Howdy firepups. What did I miss?

Oh TexBetsy,

Stevie!

Hey tex!

hey neuro
hey christine e

hey pups… what’s shaking?

Thank you Suzanne.

I hate the media.

hey LS – you are welcome but what did i do?

Hi Suz and pups :-)

EPU’ed: OT, and I can’t find a link just yet — just heard on the late local news (delayed because of the NCAA tournament) that Al Wynn will be leaving office in June…special election in MD-4.

You and I both! 8-(

Hey Chris and Tex!
I like this song.

Great toob, Suz! New to me.

Hi LL and everyone!

The dems are happy with Wynn leaving early so Donna Edwards can get some experience before the general election. She becomes the incumbant. Whoo Hoo!!

I’d seen it, but, I didn’t see a date for the special election…! Aloha, LL!

Hey Margot!

There is no lead story… Iraq is not in crisis.

Traitors,

Aloha CT, Margot, Chris, Loo Hoo, and, uh, everyone else :-)

Steve Winwood’s memorable Dear Mr. Fantasy

Impeccable – as always……….thank you.

Suz, I love Stevie Winwood! Thanks.

I’m a Winwood fan too. Glad to find out so many of the pups are also (exhaling)

yanno, i always do wonder what the reaction is gonna be to the music video i select.

??? Hell if I know, what did I write..certainly nothing to do with you..I hope…???

Bush’s goons fly into Pakistan to insult the not even seated new government.

LS and CTuttle, don’t know why you hate the press:

As federal officials scrambled to avert the much-feared “second wave” of attacks, reporters likewise scrambled to follow any hint of the next possible attack and to put it on the front page—from scuba divers off the coast of Southern California to hazmat trucks in the Midwest and tourist helicopters in New York City. One example of the shift: On Sept. 12, 2001, another major newspaper was set to run a story on the extraordinary diplomatic maneuverings the U.S. Secret Service had arranged with their Mexican counterparts to allow Jenna Bush, then 19, to make a barhopping trip south of the border. (She had just been charged with underage drinking in Texas.)

Whoops, wrong reply to, eh? ;-)

I know that it is late, but HI!

It’s not even April.

Oh, I don’t know.

No intiendo.

Play me a tune! Sometimes you make me feel happy… like tonight.

yanno, i always do wonder what the reaction is gonna be to the music video i select.

We’re an eclectic bunch, Suz!

Chris :-) It is very late! Heading to sleep shortly, but always glad to see you. Work is crazy lately, hardly any time to catch up here.

how about this for perk ya up music?

you have never steered us wrong, imo…

I agree! Just play me a tune.

Has he always played guitar also, or is that new?

Everytime I see Salma Hayek with next-to-no-clothes on, I think of the line from Dogma, that it doesn’t take talent to get a bunch of horny retards to part with their money, then she does that Home Alone imitation.

Offenbach near Bankfurt?

Just home from qork. Showed one of my classes a youtube of Nijinksy’s famous choreography of Debussy’s “Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun” at the conclusion of which in the original version, Nijinsky apparently jacked off on stage (1912). In the youtube I showed, the male dancer sort of does homage to the legend, but…

Class loved it, as we talked about differences between symbolism, impressionism and the sets on the youtube, which are somewhat art nouveau.

Frankfurt…! Yeppers!

Eric Clapton was born to play the blues – I wish that someone would just up and tell him that, ’cause his solo, self-written stuff is simplistic and monstrously boring.

When he plays the blues, however……..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4OXrmxDp44

Y’all are SO lucky that you can’t see me dancing………

Sorry Suz, I just saw your question.
I don’t know who does that song. I think it’s Jerry Garcia and assorted friends.

and they claimed jim morrison was a pervert and obscene instead of following in the footsteps of 1912’s trail blazing path

hey et – how’s alaska this spring?

