Just saw a picture of Jimi on [blog Greyblue1] and the words to Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower” and I had to write a comment on his post. I figured I would expand on that comment and add it as a post here.
Original comment: I was cleaning up the room where I have all my CDs and comics and I came across a book that I had bought over a decade ago, but completely forgot that I had (this happens all the time, I have so many books and CDs).
It's called "Jimi Hendrix An Illustrated Experience."
Comes with a 70 minute CD that includes previously (at the time) unreleased live recordings plus an extended studio Jam session.
To me, it's like I found gold!
When I bought music I had a tendency to hold off on listening to it for a while. I would go months, sometimes years before I listened to it. Once I listened to it I would continue to do so every day for a few weeks and then forget about it, move on to the next CD.
I do the same with clothes. However, I tried doing the same with books but never had what it took. I guess growing up poor made me a saver.
Anyway, I’ve had this book with a live performance and other performances by one of my favorite musicians, and I’ve never listened to it.
I’m sure I’ll remedy that in a short while and, of course, I’ll begin reading the book.
I’ve had people telling me what they consider to be Jimi’s best CD like, his “Band of Gypsys” CD, or the “Are You Experienced” CD.
But my favorite Hendrix CD is one simply titled “Blues.”
From what I read, long after, this was a posthumous release, with 6 of the songs previously, at the time, unreleased. 7 of the songs were original compositions.
That CD would be in my player every Saturday night before I went to bed, and it would start automatically and wake me every Sunday morning. I would lie there until the end and then replay "Hear My Train A Comin'" (electric; live), a 12 minute plus beauty.
It was the only song on the CD that was messed up; so I had to get another copy (that was before I had a computer or knew anything about Napster and stuff like that.)
Now I just listen to this copy on rare, almost special, occasions.
Well, I hear my train a comin’, so, until next time… see ya!

Chinese woman arranges sex romp with mysterious online lover.
This was stolen from the internet page of a New York newspaper:
A Chinese woman arranged a hot sex blind date with a mysterious online lover.
Lili, 28, and Wang Pai, 57, were both using fake profiles when they started talking in an Internet chat room.
After hitting it off, and unaware of each other's true identity, they agreed to meet in person — at a hotel in Heilongjiang province, northeast China — for some raw, passionate loving.
But when a scantily clad Lili opened the door to her room, she was stunned to see who was at the door.
The mysterious suitor was her own find her father-in-law.
Then — to make matters even worse — her husband, Wang Jai, turned up after reading her emails, punched her in the face and attacked his pop.
"When I opened the door, I don't know if she was more surprised or me," said Pai.
"She turned and ran off down the hallway into her husband, my , who had been following her. He started shouting and then he attacked her, and then he attacked me," he said.
Jai — who allegedly knocked out two of his wife's teeth and gave his father a head injury that required hospital treatment — was arrested and held for five days.
I can honestly say I feel sorry for her, but I also find it hilarious. I've always had a strange sense of humor!

Misplaced Jealousy

Continuing from last week, trying to maintain consistency.
Here comes another Oldie but Goodie, from the days when sex was kept behind closed doors, and oral sex was a novelty.
The group was called The Rays and this song of misplaced jealousy was written by Jeremy Penick, Ryan Burchfield, Daniel Noonan, and Gordon Heckaman.
If you’ve never heard this one before, well, at least you’ll see the skillful manner in which a short story can be told in a very few words.
Silhouettes
Took a walk and passed your house
Late last night,
All the shades were pulled and drawn
Way down tight.
From within, a dim light cast
two silhouettes on the shade
Oh, what a lovely couple they ma-ade.
Put his arms around your waist
Held you tight
Kisses I could almost taste
In the night
Wondered why I'm not the guy
whose silhouettes on the shade.
I couldn't hide the tears in my eye-eyes.
Silhouettes silhouettes silhouettes
Ty-oh, oh-oh,
Silhouettes silhouettes silhouettes,
Ty-oh, oh-oh.
Lost control and rang your bell,
I was sore.
Let me in or else I'll beat
Down your door.
When two strangers who had been
two silhouettes on the shade
Said, to my shock: “You're on the wrong blo-ock!”
Rushed down to your house with wings
On my feet.
Loved you like I never loved
You my sweet.
Vowed that you and I would be
two silhouettes on the shade
All of our days,
two silhouettes on the sha-ade.
Silhouettes silhouettes silhouettes
Ty-oh, oh-oh
Silhouettes silhouettes silhouettes,
Ty-oh, oh-oh
Two silhouettes on the shade
Silhouettes!

Sapphic (should be Phallic) Design

Whenever I stop in the pharmacy I can't help but notice how many of the feminine items, deodorant, shampoo, etc; have that phallic design. Is it just co-incidence or are they designed as dual purpose accessories?
I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed!

Today, it's my own work that I feature!
The ties that bind are there for a reason
And I love what it does for you,
it’s there on others but it’s not the same
it defines on you an image so true.
My fetish has nothing to do with feet
so it may be hard to get what I see.
But the images I view when I see you
it really turns up the heat.
What do I think about your toes? Well,
don’t be surprised when I say
I didn’t even realize that you had those,
my eyes aren’t designed that way.
To be honest fetishes does nothing for me
I’m vanillarly sexual in nature.
Give me the missionary or regular cowboy and
you’ll get your money’s worth in pleasure.
But it doesn’t really mean that I would refuse
an offer to share my body with you.
Just because you lean to the extreme
doesn’t mean I can’t share your view.

