YES!

Is very funny to me as his room looks almost like mines.  
He has john Wayne, i got a star-trek´s Klingon, got a DDR-flag too, lots of chain-lights, a water-pipe and almost the same chaos! ;D

Many , MANY years ago (Almost 30.), a friend said "U2 used to be an underground band , they had that RAW guitar sound like PIL". It's true , my Brother saw them on their first US tour at a small club that probably was'nt even full. They were still "Word of mouth" and UK mags like Trouser Press writing them up.... But , I remember Bone - O calling Flock of Seagulls "Flocks and Flocks of Stealers" for lifting their guitar sound from "A Day Without Me " from "Boy" , which is probably true. They commercialized part of U2's sound , then , U2 did , so , in effect . Flock of Fleagulls , having had hits in America , first ,  sort of paved the way for U2's US conquest......Still , The Edge , as far as I can tell , got a lot of his Guitar sound by taking the "Edge " off Keith Levine's sound on the first two PIL albums.
 Either way , we can stay young of mind , U2 will NOT go away , regardless of age or irrelevance.

Bono is playing at a big benefit show in Scotland. At one point , he starts clapping his hands  , in time with the drummer, and he says , "FOR EVERY TIME I CLAP ME HANDS...ANOTHER CHILD IN AFRICA DIES !". A Scotsman near the stage replies , "THEN , WHY DOON'T YEH STOP , YEH EVIL BAHSTARD ?!!!".

"Bone Load" is pretty funny. I trust , all of you have heard the joke about BONE-LOAD performing in Scotland?  Maybe?
Glenn Barton said:

I have a friend who wouldn't understand why he's been called Bone-load in these environs. Glad to see there are others who get the same vibe.

Andy , You SAID it , and you said it so well. AS scary as the thought of Bone-O and Stink having Tantric sex  (With "The Modern Parents" probably there to advise them.) is.... Bone - O , in his egotistical self - absorption , makes like he's John Lennon Incarnate .

In a way , this is true. My Brother was in line with him , once, at a VERY posh restaurant in The Bahamas. They turned Bone-O away , because he was'nt properly attired. When my Brother told them who they'd just turned away , they just LAUGHED , and showed him a picture on the wall , saying "We turned them away , too , because they were'nt dressed." It was a picture of The Fucking Beatles. 

P.S. I think I only saw part of "The Man With Two Brains". Even though he's always worked , Martin's brand of humor wore itself thin in America....To the extent that ,
 even as far back as 1979 , when my Uncle took us to go see him , I half did'nt want to go. And , he was GREAT.

Bono's a cnut! His royal lowness will outlive life itself no doubt. Him and Sting will make sweet tantric love in the hopes of starting a race of 'super cnuts' put on this earth to bug the fuckin shit outta us with their whining. Early tests are proving positive as Chris Martin (Coldplay) and Newton Faulkner (Uber cnut) are proving haha. 'War' and 'Boy' were two great U2 albums but to mention any others with a straight face is impossible! George wrote 'Here Comes the Sun'. If ever a song would put Bono's career, bullshit and genuine lack of talent into sharp contrast, this is it. We can live in the knowledge that even if U2 last for another 100 years..... The Beatles did it first!!!

p.s The Man With Two Brains, for me was Steve Martin's finest hour (and a half)

Oh yeah, I had heard that one. It was good for another laugh, though!

The Clash...Something About England

There were a few political songs from the Ska bands that were around,"Ghost Town" by the Specials, "Stand Down Margaret" by The Beat,

to name a couple, and my favourite.....

The Specials - "It doesn't make it alright"

Everyone knows that the first UK punk groups pre-dated Margaret Thatcher's rise to Prime Minister.  Once she took power, though, and set the agenda, it seemed to rejuvenate and radicalize a second wave of bands. Probably Crass's screed against the Falklands War was the most directly confrontational, but what were some of the other well-known British political punk groups/songs of the era?

