If that was a weekend date, I might've considered it...
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Aww. I was hoping you would find that travel-worthy.
I'm excited! Especially because that is just a 15-minute walk from work for me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This guy makes weird-ass Theremins out of old electronics, like Geiger-counters and rotary phones....
He also make keyboards, circuit-bent stuff.... [link]

Cool. The wackiest theremin I own is one built into a Scooby Doo lunchbox.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Just got back from The Stooges show.
My first concert ever was Black Sabbath at the Hollywood Sportatorium in Florida. I went with my best friend Alex.
Emmett's first concert ever was The Stooges, and he also went to his first show with Alex.
Emmett's review: "Iggy's amazing! He's almost a senior citizen and he's got more energy than...than...anything on the planet."
It was Iggy's sixtieth birthday. We got special pins, and of course, we sang Happy Birthday to him.
Seeing the show reminded me that in a lot of ways the Stooge were always more of a groove band than a riff band. They've certainly got some immortal riffs, but when they locked into "Funhouse" they just rode that groove like a big porny pony.

OK, I'm now watching Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (the '78 flick with Peter Frampton The Bee Gees.) Why am I watching this? It's hard to explain. I wanted to see it when it came out but never did. I saw a little bit of it when a salesperson was demonstrating a laserdisc player to my dad. It looked so cool, but that might have just been the novelty of the laserdisc player. (Plus the six-wheeled Olds Toronado limo was cool.) I wanted my dad to buy the laserdisc player and the movie, but he was concerned about buying some new technology that might be a failure in the marketplace or somesuch nonsense. So, I've wanted to see it all these years.
Anyway, I'm 15 minutes into it. Does it ever start to, um, suck less?

Oh well. Gotta follow my childhood dream/obsession/whatever anyway...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Aerosmith does a good version of "Come Together."
Earth, Wind and Fire do a good version of "Got To Get You Back In My Life."
Steve Martin does a truly awful version of "Maxwell's Silver Hammer."
The Bee Gees and Peter Frampton look utterly risible.

Jon! Your White Castle ads are fucking genius! Who knew you could play the blues on a "theramin"!
Psychedelic blues at that.
Also, who knew you could sing?
