jung fur der airplay WMFO!) (listen to Jung und read das buch ub Karl Jung!). I turnt around and Alex Gitlin had joined in on HIS bass! I can see THAT Gliding into the Scalawags (he was THAT good!). Finally, after this musical chairs I was on bass and Alex Gitlin on keyboards, Schmel-guitar, Al-drums; der fraulein sangers MIA (aint she a rapper yo?) A TWO hour set of Heep-ishly Purple "Higher Ground" Mott music (I also riffed on "ready for love" during a ballad) BUT, because of the MENTALNESS of mit der "Mak Show!" ub der Beatles von Hamburg, we had Girls Gone Wild drinkin' SHOTS (there was no cover too, so we had some folks there!) requesting Fleetwood mac/Allman Brothers....finally we turnt into Scary-oke and let one drunken "Babe in the Bar" sing "American Woman" from her phone; I riffed on "hey bulldog',DANKE Jean Millington fur der skool! Captain easychord (Future/Now BGN writer/photo) had to bail her out; nuthin' like a Government Mule bailout! These ladies wuz DANCIN' to Alex's songs, so like Hubert Humphrey, I was "pleased as punch" (I never did speed with Tommy James and I only played "hanky panky' with John Macey at cantone's '78 BUT that flan dessert at macchu Picchu!). Lastly, our "dancin' Queen" proclaimed her liebe fur der Hieland and it wuz PAINTERMANIA! Sadly, mein schatzche, Ich ist ein Alta kaka Rocka; old enuff to be your zeite! The Men don't Ken but der kleiner fraulein understand! A "Real Cool Time' had by all with me getting back 0100 to listen to coast to coast (mit der Schmel; coast to Coast or der zaftlig Frau?). Lastly, an Exploding Pigeon gave me a picture of me, ken franken, Live at cantone's 13 march 82, Hopelessly Obscure with the Accidents scanned For your pleasure! (Dead People fact; YES! My great-great-grandmother Highland has an Eno ancestor1 escaped france ended up Threadneedle street and ''ow's your Byrd's lumbago?") BOLLOCKS TO THE WELLINGTONS!!!!"......
