Listener comments!
6:05am : I feel ready. Dark and chilly this morning, here in Jersey City. Where, or when, can we find you?6:06am : Afternoon Frank and listeners. Sun is up and the tempature is going down. Fresh. I guess when it goes down here it dawns in NJ.6:10am : Aand its the time of the year again when changing the summertyres to winter ones.6:14am : good afternoon (?), Mauri, and the short pants and shirts will become long...6:25am : Good Morning, yes winter's coming;Let us hope she or "it" is a little better (alot actually) to NJ and the east coast this year...huh?.;Nice wakeup music here (as usual) Mr. O'Toole.6:30am : keep those positive vibes comin', Sean.6:31am : Good morning!
Sunny but chilly (as well) in Germany!
(@work, 0:30 pm)6:34am : Grüße Guido ;)6:36am : Sun and sometimes rain (I would say variable) in Rome, Italy. 13.7°C (57°F). Way colder than yesterday.6:37am : 5°C cloudy and rainy here in dresden
good morning all together6:39am : zeer, Guido, ilTofa: welcome to our new day. Thanks.6:42am : Grüße an alle in der Welt!
by the way: This is a special holiday in Cologne.
11th of the 11th at 11:11 am is when the half of the inner city starts getting drunk.6:42am : ...lordy - it were raw out yesterday here inNewHampshuh - don't mind rain so much in the Summer - but wet & cold & windy...@ that rate actually think snow would be better - & that's *me* saying that
...Looking forward to the 1st Slush - it's always the most beautiful...6:42am : Hiya, Frank, good morning to you and all. 4C, overcast and winds at 50km/h from the west here in Nova Scotia. Remembrance Day weather, right on schedule.6:45am : - yeah - Veterans'/Armistice Day another one comes under ♏Scorpio
...virtual poppies for the fallen brothers & sisters
❦✟❦6:47am : Guido, I like your thinkin'. A lot of us remember Armistice Day, right Sem & RevRab?6:51am : i'm sure Guido meant the start of that event: en.wikipedia.org...6:52am : In Germany hardly anyone knows about Armistice Day.
Here in Cologne 11th of November is taken as the start of so-called 'karnevals-Session".
zeer - you've got it!6:53am : - w/ the Jimi overtones
- I'll report the new American Masters episode on Hendrix is not a disaster :
www.pbs.org...
- if perhaps not as deep as the very good Lou Reed one many of us have seen recently
...being two hours, it doesn't touch on his relation to Jazz, for instance
- but interviews people who actually knew him - so gets it straight (for a change) & creates a very good portrait of him
...if these episodes seem to zip thru things very quickly (& I got that impression from the very good Doors one - 'When You're Strange') - then it also makes one realize that that was how the trip was, & that is pertinent - just a few quick crazy years in the late 60s...6:54am : You bet, Frank. Guido's got the plan correct. Here, many vets get to the cenotaph for the service of remembrance at 11, and then it's toasts to fallen comrades the rest of the day, and all the war stories told one more time.6:55am : G'morning FXO, sun's coming up here in Livingston...6:56am : Maybe some kind of 'abusal' of the rememberance day.6:56am : I know that, but the day was to be the end of all wars, on the 11th hour, of the 11th day. Just sayin'. Let's celebrate carnival, as well...6:58am : They even abuse a lot of irish folk music in order to compose horrible Schlagermusik out of it.
Interesting point Fank.
I'm learning ...6:58am : - I am reminded of the Barbara Ehrenreich book 'Dancing in the Streets' about 'Festival' - it's meaning & history in different cultures. Every Music fan should read it.
...I always think that those people who died & served - there is nothing they would have wanted more - would have dreamt of & idealized - than to have been in a celebratory mode - & to have that aspect of society continue - so enjoy deeply...6:59am : mornin' 'stroso. Here, I sit, the sun's crackin' through.7:00am : Actually a lot of our tradtional carnival-stuff is military-persiflage originally.
It just became a bit stuffy.7:03am : Kickin' version of After Midnight, fxo. Thanks for that.7:03am : @RRN63 Jimi handled the stress of the horror of the truly inconceivably manipulative and greedy goons controlling him very well;He could have produced much less music and been more angry than productive;His spirit was a strong one and a unique form of beauty that is consistant and not malleable by any other. Just a thought.
That Janet w/Jimi remix was really fun...7:06am : - yeah - I ask a lot from a Jimi doc. - but they did express his character well in this, I think.7:07am : Show biz is no good for musicans and creaticvity.
