You saw The CBGB's movie? I had'nt heard anything about it since MIKEL mentioned Eugene O'Connor , the pissed - off , Punk - hating Cab Driver some six months ago. I know what you mean about coming up with laundry lists of historical innacuracies , tho' Spike Lee beat these guys to the punch with "Summer of Sam", CBGBs Punk rockers with giant mohawks , liberty spikes , and green hair , in 1977 ! I asked my Sister - in - Law , who went to CB's , Max's , etc. , as early as 1976 , if she EVER saw a mohawk in New York in '77. She said MAYBE RICHIE STOTTS WAS WORKING ON HIS VERY FIRST ONE , BUT , IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FLAT , TRAVIS BICKEL NUMBER. That's so weird about using Joey's solo material. I'd have rather just heard a band trying to approximate The Ramones sound , if they could'nt get the rights to their back catalogue , even though I like Joey's posthumous solo albums.
Maybe , just like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" , this movie will (Or has?) bomb (ed) so badly , that in later years it'll make the rounds at Mdnight Movies (Already an almost non - entity , I know...) , and "enhancements" like John Waters Odorama cards that smell like urine , will be passed out.

Wipeout ! Not much is ever said about Lou and John's Pickwick Record days. There's probably a book , there.
I still like The Downliners Sect's version , better , but both versions are historical....
When I first saw The Sect , they said they just lucked onto a demo of "Smile" and decided to cover it.

OK, for some reason, I can't attach the photos to my post. Nevermind.
Everytime I visit the Warhol museum I go in with an MP3 player and headphones to be sure I listen to Bowie's Andy Warhol, and side one of the 1969 VU live album so I get "What Goes On".

Here are some pictures I took of Reed when he was at the Warhol Museum here in Pittsburgh back in 2007.

Smile on, Lou...

Yeah, this sucks. RIP, Lou.

Vicious :(

Love him or hate him, Lou influenced all of us.
I know I'll miss him.

I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE. IT'S EVEN FUNNIER THE SECOND TIME AROUND. LUX WAS , AND IVY IS , A VEGETARIAN , SO , I FIGURED THAT WAS WHY THEY HAD SOME FUN WITH THE MCDONALD'S APPLICATION.......WHEN IN REALITY , THEIR BURGERS ARE MORE GRISTLE THAN MEAT.
The Mrs. Grindsnatch joke might have been a reference to Julien Griensnatch , who briefly replaced Bryan Gregory....no , I don't think that was her REAL name , either.....

Has anyone seen or looking forward to seeing AKA Doc Pomus. Heard a interview with the movie 's creator on NPR. Sounded like a good one.
Here is the movies website http://akadocpomus.com/
I always thought "Young Blood" was one of the best radio friendly suggestive songs ever.

Here's one , the New Orleans Jangle Punk / Garage band (Who did a very good set , recently at the Ponderosa Stomp.)
recorded "Rebecca Rodifer" 1n 1967 , a song about a back - alley abortion , a good 10 years before The Sex Pistols did "Bodies".....possibly a bit more graphic , too. They lifted the chorus from The Everly Bros.' "Gone , Gone , Gone " , too. Look it up on You Tube.

I just thought of another Un-PC garage rock ditty:
"Come into My Mouth" by the Headcoatees.
I could never look at Holly Golightly the same after hearing that record!
The flip side "Fish Pie" is a pre-war blues style double entendre number. Good stuff. If I recall correctly, it came out on Sympathy for the Record Industry (SFTRI) in the mid-90's.