''BEAUTIFUL GARDENS"   was born out of what Lux called a six month delayed acid flashback, in which he saw spiders in his eyelids and ghosts in his sheets...set to the tune of the organ riff to "Paliades Park" by Freddie Cannon. Then , there's the reference to Jesus Franco's "Vampyros Lesbos" ......But , I would'nt say they lifted the music from anywhere. It's a standard riff , not unlike "Bertha Lou" by Dorsey Burnette" or even "Space Cowboy" by The Steve Miller Group.

The backward message was taken from The Mad Daddy's "What is a Fisteris". When played backward , it says "If I said this in English , I could turn this record into a parking lot".

Early copies of "Psychedelic Jungle" reportedly contained the message "Elvis Was Murdered " etched into the vinyl.

mAYBE cHEETAH could base his character, in part , on Archie Bunker's sideline as a Cabbie in Queens. They do share teh same last name in real life.

Exene was one of the first people I heard complain about the dearth of all ages shows , back in the early 80's. She said , in LA , they had a system , if you were underage , you could'nt get a wristband to drink alcohol , but, you could still get into shows (Not all of them ,of course.).  I had to wait until X had been through Dallas/Ft. Worth twice before I could go see them , and the drinking age was only 19 , back then.    For years , all ages shows were an afterthought. Most , if any , were held in the middle of nowhere.....Venues that did'nt serve alcohol , obviously , died the death in a year or less.....

Many years later , in Chicago , they turned a postwar bowling alley into an all ages venue. You just had to be 21 to go in the bar , but , they had soda machines in the lobby , more than a lot of all ages joints had. In fact , Exene and D.J. Bonebrake played there once with Auntie Christ.   I played there ,twice , myself , and brought my friend's 5 year old son onstage to sing "Rock 'n'Roll High School". But , I STILL met younger people who'd bitch and moan about how having one all ages venue was'nt enough.

This is'nt a quote , but , if anybody has a copy of that clip from "Rotten TV" where Roger Ebert walks up to John Lydon , and says , "OH , JOHNNY ! REMEMBER WHEN RUSS MEYER AND I TRIED TO MAKE THAT MOVIE ABOUT THE SEX PISTOLS ?" , and Johnny smiles and waves and says "Yes , yes . VERY NICE. Go away , now. Go away....".

I was at the Rock Against Reagan rally , which The Dead Kennedys played at , in Dallas in 1984.  But , I don't remember Biafra saying anything particularly quotable.

 I neglected to mention , the rally was at The Republican Covention in '84.

who else played? Hmmmm. Reagan Youth (They did "Over , Under , Sideways , Down".) , B.G.K. , Mano Negra (Dominican Reggae group.), Cause For Alarm , BOO (Dallas Punk/Dub trio.), Church of The Subgenius , Ladies Against Women (Hilarious local poltical Comedy troupe.)......and a yet - to - go into denial Michelle Shocked , who played independently of this already barely - sanctioned event , and was arrested. I REMEMBER THAT , NOT THE PART ABOUT HER GETTING BUSTED......It was'nt very good .

"It's becoming chic to be a fascist"

-Jello Biafra at the protest concert at the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco, 1984, commenting on the fact that 3/4 of the San Diego Padres pitching staff were members of the John Birch Society.

Show #416: "Bands & Artists Starting With A, Part 8"

Every 3 weeks I do a series of shows I call the "Alphabetical Series" where I randomly draw a letter of the alphabet from a hat. Whatever letter I draw, I take all the bands and artists in my collection (from the 50's, 60's & 70's only) that start with that letter and play them in strict alphabetical order one by one until I run out of time. This week I drew the letter "A". This is the eighth time I've drawn the letter "A", so I will start from where I left off on show #7 (which was with Tony Ashton & Jon Lord). So, tune in tonight (Friday at 10:00pm EST) to hear 3 hours of bands and artists that start with "A" like: Ed Askew, Asoka, The Association, The Assortment, The Astors, 2 bands called Astral Projection, The Astronauts, The Astros, The Asylum Choir, Athanor, Glenn Athens & The Trojans, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Atlantic Bridge, The Atlantic Ocean, 2 different Atlantics, Atlantis, Atomic Rooster, 2 bands called Attack, and many others!!
