Ah, a preview, I was just looking and didn't see the album listed yet on ESP bandcamp page.

How perfect would it be if you were to now play the song that inspired Richard Hell “beat generation,“by Rod McKuen?

Dad says “That’s the problem with your generation, listening to songs like ‘born to lose”
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:54pm
WR:

Unless you dad is over 80 years old or under 50 this song is from his generation.
Avatar 10:55pm
Mr Fab:

Actually that song came out during what was probably your dad‘s generation!

Bri: Johnny wasn’t a model citizen but he is an icon of punk. Gotta love him.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:58pm
WR:

but remember kids, Johnny Thunders died for your sins, don't become a junkie.
Avatar 🌃 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:08pm
Beneath the Underground:

WR: words of wisdom
Avatar 🌃 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:09pm
Beneath the Underground:

Peeps, if anyone has some poetry-laden music you’d like to hear, lemme know. If we can, we will play it
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:19pm
WR:

Langston Hughes? He did something with Mingus and some other jazz band.
Avatar 11:20pm
Mr Fab:

Hmm, spoken-word+music..? Laurie Anderson, King Missile, Jim Carrol, tho not from NYC: Capt Beefheart, John Cage...
Avatar 11:21pm
Mr Fab:

That's great stuff, WR. and Sun Ra had some nutty spoken-word/poetry tracks.
Avatar 11:29pm
Mr Fab:

"Twisted" Yes! I admit when you played Lambert, Hendricks & Ross earlier, I was instantly reminded of this classic.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:31pm
WR:

The High Lord Buckley!
Avatar 🌃 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:34pm
Beneath the Underground:

I love anything Langston Hughes! Laurie Anderson is always cool. King Missle. Let me see what we’ve got……..
Avatar 11:37pm
Mr Fab:

Really, everything you're playing is great. His Royal Hipness Lord Buckley, Ken Nordine, all faves.
Avatar 11:39pm
Mr Fab:

a King Missle song with actual singing,
not poetry-isizing? Well, whatdoyaknow...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:40pm
WR:

King Missile is new to me and seems to be something I should know about. Thank you for playing!
Avatar 11:42pm
Mr Fab:

That was unusual for them WR - usually their tracks feature very funny, wry spoken-word over groovy music.
Avatar 🌃 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:42pm
Beneath the Underground:

John S Hall, the front man, is a poet primarily. He’s still active and has several bands now, released a very bizarre LP on green vinyl about 2 years ago.
Avatar 🌃 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:42pm
Beneath the Underground:

King Missile’s “hit” was Detachable Penis!

WR:

Now gotta go look to be sure I have this Mingus record.
Avatar 🌃 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:51pm
Beneath the Underground:

We will be closing out with this epic work of Charles Mingus, spoken word by Jean Shepherd
Avatar 🌃 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:52pm
Beneath the Underground:

WR it’s one of Mingus’ many great albums. One of my faves. And w Shepherd you cannot go wrong
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:56pm
WR:

Yep, I have The Clown in a CD compilation. I try to have all Mingus recordings close at hand. The Mingus / Langston Hughes I have on vinyl. Don't think I have it on CD or digital.
Avatar 11:57pm
Mr Fab:

This has been such a great episode - glad i was around to actually listen to the whole thing this time.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:00am
WR:

I was looking for a book I read from the library last year by a French man who was around in the early NY punk scene. He was friends with Johnny Thunders and wrote a lot of the goings on between the main folks of that scene. Had fun but sad anecdotes.

Thank you John and Laurie! Laters all.
