.........Greetings and Salutations,.....It's Always a Pleasure to see all of You again,.....My Wayward Flock of Fallen Angels,.....So pull a chair, and make yourselves right Home,.....I've got "Houses of the Holy" on the box,..... So, Sit Back, Relax and Enjoy the Special Music,......Tonight's post is Part One of a Two Part story I've been sort of dragging My feet on for quite some time now......Sometimes I feel with a story like this, it's best to just write it, and throw it out there to stand on it's own,....Scars, Worts, and All......Rather than Brooding and Procrastinating over it, rewriting This and , in an attempt to get Everything Just Perfect,.....Which is what happened here, and Needless to Say, It's Far from Perfect,.....Overanalyzing these things almost Never turns out as being either Productive, or Healthy, for matter,.........
.........I happened to borrow the name for this story from the celebrated novel by the Nihilistic Blackly Comedic French writer Louis Ferdinand Celine, and granted his novel "Journey to the End of the Night" is probably one of his most recognized works,.....I've always been more of a fan of "Death on the Installment Plan" and besides, I felt for this particular story,....It kind of Fit......Meanwhile, the name I've decided to use for part one, "They it Stormy Tuesday" is of course a on the Classic Delta Blues song by a Personal Favorite of mine, the Blues Man, Mr. Elmore James, the guitar prodigy of none other than Mr. Robert Johnson, the man who walked on down to the crossroads to Sell his Soul to Satan Almighty, in exchange for the ability to Strum Guitar like an Angel fallen from Heaven,.......
.........Well,.....Alrighty Then,.....Before I Digress any further, allow to tell You, the story You are about to read is Absolutely the Truth,.....A brief look into my Checkered Past. Of course I've changed the names of all the Innocent people,.....As well as all of the Unsavory Criminals involved Too,.....But in All Honesty, there's Nobody who's truly Innocent in this Chaotic Tale of Insanity,.....And So,.....Without Further Ado,.....I Present Part One, to You all,.....My Angels, and My Devils,.....So Please,.....Sit Back, Relax, Get Comfortable, and Help Yourself out to some of My Disaster,.......

