"Sonntag 20 December 21. 3-6 pm. Plough and Stars
Mass. Ave."Holiday (such a Holiday!) " show. It was
1985 Johnny's D Allston ("Dead Boston Clubs") reunion
for me! "Reagan Years" to the toon of "Golden Years".
I'm looking at the pictures I took coz "alta kaka rocka"
has "Partymers": I only remember PART of the tyme! ("The
Morning After"_ Count V!). I see Justine Covault
of Swank/malachite, Tom Baker, jay Allen (that
Archcriminal!) and "surprise surprise" (think I saw
the fast cover that Stones song at "dead boston club"
cantones); dave Harrison! (Voodoo Dolls et al).
jamming with him in my Buzz and the gang living room circa 1985
("Reagan years...bop bop bop") "this song here
shows my Elvis Costello influence". captain Easychord agrees!
There has "Never been Any reason" for Dave to NOT HEAD
EAST (1975 Bloomington Indiana!), a cover of lou's "Sunday
Morning" and check www.facebook.com/falsepostivesband
All Kindsa Jerks did a splendid cover of "I'm
always touched by your presence dear"; plastic Letters, second
album; "Death to Disco"! ("soon turnt out to be
a pain in the arsch"). Bomp List refugee Andrea Howlett
singing the Ravers "punk rock Christmas"! "I want
every Red on red record...(something) the boston groupie News!"
I shared a 1986 practice space with that Skeletone ("Reagan
years..oom bop bop bop")...Justine and Juanita, true Scene
Queens singing with Nat Freeberg of the Flies!
Then Nat solo, using a Telecaster and aping Jerry reed's "Amos
Moses"! Drop the Lord bendover schtick THIS is like when
I'd see Flies/ Turbines gigs at TT the bear's!
("Dead Boston Club' name Sonia's!). The whole Stop
callin' Me Frank gang ("Santa; I want every record
on Rumbar! " then green on red, best for last: BOSTON GROUPIE
NOISE! I mean Newz! "Berkeley Mews"!). AND to add "Compliment
to Injury", the next Mess Around is Sunday 16 jan
22, and since I and captain easychord are doing solo
sets, THIS MessAround sponsored by Boston Groupie News! (though
Blowfish might be aground on the South Shore; "call me Gizmael!"
or Russ/Ron Mael! "something for the Gizmo with everything!";
a Sparks 45 bought off of Gregory Prevost, House of Guitars 2
apr 75). This whole afternoon ALMOST as much fun as hearing Real
Kids "all kindsa girls' at Bronwyn as I ate my Kraut breakfast!
(since my y-DNA is five per cent Ireland, captain and I ate at
the Druid; My Children were Fair and wore Flowers in their long,
beautiful hair!".....
