Rush “Free Will”

Reese and Joaquin doing Bob Dylan’s “It Ain’t Me Babe” a song covered by Johnny Cash and June Carter back in the day.

DeeDee Ramone and his band with the Punk GOD himself G.G.Allin doing “Bite It You Scum”?

It’s fitting that DeeDee would have G.G. as a guest voice. And do a G.G. song.

2 dead punks who died like rock stars.  May they both jam eternally in the heaven they brought us.

I personally dedicate this to John McSameoldbushit.

From 1/11/91 at the Tin Pan Alley Studios in NYC.

Here are the lyrics for those of you who can’t understand hardcore.

you want me to kiss your ass
well bent over buddy here comes my foot
i don’t need your cry ass shit
tempers rising take a fit

bite it you scum
bite it you scum
bite it you scum, here i come
bite it you scum

well you want me to contribute
all i got is blood for you
all you want is more and more
gluttony, you pig, you whore

bite it you scum, here i come
bite it you scum,
bite it you scum, oh yum
bite it you scum

one day when your end is near
ill be laughing at your fear
when your gone there will be none
who’ll be fucking up my fun, no one

bite it you scum
bite it you scum, here i come
bite it you scum, i’m never gonna run
bite it you scum
bite it you scum
bite it you scum
bite it you scum, here i come
bite it you scum
bite it you scum
bite it, bite it, bite it, bite, (a couple of times)
bite it you scumfucking sucking whore

Dallas County officials spar over ‘black hole’ comment

Kevin Krause
Dallas Morning News

A special meeting about Dallas County traffic tickets turned tense and bizarre this afternoon.

County commissioners were discussing problems with the central collections office that is used to process traffic ticket payments and handle other paperwork normally done by the JP Courts.

Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed that central collections “has become a black hole” because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office.

Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud “Excuse me!” He then corrected his colleague, saying the office has become a “white hole.”

That prompted Judge Thomas Jones, who is black, to demand an apology from Mayfield for his racially insensitive analogy.

Mayfield shot back that it was a figure of speech and a science term. A black hole, according to Webster’s, is perhaps “the invisible remains of a collapsed star, with an intense gravitational field from which neither light nor matter can escape.”

Other county officials quickly interceded to break it up and get the meeting back on track. TV news cameras were rolling, after all.

The story was funny. I had to share it. I also had to share this Peter Frampton version of Soundgarden’s Black Hole Sun.

Never thought I’d ever get the chance to tip the space helmet to Master Tomberry.

I am still trying to edit pics of the festival.

I’m Confused and sluggish.

The mirrors all busted and somebody’s crying….

Must have been the “Pills I Took”.

Black Sabbath from 1970 Live in Paris

The Grateful Dead’s not so Nationionalist Anthem. A message subtly sent to all of the flag waving blind patriots out there that hide behind the colors of the flag and swear it’s all good.

Better change your act….we’re all confused…

Bowie believed and accepted enough to write and sing about it.

From last years festival in Roswell, footage of Element 115’s show at the Wool Bowl.

Cool that it is just walking distance from the house. I will get to see the show again this week. They are a fun bunch of folks.

Remember Melanie’s hit “Brand New Key? Back when I was a kid she sang this hit on every radio in town.

The Dollyrots do a great version in a very different style. Or is it that different. You tell me.

Every now and then I fall apart.

“Total Eclipse Of The Heart”

Today has been filled with those pre-surgery jitters and other weirdnesses that come with getting ready for a hospital stay.  I am kinda scared. This is my spine they are going to be cutting into and the percentage of success is about 60%. While the chance of paralysis is there it is less than the chance if the procedure isn’t done. So naturally I am terrified.

I will be absent for at least 2 days and mayhap longer.

But, as usual I have been doing the familiar. Puttering around the house with music blaring. Today it has had a great deal of Grateful Dead mixed in. Comfortable with the tunes I relax more when Jerry is singing in that cracked, raspy voice he had. Kinda makes me feel that everything will turn out ok in the end.

I was in Monterrey when the band filmed this video. It was a series of daytime shows and the first day every one was wondering why the elaborate light show array was set up. That night, about the time the Monterrey Bay fog was rolling in over the hills surrounding the Laguna Seca Raceway some hippies came around the campground announcing a free show. We went back into the music arena and were treated to the filming of this video. It took multiple nights to film it and the campground scene called us back but I was there in that crowd for quite a while 2 nights running.

It kinda describes how I am feeling right now.  A little blue, a little weird and”A Touch Of Grey”.

I will survive.

See ya in a few.
