I’m just starting to get a feel for this, but I can already see what I DON’T want this blog to be. I will post here when I have something to say, but not before. I also will get the format down soon as well, i.e. putting the words by the pictures they belong with, etc. Any helpful comments are appreciated.
I saw a sensitive artist’s blog post yesterday that exhausted me before the first sentence was done, and it was a million pages long. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but…
The Clams had a fantastic rehearsal last night, cos we got to do songs that have been on the periphery for a while. We played 50 songs over the course of three gigs last weekend, so we got to see which songs haven’t been played in a while, if at all. Good originals, and a couple groovy covers too. As the guys were leaving it POURED down rain, and there was a fantastic lightning show too. Is it ever gonna stop raining??
So if you’re “following” this blog, I hinted at some reviews of rock n roll books that I’ve read this year. Gotta say, the most entertaining one was I AM OZZY. Hilarious! It was transcribed from tapes of Ozzy speaking, and so his English vernacular comes across very clearly- you can almost hear his accent! And he is self deprecating and brutally honest about how stupid he can be, which is quite endearing. Monika and I were both in tears reading parts of it. I heard he’s back off the wagon… I’d party with him. Fun guy. GREAT book.
As some of you may know, I tend to be a media magnet here in Wilmington. Jude was on WHQR yesterday and when she mentioned to the host that she played with me Jemila was like “Oh, I know Jeff!” Then this morning the Penguin played my desert island set- Peaches En Regalia, Changing of The Guards, and Walk On- a nice bunch of tunes to get up and go to work to. So, I will toot my own horn here, I just won’t reach down into the depths of my soul, or whatever.
(How come there aren’t automatically tags for stuff??)