I must say he was inspired when playing with the Dominos and with Duane!!
and tom Dowd was a master at mixing Layla.

okay, now please don’t hit me (or perpetrate other untoward violence on me) but back in the day Elton John released an albumn titled “11-17-70″ and it was recorded at WNEW in NYC. The intro was done by a famous old DJ named Dave Herman, and I did love that albumn. One of the great songs was “Take me to the Pilot”, there were others… actually the whole albumn was pretty damn good. And it was live. Wish it was out on the tubes…

Particularly when he teams up with another blues legend…

Old & In the Way

Old & In the Way by Clements, Vassar, Grisman, David, Rowan, Peter, and Garcia, Jerry (Audio CD – Jan 30, 1996)

I lived in that round hotel tower at the traffic circle for a couple of weeks testing the MP Bt. at BankFurt. the 716th or 719th. Can’t remember.

His live rock shows in the 70’s were truly inspired, even though his rock albums were equally uninspired.
Cow Palace, New Years Eve, ‘78 or ‘79 – nearly unmatched rock shows.

ha…

Dang. I didn’t realize how old those guys were on the old Creme songs. Great music, folks!

i like early elton…. and i admit having some disco tunes i enjoy too

have you heard his blueberry hill cover on the fats domino tribute cd?

Jim Morrison a Pervert? With music like this? Fuck no. The perversion is war, not the Lizard King.

thanks margot.. i’ll keep my eyes out for it

Got up to 92 F in my greenhoue yesterday. I wasn’t here to see how hot it got today, but the arugula is growing incredibly fast. This may be the first year we’ll have fresh greens in mid-April.

Ms. ET and I will be in the Sacramento area the last weekend in May, watching ETette competing in the Division 2 National Crew championship. Her team has won the last two, and she’s ready for #3! We’d love to meet some central CA firepups over the next few days after the races.

the last weekend in may is the wedding :( i’m all booked up from thursday until monday :( :(

I met a kid back in ‘77 who saw him at ASU? right after Ocean Blvd. came out. The aud. was almost empty when ec comw out on stage and he said “fuck it, let’s play the old stuff” and the few heard one hella show!

BAGHDAD (Reuters) – Iraqi lawmakers will hold an emergency session on Friday in an attempt to end violence in the oil city of Basra after an army crackdown on Shi’ite militia sparked fighting across the south and mass protests in Baghdad.

Authorities have imposed a three-day curfew in the capital to contain the violence, in which more than 130 people have been killed since the government launched the offensive on Tuesday against fighters loyal to Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.

Disco? ssssshhhh… don’t tell anyone. After all, how were we supposed to enjoy our Saturday Night Fevers in the 70’s? 8-)

Hehehe, now that’s some over-the-top video…

you can tell by the way i walk

Hmmm… I only visited Offenbach to see Peter Gabriel in concert, not really familiar with the environs… I was in FRG from ‘86 to early ‘89…!

From BBC News World Service:

Baghdad under curfew amid clashes

A curfew has been imposed on Baghdad amid continuing clashes between Shia militias and Iraqi security forces.

The curfew will last from 2300 (2000 GMT) on Thursday until 0500 on Sunday to “protect civilians”, officials say.

More than 130 people have died since a clampdown on Shia militias in the southern city of Basra started on Tuesday. Unrest has spread to Baghdad.

Earlier US President George W Bush praised Iraqi PM Nouri Maliki’s decision to order the crackdown.

Heavy fighting between the Shia Mehdi Army, led by radical Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr, has continued in Basra for a third day, with violence in other parts of southern Iraq.

Late on Thursday, Sadr called for a political solution to the crisis.

In a statement relayed by his aide Hazem al-Aaraji, he said he wants “everyone to pursue political solutions and peaceful protests and a stop to the shedding of Iraqi blood”.

Mr Maliki earlier vowed that he would continue the fight against the militias for as long as was necessary.

“We have made up our minds to enter this battle and we will continue until the end. No retreat,” Mr Maliki said in a speech broadcast on Iraqi state television.

Low Rider is an absolute classic, along with Walking Spanish Down the Hall.

Colombia offers Farc hostage deal

Colombia has offered to release jailed Farc rebels if they first hand over former presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt and other hostages.

Peace Commissioner Luis Carlos Restrepo said that if some captives were liberated, it could begin the process of exchanging rebels for hostages.

The offer, backed by President Alvaro Uribe, follows growing concern for the health of Ms Betancourt.