"Good and bad, I define these terms,
So clear, no doubt, somehow,
Ah, but I was so much older then,
younger than now."
~ Bob Dylan ~ "My Back Pages"
"It was a moment he remembered for after,
As though a special small slice had been cut from the cake of time."
~ Stephen King ~ "Salem's Lot"
.........If I remember correctly there was a ton of snow too, Storm after Storm,.....And looking back on bitterly cold and snowy winter,.....Now almost Twenty gone, is a Scary reminder of just how Fleeting time can be. It's a funny thing when You think about it, Time, is a lot like Snow, once it finally begins to melt away it will often reveal things long buried and forgotten,.....Memories suddenly laid bare in the Startling Sunlight of our Conscious. And on bitter winter nights like these, when the temperature hovers in the teens, and You can hear the freezing wind whipping through the eves,.....It can sometimes seem like those long ago winters of yesteryear have back to haunt you, like some senile ghost of times long past,.....Forcing You to confront things sometimes best left unremembered..........
.........So, looking back now, like Lots wife, glancing over My shoulder the Sodom and Gahmora of My youth,.....Way back, to a strange period in All of our Lives,.....A time when we were trapped in Awkward age between 18 an 21,.....Which is a Particularly Peculiar time in life,.....A time only the Tragically Young can truly and honestly bitch about. It's Mystical Age where childhood terminates, and life begins to rear it's ugly head,........
.........In Retrospect,.....I think what's worse is it's a time in your life where You never fully realize until it's to late, maybe You should have better held onto those magical moments and forgotten places a little bit tighter,.....Instead of letting it all slip through Your grasp like a warm sunny summer day......Like maybe You should have Enjoyed Innocence for the short time it was within Your grasp,.....Right before the world ripped away it's seemingly pleasant veneer to reveal what it Really has to Offer......A time when Everything was still right there in front of You. Six lanes wide and no heavy traffic in sight.
.........Way back then in distant time and corner of my life, I was only about six months from getting my first and only fake ID,.....And it had only been about six short months since the United States Army Airborne Division had given my brother his Twenty One Gun Salute, and handed over a folded flag to his 18 widow in an effort to better assuage her pain and ease her loss. Since then I had gotten into the habit of passing the majority of My week nights the neighborhood Pool Hall. Drowning myself in Tequila, and ingesting whatever chemicals happened to along in an attempt to better assuage My pain, and ease My loss.........
.........The Pool Hall in question was called "The Blue Velvet" after a David Lynch movie, and just so you didn't miss this overtly cinematic reference, on the wall behind the counter, between a rack of "For Sale Only" discount pool cues, and a standing glass door soda cooler, hung a big black and white framed poster of Dennis Hopper's leering madman Frank,.....Pistol in one hand, Oxygen Mask in the other, looking like he could jump right out of the picture and happily put a bullet in Your brain pan,.........
.........When I first met Spanish Scott, he was running the joint,.....And it was the Perfect job for him.....The Cat was a part time pool hustler, and a full time ladies man, who possessed a Devil-May-Care attitude......Nothing ever seemed to bother Scott, he took it all in stride, and let All of life's little Shit Storms just roll off of his back, like he didn't have a care in the world, and life was nothing but a Big Fuckin Joke,......And I guess back then it had seemed, until recently it mostly was. Scott had nerve, and attitude, and balls enough to spare. He didn't rattle easily, and he was hopelessly lost in love with all of the finer staples of a youth misspent, like Strong Drink, Fast Cars, Easy , Extremely Potent Marijuanna, Lose Women, and Pure Cocaine,.....So,.....Needless to Say,.....We got along Famously,.......
.........The Owner of "The Velvet" was an aging Yippie named Sam. He was a giant of a man, standing an easy six foot six, and somewheres in the neighborhood of Three Hundred pounds, all distributed evenly across his back and shoulders, his arms, and huge barrel chest. And Despite his peaceful and generally sunny disposition, No One wanted to upset man unnecessarily. And with his full head of shaggy blonde hair, and his big bushy beard he had always reminded of an aging, but still very dangerous lion. I held a fondness for Sam the Lion, since about three prior, when he had sold all of his Rolling Stones albums. Shortly thereafter I would listen to "Exile on Main St." on My scratchy phonograph, and my life was irrevocably changed Forever. Sam was a Cool Cat indeed, and as long as the Pool Hall made , kept Sam happy,.....And as long as Sam was happy, he barely felt the to show "The Velvet" All,.....And was Good for Everyone involved.........
