Love Hurts

The soft lightening posing a threat...
I know he'll like that he doesn't regret

Music moans @ drops of giant thunder
No wonder you're scared, baby, .. It's the sound of a loud drop on linoleum
He's dead and there's no one else in town
Go ahead, I'm already dead from livin' too long
The poetry is in the song where she said so long
This scene is not worth its lot and who's been forgotten for money?
Take a little time off, baby, you deserve it and he'll never know
What comes after tomorrow with what has to borough in order to be with you. ..

yeah, she may make the listing for hottest women of the new everydaymedia for new media madness: an everyday art -including top 100 hottest women of the new everydaymedia (a celebration of smart, savvy, dynamic & engaging) - and pretty good poetry by a poet compared to Walt Whitman, Henry Miller and Jim Morrison by an authority on literature named Wallace Fowlie.

I know that the big rock bands / the big label acts make the majority of money for the record company which allows for new acts to be signed and also those bands who you have to scratch the surface a bit to be allowed to enjoy because the radio sure as hell won't be playing them ... and nowadays the latter bands with a sustainable following and integrity filled talent (sometimes genius) can say "forget you" label and start their own label and succeed as everyday musicians (even rockstars).

In 1982 I was playing along w/ Van Halen records. I met Jack Glades from Night Ranger in a lobby @ PeachTree Hyatt in Atlanta when i was 12 yrrs of age and he had invited me to sit down to talk w/ his & his girlfriend and even gave me a hug when we finished speaking. ..I was thrown off the football team because I left practice to see the Beastie Boys open up for Madona in 84. ..I think it was 88 when i met the Violent Femmes in like 88 back when I was an avid listener to WXXP Pittsburgh which played songs like Under the Milky Way, Judas Kiss, Black Coffee in Bed, Can't get Here from There, Watching the Detectives, etc.
At university in the early 90's I'd go to the library and listen to archived music ranging from authentic recorded African drumming & chanting to "the blues" played & recorded on front porches of old slave shacks. ..I met the LemonHeads (Evan Dando = playing pool @ a private party in Milwaukee while i attended Marquette U.), etc. ...

So i do know music a bit = and in a geeky obsessive way. I'm enjoying a lot of Gram Parsons now.

The WDVE morning show mostly plays big band artists & acts (almost exclusively) in accordance with the unwritten and well written laws of the music industry and how things are done at big rock & roll stations that are the biggest in their city.

But that's OK. ... I don't have to listen to Van Halen, etc. over and over again (and like it). .. especially when I don't think he/Eddie is a better guitar player and musician compared to Dean Ween (mickey melchiondo) of Ween .. . moreover Ween has been around since like 90 = signed on Elektra as teens and in like 93 already toured Europe and cranking out records --- and, now actually, more meaningfully (and relevant) than Van Halen, they still get around ... and I'd say Dean Ween / Mickey is probably the better human be-ing too ... especially with this venture Guide Service & Archangel Sportsfishing http://www.mickeysfishing.com/ in his native waters of New Hope, PA and NJ. ..

Mickey states he's been obsessed w/ fishing these New Hope & NJ fresh + salt waters for a long time and, keeping your safety first, if you can hang in w/ a positive attitude you can see why his everyday is so special + he lists himself as a pretty good conversationalist = and this i know he is = as sitting w/ him & two others @ Dee's Cafe in a booth on the south side of town 5 or 6 years ago after a show in Pittsburgh (which they always so graciously include as a stop). .. i had an awesome time.


Eddie Van Halen is over-rated. And, what's he doing for his local community and fans in such an enagaging everyday way?

