Tim T here at my gateleg table. Watching baseball. BlueJays vs Phils. I'm writing about R+R , not baseball. Baseball threads die here.R+R always sells. It just keeps on chuggin. Guys and Gals over-driving geetars. A simple drum beat and ATTITUDE!
I was weaned on Classic Rock. I remember hearing Satisfaction and LOVING it. This was in the early 70's. Everywhere you went you heard GREASY HARD ROCK or singersongwriter dirges. I went out and bought my first album in 1976 a Bowie Comp=Changes One. What a summer. Kiss Destroyer . Steve Miller. Fleetwood Mac. Boston. Eagles getting Joe Walsh .
That was ages ago. I was 10 years old. 35 years ago. I can believe it. Many things have happened . I have denounced R+R many times.The GODS. In 1983 I went Metal. I was tired of the dinosaur Rock.I was AMPED on hormones and cheap thrills. Iron Maiden +PriesT+ WitchFinder General+ Motorhead.... ect fueled my HS years. I gave away alot of albums to girls. Spread the wealth. R+R without women is stale. I gave my Super Hot "faux" cousin=Connie. I'm adopted. Tons of albums. She was DEADLY. I used to play with her in the dappled 70's days of yore. We played hide and seek. american Pie played in ther background. I rember the Whisky +Rye line>>>>>
Then at a relative's funeral. The HOT Connie appeared in leather pants and blonde hair. She came up to me and kissed me on the mouth. WOAHHH! My "little" faux cousin had grown into a HOT 80's Rock girl. I gave her alot of Zep bootlegs and Who boots. Also some ACDC. I've always been like that. Spread the wealth. It helped if you were SMOKING HOT

Rock and Roll on a Friday Night
Tim T here at my gateleg table. I'm NOT rocking tonight. I'm TIRED! Believe it or not. When I begin to slur I'm whupped. Feels good. Mania is FANTASTIC. I can ride it for weeks. Then? Boredom. Let me guess more ranting? Lift the needle. Change the record side. I may be "tamed" here in my den. It happens. Baseball relaxes me. I do Yell at nice plays. I can't help it. I grew up on baseball.
I listened to the John Langford piece of Iggy's Raw Power yesterday . I get goosebumps EVERY time I hear that. They interview Rollins,Watt,Ig,,Mick Rock. Great stuff. It is ALL about redemption. Iggy WAY ahead of the times. People confused. Cheezy cover= dripping Blood letters and THE IG. Johnny Marr talks about I Need SomeBody playing on his turntable on a grey December's day.
I also looked at Let It Bleed : Stones in the 60's. Tons of photos. Keef tuning in B+W! I love pictures of Keef tuning? He always looks so serious. Can I tune this thing? Can I write a new tune? Can I score some H? I look at photos of Mick T and Keef dueling. Mick in a cape. Clear guitars.
The MYSTIQUE of R+R! It is eternal. Real Rock shines. Pictures of Chuck B tired ,leaning against a wall. Arms outstretched. EXHAUSTED! R+R is WORK. Where am I? Who am I? The reverb . The A chords. Coiled cables. CHEMICALS!
Cobain was the last "mythic " R+R star. I could care less about his demise. I'm talking about his reluctance. He knew his dream would destroy him. Kurt 'worked" his image. Heroin, bi-sexuality-Courtney=CONFUSION! That is the REAL rock. Mangling personalities. You could go NUTS in public back then. Now,EVERYONE has a cellphone camera poised. The R+R star must now drink healthshakes and do yoga.
What am I talking about?
KISS>HOTGIRLS>Zep bootlegs> some baseball>exhaustion> CHEMICALS and E chords shaken not stirred . Make Pete proud. I love his Schecter tele!
