hi friends.

been a rough week at work, and emotionally for me. depression triggers *ACTIVATED* ... and as I worried, thinking about my mortality- even through loved music- isn't helping. I'll possibly maybe jump back in next week once I've had a chance to exhale and regroup this weekend. 

all the loves.

Have a good weekend.   Go play with your kids.

 
Still on love, but going broad (npi) widdit.

5.xx - All the Time, A Race of Angels. Shoutout to @Gr00vus fuh dis.

Ain't got a house. Ain't got a family. Ain't got money. Made no mark on the world. Won't have a memorial service cuz no one will show.

All i got is personal knowledge of my refinement of my life portion and memories, But, #####, i got me some memories. No ten of you could come close.

Bunch of those memories involve women. Can't count em. Tried to estimate the number i've been intimate with once, got to 280, then remembered a whole bunch more later, so fuhgit it. All but 2 of em empirically beautiful and i am not a catch. Nor was i ever a Lothario, a Mac of any sort. People just bore the #### out of me, women less than men. And there are dozens more  women who have been important to me without a sexual element (tho i usually tried that first - it's dishonest not to if you're attracted & they're not attached). 98% of what i learned from other people came from women. Men are nice to have on your side, but little fun to get to know. Women are fascinating, especially those of my generation who didn't know what they'd be allowed to think or feel even if they wanted to. 

Now, almost 200 of my sexual relationships were with groupies on the rock & roll road and don't really count - 40+ yrs later, i remember few names, only incidents & flashes now - but that still leaves 100 or so who have been my whole world at one time or another. Sarah Jane was my first - she 5yo, me 4yo, she'd take me to the groundskeepers shed of the married-students dorm we lived in, rip off both our clothes and rub her body against mine. Knew it was a great and kinda sad thing, no idea why. Siobhan (my Jamaica Plain Irish dream, )Betsy (li'l Bardot), Patty (my cherry and mother of my 48yo son), Kim (least attractive, most beautiful woman i've ever known, turned me on to Coltrane and sososo much life stuff), hippie chicks (God bless hippie chicks), Alix (first woman i set up housekeeping with), Leslie (weirdass wiccan), CC (retired hooker who was denmother of my practice house) Lynn (only one i woulda died for, had her husband beat within an inch of his life for beating her to the point that CC asked if we could take her in and the she ####in went back to him), the commune girls (the "Psycho Chickens" Patty, Katy, Lisa - who i walked into a club w once and, looking @ the 80 or so people in there, said "OMG, i've slept w every man & half the women in here!" - especially),  Jenny (only one woulda died for me), Connie (first NM girl to take me home to meet her abuela, something i came to date Hispanic, esp Castillian, girls just to get to do) Anita (my first Sex Olympian, had to give me nitrus to keep me going), Naomi (my disco lady), Pauline (another wiccan, best booty call, had a chihuahua & a mastiff, both of whom liked to watch), Judy (first of my 20some longterm affairs w married ladies - only one of whom would not say that particular pressure valve improved/saved their marriage), Lisa S. (who i learned Mexico with, when she sought curios for her shop), Joanie (best match of my life, would have ended this list if she hadn't been gay, offered most of my rock&roll fortune to her if she'd carry our li'l zygote to term), Donna the Biker (buttugly bulldyke friend of Joanie's who developed a crush on me and would roll up to my house on odd Sundays with a bottle of Vodka & some gourmet leftovers - unbelievable cook - when she'd get a manthing in her craw to see if i wanted to fool around), Becky (my Indian Princess), Noreen & Maura (my Manhattan gals), NYC's record company, TV network & talent agency receptionists, Toni (who chose me from among dozens of Mudd Club boys to sneak into her hospital room the nite b4 her nose job), Mudd Club Girls, Scary Mary, the Princess (a worse lone wolf than me who was my tweener for the entire Reno period without my knowing if she even liked me, has her own island in Nicaragua now), the Carols (married nurses Scary Mary & I worked with who Mary did not believe i had affairs with whom i set up "Diner"-style trysts with to prove same & win bets with her), Fancy (a casino jet "hostess" i've written about here before who died on one of those flights, either strangled by a southern governor, of an overdose, or - as my running buddy who was her steadiest beau insists - of liver failure), Holly & Shelley and all Reno's cocktail waitresses & cokewhores, Joe Conforte's limo girls, Kelly (who i helped file one of Nevada's first casino-employee sex harrassment lawsuits when she was a break-in poker dealer but who let her bf run off w the settlement and, abandoned, ended up stripping/hooking til i got another poker room - she was virtually blackbooked cuz of the lawsuit - to hire her), Kathy Lee (the singer from my "In My Life" story, mother of my 22yo son, who will always be my "one that got away"), C (a former above-the-marquee movie star who i had some kind of relations with on the hood of a car outside a Santa Fe party, but that i was too loaded to remember and only know about because others told me about it) LeeAnn (a 6'4 beautiful blonde who grew up immensely fat but, after getting thin, luxuriated in treating men like meat and, when we both wondered why we hadn't hooked up after all the time we'd spent at the same corner bar, she asked to see my thumbs & Adam's apple, whereupon i walked over and told her to just str8up check the goods - i believe her exact quote was "Eewwww......oh what the hell!"), HOLIDAY GIRL (who i wrote about here over a decade ago), Peggy (who got my life back on course after my Mary died), Valerie (my first girlfriend after i got fat, God bless her) and Rebecca (my last gf, whose beautiful kids i miss more than her) a few more i'll remember just as well but can't think of right now.