Quite a few were happy to escape.
... if I read about the manager-egos in those times.
... and ridiculous touring-shedules as fas as i remember laments fromNoel Redding.7:09am : I have to see that...@RRN63=Today!, thanks for the info on that man!.7:10am : - it's hard to remember a time when Rock Tours were still being pioneered; indeed, the Experience's itinerary was a relentless spiderweb - criss-crossing every which way w/out consideration for the map. A bunch of 20somethings in the late 60s - pushing everything to the limit...7:12am : Plus heavy partying aftershows.
That made Kevyn Ayers get into serious crisis as far as I remeber.7:13am : ...& people like Jimi & Lou - as titanic as they are to us Artistically - the Mainstream culture has problems w/ them - *to this day* - & they had to claw their success out w/out it's help...7:15am : I liked the Hendrix doc. He worked very hard, previous to the Experience. Lots of work and learned craft. A "one of a time(r)". He was a true artiste.7:15am : Is Lee Ranaldo and The Dust worth getting live?
I allready missed club-show of Body/Head and now regret ist a bit.7:17am : Ranaldo & group, are on tour, as we speak. He played on Brian Turner's FMU show, recently.7:22am : - really Frank - ?! I must have blinked & missed that on BT's...7:22am : @Guido & RRN63 I was just thinking that, alot of people dont realise today what these people were doing to their bodies to keep up with these "Inhuman" expectations=Relating to performing WELL under conditions of Jet-Lag, and countless other demanding factors.Alot of great musicians just couldn't keep up.
Keith Moon=prime example.
The Who-Live 1970 Tanglewood,MA is a great exanple of a band in such a state smashing ALL the walls down after a rediculous stretch of shows.
*LONG LIVE ROCK* Brothers & Sisters.
This Lee Renaldo cut is wonderful.
ahhhm yes.7:23am : Good tip Frank.
i'll try to check it.
They'll play in Cologne on Wednesday.7:24am : - in the doc. Michael Lang the promoter talks about Jimi playing Miami - a major Festival - after being dosed w/ STP. & doing it *well*, yeah...7:25am : Happy to hear this Melanie song. Thanks.7:26am : Well about Who:
Very much amphetamine-driven ...
Keith used tul gulp pills as it were candys.
Anyway, exhausting practices ... it is NOT the prfessional way.7:26am : his "debut" at Monterey was courtesy of Owsley.7:27am : The BEAR!.7:29am : - not AmericanMasters - but very good Wh♂ doc. 'Amazing Journey' (I watched on YouTube) - friend of a very young KeithMoon says he offered a *handful* of pills thinking he'd take a few of choice - & he gulped the whole thing - & went on & played. The Keith Moon stories *we'll* never know...7:33am : - but Judy Garland was pilled up too - 'the Show Must Go On'...7:33am : I finally posted my profile on my high school website ('76) I didn't want to sound too boastful, this is what I put:
"I’m the quiet drifter you might read about in the papers that finally snapped one day and hung his roommates cat behind the clothes dryer" What'ya think? Too braggy?7:33am : - oh man! Bill Hicks !!7:34am : early Beatles were on pills as well.
That's how they survived in Hamburg.7:34am : - be nice to kitties ! : )7:35am : Lennon: '- & that's stronger drugs than pot!'7:36am : Moon was not to be on the earth, with his intake.
Don't forget Oscar Levant (inside joke).
Manners: too heavy with our room. You were way too advanced, by the kids.7:36am : ...all that early Beatles is quick & emphatic like speed...7:37am : I never understood how people could be creative at all tripped out.LOL...;When I experimented with the stuff in High School years I could do nothing but stare at the walls melting or something; or just sit and laugh,LOL...(in hindsight).I would pick up my guitar and try to play and just lay it down and laugh at...Well everything! & WITH everything.
Hey at first that sounded like Paul Giamatti! or was that The Dark POET?7:38am : SeanB: David Crosby made that same point about Hendrix.7:40am : Memoirs of an Amnesiac, Frank. Loved that book. Oscar had his monkey, too.7:42am : ... nice dub-mix by the way ...7:43am : Oscar's were orchestrated by Gershwin.
Sem: good book?
Rev: as far as Crosby, he somehow made it through. Go figyah.7:44am : trippin' out and making music ...
... did not work even with psychedelic prophets like 13th Floor Elevators.
