the Doors were kind to Roby, Ray and John
if there is one band that remains tested tried and true after many many rides into endless night(s). it would be the doors. every single album is perfect and there's not one thing you would want to change. the timeless content is almost still evolving. yet is what it is. like primeval moss. head to the importance of cultural effect and relevancy still on youth and it's like staring at the picaso lithograph which wallace fowlie was given by him for fowlie's dual translation of rimbaud's selected work in which a certain young james douglas morrison voraciously read and reread and wrote fowlie a letter about that is documented in a book fowlie later wrote in his 80's titled rebel as poet: rimbaud and jim morrison.
hey, being compared to jim by wallace fowlie was no and is no easy acceptance - let alone task of personal responsibility that comes w/ a serious statement, meeting and encounter - even this being after hanging out w/ roby and having approval of poetry and i guess way of existence. holy shit, i never did and still do have a hard time taking anyone serious if they have been compared to jim morrison. thank god it doesn't happen but hardly at all.
it wasn't until maybe last summer having bill siddons of the doors who also manages michael glabicki talk w/ me about the living theatre (i was reading a book called the living theatre: art, exile and outrage) and jim at the l.a. house of blues - glabicki telling me the summer or two before in l.a. that bill siddons rarely talks to anyone about jim - that i started to feel not so strange about it all and more famaliar and comfortable w/ myself and my instincts that i always relied on to navigate myself as a young kid that was contagious to be around and had many doors open and yet liked the luxury of sanctuary behind those that were closed.
THE CONNECTORS
The diamond shone like broken glass
Upon the midnight street
And all atop the walls were wet
Their white eyes glint & sleek
Then from afar a gnome appeared
An angel flashed on furry feet
The boulevard became a river
While waiting crowds began to quiver
I was in a motel watching
Whiskey in my hand
Her breath was soft, the wind was warm
Someone in a room was born

The Wind Cries Mary (live 1967)

from the Entertainment section of the Daily News

RUSTED ROOT,
“Stereo Rodeo”
(Adrenaline) ✰✰✰✰1⁄2 —
What if a high-profile, platinum-
selling musical group
threw a party and almost
nobody came? Rusted Root
found out in 2002 when
painfully few of even their
most dedicated fans RSVP’d
to “Welcome to My Party,”
their fifth studio release since
the Pittsburgh-born band
burst upon the charts in 1994
with the major-label smash, “When I Woke.” It appeared it
also would be their last when the principals — most notably
guitarist, lead singer and chief songwriter Michael Glabicki,
multi-instrumentalist and harmony singer extrordinaire Liz
Berlin and percussionist Jim Donovan — began peeling away
to follow their individual muses.
As it turns out, however, the party isn’t quite over just yet.
In fact, if “Stereo Rodeo” is any indication, it’s just getting
restarted. Glabicki, Berlin and original bassist Patrick Norman
have reunited to form the core of a reconstituted Root that not
only has ended a seven-year drought, but arguably has crafted
the first truly authentic RR record since the seminal “Send Me
On My Way” soared up the charts — and subsequently onto a
handful of major motion picture soundtracks — a decade and a
half ago.
It takes barely a bar or two of disc-opener “Dance in the
Middle” to realize that they’ve got their tribal groove back,
and they reinforce that notion throughout the remaining 10-
track ride. There is no “Send Me” here, but neither is there
any filler — just gems such as the accurately named “Driving
One” and “Driving Two,” which bookend the Wilco-esque
title tune; the funky “Bad Son”; the folkish “Weary Bones”;
the poignant “Give You the Grace”; and the tour de force
three-headed home stretch of “Animals Love Touch,”
“Garbage Man” and “Crucible Glow,” the latter reminiscent
of an up-tempo “Cruel Sun.” Ironically, perhaps, the most
Root-like moment may be their percussion-driven cover of
“Suspicious Minds,” with Glabicki’s still eclectic but no less
interesting vocal delivery proving to be the perfect anti-Elvis.
Welcome back to the party. (Dave Fennessy)

Courtney Friel's Strawhat
... too bad I couldn't find any pics of Courtney wearing her strawhat from Saturday July 18th when she was in Wisconsin covering a Country Music Fest = she looked so HOT ...well, Courtney looks HOT everyday anyway ...


From: mosshead7@yahoo.com mosshead7@yahoo.com

yeah, her strawhat is moving up on my 75 Top Hottest Women of the New Everyday Media 2009 listing to appear at the end of the summer on mystrawhat.com = (yeah, there's something about the end of the summer beginning of September when summer's almost gone and you can feel the warm chill and encroachment of Autumn while certain women who catch your eye and nose with such an inviting organic bouquet of noon burned gold into their hair and silky skin dress for September w/ the more seriousness that comes with the start of Fall and yet that wanton hanging onto every bit of summer sun that can be felt in the sky blue sky) ...

American Morning = CNN's Kiran Chetry


Kiran Chetry w/ my girl Suzanne Malveaux (sigh) ...


Here is Kiran and Carol reporting on Michael Vick's release and the impending decision by the NFL commissioner to let him play football again and earn millions and millions of dollars and have all that fame and power and adoration that comes along with representing the National Football League to millions upon millions of viewers across the globe. These "prized" football players have it all at their fingertips to impact the community and make good to give-back for their blessed position. And, what did Michael Vick do? He participated, perpetuated and further propagated a "death culture" by training innocent devoted loyal animals to kill or be killed - torturing, starving, beating and, well, acting like nothing more than an animal himself. Fuck you. Isn't that cool? You know what they say about a guy with a big dog? Big dog = little dick.