Anyway, when Gr00vus linked this song in his Fifty Faves last month, i found it to inspire a soul stroll of my life's romantic reminiscences and i've played it and done so about 417 times since and hence it will be part of any consideration of my wikkid existence. Thx, buddy

Growing up my sister and I played records all the time. One day during the early to mid 70's, one of my sister's friends came over to play an album she bought.  It was A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean. I heard this song and I loved it. It made me want to write poems. I did get a poem published in the city public school system's Creativity Book. It was called "Winter's The Time". I was all excited to see it in the book, and when I read it one of the lines was printed wrong. As the kid from A Christmas Story would say FUDGE!  I got over it, but man, my first and only publication was botched. Anyway, I still love this song.

Well, hell, I really didn't want to follow that, but Rd 5 pick is Jump Little Children- Cathedrals.

No deep meaning, just another song that I've loved for years. The dystopian lyrics intrigue me, and I've always been a sucker for pop songs that use orchestral strings, so this one knocks it out of the park for me.

 
6. "I Got A Name" - Jim Croce

Like "Drift Away", this one just nails it for me across the board. Great song as comfort food.

Croce is criminally underrated because.....he wasn't pretentious, I guess? Great lyricist with a fine voice and - gasp! - a sense of humor.

oh yeah, will definitely be on my final list ....@Uruk-Hai and I seem to be a couple of the bigger GFR fans here - these guys are so underrated.  I think many people see them as dinosaurs.  I see them as the essence of rock and roll.

Lol....I think we're carrying the flag pretty much by ourselves, my friend. Nice to see someone else choose a record by them, though - especially in a thread that's as personal as this one.

Mel's the only one who I think was a better-than-average musician. But I also agree that you need these kinds of acts to provide a bedrock depth.

This came up on my random play last night and I added it to my possibles list. And you sniped drift away from me. Lol. 

 
This song is one of my favorite spiritual songs. It was written by Marijohn Wilken and Kris Kristofferson.  The song was sung a little over a year ago at my grandmother's roommate's funeral. It was her roommate's (Clarice) favorite song, and I loved singing to it. We loved Clarice, especially my mom. They became very close over the years. When this song was sung, tears streamed down mom's face. Clarice died on mom's birthday. We miss her.

6. One Day At A Time - Lynda Randle

I love this spiritual song as well, and it was also written by Kris Kristofferson.

7. Why Me - Kris Kristofferson

 
#5 Release  by Pearl Jam

Love the melody and lyrics. I do feel that if I am cognizant at the time of my death I will feel a great sense of release and relief. I will be done, all responsibility done, all the pain done. I have also mentioned I did not have a great relationship with my dad. This song has always made me think of him and I hope he did see what I have done. He never told me personally how he felt about my limited accomplishments. I will say when I was at the funeral I heard from more then one stranger that he did speak well of how my life was going and he was proud of what I did. It was sort of gratifying to hear the words "Your the son in Arizona he was so proud of , so glad to meet you". It was nice and sad all at the same time. I wonder why didn't he say that to me personally when alive? Just didnt have it in him? I dont know? 