.........Because, on any given night there was likely to be Any and All sorts of After Hours illegal activities taking place behind the locked doors of "The Blue Velvet" Most times it was games of high stakes pool ( age $1000 a game was high to Us) but sometimes it'd be a big poker game, but there was also wagering on the occasional fist fights the high school burn outs, and the neighborhood toughs would get into in the back alley. Not to mention the bottles of Mad 20/20 and Tequila I kept hidden in the Men's room drop ceiling, or the Cocaine Buffet Spanish Scott would regularly serve in the back office, the thousands of joints got smoked in the parking lot, or the Many girls got fucked on the eight foot tables all the way in the back corner of the Hall. (their four foot width put the corner pockets the perfect distance to be able to comfortably place your feet for Maximum Thrust.) And don't forget the thousands and thousands of dollars changed hands illegally as a result of it all. We both felt the less Sam knew about any of this, the better off Everyone Involved would be,.....Especially Sam the Lion,.........
.........And So,.....When I walked into the "The Velvet" on Cold and Blustery Tuesday evening in February, with the still falling snow silently covering the town in a virgin white veil, and as the wind threatened to pull the heavy glass door from my grasp with a freezing gust, I was hoping to find a little comfort, warmth, and some friendly companionship, preferably of the female persuasion......Basically,.....A night Filled with the kind of Endless Possibilities only a Nineteen with his Left pocket jammed full of Controlled Dangerous Substances, and his Right pocket stuffed full of can anticipate, much less Hope for..........
.........However, as is often the case in life, the possibilities are Seldom ours to Choose,.....The Decision Not our Own, and we Rarely, if Ever, get what We had planned for.......So, even before the door had slammed closed behind me, I was brought to the realization I was about to be Swept into a Scene of Unmitigated Chaos......Because, just beyond the row of arcade machines blocked the front counter from my line of sight, I could hear Somebody angrily screaming out a litany of the Foulest curses I'd ever heard. Almost immediately I recognize the voice as of Grumpy Bill, One of "The Blue Velvet's" time regulars. Grumpy was one of the local neighborhood Alcoholic Shell Shocked War Veterans. He seemed to be screaming down Death, Destruction, and Eternal Damnation on Scott over the Sheer Audacity of not only being Refused the establishments services,.....Due to his Advanced State of Inebriation, but also over the fact he was being thrown out of the place. It was , I think, was what had Enraged him the Most.........
.........It was an Ugly and Shocking spectical to accidentally stumble into, and as I got closer to the center of the maelstrom, I noticed Most of the patrons were standing around transfixed, watching the scene unravel with looks of Nervous Curiosity. Normally, Grumpy Bill was just a Harmless Drunk,.....a little Foul Tempered, Sure, but every once in a while, there'd be an occasion when he'd go a few drinks past even his distant finish line, and would be when his P.T.S.D, along with the Alcohol, and coupled with his Acute Persecution Complex would transform him into a Mean, Nasty, Incoherently Screaming, Stumbling Terror, the focus of All the worlds many Injustices,........
.........What I didn't Realize, was I had inadvertently just walked Smack into the middle of Grumpy Bill's Maximum Opus. The Excrement had the Air conditioner, and the Proverbial Straw had apparently Smashed the Camel's Back.....And Now, Good Billy was was throwing a Grand Mol Shit Storm of Potentially Biblical Proportions. I could tell all of this by the sound of his increasingly Shrill Pitched Screams, which were now getting loud enough they could be heard over the "Rage Against the Machine" song blaring out of the jukebox, and they were making people start to head for the Emergency Exit against the back wall, to which we had long since disconnected the safety alarm, in an attempt to flee this Hellish scene before it went completely Out of Control, and the Police arrived to sort the Mess out, and start asking questions before they decide who to arrest. One thing was Certain, things were Rapidly beginning to Circle the Drain,.....And even back then, at Tender Age, I was Fully Aware of how these sort of things seemed to have a way of Rapidly Spiraling Out of Control in the Worst kind of Ways,.....And So,.....With , I lowered my head, and made my way towards the very Center of the Storm,.......
.........And So,..... brings us to the end of Part One,.....So, Be sure to Stay Tuned, My Deliciously Deviant of the Darkness.....Part Two will be sometime over the weekend, So,.....Until then,.....Get Out There, and Sin for Me, My Lovelies,.....And if You should for some reason ,.....You Know just Where to Find ,.....I'll be right Here,.....Where you left ,......

