PENNSYLVANIA (Travel Day)

PLAY-CATION!

...or, how i spent my summer vacation as a Lousiana National Guardsman, a Katrina survivor from Canada who watched his family drown, and an N.O. cop taking potshots at looters.

the personal drama unfolds as follows:

a) about a month ago, i start thinking about maybe looking around for an acting class again. this has popped up before over the years, with the idea that it would help my songwriting. no threat to Olivier, I...strickly as getting some learnin' re: building/creating a character.

b) on 8/8, i meet up with Bianca Bob & Bill...and BB suggests i should maybelike sit in on one or three of B's acting/directing classes at SVA. hmmmm....cool....something to think about, especially since i was just thinking...

c) a week later, NCSP calls and says that she is assisting the director in organizing a powerful/First Person POV Katrina anniversary play called "Storm Stories" by Judi Ann Mason (that was performed in NYC last Feb) which is based on emails/monologues from the playright's brother during the storm/evacuation/aftermath - "sorry it's gonna fall during your visit".

d) a week later still, i get emailed the script. powerful stuff - victims/looters/first responders/deep politics/deeper Americatragedyracism. NCSP sez "they need another white actor. no worries - it's readers theater...no memorization."

e) the show biz gene kicks in, so i say yes. readers theater?...no problem...that's where a bunch of actors sit on folding chairs and read a play to some potential backers or a class or whomever but whatever it will be nothing too challenging.

f) i get to Las Vegas and it's chaos, 'cause the play (tho still 'read') is now superambitiousbaitandswitcherooed/being blocked/costumed/in a real theater with light and sound cues/they need a guitarist to play bottleneck blooze and Nawleens-stylee Mardi Gras beats and...

WHAMGODDAM!

...i am a real thespian in a real play with FANTASTIC local actors including NCSP's mom and getting ++++++ feedback from them and for four performances i am learningenjoying this all a little TOO much 'cause like i need another non-money-making talent?????

"N.B.A.T.W.P.!" (NEVER BE AT THE WRONG PARTY)

Subject: Having A Wild Weekend!

Hey Kids-
So much going on this weekend I'll spare the preamble and get right down to the real nitty gritty!

Fri. 8/18 Noon-3 The illustrious Todd-O-Phonic Todd fills in for the lovely Monica on WFMU, 91.1 on your FM dial (or for those of you with jobs WFMU.org). The weekend starts here!

Fri. 8/18 7 p.m. The resurgent New York Dolls and the fabulous Tralala perform a FREE SHOW at The South Street Seaport Pier 17 in lower Manhattan (probably located between Pier 16 and 18).

Sat. 8/19 7:30 p.m The start of SOUL LEGENDS weekend. For those of you not at The Norton Records BBQ at Magnetic Field, it's another FREE SHOW with the amazing talents of Eddie Floyd and Percy Sledge. A very rare opportunity to see 2 of the greats. This show is part of the 23rd Annual Roots of American Music Festival and takes place in Damrosch Park on the SW Corner of Lincoln Center Plaza (62nd St., near Amsterdam Ave.).

and after that what could be more fitting than...

Sat. 8/19 10 p.m.-4 a.m. Subway Soul Club Check out Phast Phreddie, Ms. K and Todd-O-Phonic Todd spinning great soul and r'n'b 45's into the wee wee hours. Hey everybody, it's Gouster Time!
Club Riffifi 332 E. 11th St. (bet. 1st and 2nd Aves.)...and yes, it's FREE!

we're not done yet!

Sun. 8/20 2 p.m.-7:30 p.m. JellyNYC in conjunction with Dead Flowers and Todd Abramson present the latest in their wonderful installment of Pool Parties. It's another Soul Blast and yes...another FREE SHOW! Dig this line-up: The Fabulous Soul Shakers, The Dansettes, The Mighty Hannibal and Archie Bell! A tremendous confluence of amazing legends and the new breed that is doing a fabulous job of keeping their boss sounds going! And if being able to do the "Tighten Up" isn't good enough, you can also run through the Slip'N'Slide or play Dodgeball! And even the hot dogs are great! Phast Phreddie and Cosmo Baker add to the madness with their platter spinning.
McCarren Park in Williamsburg (entrance on Lorimer between Driggs & Bayard Ave.). Visit www.thepoolparties.com if you need more info.