Hi, remember that blue Sunday I stood outside the Fox and Friends window @ 48th and 6th during the show (after Rusted Root at Manhattan's Union Square or whatever that shabby shiek venue is called there)?... My wife called me to tell me she saw me and that you turned around and waved ... But just as I didn't answer that call ... I didn't acknowledge the wave or that someone inside was paying attention to me ... You know, I don't really like cameras and being filmed or shot so that's one of the reasons I am amazed by some of new everyday media who can pull the whole thing out of the box ... At first the new everyday media was just to get my poetry, points of view and philosophy across ... Now, years later I guess I'm surprised that while pickin' my six string acoustic guitar like a blue grass wind whirling through the tips of trees across the mountains and valleys I stop and take a snap because I truly admire your abilities and attributes.

Has the U.S. ever had such a colorful First Lady?

Princess

Almost everyday she'd hear her parents say,

"stick around, kid, the weather will get better!"

It was comforting but there was a blanket of gray.

She was taunted by chilly receptions and dead eyes.

"You don't like?!" "No." Why?!" "I just don't like her."

"She's never done anything to me. Just don't like her."

Oh, and they let her feel it. If you've ever read that

existential classic "The Trial" by the German Franz Kafka

then you could sympathize with the paranoia and unkind

eyes always upon you, judging, lying, always on trial but

you never know why & are never given the chance to stand.

However, she did stand-up for herself her own special way -

Chin up. Smiling. Polite. Kind. Generous. Complimentary.

Intelligent. The realization of "yeah, they are just jealous."

Being the official Princess now and just not name-called-that

She was quite confident she had taken the high road as the

sun shone brightly through the stained glass and in her mirror.

"hey WDVE Pittsburgh, are you feelin' all right?!" what are you to do but spin her tune? the label executives are saying it's so cool. soon the streets have this aroma of this soup and at a boil or at a simmer depends on whether there's a-lid-on-it so who's the one w/ the spoon? and when you find out it's her - first you're mad she's the one who has made you so so sad.

Walk out the Door

Oh, you don't love me anymore

And, you're gonna leave just like before

Take your things – walk out that door

Some things are worth keeping

Some you don't mind throwing out

Or losing when it's your choice to.

Yeah, 'cause you're really winning

Something you chose to shout out

Not drawing to play a loser like before

When you became so "happy" & adored

Oh, you don't love me anymore

And, you're gonna leave just like before

Take your things – walk out that door

Not gonna force this; take these things

One of us should just walk away

Up and out – walk out the door

Like, we can still be friends

Someone to hold on a cold night

On the long run what really matters?

For now it's too shattered. (and I'm glad)

Oh, you don't love me anymore

And, you're gonna leave just like before

Take your things – walk out that door

Walk out that door just like before

What is rich? $

The otherday I awoke and I hear Ali Velshi's booming straight ahead voice and Christine Romans and they're talking about money and everybody is so dire - better listen up if you wanna make it through the apocalypse. ..

A couple hours ago I woke up from a dream where I was @ this posh beach side resort w/ Keith and Mick and at one point my behavior was a little erratic and I was drinking too much even for Mick and Keith (well, esp Mick) and they confronted me and I told them to fuck off and go ahead and go ... That I didn't need them. And when I saw their surprise (genuine) I apologized and we all hugged.

And Keith broke out this original song impromptu on the guitar.

The words were cool - the versus the chorus ... And it was all mapped out for me on the guitar ... Keith was right in front of me playing.

I felt rich. I woke feeling rich that I had a cool song (words and music). In my mind I went over the chords and made some adjustments for my level of playing.

Then a fell asleep and just woke up and I forgot but only parts ...
"Oh, you don't love me anymore
You're gonna walk right out the door
Take your things like you did before

....

Fuck. Well, at least I have the sound of the chords in my head and those words to work with ... And having a song to sing makes me feel rich.

Last night it was asked to one of the young tea party freshmen, "has some of the momentum been lost?"

If it has it's sad commentary that just to get to the point of electing new blood that has representation opposite of those freaky liberals and right wingers and career politicians there has to be something "radical" like the tea party movement.