Anyway there is a lot of personal feelings wrapped up in this one song for me. I also feel its about the perfect tempo for thinking.

Release

#6 .   Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)

This will be the final song played for many reasons...
1) Wife and I were huge Seinfeld fans. Humor has always been a big part of my life. Loved that they used this to close it all out. Love that my boys have wicked senses of humor.  Meme of 1 1/2 yr old grand daughter by youngest son    Meme of 4 yr old Grand daughter.   I cry laughing everytime I see this
2) My daughter and youngest son are huge Green Day fans.  We had Ducks season tickets til i moved away in 2010. When they won the cup in 06/07, we listened to Green Day on the way to every game that year. Green Day, In N Out, toll road to the game.  Great memories.
3) As to the lyrics, they hit home in a big way.   I've lived a great life. Lots of great times, and great achievements.  I was on my own at 17 1/2, put myself through college, and went on to build a few solid businesses, own a decent chunk of RE,  and do a decent amount of traveling with family. My only goal since 2015, is just to give back anyway I can. I was able to live the American dream. Also a lot of lows having to deal with alcoholic mom from age 8-19,  youngest son having 3 open heart surgeries at 12 months, atv fall off 40' cliff in 2005 ( 4 mo. bed rest),  2 PE's and 100+ clots in right leg in 2009 (6 mo bed rest and 5 years to heal), and a concussion that I had 3 years ago this month that just finally healed 100% last month. Throughout all of it, I knew I would persevere,  and come out better for all of it.   

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs, and still-frames in your mind
Hang them on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoo's of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

 
Now that i got that perverted grocery list out of the way, it's time to get serious about women.

6.xx - You Don't Love Me When I Cry, Laura Nyro

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do and woman's gotta do everything else. That's the world i was born into. Women were targets, for passion or scorn, objects of affection only for their children. Encased in nylon fortresses of garmentry, painted for a life conducted backward in heels. My naghag of a mother gave me no particular need nor desire to know or admire them, but girls trusted me right away, for a reason i'll never know. And they do smell awful good.

And then it happened, the meteor that killed the dinosaurs. Gals starting peeking out from under their aprons, girdles and trousseaus and saw no particular reason not to enjoy a life in full. I was largely indifferent to the phenomenology of it until they started casting away items of clothing. Yes, it is hot, but y'all who didn't get to see young women out there for the first time in jeans & chemises, free of shoes, brassieres & scruples, missed a glorious liberation. I hope the victimization I saw so many suffer under has or soon will see its day.

It's kinda come full circle now and, after two generations of learning from and encouraging women, i'm sorta considered a pig again. It's mostly because i am paternal (with everyone, though, for the simple reason that i am usually so far superior) and do not hesitate to point out that, having traveled as wide & weird a world as i possibly could, searching for the most challenging, complicated & emancipated females i could find, i've still to meet a single one with a sense of justice greater than their sense of care. My sample size is more than valid and i simply must conclude that sex/gender roles may be interchangeable but largely shouldn't be. I'm happy to stipulate that a sense of care may indeed be more important to humanity than a sense of justice, but that doesn't affect my opinion that we are wrong about ourselves and each other til we go back to complimentary roles as our optimum condition. I don't know what those roles will ultimately be, but women (though they are owed many more generations of trying to figure it out) are screwing up the world as dramatically & fundamentally as men did without showing signs of delivering anything more significant to the pile than their freedom and the only possible answer is a new 'Us' of some kind. I shonuff am glad, though, that i retired from connubiality before the victimologies of the New Puritanism gained eminence. That would have been a terrible coda to my personal opera.

The song above has been the anthem of my search for depth, sense, passion & affection with women for almost fifty years and one of my greatest personal victories came when i felt comfortable singing it as fervently for myself as did the person who wrote it. God bless us, every one.

Was watching Aerial America’s episode on Hawaii, and (appropriately) this song came on to close the show!

If you have access to The Smithsonian channel, watch it! Aerial America picks a state or region and while showing beautiful flyovers, has interesting narratives about what they are showing.