"Life, Love & Hope" - Boston

I'm so excited I'm not even doing a draft before I post this one.
The group Boston is releasing their first album in over 10 years on December 3, titled "Life, Love & Hope."
I had drafted a post a few weeks ago trying to find out if anyone on A.F.F. had any info about them but never posted figuring that I wouldn't get any suitable response.
After Brad, their former lead singer had committed suicide I kinda figured the group might call it quits. I was somewhat consoled by the fact that I could still hear their music (I have their CDs), but I am a big fan of their live performances. I've been to a few of their shows (front row at that; on tour opening at that).
Hell! One of my college papers was actually about the group and their lead singer.
As Tom Scholz, founder and guitarist says, "These are songs from the heart, each of them taking many months of effort to write, arrange, perform and record, always up to the demands of Boston's harshest critic, me.”
Some of the songs will include vocals from Brad Delp, the original lead singer, and also new singer Tommy DeCarlo.

Time to Grow

A double Haiku: It’s now time to grow,
To make your way through the dirt
See where you will go.
A trim here and there
Disposing of an old life.
No time for despair.
|
|
These words were stolen from
honeysuckle9397 who constantly encourages my creativity. I was trying to convert her words into a Haiku but, as you can see, I end up utilizing mostly the same words. (You could say I rewarded her encouragement my stealing from her.  )
Maybe with more time I can do something better.

This Is What I'm Talking "Bout...

in my previous post:
I love listening to the words in music, I love poetry, I love listening to people talk (except people who talk too much); so it's only natural that I would be drawn to music that are lyrically exceptional, and even funny.
heard this one listening to Outlaw Country today!
That's The Way The Girls Are From Texas
Well, I met a girl from Texas 'bout a year ago
Hadn't known her for too long when I had to let her go
You see, she had a razor, was ten inches or so
And every night you'd hear her knocking at my door
She said, "Baby, I'll give you the clothes on my back
You can have everything that I've got in my shack
But if you ever try to leave they'll take your out in sack
'Cause me and my razor will see to that"
I thought about my situation, decided not to tarry
For my own self preservation I decided we should marry
When the preacher started reading 'bout 'till death do us part
I told him, "Skip it, we had that understanding right from the start"
That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas
(Houston to San Antonio)
That's the way the girls are from Texas
(Got to love 'em right or leave'em alone)
Well, we settled down, got me a little old job, '65 Fairlane Ford
Every Friday night I would stop in and cash my pay check down at the grocery store
They had a little girl worked in there, must have been about seventeen
She was the cutest thing I had ever seen
It's the same old story and I'm afraid it wasn't too very long
Before we had fallen deeply in love and I knew it was wrong
I said baby, we got to stop this thing right here
Or my woman is gonna cut my throat from ear to ear, that's right
With tearful supplication, she looked up in my face
I could feel her heart was breaking as these sad words she did say
"You should have told me you was married, baby
She pulled out a forty-five and let me have it, right smack between the eyes
She was guilty, I was dead
Now, what'd you think that the old judge said ?
"Ah, that's just the way the girls are down here in Texas"
"Case dismissed!"
That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas (Houston to San Antonio)
That's the way the girls are from Texas
(Got to love 'em right or leave'em alone, boy)

I used to do this once in the earlier days but, typical of my mercurial personality, I guess I got bored (or lazy) and I moved on. I think I figured I wouldn't be able to consistently find the things I'm looking for.
But I see other people here doing their stuff and they seem to consistently be able to find what they're looking for; maybe I gave up too easily Rantings of a Satyr, The Road To Perdition, All the Cool Have Blogs, [blog iamupforfun2], to name a few.
It is going to be harder in the next couple of months but I've never really given up on anything without a fight. So, I've got my dukes up!
I know: "What the hell is he talking about?"
I'm talking about the songs that I would occasionally put up on here, not because of their popularity (most were from way back), but because of their skillful composition, and funny disposition, which I usually found to be very interesting.
If there are anyone looking for current popular songs which are skillfully and interestingly put together, I don't think those exist (current being the key word).

Marilyn Monroe... the new (old) face of CHANEL No. 5!
Wow! Talk about a second act.
You're not going to believe this, but I smelt Chanel (the original scent) for the first time about a month ago. Not knowing what it was, I chased the lady that had sprayed it on to ask her what scent it was. She said: "Classic Chanel."
Had no clue what she was talking about until one of the sales-people told me it was the original No.5.
Would Chanel and a nice piece of jewelry be ideal for Christmas, or do I need more?

Jim Irsay (of the Indianapolis Colts) always seem to come up with some comments that seem designed to be digs at Peyton Manning.
It makes me wonder if he's somewhat jealous of the fact that Peyton receives so many favorable accolades (except one), while nobody really talks about him.
I've heard that he's a really funny, affable type of guy, but still he does this from time to time.
Who knows? Maybe this is just some kinda running gag between them both. But since he's back-tracking, maybe not!
At least, he got his cake and ate it too (kept his $28 million, and drafted Andrew Luck? A luckier man has never been born!) |

Sexless?

I was reading a blog where this lady was complaining about her sexless marriage. Apparently before getting hitched she never had problems getting hitched.
It reminds me of the conversations between my friends and I. I used to boast about our sex sessions/marathons, laughing at them as such because their wives had reduced the frequency of their coming together. I never had that problem.
They used to tell me to laugh all I want because as soon as we were married her legs would close. But they were wrong.
But I know my wife. As far as she’s concerned, she’s always ready, never once tell me NO; therefore (in her view) I have no excuse to be running around outside.
Thing is, now that we’re married, I’m the one who seems to have slowed down. My friends say I seem to have gender confusion, or seem to have a problem defining our roles since I’m not the one who’s supposed to be holding back, and she shouldn’t be the one who has to complain.
Strangely enough, it’s consideration for her why I’ve slowed down, mainly because our work times don’t match up too well (she’s a nurse) and she’s always asleep when I’m awake.