Ms Betancourt, a French-Colombian citizen, is said to be seriously ill.

Ms Betancourt is the most high-profile of the scores of hostages held by Farc in the jungle. She was abducted during the presidential campaign in 2002.

She was pictured in recent video, looking thin and frail.

There has been an international campaign for her release, with the presidents of France and Venezuela among those calling for her release.

The Bush Admin has been absolutely quiet about all this…implicit also in its backing of Uribe of Colombia…

grace was so forking stoned at that show….

BA cancels 34 flights from new T5
Flight information board at Heathrow Terminal 5
The airline apologised for the disruption caused
British Airways has cancelled 34 more flights from Heathrow’s Terminal 5 the day after it opened but says passengers will be able to check in hold luggage.

Hold luggage services were suspended as a result of a baggage backlog and 34 flights were cancelled at the £4.3bn T5 on its first day of operation.

Some stranded travellers spent the night on the floor of the new building.

BA, which has sole use of T5, said: “We sincerely apologise to those customers who have suffered disrupted journeys.”

Chief executive Willie Walsh said: “I am very sorry that the problems have meant that some of our customers did not experience the true potential of this amazing new building.

The airline advised customers to check its website, http://www.ba.com, for service updates.

If you’d have heard how many times those Wyoming shit-kickers played that song in the jukebox it would have been all you could do to keep from crying. :-) But I still love it. I think RWH (among others) covered it.

Iraq MPs plan emergency session
Mehdi Army militiamen in Basra. Photo: 27 March 08
Mehdi Army fighters remain in control is areas of Basra
Iraq’s parliament is due to hold an emergency session to try to end fighting between Shia militias and Iraqi security forces.

It comes a day after a three-day curfew was imposed in Baghdad following attacks on the city’s Green Zone, where the government and embassies are based.

Iraq’s army is continuing its offensive in Basra.

More than 130 people have died in the southern city since a clampdown on Shia militias began there on Tuesday.

On Thursday, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki vowed that he would continue the fight against the militias for as long as was necessary.

“We have made up our minds to enter this battle and we will continue until the end. No retreat,” Mr Maliki said in a speech broadcast on Iraqi state television.

The prime minister has personally overseen the operation in Basra, which involves some 30,000 troops and police fighting the Shia Mehdi Army, led by radical cleric Moqtada Sadr.

But Mehdi Army fighters remain in control of some densely-populated areas.

Late on Thursday, Sadr called for a political solution to the crisis.

A local boy, for you Suz!

“Used to be a practicing heterosexual and now I’m a consultant!”… haha brilliant!

i think he is la ct

You have about 9-10 years on me…!

suz, my BiL was almost famous. the band he was in from spirit lake, iowa won a battle of the bands in ‘68 and were on the Paul Revere and the Raiders show. YEEHAW!!

thanks

just a whippersnapper, eh?

Coulda sworn he was a Bakersfield/Fresno product!

i remember those guys – and those crazy outfits that were all the rage back in the days of the british invastion

Biodun…I thought you had thrown us over for Hong Kong…did ya have a lightbulb moment?

Dangit Biodun! Didn’t you get the memo? The surge is a success, the civil war is over.

Nothing to see there….

Okay, campiest music video on UTube… funny! But a good song, in fact a hit!

that’s where buck owens had his place – dwight would play there a lot but his ranch was in the la area.. i’m remembering something about his place burning during one of the big wildfires several years ago and that he almost was caught by the fire trying to get his horses out

in retrospect, waasn’t that pathetic?

what was pathetic is remembering the entire pe class ‘doing the freddy’

Spirit Lake? Wow. I put up the sheet rock in the Star Drug in ‘74. Danced at the Mogambo Club on Okiboji, and met a wonderful girl dancing to Brandi by Looking Glass.

i’m a small-town iowa boy, i don’t even know what the freddy is/was.:)

Speaking of them, and there… ;-)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVSeKnTzg6U

NO SHIT?

do the freddy

I poured concrete for eight days nostop east of S.L at a grain elevator and got wasted everywhere in Okiboji.

sigh… this song is always associated with my driving down I5 through the central valley down to the la basin

Yeah, no shit. Had a great summer, well part of it then I went to Wyoming to work for the rest of the summer for a geological firm, mapping sheep shit and rocks. Dated that girl for a few years.

actually that was in ‘73. faulty memory the result of all that getting wasted.:(

last time i was in that area all those great joints had been bulldozed and the Park was gone too.

