That rough, early version of Dazed and Confused with totally different words that was a bit down the YouTube queue was pretty interesting too....

Of course y'all know that Jimmy bought that song from a certain Jake Holmes who released two fucking incredible LPs on Tower Records back in the day. His version of Dazed and Confused appears on his first LP.

I can't recommend the first two records highly enough. Solid all the way through, if you're into a relatively low key somewhat downer psych vibe -- which I am ALL THE TIME.

Sadly, Jake Holmes subsequent records (for Reprise) suck ass terribly. This is why it's important for artists to avoid bullshit producers who whisper in their ears about what the "public" want.

Holmes must still be around today. I have no idea what he's up to but I bet he wishes he hadn't sold his song to Jimmy Page (perhaps the greatest musician-businessman in the history of the biz).

GravatarCANTON, Ohio - A massive search ended in sadness Saturday when authorities announced they found a body believed to be a pregnant woman who vanished from her home a week earlier. A police officer believed to be the father of the unborn child was arrested on two counts of murder. Jessie Davis, 26, who was due to deliver a baby girl on July 3, was reported missing after her mother found Davis' 2-year-old son home alone, bedroom furniture toppled and bleach spilled on the floor.

GravatarSenior Black Democrat Loses Seat After Endorsing Republican
by Bonnie V. Winston
Special to the NNPA from the Richmond Free Press
Originally posted 6/21/2007

RICHMOND, Va. (NNPA)-He had far less money and a lot less seniority than his opponent.

But A. Donald McEachin had a message compelling enough to sweep him to victory in the Democratic primary election for the Virginia Senate June 5: “Vote for the True Democrat,” his campaign slogan stated.

Voters complied, giving Delegate McEachin 91,700 vote win over veteran Richmond Sen. Benjamin J. Lambert III, whose defeat ends a 29-year tenure in state political office.

mmonica, thanks for this story. Didn't realize the primary was this weekend so would have missed it. I loved the part where the booted incumbent sez:

Lambert, despite his long-term incumbency, never could overcome the albatross of his support last fall for then-U.S. Sen. George Allen, a Republican. Allen is very unpopular in the majority black 9th District.
[snip]
Lambert said his support of Allen probably cost him his job. "I thought the Allen folks would have helped me more, but it didn't work out that way."


He thought support from "Allen folks"--um, Republicans--was going to help him win a Democratic primary. Bright fellow, that...

I bow in apologies in your general direction. And dirty fucking hippies know quite a bit, actually....


GravatarFrank Rich, "BY this late date we should know the fix is in when the White House’s top factotums fan out on the Sunday morning talk shows singing the same lyrics, often verbatim, from the same hymnal of spin. The pattern was set way back on Sept. 8, 2002, when in simultaneous appearances three cabinet members and the vice president warned darkly of Saddam’s aluminum tubes. “We don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud,” said Condi Rice, in a scripted line. The hard sell of the war in Iraq — the hyping of a (fictional) nuclear threat to America — had officially begun.

America wasn’t paying close enough attention then. We can’t afford to repeat that blunder now. Last weekend the latest custodians of the fiasco, our new commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, and our new ambassador to Baghdad, Ryan Crocker, took to the Sunday shows with two messages we’d be wise to heed.

The first was a confirmation of recent White House hints that the long-promised September pivot point for judging the success of the “surge” was inoperative. That deadline had been asserted as recently as April 24 by President Bush, who told Charlie Rose that September was when we’d have “a pretty good feel” whether his policy “made sense.” On Sunday General Petraeus and Mr. Crocker each downgraded September to merely a “snapshot” of progress in Iraq. “Snapshot,” of course, means “Never mind!”

The second message was more encoded and more ominous. Again using similar language, the two men said that in September they would explain what Mr. Crocker called “the consequences” and General Petraeus “the implications” of any alternative “courses of action” to their own course in Iraq. What this means in English is that when the September “snapshot” of the surge shows little change in the overall picture, the White House will say that “the consequences” of winding down the war would be even more disastrous: surrender, defeat, apocalypse now. So we must stay the surge. Like the war’s rollout in 2002, the new propaganda offensive to extend and escalate the war will be exquisitely timed to both the anniversary of 9/11 and a high-stakes Congressional vote (the Pentagon appropriations bill)"

GravatarReal mice

I have those, too. I have a glass jar of cashews, with one of those glass lids that has a rubber ring under it. The mice have tried to chew off the rubber ring. It looks lace-edged now.

