Comment on Lou Reed’s Metal Machine 3 by Rance Muhhamitz

Sounds like an enchanted evening . . . What’s the matter? Did Phillip Glass call in sick? As someone who actually owns and likes most of Brian Eno’s 70s “ambient sound” albums, as well as enjoying experimentation by REALLY intellegent guys like Robert Fripp, David Byrne, and Adrian Belew, what you described in this review doesn’t sound like much fun. Too bad. I’ve been a Lou Reed fan for almost 45 years now and I would hate to hear that he simply doesn’t care about his audience anymore . . . Bro, I hope you sneaked into this show without paying and that you stole other people’s drinks off the bar . . .

Comment on The Bi-Monthly Meat: “Drop Dead Legs” by Van Halen by Rance Muhhamitz

I love the story about clearing a hip-hop club with Van Halen! I did a lot of DJing in an English pub sorta dive here in LA and we would clear THOSE drunks out by blasting hip-hop!! After a night of heavy drinking while listening to blues, punk, and hard rock, the crowd reacted like they’d been hit with a fucking cattle prod at 1:45 a.m. when we broke out Public Enemy and N.W.A. . . . Actually, we weren’t even that polite. My DJ partner, Ms. Donna, who was about 5 foot tall, killer smile, killer tattoos, and who always had some place else to be at 2:00 a.m., would simply cut the music, stand on the turntables, and scream:
“CLOSING TIME, ASSHOLES!!! Drink the fuck UP, and get the fuck OOOUUUTTTT!!!”
Charming AND effective . . .

Agreed. 10 mins too short. That song can peal the paint from the walls. I worked at a hip-hop night club in the 90’s. End of night, lights go up, time to clear the room. 1984 baby.

Well, here it is, da Tuesday after the big game (I was too fucking hung-over to write this yesterday . . . ), and it’s time to review predictions, yes? Why, it looks as if MY team won! And look, I even predicted the correct point spread . . . Fuck Gonzolandia, I’m gonna start my own on-line bookie operation now that I’m an acknowledged sports betting genius.
Saints fans: I would KILL to be with you in the French Quarter this week as you celebrate this stunning victory AND gear up for Mardi Gras.
Colts fans: How would you have celebrated even IF the Colts had won? Gone outside and eaten snow? Shit negroes . . .

In a stroke of synchronicity, I listened to Ian Hunter’s “All-American Alien Boy” just last weekend from a “Greatest Hits” album I have from his solo career. For the uninitiated, “All-American Alien Boy” has perhaps the BEST bass solo in all of rock and roll, just this side of John Entwhistle’s work on “The Real Me” from The Who’s “Quadraphenia.” I never saw Mott or Ian live, though they both toured through Los Angeles extensively in the early to mid-70s, but always was impressed with Ian’s bitter wit and biting sarcasm. If they should decide to take their show on the road to the states and pop into LA, I shall certainly take Mr. Row’s advice and go see them.
PS: Hadn’t thought of Keef Hartley in YEARS!! Dear God, Mr. Row!! We are SO goddam old . . .

Brilliant report. I especially enjoyed the information about “Dingo Dirt.” I must admit, booze and drugs have caused me to dance around in my own “dingo dirt” in the past (last weekend). Sometimes, when I go to someone else’s house, I’ll play a game called “Hide the Dingo Dirt” in which I strategically lay down some dingo dirt in a difficult to find location. First the smell, and then the flies reveal the location of my hidden dingo dirt, but it can take a few days. I chuckle to myself when I think about it. Once, as a child, I ate a piece of dingo dirt, mistaking it for a raisin.