Charlie Sheen's "Torpedo of Truth" comedy show sold out in 18 minutes

		Reporter:	Anne Lu
Location:	Los Angeles, CA, United States	Published:	March 14, 2011 07:36 am EDT

Charlie Sheen's torpedo of truth is coming at a venue near you. But those who wish to see the ex-"Two and a Half Men" star do his "winning" formula on stage should act fast because the comedy tour "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option" is already sold out, with the actor planning on adding extra shows.

Charlie has opened shows at the Fox Theater Detroit in Detroit, MI and at The Chicago Theater in Chicago, IL, but those venues quickly sold out in just 18 minutes, a Ticketmaster record, according to TMZ.

And since the brazen actor is hot commodity right now, he is thinking of doing more shows in 20 to 30 more cities in the U.S. Organizers are also considering overseas tour in Europe and Australia.

A source told E! News, "Madison Square Garden is trying to book a date. That's not the ideal venue size, but Charlie is open to it."

Charlie has already been giving us a daily dose of his rants and raves on air and online, so what does a Charlie Sheen comedy show involve exactly?

"Charlie is first and foremost an actor," the source explained to the website. "There will be a lot of scripted material, plus videos, interactive audience material, the whole range of things that play off Charlie's strengths. There will be light and dark moments. People will not be disappointed."

The actor promises to donate $1 from each ticket to the comedy show to the Red Cross Japanese Earthquake Relief Fund.

Charlie Sheen To Get His Own Biographical Comic Book

March 14, 2011 07:10 AM EDT

A new Charlie Sheen comic book biography will soon be available. Bluewater Productions, which has published many comic books, is launching a new Infamous line. The first entry in the aptly named Infamous series will be the life story of everybody's favorite winning warlock.

According to Radar Online, The Charlie Sheen Story begins with the actor's sons being removed from his care by the authorities. The accompanying caption reads: "A knock on Charlie Sheen's door at 10 o'clock at night almost always means trouble." The text then describes him surrendering the kids into Brooke Mueller's care while "menacing-looking" cops look on.

On the next page, Charlie's back in his house with the goddesses. The caption reads: "Charlie gets to keep the nannies." Sounds riveting.

Apparently, the former Two and a Half Men star isn't directly involved with his comic book's production. Nevertheless, it will cover every aspect of his life, including his alleged substance abuse, his relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Kelly Preston, and his current seemingly interminable meltdown.

Subject: Jasmine Revolution: Hi China, where's Teng Biao?

Zhang Jinnan, Tang Jitang, Jiang Tianyong, Liu Shihui, Tang Jinglin, Li Tiantian, Chen Guangcheng are all names that the Chinese authorities know real well.

WE all should get to know these names too and ever so closely follow their names too and follow what they're up too --- As a matter of fact, only the Chinese authorities seem to know where Teng Biao is = (super creepy) ...

Marcus Brandt/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images

Teng Biao, a lawyer, is being held incommunicado by Chinese officials.

One of a handful of lawyers in China pressing for human rights and the rule of law, he has been repeatedly detained, beaten and threatened with death.

But this latest spell of detention — he has been held by Beijing security officers for three weeks, with no word from him or his captors — has struck a new chord of anxiety in his wife and friends.

"This time is really strange," said his wife, Wang Ling. "In the past, they held him only a few days, and we knew for what reason. But this time, I've been told nothing. No news, no calls, no result so far. I have no idea at all."

Mr. Teng is one of many prominent rights defenders and advocates who have disappeared and are being detained, some with no legal authority, in what critics say is one of the harshest crackdowns in many years. The detainees' relatives and supporters say previous periods of confinement did not last this long and in such total silence. The crackdown is part of a broader push to enforce social stability that has grown more intense in the past three weeks.

This is an especially uneasy time in China, with anonymous calls for a "Jasmine Revolution" similar to the uprisings in the Middle East popping up on some Chinese-language Web sites. That has coincided with the annual meetings of the National People's Congress and a consultative legislature in Beijing. Security officers have also clamped down on foreign journalists in the strictest such action in recent memory.