Even Jerry Garcia confessed the tripped out sessions weren't enjoyable at all.7:45am : Crosby sure took it to the limit - & it's not a pretty story, a lot of it.7:46am : Genes of a madman,Crosby ... I tell ya.LOL.
Having a great time FRANK, coffee is kicking in along to this 'building up' kinda soundtrack!.
Good people & GREAT music.7:47am : - his new liver serving him better than Lou's, apparently...7:47am : Frank: written in the late Fifties"tell-all-about-life-in-Hollywood" style, very witty, lots of well-worn celebrity gossip stories and a straight-forward account of Oscar's love of chloral hydrate, and that loves aftermath. Insights about music, also.7:49am : getting new liver and not stopping drinking / druggin' ...
... common problem ...7:51am : tell that to John Phillips, oh yeah, he didn't make it, either.7:52am : Om was the result when Coltrane took a bunch of jazz musicians into the studio and supposedly took LSD. It's a powerful piece of work, but if the LSD story is true, the drug didn't cause the music to be that different from Coltrane's other work at that time.7:55am : - George Harrison wrote that he took mushrooms in later years - to make sure he wasn't missing anything - & didn't like it a bit.7:56am : Well, as Ted Barron said, Lou lived a long life considering what he was doing for years & multiple years to his body. I did not know that he was still using,although;I was under the impression that he 'had it together' in his latter years.I was lucky to see him on his "New York" tour back in 92? i think.Really laid back, good show...my girlfiend at the time fell asleep.LOL7:56am : "The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom." Disordering the senses has always, it seems, been especially attractive to the creative mind. At one time I had a dozen feet in my bookcase devoted to drunk writers, don't know if drinking made the writing better. Brendan Behan once said "I am not a writer with a drinking problem, I am a drinker with a writing problem."7:59am : Soft Machine were all heavy drinkers and happy with the psychedelic crowd to enjoy the "scap" the were perfroming at UFO.8:01am : Patti Smith makes the point that Rimbaud's 'organized disorientation of the senses' was for the sake of the Work. ( - of course - *she's* a ♑Capricorn...) Lou made that point in 'Songs for Drella' - Warhol preached the working class ethic to him...like Lennon said the Message was 'Learn to Swim'...but I never became what I wanted to *if* I grew up...8:01am : If you want an interesting read about drugs try PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story by Alexander Shulgin.8:03am : Don't discount the value of nicotine on the history of art.8:03am : "Soft Machine"?, thinkin' bout Burroughs?
btw: I watched "On The Road' on cable. It didn't suck.
morning, Duke.8:03am : ! The sound ou this show !8:04am : duke: read a review or two, looks like a must-read. Thanks.8:09am : Maybe I'm wrong but it seems that alot of writers and musicians really 'open up' their mind with a ton of psychedelics and mary jane, pills & than all of a sudden the gates are open TOO MUCH for them to handle;So they have to try to close them a bit with ALCOHOL in the later part of thier lives.I dunno....What goes on?.
What...lol.8:11am : Aldous Huxley spelled it all out in 'Heaven & Hell' about Society & Consciousness & Drugs. In my middle age - I'm Homer Simpson - working schlepp - just wanna come home, get naked, drink, watch News - the complete reverse of my Youth. Look what happened to Garcia!8:11am : Gues you pretty much hit the spot Sean!8:13am : remember, Huxley's death will be 50 years ago, same day as JFK.8:13am : JelloBiafra: 'Take only the drugs recommended by your boss or supervisor!'...8:14am : Sean: A lot of the artists we hear about are the famous ones. The famous ones have enormous pressures. Most of all is the pressure to do your next creation better than your last one. It's a personal and cruel drive. Other pressures are more mundane but also stressful, travel, money, family, ect. It not your 8-to-5 with a cocktail before dinner.8:14am : Caffeine is my drug of choice this AM.8:15am : Caffeine A.M., Alchyhol P.M. You know it.8:16am : "Poor Gerry, don't you try Mary, She is a wandering Flame"=Poor Gerry-Stephen Malkmus8:17am : ... just consider average touring conditions and having to deliever the goods on stage, no matter how you feel.8:20am : A good performance is the best high but they can't all be winners so you start out buzzed and that becomes the habit, and when you do have a good performance then the drugs just get in the way.8:21am : Good morning/afternoon Frank and listeners. A welcome day off today, so I'll abuse caffeine less than usual8:21am : Guys, you ever read "Living With The Dead" by "Rock Skully" ?;A VERY personal account of Mr. Garcia's Nicotine & Cocaine habit;Among many other completely hilarious accounts of Dead madness on countless tours. A Great Read!.8:22am : ...so glad I never got into putting powders up my nose...8:24am : Rock Scully's book has a lot of truths in it.
hello, Fred, lay back and dream, you deserve it.8:24am : I love Mazzy Star, wanted to see them but tickets are like $175 a pop!.
