FYI, my jazz guitarist friend The Guv was kicked off of CoSo.
His crude humor is an acquired taste.

Yet I live? Amazing. 🤣 What did he say/do?

Attention New CoSo members: You’re in a different country. The language is familiar, but the customs and laws are different. Read the chat room. Read the terms of service too.
@CanisPundit @InUnfunky @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @t_heislen @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @phac3ti0us
The Guv has to be crude and strange - he cannot change.
@Bix @InUnfunky @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @t_heislen @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @phac3ti0us
A real life friend followed me to CoSo in the 2022 diaspora. He got accustomed to picking fights with Right wing idiots on TwiX and didn’t find the sport here. I let that addiction pretty much go in 2016.
I’m not such a bad boy no more.

Gretschaliciousness.

Great stuff, that song would fit nice in with a Rockpile mix.
And, I thought you would have been posting Buster Pointdexter - Bad boy, 1987.
@Bix @InUnfunky @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @t_heislen @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @phac3ti0us
Some say Chris Spedding played guitar & bass on the Sex Pistols “Never Mind the Bollocks”. Listening to live Pistols from that era it’s hard to think there’s truth to that.
@Bix @CanisPundit @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @t_heislen @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @phac3ti0us
He’s an acquired taste, fer shur.
The Guv, too. 😏
Rank my big Tom Waits fandom (vinyl not pictured) —
@InUnfunky @Bix @CanisPundit @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @phac3ti0us Wait - where's Bone Machine?
@t_heislen @InUnfunky @CanisPundit @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @phac3ti0us
My favorite Watis CD, t_h.

The Guv said that watching this show on PBS made him want to be a musician.
Note, he was Mose Allison's road manager, at one time.

The Beatles — and George Benson! — made me wanna play guitar. 😝
Let’s spoof the lyrics to a certain Zappa tune as tribute to tha Guv…
Something like this —
The Traverse City Champagne Enema Bandit
I heard he’s on the loose
I heard he’s on the loose…
Ooh! The pitiful screams
Of all those MI public radio listeners…
They just be listenin’
Don’t they wanna turn it off?
Etc. 🤓
@InUnfunky @Bix @t_heislen @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @phac3ti0us @JoyfullyDazed
Now class, let’s put it all together: The Gov was kicked off because a champagne enema direction. Trey, cook, references The Illinois Enema Bandit who lived in Champaign, IL and was arrested in Cook County, IL. COINCIDENCE???
Of course it is, I’m goofy but not that goofy. 🤪
@CanisPundit @Bix @t_heislen @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @phac3ti0us @JoyfullyDazed
Naw, I’m tawkin’ ‘biut tha Traverse City Champagne Enema Bandit, totes diff’rent.
Bandit, are you guilty?
Tell me, did you write these bubbly screeds?
It must be just what CoSo needs…😉
@InUnfunky @CanisPundit @t_heislen @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @phac3ti0us @JoyfullyDazed @SmokeytheWisecracker
The Guv is a student of Zappa, so you 2 could, as the British say, toss off together.
@Bix @CanisPundit @t_heislen @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @phac3ti0us @JoyfullyDazed @SmokeytheWisecracker
Naw — he’s jealous of our relationship, Bixie. NTM it’s hard to get a straight answer out of the dude. Plus he’s old n’ cranky. 😝
@Bix @CanisPundit @t_heislen @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @phac3ti0us @JoyfullyDazed @SmokeytheWisecracker
That said, underneath the crusty exterior he's a charmer. Too bad he got himself kicked off CoSo for recommending unconventional rectal recreations.
My diagnosis?
He, too...hates jazz guitar.
Right, guys?
(lol Bixie)
@InUnfunky @Bix @t_heislen @CanisPundit @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Mfieck @phac3ti0us @JoyfullyDazed
Yup The Beatles made me want to play bass. First time I heard 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' I had to play one of those "humming guitars" 🤣
@InUnfunky @Bix @t_heislen @CanisPundit @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Mfieck @phac3ti0us @JoyfullyDazed
Remember this one?
Al Anderson of NRBQ's first charting band-
The Wildweeds- No Good To Cry-1967
EXCELLENT tune, was big in MA, maybe because they were from CT? I have a WRKO (AM radio, Boston) double LP with this song on it, was a welcome memory when I first played it again after all these years.

@Charles_Hawtrey @InUnfunky @Bix @t_heislen @CanisPundit @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Mfieck @JoyfullyDazed
I ran the student-run entertainment council at UCD many moons ago, and I had these guys in the coffee house. What a fun show! Had CAE in there too.
@phac3ti0us @InUnfunky @Bix @t_heislen @CanisPundit @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Mfieck @JoyfullyDazed
They sounded like a good band, were they live? Who were CAE? I know I should know them but I'm bad with abbreviations.
@Charles_Hawtrey @phac3ti0us @Bix @t_heislen @CanisPundit @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Mfieck @JoyfullyDazed
CAKE at UC Davis, maybe?
🤔 🤷♂️ 😉
@Charles_Hawtrey @InUnfunky @Bix @t_heislen @CanisPundit @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Mfieck @JoyfullyDazed
NRBQ was great.
CAE = Chicago Art Ensemble.
@phac3ti0us @Charles_Hawtrey @Bix @t_heislen @CanisPundit @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Mfieck @JoyfullyDazed
You mean Lester Bowie, Cecil Taylor, et al? Cool.
@InUnfunky @Charles_Hawtrey @Bix @t_heislen @CanisPundit @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Mfieck @JoyfullyDazed
It was wild. They played every kind of instrument you could imagine.
@InUnfunky @Charles_Hawtrey @Bix @t_heislen @CanisPundit @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Mfieck @JoyfullyDazed
And some things that were definitely not intended to be instruments. 😂
@Charles_Hawtrey @Bix @t_heislen @CanisPundit @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Mfieck @phac3ti0us @JoyfullyDazed
I don't remember that one but will check it out, thx! 👍
@t_heislen @Bix @CanisPundit @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @phac3ti0us
"Bone Machine" cuts are on both "Beautiful Maladies" and "Glitter And Doom Live." 😉
@CanisPundit @InUnfunky @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @t_heislen @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @phac3ti0us
He likes telling people to take a champagne enema. He is strange, like most big Tom Waits fans.