If Gary U.S. Bonds (and The N.Y. Dolls) can have a 7 Day Weekend we can stretch it to 4...

Mon. 8/21 9:30 p.m. Archie Bell with The Dansettes Don't miss Archie's first club appearance in New York in a gazillion years! WFMU's Small Change will be on the wheels of steel keeping the party going. Not a FREE SHOW, but you should feel guilty enough after all the free entertainment preceding it that you should come by and pay even if you can't attend.
Joe's Pub 425 Lafayette St. in Lower Manhattan (212)539-8778 (P.F. Sloan is there on 8/24!)

"I think the life cycle is all backwards.

One should die first, start out dead and get it out of the way.

Then you wake up in a nursing home, feeling better every day.

You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day.

You work 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement.

You drink alcohol, you party, you're generally promiscuous and you get ready for High School.

You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a baby, then, you spend your last 9 months floating peacefully with luxuries like central heating, spa room service on tap, larger quarters everyday, and finally you finish off as an orgasm.

I rest my case."

New uniforms if they know my sizes
I'll make new friends when I go to the meetings
It won't be better, but I'll settle for different

Redland, Red
And my house is burning
Redland, Red
Well it really won't matter (when it's)
Redland, Redland everyone

I'll be glad when the flag goes up
It will be clear what is right and wrong
I don't care about the leaders and the theories
But I know I'd just like a change

I'll be glad when the flag goes up
There'll be new names for the streets and the cities
Study the lives of the great new heroes
I won't be happy but I'll be relieved

THE GREAT RED SPOT - PART 2

- a continuation of a discussion about women, men, divorce & menopause begun 8/5/06:













a woman once told me that she often did not know how to react to me because i was "not like other men".

gee...ya think?

i am a 57-year-old bohemian sociopath/divorcing father/self-employed rock 'n' roll songwriter-musician since the late '70's/the few 'regular' jobs i had were fuckin'awfulvowedneveragain/'68 Chicago Democratic Convention + Woodstock attendee + May 4th at Kent State = Veteran of Domestic Wars/willing conscript in the sexual revolution/buyer-inner of the feminist ideals/New Wave band leader with a politicalsociological agenda/'wrong-righter' (when i hear the phrase 'life is unfair' i bristle because that's why we are all here = to change that.

"not like other men"? well, in my circle of NYC/Clevo men i am common as dirt...not unusual at all. at the risk of piling stereotype upon stereotype, here are some generalizations of how i/we think:

- women are smart. one would be an idiot not to listen to their views/opinions/perspectives. male dominance went out with the girdle...as independent, free-thinking individuals, women don't need to be force-fed/brow-beaten into following some male/mate/societally-dictated path. and "whatever you think is best, honey" is NOT what we are looking for. really. besides, i've got enough to do just taking care of myself.

- women are responsible individuals, and can make up their own minds about what is best for themselves. a corrollary to this is that the old transactional exchange:

"you never let me do/give me what i want"

"well, what do you want?"

"i don't know"

...does NOT cut it anymore. we want partners, not slaves.

- as a man, i can be vulnerable, cry, need mothering from time to time, express my feelings, get confused, fuck-up, BE WRONG, etc.. these are strengths, not weaknesses, and have been something countless women have wanted from their men forever. no problem/you got 'em.

- women can be feminine, romantic, sometimes dependent, sometimes want/need us to be 'cavemen' & take charge &/or chase 'em &/or 'conquer' 'em, BE WRONG, etc. again, no problem...

(aside: the above two points are gender interchangeable...so don't bother leaving a comment about that. i know.)

