John Lurie will be on WFMU tomorrow morning. Hopefully, this is a sign that his health is improving.
I certainly hope so. I read an article about what his last decade has been like (in the New Yorker, I think) and it made me sad.
Mal: Okay. She won't be winning any beauty contests anytime soon. But she is solid. Ship like this, be with ya 'til the day you die. Zoe: 'Cause it's a deathtrap.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's about time!
In college, a male friend was trying to convince me I was gay (or at least bi). He paraphrased a line from Hair (that went, "I wouldn't kick Mick Jagger out of my bed" or somesuch) and asked me if I'd kick David Bowie out of my bed.
I had to say, "No."
So anyway, I have to read that book.
eta:
“Mick was very conscious of doing whatever it takes to stay hot; David was the hottest thing around at the time.”
Hee!

New book reveals Bowie and Jaggar’s steamy affair:
Angie Bowie talked about this in her biography Backstage Passes.
You know, I'm a little worried that Bowie hasn't done anything since he had heart problems seven years ago.

So if I heard John Lurie right, he's almost finished writing a book to be called What do you know about music? You're not a lawyer.
Heh.

Because books.
Wasn't there also a rumor that Mick and Rod Stewart hooked up at least once?
I would pay huge money for a video of young Bowie and Jagger getting busy. Good lord.

I wouldn't pay huge money, but if you did I'd bring the guac, chips and booze for a watching party....

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
It'd be nice if you could hear the people on the stage singing, and not just the audience.