They don't seem to go away, whatever I do. I may have to get an exterminator.


GravatarNtodd,

The idea of the NY Times to limit their newspaper's columnists is about as silly as I can imagine. I had no problem with them charging for researching their back issues and stuff. That is a legitimate expense for them. But trying to limit the public's access to what they are trying to get them to read seems odd.

But the other day when someone posted a link to SICKO, I had no interest in going there. Michael Moore made a move to charge people to see. I have no problem for paying to see it. That is what you do.

Music? Not so much. The musicians are certainly welcome to tour. I would pay good money to see them perform if they would come within 90 miles of where I live. But they never (or seldom) do.

So, I am messed up I guess. But the mores the merrier I guess.

Which song, Gilly? The first three on the page were live recordings a fan made more than a year ago, and the last song a friend recorded for me years and years ago. Sadly, that's all I got so far. And I'm so much better now!! I'll mess with compression or whatever when I actually have good recordings to work with.

And thanks again for listening, I do appreciate it.

"Memo: Yes, we are still fighting terrorists of Al Qaida in Iraq in Haditha. (“Fighting terrorists associated with Al Qaida” is stronger language than “serving.” The American people will side more with someone actively fighting a terrorist organization that is tied to 9/11 than with someone who is idly “serving,” like in a way one “serves” a casserole. It’s semantics, but in reporting and journalism, words spin the story.)"

Also, it appears Jay Garrity, the Mitt staffer who impersonated a trooper to complain about a driver, has a suspended license. Probably too busy driving Mitt around to take care of fifty parking tickets.

I was 14. The hospital would not allow juveniles into his ward. He died next to his wife and older sister. But he was denied any visits from his children. I sat in a Frisch's Big Boy across from the hospital while he died.


Gravatarcosmic tumbler: you & your family have my sympathies. I know how it is to lose the parent, a feeling of surprise (even when it is expected, imminent even) and a deep sense of being alone that persists...

...but it pales next to losing someone with whom you spent 2/3 of your life as an equal. That has to be staggering.

take care of each other, best you can

My baby brother was the one that found my father dead when he went to the parents' bedroom for the TV Guide.


GravatarSallyh-


None of us get out of this alive. Good existential philosophy and therapy is how to think about that. Good living is how to deal with it. I find both very challenging. I want to die happy, singing, awake, not pushed off in some sad ward.


GravatarSpinoza, Matt was your age, 14.

And as difficult as it was for him, he knows that at least my da died in his own bed, after a wonderful night out, with good food and drink, and that ten days before he died, my da said he'd gotten to do everything he ever wanted.

My dad managed this, very nearly: dropped dead of a heart attack while playing the accordion with his little Musicians Union-sponsored band that entertained at nursing homes on Sundays.

Now it was a very hot day even for July in east central Illinois, and we heard the airconditioning in the place was rather on the fritz. But in fact I think it is more notable that he died on what would have been my little brother's 19th birthday, had said brother not himself died of bone cancer less than two years before.

He was a great guy in a lot of ways but had very little capacity for dealing with "hard" emotions like anger and grief. My brother's illness and death just took all the life out of Dad and not even the birth of his first grandchild could turn it around. I will always believe that he "thunk" himself to death and departed with nothing more than a sense of relief that his own pain was ending.

Working in the Background
A master of bureaucracy and detail, Cheney exerts most of his influence out of public view.

The vice president's reputation and, some say, his influence, have suffered in the past year and a half. Cheney lost his closest aide, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, to a perjury conviction, and his onetime mentor, Donald H. Rumsfeld, in a Cabinet purge. A shooting accident in Texas, and increasing gaps between his rhetoric and events in Iraq, have exposed him to ridicule and approval ratings in the teens. Cheney expresses indifference, in public and private, to any verdict but history's, and those close to him say he means it.

Last Tango AND Death in Venice are very good films.

Thankfully, I'm done.

Oh, and lest I forget... go to hell Gilly!

Can't imagine Myers duplicating Moon's amazing technique, even with stunt doubles and clever editing, and Myers doesn't have any depth as an actor, so it's going to mostly an "impression", rather than a performance.