Wasted?

Oh I hope that’s right…

Oh fine, thanks Suz, now I’m doing the Freddie… well, in my brain.

exactly…

Yesssss…. thanks for that pure bit of joy!

My misspent youth… oh well, when I turn 65 I’ll make up for wasted time.

Edward Teller, couldn’t be more impressed by your Ballets Russes exposure to your students. Dance and film critics soundly panned the late Herbet Ross’s NIJINSKY! feature film – primarily because the late director Ross allowed some creative license during editing and didn’t adhere to a chronological time frame when recreating Nijinsky ballets in his epic portrayal of the immortal Russian dancer/choregrapher.

I served as curator of performance paintings of Nijinsky for the Stowitts Museum on the Monterey Peninsula, including his revolutionary Faun role. Here is a linky to a sampling, including Nijinsky in the final poetic moment as the Faun. http://www.stowitts.org/nd%20main.html

Okay, now here’s where we get to the “hard core” folks. Who was a Grand Funk fan? C’mon you can admit it… I used to sit behind my drum kit every day and try and get Don Brewer’s licks down… These guys were selling out stadiums when they were like 19.

jay, i have been sleeping in shifts for 2 days now. had a showing after 3 hours of sleep this morning and one afer 4 yesterday morning. those forking afernoon naps have been forking flipped again – night is day and day is night i fear. i blame it on all the years spent working nights at the pd.

Yeah, I wanted to go, but could not get anyone to take me. Parent, not Beatles fans.

Were you a KYA or KFRC listener? Chris Edwards and Tom Campbell (KYA)… used to play Zappa. Now how cool was that?

Now KYA is like a wingnut talkradio isn’t it?

drums

used to blast this when i was ticked off at my parents. it was guaranteed to get a ‘turn that down now’ out of them.

ohmystars! emperor gene nelson. hey thar kemosabe. used to listen to them and the whole crew.

sweet sweet video jayt…

night is day and day is night …

yeah – I’m there.

Only stayed awake today because I was expecting some totally pissed-off phone calls from Da Judge, or Da Prosecutor.

Didn’t happen, either of them. Probably will tomorrow – at which point I plan to be soundly asleep. Fuck ‘em.

errr… sleep deprivation? LOL!!! Linky wrong, but the Crue is awesome too CT…

thanks – it’s what I’m known for.

Well that, and never-ending inanities during live-blogs….*g*

It’s what I do………..

you will get a late friday afternoon call that you will not be able to respond to until monday morning

Iron Butterfly rocked!

you will get a late friday afternoon call that you will not be able to respond to until monday morning…

So?!!?

Here’s some of the teeny-tiny Zappa on You Tube, Peaches en Regalia with Terry Bozzio on drums. Man, he had a hot sister and she could sing too (Missing Persons).

they sure did ct. my dad’s jaw would start to clench when he heard those opening notes

they will have all weekend to really get good and mad, jayt

Hey, this is the longest I think I have been commenting on FDL in a while. Too much fun! Thanks Suz, you’re my heroine!!!

didn’t frank win a grammy for the album “hot rats”?

i found this one but its not live :(

glad you have been enjoying yourself, jofish

Inagaddavida reminded me of this classic…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqZmtq5LhFo

i saw frank at the fieldhouse at the UofI in ‘78. learned later that everything frank and the band did was choreographed down to the last detail. amazing!

sweet. thanks ct

with bad intent…

Holy shitskys… check this out. John Lennon, Yoko, and Frank & The Mothers at the Fillmore East in 1971. This must have been the same night that Zappa recorded the Live at the Fillmore East album (a classic with Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan aka “the Turtles”)

Yes, Yoko is screeching.

But other than that, how cool someone got this on film.

Suz has a reputation for being fun to hang out with…..