...but if either of the above over-generalizations are used as manipulation fodder, THAT IS UNCOOL, and violates the new rules of the new game...which is based on mutual respect.

- equal pay for equal work is so obvious that it's also a given. besides - in the USA - two incomes are required by economic realites anyway, so not bringing in as much dough as possible into the mateunit is just stoopid.

- sexual equality is also a given...but don't expect the emotional hard-wiring re: jealousy, etc. to just disappear. a corollary to this is that 'morality' is just another name for 'a pattern of human behavior that has been empirically proven over countless millenia to cause the least amount of troublecrap" = peeps is peeps, and will do what they want...but don't be shocked if things get fucked up. another way of saying this is 'two cheers for monogamy' = it may not be the best thing, but it's the best thing we've come up with.

- of course, we are 'different'...duh, but we also both need each other, so accept that as a given and get fuckin' on with it, already.

(to be continued)

NP: "I Want My Land" demo - trying to come up with a song to be included in a Canadian TV show...and i need to do this fast.

MEMORIAL SLOAN KETTERING CANCER CENTER/NYC

THE GREAT RED SPOT - PART 1

i was recently at a party, and as is so often the case when us old farts gather together these days, the conversation drifted towards health issues & current maladies. a theme emerged in the conversations - issues commonlyusedtobly known as 'woman's problems'.

from the dining room table, a woman pal observed another woman pal's odd dance taking place in the kitchen: piling her hair on top off her head/shifting her weight from foot to foot. "hot flashes," i was told..."she needs to take off her shoes."

???

it is strange to see woman i've known for decades - hardknock rock 'n' rollers whom i forever will image as 19-year-old Strat-wielding unstoppable Amazons/tough West Side o' Clevo art gurls/'nice' ex-wife morphing into an unreconizable shrew - going thru menopause. i mean, we know we all are old...but this is grandma shit.

i am also reminded that at least 90% of my wakingruminating life is taken up with interactions with women - divorce lawyer/accountant/GFs/ex-wife/psycho Mom/secretaries & functionaries/doctors/etc = all distaff. now, factor in the new reality of estrogen-progesterone inbalances into the ongoing, daily tryingtofigurethesewomenout, and confusion/infuriation/frustration reigns. very un-PC/un-feminist to bring this up, but...

(aside: Eve Silberbach was the star of sixth grade - cute, smart, talented. one day at a mutual friend's b-day party, she took out a baritone uke and played a few P P & M folk songs. the adults oohed-ahhed...but i - all stoneswhokinksbeatles - thought it was the lamest thing i'd ever heard...and promptly got myself a guitar and a drum set and learned how to play.

woman + encounter = life changing experience.

the first of many...

we were all slamming hard into puberty - girls first, of course - and this made for much sniggering amongst the boys. example: whenever Eve would have her period, she'd sprout this huge red zit on her forehead - christened 'The Great Red Spot' - and much mirth ensued.

...'til once i was visiting a friend who lived on Eve's street. her dad was mowing the lawn, and since it was high summer, he was in a short-sleeved shirt.

on his right arm were some crudely-tattooed blue numbers.

Nazi concentration camp numbers.

after that, it no longer seemed so funny to make fun of someone's 'marks'.)

point: i am entirely a product of my relations with women. i do have my own reasonably solid, male identity (hard won and unique since i did not want to be like my sonofabitch father or any other cretinous jockmen presentedexhalted as suitable role models), but i must completely acknowledge how my sense of self/what i do/who i am was-has been & is being shaped by the influence and interaction with les femmes...only now i have to also factor in this new & powerful & chemically-induced variable into the life equation:

woman + encounter + menopause = ?

- went to see CB's art opening in NYC. as thewineandcheese crowd walked in, he'd mutter something under his breath in Spanish. i asked him what he was saying and he said it was an old Mexican curse - 'may you grow mule's ears'. then he said "i know you....you had a beard tho" (nope), then proceeded to bitch about the quality of his catalog's printing - 'look at that red...it's a goddam barbecue!".
