Andy, yeah, I know what you're saying...the Lemonheads then instantly faded into multi-platinum obscurity. That's such a great perspective when most people have no idea the band even existed pre-1992.
If anyone bothering to read this hasn't heard t…
Ha! I knew it.
I'm not crazy about Michael Jackson or modern-day indie rock, but I will sing the SHIT out of some prime Manilow.
Burd, you nailed me.
I write the songs that make the whole wooooorld siiiing....
ahhhh Bullet Lavolta,their 1st 12" almost bordered on being the new Jerry`s Kids !!! Then they hit the UK with the Lemonheads & they both fell away.....those were the days lol
What gets me is people forget that punk/hardcore was NOT a private party…
Burd, I would never accuse you of being shy about speaking your mind. And I doubt anyone would have thought me anything but a raging snob from way back. And with the anti-Manilow snobbery of the post below, we continue to have plenty in common. FTR:…
John, it didn't seem like good natured to me when I went back and looked. It reeked of pretentious snobbery. Haughtiness. The funny thing is; I'd probably step up and say something if someone was doing it to you. Incidently, there are all sorts of t…
John I will indeed buy you a drink but you will first have to drive the van of screaming kids northward!

When the Bosnian first arrived, they would invite me over to their little cook-outs. They would procure a black lamb from a local farmer in Pendleton. then they would disembowel that little lamb and roast him over a small wood fire, rotisserie style. The first such party I attended, they got me all stoked up on Coors light and promised me that I was about to taste the most delicious cuisine that I had ever tasted. Now I love middle eastern food..but this lamb meat was horrible..an acquired taste, I suppose.
Both Toza and Quesay have found financial success here in America. Both fought in the war against the Serbs. I have heard many heartbreaking stories about their plight. They said their army was funded by Osama bin Laden and spoke glowingly of him. These guys are all alcoholics and show no sign of any religious commitment.
I have followed the path of Yoga for many years, so much so that I feel a close affinity towards Hinduism.
At another point in my life, I felt infused with the Holy Spirit and considered myself to be a Christian.
I lean toward science and believe in Evolution, etc.
I have that read many Muslims believe that theirs is the true religion and that Hindu cow worshiping = idol worship, etc.
Mahan Kalpa, a respected musician in this community, works at a folkore institute associated with IU in Bloomington and has mentioned he has something on the Ben Ishmael tip - whether that's archival audio, personal thoughts, or some music that he's written I do not yet know. But I am surely looking forward to it!