I probably oughta re-phrase that one, huh?

its amazing what they have on them there you tubes, jofish.

its ok, jayt. i let everyone slide with that fair and balanced bit last night

she ain’t on the force anymore:)

Yeah, I think so. He was an amazing musician who did a lot of pioneering work.

Okay so explain this to me… are they all connected together or how does this work? LOL :>)

iirc it was for best jazz album.

Who would say such a thing…? *g*

would be cool if they had one of them amazon ‘if you liked this you might like’ deals … of course, if they did, i would get totally lost and never come out.

No Ma’am.

Are we there yet?

*laughing* perfect response jayt

Bestill my heart.. Georget T and the Delaware Destroyers. One Bourbon One Scotch and One Beer anyone? Awesome find, Suz…

I’m sending Mad Pete Trullo after you for that… :)

saw them about 5 years ago when they were touring with bb king on his blues festival. fabulous thunderbirds opened, then georgie and the boys followed by bb. awesome forking night.

star wars – blues brothers style

Oh My! the Sadly’s have taken Jeralyn to task. Oh No!

Love it!

One Bourbon One Scotch and One Beer anyone?

‘Ere ya go……..

that band got a lot better when the finally took my advice and added a sax.

sing sing sing

My favorite radio station out of ontario played that song ALL the time. *grin* it was a mix of modern alternative and lotsa blues and classic rock. They still do that now, which is why i tune into it when i visit my parent’s house. That little canadian radio station is better than most anything in michigan i’ve heard in years. XD

are ya saying that things go better with sax? or that sax makes things better?

Wow… Bradrocket is after Jeralyn bigtime.

I’m an Obama guy, but you don’t see me citing Andrew Sullivan to make my points, do you?

This is not a good thing…

d’s need to be saving their going after for the r’s and not other d’s.

Yup… this crap is getting so old.

yeap – no insult intended towards those who have not had a vote yet but can the never ending primary puh-leeze be over

are ya saying that things go better with sax? or that sax makes things better?

I’m not sure that I remember…….*g*

d’accord

either

Primary Season? The Ramones.

white punks on dope

Suz:

…hope your daughter has a nice wedding…

Hong Kong has been glorious so far…it’s 4:38 PM Friday right now…in the 70s all day…

alto on the puns, please.

saw the tubes a couple years back down at the brookdale lodge… whatta hoot that concert was – twas a costume party in a haunted hotel

tenor your tone (laughing)

attaturk is upstairs.. thanks for hanging with me tonight pups

whoops, that pun was for jofish and jayt

How about some other 70’s rock? Heart… saw them open in 76 for Fleetwood Mac in San Diego. Better than FM (well in my opinion that night)…

>no insult intended towards those who have not had a vote yet…..

HEY – I’ve never cast a meaningful ballot for the Presidency of The Unites States in my entire life. (course since I’m only, ummmm, 28, that may not seem like much)

On May 6, I get the chance to do just that – for the first time in my adult life, I have the opportunity to actually have a bit of a say as to who’s gonna be running this place.

I’m pretty damned happy about that (primary isn’t until May 6), but for the first, and almost certainly last time, I get to cast a vote which matters.

You deserting my all-nighter? Damn…

Have to ask you the musical question… ha ha ha… your thoughts?

saw fleetwood mac 6 weeks after my total knee relacement surgery. doc told me there was no way in hell i would be able to attend and to sell the tickets.

no forking way. i was there with icepacks, crutches, and jen was my designated driver (due to the heavy meds i was still on).

and yes, that is it for me tonight, folks. catch ya tomorrow night, when ES has late late nite, and then I’ve got a great cartoon for ya Saturday nite.

see ya then.

Nite, Suz…
And once again, thanks for staying up with me.

And it’s probably worth noting that this thread got between 350-400 comments.

Damn girl – nobody likes you, huh? *g*

Just made a fresh pot of coffee – but when I do go to sleep, it’ll most likely be a different month when I wake up.

Nite Suz, thanx for the pah-tay! See ya soon!!!

Suzanne, this is a rockin’ thread
Bookmarked!

Ditto… I snuck to bed early and missed all the fun… but it is bookmarked for future use:>)