"Obnoxious Joe comes on the screen,
Along with his guest, self righteous Sam,
And one more guy who doesn't count,
His hair and his clothes are too far out."
"While pushing back his glasses,
Sam is saying casually, "I was elected by the Masses."
And with in mind, he starts to unwind
A vicious attack upon the finest of grasses."
~ Steppenwolf ~ "Dont Step on the Grass Sam."

.........Greatings All,...And a Happy HNW to Everyone,....Albeit a little late,.....But Hey,.....What The Fuck, Right?.....By now Most of You know Me well enough to know that it's Rare that operate in a Timely Fashion,.....This weeks theme, was Aquamarine, Which, for Me was a little tough.

"In the silk sheet of time
I will find piece of mind
Love is a bed full of blues."
~ Jagger/Richards ~ "I've got the blues for you."
.........Well Hello Again!.....My Angels,.....My Devils,.....It's Always So Nice to see all of You once more!.....I Trust that this posting finds All of You at your most Sinful,.....Rest assured it does Me,.....Idle Hands You Know,.....So come now,.....Sit,.....Relax for a bit,.....Tonight's Post is kind of a Break from The Club's latest dozen or so,....You see,.....My Faithful Flock, every so often, and Admittedly Not as frequently as I'd like lately. I enjoy doing a post on something that I love,.....And I do mean Love, even more than I Love Hips, Lips, and Fingertips,.....I like to these Sinners Club post, "The Best of the Beast."
.........The first one I did was about "The Last Waltz" The post was titled "One of the Days that the Music Died" and admittedly, it still stands as One of My favorite Sinners Club blog posts. The second one I did was about a cleverly done low budget horror movie frightfest called "The Devil's Rock" In case any of you want to check them out, the first one is on page 8 of this blog, while the second one is located on page 5.......Regardless, I've decided to make The Rolling Stones ground breaking album "Sticky Fingers" Three,.....And So, I Present to You,.....The Third Installment of The Sinners Club Feature,.........
-|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- THE BEST OF THE BEAST -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|- -|-
.........Released on April 23rd, 1971, The Rolling Stones eleventh studio album "Sticky Fingers" received immediate critical acclaim. Containing such chart topping hits as "Brown " and the country ballad "Wild Horses" as well as the Latin inspired two-part "Can't You Hear Knocking?" The album would #1 on the British Music Charts in May of 1971, and remain there for four weeks, before returning again to the #1 spot for a week in mid June of the same year. The album would also #1 in America on The Bilboard Music Chart, and would also remain there for four weeks.
........."Sticky Fingers" was a first on many levels for The Rolling Stones, it was the first album to Not feature Any contributions from former guitarist and founding member Brian Jones. While also becoming their first album to feature a full length appearance from New Guitarist Mick Taylor, formerly of John Mayall's Blues Breakers. It was also the bands first album to singer Mick Jagger on playing guitar. But perhaps Most Importantly,....."Sticky Fingers" was The Stones first record to be put on the bands new record label, "Rolling Stones Records" as well as being the bands first use of their now Infamous Tongue and Lips logo.
.........As the Sixties ground to an end, so to did The Rolling Stones contract with the Decca/London record label. This would leave the band free to be able to release their albums as they pleased, cover art and all. However, soon to be Former Manager, Allen Klein dealt the a and creative blow, when the discovered that they had Inadvertently signed over their Entire Sixties copyrights to Klein's company ABKCO Records. This is how all of the bands material, from 1963's "Come On" all the way to 1969's "Get Yer Ya-Ya's , The Rolling Stones in Concert." is still released on ABKCO Records. When Decca informed The Stones that they were still owed a single, The band submitted the song "Cocksucker Blues" Instead, Decca released the two year old "Beggars Banquet" song "Street Fighting Man" while Klein received dual copyright ownership on "Brown " and "Wild Horses" "Sticky Fingers" two singles. The Stones would remain odds with Klein for Decades afterward.
.........As for the Infamous "Sticky Fingers" album cover, The vinyl release came with a working zipper and mock belt buckle that when opened revealed a pair of cotton briefs. The bands name is printed in red along the image of the belt, While behind the belt the briefs were seemingly stamped in gold, with the name of the American Pop Artist Andy Warhol, which read, "THIS PHOTOGRAPH MAY NOT BE - ECT." While the artwork was conceived by Warhol, the photography was handled by Billy Name, and the designed by Craig Braun. The actual cover model remains unknown, first it was assumed to be Mick Jagger, but Warhol had several different men photographed and reportedly Jagger wasn't one of them. Warhol never revealed the shots he used, but among the candidates are Jed Johnson, Warhol's then lover, his twin brother Jay is a possibility. "Name Factory" designer James Tippin is also a likely possibility, while Warhol "Superstar" Joe Dellesandro insists that he was the actual model.
.........Initially the retailers complained that the zipper was causing damage to the vinyl during shipping. The zipper was then partially unzipped to the middle of the record to minimize damages. In Spain however the original cover was censored as offensive, and replaced with the less offense "Can of severed bloody women's fingers" cover. The song "Sister Morphine" was replaced with a live version of Chuck Berry's "Let it Rock" which wouldn't be released until 2005 on the "Rarities 1971-2003" album.
........."Sticky Fingers" received positive reviews, Robert Hillburn of "The Los Angeles Times" proclaimed it the best rock album of the year. Jon Landau of "Rolling Stone Magazine" gave it Five Stars, Robert Christgau of "The Village Voice" mused that the decadent album may be The Stones best, and Lester Bangs declared that it was his most played album of the year. The album would go on to achieve a Triple Platinum Certification, and was named "The Greatest Album Cover of All Time" in 2003 by the music channel VH1. "Sticky Fingers" has become one of The Rolling Stones best albums to date, and was also a watershed moment for The Greatest Rock&Roll Band in the World.
.........On a more personal note,.....When I can listen to an album, twenty years after I initially heard it, and still feel the exact same Excitement and Wonderment that I did that first time, then that's how I know that it's something truly exceptional and undeniably great. Something that has transcended time and remained unchanged, yet Completely Awesome,.....So, if ever You're feeling the Longing for some Down and Dirty, Boogie Woogie, Rock and Blues Stomp, I Strongly Suggest that You give it a listen,.....And, if by chance You don't already own a copy,.....Well then, Run Immediately and Beg, Borrow, Or Steal yourself One,.....And if You do already own it, then You should already be pressing PLAY as I finish writing this,......

