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

@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.

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.

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.

@t_heislen @InUnfunky @CanisPundit @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @phac3ti0us

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.

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." 😉

@Bix @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @t_heislen @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @CanisPundit @phac3ti0us

I was wondering why I hadn’t seen his blue musings and non sequiturs. Differently but also @Blondie_911 who came here in ‘22 and then said she couldn’t figure the site out…only to say the same just last week. Is she still here? 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️🤓

I think Tim Noah said it best…

https://newrepublic.com/article/188156/liberals-dump-musk-leave-twitter

@InUnfunky @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @t_heislen @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @CanisPundit @phac3ti0us @Blondie_911

CoSo looks different from Twitter, so Blondie is out, mainly. She is on Blue Sky.

@InUnfunky @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @t_heislen @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @CanisPundit @phac3ti0us @Blondie_911

Anyways, it took me a little bit until I got use to CoSo. The 5 sections across my tablet is a really nice layout.

@Bix @InUnfunky @CinnamonGirlE @t_heislen @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @CanisPundit @phac3ti0us @Blondie_911

You can always switch to "Simplified" mode if you want a more twitter like feel

@jdtasker @Bix @CinnamonGirlE @t_heislen @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @CanisPundit @phac3ti0us @Blondie_911

Lolz n’ eyerollz but good that that’s an option I suppose…😄

@InUnfunky @Bix @CinnamonGirlE @t_heislen @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @CanisPundit @phac3ti0us @Blondie_911

I always used Tweedeck so the default layout here never bothered me.

@Bix @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @t_heislen @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @CanisPundit @phac3ti0us @Blondie_911

(hums the Dickey Betts/Allmans tune while pondering when/if/how the Twitter bro will give that up to Mush too…🤔🤷🏻‍♂️🙄)

@Bix @InUnfunky @jdtasker @CinnamonGirlE @t_heislen @Charles_Hawtrey @Mfieck @CanisPundit @phac3ti0us

Yep. Only been here 2 days, just missed Guv I guess.
