Thanks for the  thanks , kopper , and anyone else... I'm going to try to call Dana , Roky's wife , in a little while , and ask how the baby is doing. I'm sure things are fine , but affirmationing never hurt a body , none. John.

Roky Erickson , now "The Singing Grandfather".

Roky's Son , Jegar , and his fiancee , Kaylee , are now the proud parents of a baby boy. When I saw the couple , touring with Roky, recently , Kaylee said she was due late this month. They had already planned to name their child Julian. Jegar was clearly over the moon.

Jegar and Kaylee have , for some time , been founding members of Roky's fine present - day backing band , The Hounds of Baskerville , a pretty spiffy lil' Horror Rock BAND FROM TEXAS , themselves. IF AND WHEN THEY'LL BE ABLE TO RETURN TO THE FOLD IS UNCERTAIN. What IS certain is that two cooler people could'nt be asked to uphold the heritage of one of Rock's greatest songwriters and spokesmen.

"I hear the sound of feet , of dancing in the street , I hear the bells ringing , the sounds of people singing. A new day has begun , a new life has been born....

wait fot my love ...wait....change is coming on , I've got a feeling it won't be long" ("Wait For My Love" , 13THE FLOOR ELEVATORS.)

Thanks, that will be no problem.

No, although you may see some duplication of episodes for a while as the old ones are reposted.

Thanks Kopper. I subscribe through iTunes, will that require a change when they get goign again?

Yeah, that's because the geniuses behind Mevio came out of nowhere and pulled the plug on that site. They gave us like a 2-week notice, so we've had to scramble to change the way we're doing things, save old episodes, etc. If you're subscribed to the main GPPR feed, you should start seeing new episodes showing up again soon:

Just curious but there seems to have been a slow down in shows. Has there been some change or just not as many people doing new shows?

Thanks.

Hehe, I wholeheartedly agree with all of ya!

I ONLY LEARNED , RECENTLY , THAT CUB KODA (AKA KING USZNIEWICZ) BOUGHT A SAX IN A PAWN SHOP, AND HE OR ONE OF THE FICTIONAL USZNIEWICZTONES ( EX -MEMBERS OF THE ALARM CLOCKS , THEN ROADIES FOR BROWNSVILLE STATION ) PLAYED THE INSTRUMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME , AND A LEGEND WAS BORN ! COURTNEY SHOULD BE MADE TO LISTEN TO THE KING AGAINST HER WILL !!!!!!!!!!! (EXCUSE THE CAPS. IT'S LATE.)

.....and such a truly skilled saxophonist at that.

Haha, perfect! I love King Uszniewicz.

Tout a note Courtney, cuz it's KING UZ and his wailin' SAX!

(I'm out in the green and my computer thing don't want to embed)

could'nt access the video, only some "Radical" Hip Hop that's probably already IN the Hall of Fame , either. While Clarence Clemons was a fine musician , I CARE NOT SHIT ONE ABOUT BRUCE AND The Street Band. Just not my bag. Saw 'em in '80 , and thought they killed it , but that was then , and now it's today. I've neve rpurchased anything by Springsteen , BTW, did'nt feel a need to , you can hear him anywhere.

BUT , SAXOPHONES DON'T BELONG IN ROCK'N'ROLL ?!!!!!

JOE HOUSTON , JOHNNY AND THE HURRICANES , LITTLE RICHARD ,THE TRENIERS , FATS DOMINO , THE SONICS , THE VISCOUNTS , THE THUNDER ROCKS , SAM BUTERA AND THE WITNESSES , THE BLASTERS , LOUIS JORDAN , IKE TURNER'S KINGS OF RHYTHM , BARRENCE WHITFIELD AND THE SAVAGES , DICK HECKSTALL - SMITH , BIG JAY MCNEELEY , MACEO PARKER , BOBBY KEYES , SCREAMIN' JAY HAWKINS , RAY CHARLES (THE LATTER TWO ALSO PLAYED SAX.) , HAWKWIND , STEVEN MCKAY , THE WAILERS , BULLMOOSE JACKSON , JESSE SCINTO , EARL BOSTIC , HANK CRAWFORD , THE WASTE KINGS , HANOI ROCKS , JAMES CHANCE , SOUNDS INC. , DAVE CLARK FIVE , PAUL REVERE AND THE RAIDERS , FREDDIE BELL AND THE BELL BOYS , BILL HALEY AND THE COMETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of these examples are less Rock'n'Roll than others , agreed , they're just the first ones that came off the top of my head...... EACH are more Rock 'n'Roll than HOLE or solo Courtney could dream of being.    Hole is one male member short (No elusions to sexism or bad puns meant of being a Riot Grrrrrrl band.) , and , I GUESS , CONSIDERABLE MAJOR LABEL SUPPORT , away from being a Riot Grrrrrrl band.   it's Courtney that has no place in Rock'n'Roll , tho' , up to this moment , she has'nt annoyed me in a very long time . I mean , really , how much  further from relevance , even in THEIR world , can she be , these days ?  

NIRVANA'S IN THE HALL , LINK WRAY WILL PROBABLY NEVER BE. THAT'S PROGRESS.

The twit has prob never even listened to Exile on Main Street. 

I sing that chorus as "Oh Bondage, Yes Please!"

You know she don't care...... (

I don't mean to hole-bash (I refuse to capitalize it), but when she showed up on the cover of Rolling Stone immediately following Kurt's death looking all come-hither, sexy I was thoroughly disgusted.   I would think if someone you loved died, no less killed themselves, you'd be a little too distraught to be granting interviews to the big name Rock n Roll mags.  I knew people that had demonstrated to me her said theory of "making it" to fame and I thought it was just, y'know hole = bashing men-folk talk, but seeing is believing. 

P.S. O Bondage Up Yours! (yes, X-Ray Specs):  very VERY excellent sax solo as Rock 'N Roll as ever.

Hahahahaha.....couldn't agree more Kopper!!!!
