No, but it sounds promising. What or who happened?
'75. I'd been kicked out of the music biz., was working at an outreach program in my hometown N of Boston. My gf was selling ad time for a brand new Boston rock station (new to rock, i should say). One day she say, "wikkidikkiprikki, puhLEEZE help - if you used your studio expertise to produce commercials for my clients i could sell more time and would be free to do more reverse Moldavian immigrant on you". i never say no to a a naked woman w a kerchief, so i did.
Thing is that doing adz for Berzerko Bob's Rambler/Sputnik car lot or Stan the Blinds Man is kinda dull so, after doing the gen biz stuff, i'd do the commercial they deserve. The DJs (i have the same view of DJs that Albert Brooks had: "Three worst kinds of people? Incurable lepers....DJs.....curable lepers) got a big kick out of em, though and some asked me to do blackouts for em. I was working on these w my improv pal, Mark, in our production studio late one evening when the 8-12 DJ came in said, "could you cover my last half hour, i got a Sally wanna honk on me?".
Sure says i. He ramps an album cut & leaves. Mark (good techno) cuts studio A to our studio B while i grab some albums, and we start riffin&rampin on some now sounds, some wow sounds. One of the first we grab is "Sweet Jane" and it turns out both of us had played that in garage bands. While the song is playing, Mark goes out to his car, grabs his Telecaster, plugs it into B and, when "weeeee're BACK" we decide to re-sing "Sweet Jane" and "96 tears" live to Mark's axe. Mark yells into the mike "come join us, garage banders - if you're any good, we wont let you in".
When midnight DJ shows up there's like 20 guys w axes/keyboards/drumkits @ the door. He's down with it, so we let some of em in & live jammed til past 4, takin requests & ####. folks seemed to be lovin it. we know we're gonna get fired next morning, which is cool cuz no one's paying us & we could give two ####s about the 2 DJs and Alix could get canned but i could get new chicks ez then. Turns out our activity broke out the station. and tho PDs Ken & Clark werent thrilled, the publicity we created Arbed the #####es out so wtf cares?!?! and we both ended up w jobs out of it
that's my jam. GO Pats!!