@RRN63 me niether...bad stuff.BAD I SAY...lol.In all honesty,though.8:25am : ... get me away with the powder-noses !!!
So horrible cool, so horrible important, so horrible obnoxious ...8:26am : Rabbit: I ran cocaine once and I am glad I did because it taught me how the high overrides the reason center of the brain so that the only and overpowering thought is, "where am I going to get more cocaine". It isn't possible to understand that without experiencing it firsthand. From that I can understand the mindset of a crack or meth addict.8:26am : i read
Hotel California: The True-Life Adventures of Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young, Mitchell, Taylor, Browne, Ronstadt, Geffen, the Eagles, and Their Many Friends
... is that enaugh about ugly stories?8:28am : I never did coke - & I understand that.8:29am : enough? more to come...8:30am : Only last week did I learn that Joni Michell song Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire was a heroin song. It's her 70th this year.8:30am : Yes Frank, I believe it does;Although the rest of the Dead members didn't appreciate what they considerd was a "Payback" book;Don't see that for a second, it was more a reflective personal book for and from Mr. Skully i think.8:30am : I have tried neither, but heroin looks worse than cocaine, judging by the way it warped people I used to know8:30am : Well, this turned into a remembrance day of a different sort altogether.8:31am : I never did heroin only because I knew I would like it.8:31am : - loves Mazzy - & I guess I was lucky to see them years ago in Santa Barbara for not too much...but they made sure they were dimly lit & it was crowded & Hope Sandoval not exactly leaping up & making herself a center of attention...8:32am : - Bingos, Helleye.8:33am : Whooda:Tim Curry did a monster cover of Cold Blue Steel on an early album: very theatrical. But what else, coming from him? Speaking of nicotine fiends, Joni is one of 'em, even now.8:35am : Sem: I was surprised to see her huffin' and a puffin' on a fag in a recent interview.8:36am : - oh - Joni will always be a damned Beatnik : ) ...8:36am : Heroin is the end of the road.
Sad that alot of kids are getting in to Heroin at a very young age,it's far more abundant and cheap.
I'm 44 and when I was younger it was Mesc and dirt weed.
Now it's Heroin?!...a huge epidemic in the streets surrounding my apt. building.
GOD DAMN THE PUSHER-MAN!8:36am : I found the tim curry on Youtube, will be sure and check it out. thanks Sem.8:38am : - that's right SeanB - smack & crack & meth & prescription drugs. Apparently, nobody read the Huxley...8:38am : Barrel Bottom: you're welcome.8:39am : ...even the ganja is said to be exponential of what it were in my 20thCentury dayze...8:41am : Sad, Man!, very sad.
Whatchagonna do.
Heroin addicts are VERY hard people to HELP even when they ask you for it.A friend of mine is one, i keep him at a close but distant reach...8:41am : Hugs, not drugs.8:41am : ... I read the Huxley, but that's 25 years ago.8:42am : Today's run-of-the-mill weed is what Thai-stick was in the '70's. the really good weed is crippling.8:43am : on a lighter note...
morning, Ken.8:45am : Yes a lighter is important too Frank :)8:48am : Much agreed!..
Hey, I can still laugh the world away while discussing some deteriorating "States" of it.
LOL.
Good Morning All!.
We woke up today!.8:51am : Quite the salon you've hosted this morning, fxo, while serving up, as usual,music for a Monday morning coming down. Thanks a lot, and catch you next week.8:52am : I guess it's coming to the end of this webcast. Wow, great conversations!
Much appreciated... have a good week, and you'll hear from me next Monday, same station, same situation. The archive of this will be available, on the WFMU website, in a few hours.
pax.8:53am : I never can understand why people get so DOWN on YES.
"Close To The Edge" is such a positive & uplifting KEEPER of a record.
I had a great time taking all this music and convo in,along with the caffeine.
Thanks Frank, all.8:55am : Cheers Frank!8:55am : Thank you Frank! Have a good one!12:02pm : FXO, you're making my Tuesday :) I know it's not real time but I feel like it was yesterday, today! Magic.2:40pm : based on today's date, I appreciate it.