~ "The British Mathematician Stephen Hawking, in his 1988 best seller "A Brief History of Time", found it tantalizing that we could not remember the future. But remembering the future is 's play for me now. I know what will become of my helpless, trusting babies because they are grown-ups now. I know how my close friends will end up because so many of them are retired or dead now. Mary O'Hare is a widow now. I know what will happen to a divided Germany and to a monolithic Sovet Union because one has been reunited and the other has fallen to pieces now, and on and on. To Stephen Hawking and all others than myself I say, "Be patient. Your future will soon come to you and lie down at your feet like a who knows and loves you no matter what you are."
~ From the Preface to the 25th Anniversary Edition of "Slaughterhouse Five" By Kurt Vonnegut.

.........Being a Huge Fan of the printed word, It's always Nice to be able to Curl Up with a Good ,.....Whether it's Fiction or Non, Literature, Journalism, History, Biography, or Poetry. There are few things as Relaxing as having some Time to ,.....And having a Good to it With,......
.........Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five" is a "Novel somewhat in the telegraphic schizophrenic manner of tales of the planet Tralfamadore, where the flying saucers come from." It also tells the story of the fire bombing of the German city of Dresden "The Florence of the Elbe," during the Second World War, as witnessed by the author, while a prisoner of war, as well as telling the tale of Poor Old Billy Pilgrim, a man who has become "Unstuck" in time,......
.........Like all Great Novels, "Slaughterhouse Five" has Always given Me something that Only the Truly Great Ones can,.....That Rarest of All Commodities,.....Hope,.....And because of This, I count it among the Classic Novels of the Twentieth Century,.....Along with Steinbeck's "East of Eden" Hemingway's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" Marquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby"......
........."Slaughterhouse Five" is probably the Best Anti-War novel Ever Written,.....Joseph Heller's "Catch 22" stands a Close Second,.....And Definetly One of the Best novels written about World War Two,.....Followed Closely by Irwin Shaw's "The Lions" and Norman Mailer's "The Naked and the Dead".....So,.....If you're itching for a Good Read, and You haven't Already,.....Give "Slaughterhouse Five" a Go,.....I Promise, You Won't be Disappointed,......

the end of the day in a dream that's divine.

