    • Steve ,     I just remember two different interviews , one when Tiny Tim was still in his commercial prime .    He said "Young people are not following Christs's teachings. Even the wife and I only have S-E-X  if we're trying to have children."  No wonder she left him.

      But , I saw another interview from the 80's where he calls out younger men for not knowing how to please their women . "I can go for four or five hours , why can't they?".

      He added that peanut butter and honey was his secret ingredient.....Not before sex.

    • Unfortunately I can't remember that blog and where to find it.....in any case, if some of you up there don't know that TT's assistant and all-time friend was Erin and he evidently started the TT blog page postumously of course:), well, perhaps you don't know much about Tiny Tim:):)!!!!!

    • Maybe , next year , Rudi can play at The Chicago Bluesfest.

      They need new blood.

      Not to say Rudi is a vampire. I did see him once  , on Hallowe'en , wearing a Dracula cape.

      He asked if any women in the audience would like to help him take his cape off , saying ,

      "It's OK , I don't have AIDS.   But , I do have Herpes."

      "HERPES?!" , I said , "You're old school !!!".

    • RUDI PROTRUDI UNFUZZED

      NEW LP, RUDI PROTRUDI UNFUZZED - LIVE, OUT JUNE 26

      VIA HOUND GAWD! RECORDS

      Rudi Protrudi is known primarily for founding and fronting legendary Garage rockers, »The Fuzztones«. His career spans 44 years and has included performing and recording with various influential artists such as Sean Bonniwell (Music Machine), Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Esquirita, the Cult's Ian Astbury, The Dead Boys, Lydia Lunch, Billy Idol, Sylvain Sylvain (NY Dolls), Lenny Kaye (Nuggets compiler/Patti Smith guitarist), the Chocolate Watchband, the Pretty Things, Mark Lindsay (Paul Revere & The Raiders) and 60' Garage icon Sky Saxon (The Seeds).

      Rudi has instigated many other projects, including the first Link Wray inspired instro band, »Link Protrudi & The Jaymen«, and two solo albums in the (admittedly bent) Country vein.

      His newest project, »Rudi Protrudi Unfuzzed«, features the Garage guru in an acoustic setting, performing raw, gutbucket country delta blues and Chicago-style blues, backed by a five-piece band consisting of the best blues players in Berlin. For this recording he took the stage of Berlin‘s »Wild at Heart«, bringing a little piece of Mississippi to your turntables. Invoking the ghosts of John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and Skip James,»Rudi Protrudi Unfuzzed« transform Rock venues into crossroads Juke Joints.

      Captain Beyond is the ever - lovin' SHIT ! Possibly the last bastion of true Psych ( Before the Psych revival , that is.). So much talent , and at least two of 'em now dead , and Rod Evans basically barred from performing , or too bitter to have another go at it , after his phony Deep Purple stunt in 1980 (There's a great website about the Fake Purple US  tour.). There was a revamped version , with Bobby Caldwell, Rhino , and , sometimes , Lee Dorman (When he had time off from Iron Buterfly). I SAW SOME VIDEO ON YOU TUBE. wAS'NT CRAZY ABOUT THe SINGER. Sounded correct , otherwise. I  THINK THEY ONLY PLAYED IN EUROPE AND JAPAN.  I think ALL of their albums were good , tho' most people would disagree.

      Glad to see CB fans here:):)

      Yeah , Pink Fairies and Hawkwind are both considered the next wave of Psych , in the early 70's. Tho' both bands had a Hard Rock bent , too.....So , in that regard , they ARE comparable to Captain Beyond.

      Armageddon , with Keith Relf and Bobby Caldwell from Captain Beyond had similar starnge changes in their songs , that are like Captain Beyong , because of Caldwell's drumming. Still , they were even more on the Hard Rock tip....Apparently , they only did one gig , or a string of gigs , in LA.

      Cold Sun (Bill Miller , later with Roky Erickson and The ALIENS) , sIMPLY sAUCER , The Ya Ho Wa 13 recordings , and others epitomized early to mid - 70's Psych. Even Blue Oyster Cult's first Lp.

      I don't think most people consider The Sabs Psychedelic , but , there's songs like "Planet Caravan" that definitely are.

      Hit songs like "Jump Into The Fire" by Nilsson , "Go Back" by Crabby Appleton , "Draggin' The Line" by Tommy James , fit the bill.

      I'm no KISS fan , but , "Goin' Blind" , yep. Their version of The Stones' "2000 Man sounds more Glam than Psych to me."

      Then there's Johnny Hallyday's early 70's ''Angry Psych ' period. Sounds like a precursor to The Stranglers , with Mick Jones (Yes , later in Foreigner.) on somevery MC5ish leads.

      The Groundhogs , too , sound plenty Psychedelic to me.

      So many things , at that time , were neither fish nor fowl. Now , it's so cut and dried.

      The Hawks have maintained their psychy touch along the years:):)!!!

      The Pygmies ,    It's funny , everyone I talk to about Status Quo says they don't like the Psychedelic Pop era , only the Boogie stuff. I started out just listening to the earlier material , and , then , I was lucky enough to see QUO DOING AN EXTREMELY RARE US appearance to just several hundred people.

      THEY WERE ON FIRE !!!!! After that , I started checking out their later stuff , which I'd heard in passing , but never owned.  People asked me if they did "Matchstick Men", I TOLD 'EM , "nO , BUT THE RINGING IN MY EARS AFTER THE SHOW SOUNDED EXACTLY LIKE "PICTURES OF MATCHSTICK MEN" !

       

      I'm probably the only one on the entire planet who digs Quo's psychedelic beginnings:):):). In hot pub nite discussions on music esp with the young 'uns, they just don't get and accept that Quo used to be a psych band back in the day....like most UK rock bands including Black Sabbath....yes, the fathers of metal themselves (RJD too in the Elves:):)!!). I can't stand disco crap songs like Whatever you want or the crappier no-rock tunes of the late 80s and early 90s by Quo. Even Rossi has sold out to crappy dance music....go figure :):)
