@Holly, for goodness sakes, your're pretty, you could have gotten the pizza delivery guy to give you lift without even expecting a tip! BTW are you having to walk under those creepy crackling hi-tension lines tha make every step a scene out of a mass murder video?

Holly in NC:

@nanantatee - Sorry for being so thinskinned & bitchy. I'm actually in a really scary bad financial place at the moment, buying a $9 pizza was an act of gross stupidity on multiple levels, plus Chase misapplied our mortage payment (which has never been late,always early, always extra to principal) for about the 20th time so I walked into both a threatening "we've not received payment letter" AND a "you're such a good customer, time to refinance" letter on the stoop , so... sorry.

@Holly I recently learnt a new trick for pesky money leeches. Chase them away with a machete. Only a temporary fix though.

Gotta admit, I got totally pulled into that essay. What a trajectory, from the bands to the A&R days. Feel like I've just come back from a trip back in time. And what do I find when I return? Whooda terrorizing crack whores with a machete, and the banks terrorizing Holly. What a state of affairs!
Avatar 10:30pm
Holly in NC:

I would love a machete, but I am so klutzy I suspect I would disembowel myself well before I managed to chop down bamboo or scare away crack whores.

And I'm not at all meaning to be facetious about crack whores.

@ efd & everyone - re Pop will Eat Itself - I still have huge spot in my heart for "Def Con One" - 1st song to sample Stooges? Maybe? Does anyone know?

Holly in NC:

@Mariano - Whenever I see "Satan", all I can think of is the Butthole Surfers' Sweet Loaf ...

"Daddy, what does regret mean? Well son, the funny thing about regret is,It’s better to regret something you have done, than to regret something you haven’t done. And by the way, if you see your Mom this weekend, be sure and tell her, SATAN, SATAN, SATAN!!!"

That may explain a lot about me :-)

@Mariano - Locust Abortion Technician is SOO good. I in fact opine that all Surfers releases up to & including Hairway to Steven are brilliant. Then... ick. What happened?

@Holly: Yeah, something happened. I really love Hairway too, I didn't realize till just a few years ago that John E Smoke wasn't actually live. Remember how the songs had pictures, not titles? But yeah, something happened, though I hear their live shows kept being good.

@holly the G line is a notoriously slow line which runs from south brooklyn to queens, no stops to manhattan
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:12pm
mariano:

I think last week there were two other subway suicides.
@Holly: the G is the stepchild of the MTA, only goes between Brooklyn and Queens, and oddly, one of the few direct ways of getting from south to north Brooklyn. Known for short trains, long waits, and spotty service, especially on weekends.

@nanantatee: Yeah, they always move so slow! I should note too that when I say south Brooklyn, I mean my own area, Carroll Gardens (with its own G stop!), which isn't really south Brooklyn at all, but gets called that on some maps. Maybe from back in the days before all Kings County was made coterminous with Brooklyn.

This reminds me of a one-off show I saw in a rural truck-stop converted into a music venue in South Carolina... i found a bud of bright green marijuana on the counter of the bathroom which i crumbled into a cigarette and smoked and watched this incredible band perform as I sat in an old church pew in a barn with a hay strewn floor

I grew up in southern Connecticut, ouside of New Haven, but the City was absolutely forbidden to me (this w/b 70s, early 80s).
My dad took me to Yankee Stadium once (Bucky Dent! swoon!), fam went to see Peter's Dragon & the Rockettes (?!) , girl scout troop went to see Annie, & finally my bf & I snuck onto train to Times Square to get fake ID (I chose the New School of Social Research) - we needed ID to see The Ramones - in New Haven. Also to get mudslides at Fitzwillys & sloe gin fizzes at the Norge. God those were the glory days of bartenders just not giving a shit!