"In the Summertime when the weather is high
You can stretch right and touch the sky
When the weather's fine
You've got women, you've got women on your mind
Have a drink, have a dive
Get out and see what you can find."
~ Mungo Jerry ~ "In the Summertime"

"The pajama people are boring me to pieces
Feel like wasting my time
They all got flannel 'n down 'em
A little trap-door back aroun' 'em
And some cozy little footies on their minds."
~ Frank Zappa ~ Po-Jama People
.........Greetings and Salutations My faithful Denizens of the Darkness,.....And a Happy Half Naked Wednesday to All,.....This ones coming at you from what Appears to be the Second Great Ice Age,.....It's So Cold out there this evening I Chipped a Tooth on my Coffee,.....So Cold My Lawyer has His Hands in His Own pockets,.....So Cold I Don't Mind when people rub against on the subway,.....So Fucking Cold I saw a Flasher Describing Himself to Different Women on the Street,.....So as a result of this Wickedly Brutal Arctic Cold Flash,.....Tonght finds Not Only the Stereo cranked all the way to Eleven,....But the Heat as well,.........
.........And even though last night Satan got in Bed with and Demanded I keep Him Warm on account of Hell having Frozen Over,.....When it comes time to Bed Down for the night, I prefer to be as Unhindered by Clothing as Possible,.....I find it to be More Comfortable,.....Especially if You have Company,.....Because you Never Know for Certain when the Mood might strike them for a little Middle of the Night Naughtiness,.....And you know,..... above all else, I hate to be Rude or Inhospitable,.....So I find it just makes Good Sense to Always be Ready to Please,.....Because although My flannel sheets are Plenty Warm,.....There's Nothing quite like a Body to hold onto in the Wee Hours of a Cold, Dark Winter's Night,.....Is There?.......

"Wintertime winds, blue and freezin'
Comin' from northern storms in the sea
Love has been lost, is the reason?
Tryin' desperately to be free."
" with dance, my dear
Winter's so cold this
And you are so warm
My wintertime love to be."
~ The Doors ~ "Wintertime Love"
.........Greetings and Salutations, My Wayward of the Night,..... sending this message out to You from the Snow Covered Wastelands of New Jersey,.....A good sized storm front just got done dropping around six inches of snow on us, and on my way out to snow blower in the guts, and clear off the driveway,.........
.........Normally, I have an US Army field jacket I wear for such things, but about a week ago I got the bright idea of airbrushing a "Black Crowes" album cover on the back of it,.....So, needless to say, While it's waiting for to finish,.....I had to break out one of my leather jackets instead,.....and while it's not nearly as warm as field jacket, it blocks the wind well, and coupled with a wool cap, my leather is plenty warm enough for a little snow blowing,........
.........Nevertheless, I hope this finds everyone out there in Blogville somewhere Warm and Toasty, with someone and Sexy,.....It's a great day to stay in bed, crank the music to 11, get your head nice and tight, and cuddle close with someone special,.....I only Wish it were Me,.........

"Now it's my turn to talk, and your turn to think
Your turn to buy, and my turn to drink
Your turn to cry, and my turn to sink down in this blue chair."
~ Elvis Costello "Blue Chair"
.........Greetings and Salutations My Lovely Creatures of the Darkness,.....How are All of My Little Lost Angels?....e on in out of the Night, and pull a Chair,.....Seeing as how 's the Topic of Conversation this evening,.........
.........Now Personally, when Not with Polite Company,.....Or if just Killin some Time getting Tuned with Jawbreaker or the Devilboy, I prefer to sit with the chair facing backwards,.....I like to lean forward and make direct eye contact with the people addressing,.....and in Some Occasions it Helps Me to better get My Point across,........
.........However,......I will confess I love to sit like and have someone Soft, and Smooth, with Curves in All the Right Places, Sitting right in my lap facing me. And as I stare into her "Far Away Eyes" and She lets me run my hand through her hair until it settles on the nape of her neck, and as I pull her close, our lips brush together and I Know Tonight She'll Definitely be getting between and My Calvin's.........