 
7.xx - Mercy Street, Peter Gabriel

As my life always has, we close the romantic circle  of my mix with a song for my Mary. I could have made my whole soundtrack a bunch of Marysongs™, tunes about difficult women making glorious trouble: She Talks to Angels, Donald Fagen's exquisite Negative Girl and Lunch With Gina, Jason Isbell's heartbreakingly tactile Elephant, but none of them reach a molested girl's "awful rowing to God" like Mercy Street. No matter what Mary was doing, how she was feeling, she was always prey to it falling upon her at any time. Her eyes would narrow to slits, flame with rage, distill in tears as she'd flash on memories of her father on & in her, trading her to his country club pals for fondling, photo shoots and other fs, from ages 8-14 actually seducing her father to keep him off her younger brother, the only one of Dr. Vincent Lauer's five children he didn't violate. As my great friend Peggy, who got me back on my feet after Mary died and whose father regularly made her fluff him before diving into her mother, used to say, "You can only kill a person once, but molestation kills its victims every day". God bless & keep all the wreckèd souls, my beloved's most especially...

Even in the Quietest Moments

 Always liked the instrumental beginning to this song and would have no problem if that segment was on an endless loop.

And even when the song is over
Where have I been, was it just a dream?
And though your door is always open
Where do I begin, may I please come in, dear?

 
Sticking with the ethereal theme for now.  Thinking this would make for a pretty good background tune.  "Houses of the Holy" was the first Led Zepplin album I ever bought - had to work backwards from there with picking up Led Zep albums.  Though I was forced to listen on my green plastic Sears stereo, though I did get a pretty cool "dancing light box" that moved to the beat of the music.  

RD 6: No Quarter - Led Zepplin

 
Round 6

I guess the somber mood of this song makes it appropriate, but it's mostly included because this album has had a place in my heart since it was released.

Killing the Blues - Robert Plant and Alison Krause

My last choice was about my first born, so my next choice is for my second born, my other son.  For anyone not familiar with my work here, a frequent topic of mine has been the athletic exploits of this child and the experiences we've gone through.  It was tough picking a song for him, as there are several that have sentimental connections and are off the beaten path, but ultimately I settled on Tequila by The Champs. The link is to my and one of his favorite scenes from his favorite movie, The Sandlot.

 
My 6.xx is going to be a hymn that no one else is going to pick, but I love this song - especially this version.

I Need Thee Every Hour, performed by Joey & Rory.  There is a youtube video of them doing it live that is just breathtaking.  Rory in his signature overalls and Joey just singing her heart out.  It's just perfect.  Run time is about 3:14.

 
6.    Pearl Jam--Wishlist  I'll probably end up with the studio version, but I linked to 9/25/11 in Vancouver since it's the best version I've seen live.   I'm the guy in the Led Zeppelin shirt in the middle of the frame about 3 rows up.  Pearl Jam is my favorite touring band, so there was going to have to be a PJ song in this list.   Wishlist is one of my favorites (although I considered Release as well).   A song about all of the positive things that you could be to the people in your life, with a little self-deprecation mixed in.   

I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good 

 
8.xx I Can't Make You Love Me, wikkidpissah & Kathy Rang (1995)

Don't worry - this is not, even as a cover of that hauntingly forlorn hit for my former employer - another undigestible ball of lovewax. The listed 4-min cassette that is on my personal rack is instead the only playable media by which i can display my musical gifts/passion.

A few weeks ago, i drove by myself - a welcome break from the ol' peeps - to a Holiday fete a couple hours from here. For the entire length of the trip, i sang (cutting loose is sumn i can't do much in tomb where i reside) instead of playing the radio. What i sang for these four hours were entirely songs of my composition. Except for each way rendering the score (23 numbers) of the musical i've been working on this whole decade, there were no duplications. 60some half-decent-to-excellent tunes in all.

The shame of it all is that, because of my horrible musicianship & hermit ways, none of this all is recorded anywhere but on my handheld digital voice recorder, so i cant play it at my wake or suicide. If i find an arranger/producer before i die, the soundtrack of my services will likely contain nothing but. so this tape of my youngest son's mother & i (we did a half dozen wedding receptions together backinaday) recording a friend's favorite song as a b'day gift will be the bookmark for all that til further notice.

 
cos 5.x Dead Flowers / Rolling Stones

I've loved this song since I first heard it and I'd love to hear it on my way back out.

Decided to go with a different TVZ song and really, no one plays this like the Stones
