Am I the only Townsman who suspects Mr. Moderator has been feeling a bit blue lately? Recent posts, while thoughtful and enlightening as always, have just seemed a little… well, maybe a little too thoughtful. Bottom line: he needs to get back to where he once belonged. Towards that end, I offer the following as a soothing balm for his tortured soul.
Enjoy, friend.
HVB
The Boss needs to get one of those bad boys, play harmony leads on ‘”Badlands,” and then detatch the two halves so that he can holster them – one on each hip – during the quiet Mmm mmm mmm mm section of the song.
I laughed hard, HVB, but fear not – I’m not blue, just looking inward for a bit.
mod hasn’t been the same since raffery died.
Essay Question:
This is different than Apollo Run, but specifically how?
When life has really beaten me down, and I’ve totally had it with whatever bullshit is slung my way, I rip out the”Cut the Crap” Clash LP and crank it up to 11. I strongly advise the Moderator to do the same.
Sincerely,
E. Pluribus
Great that Michael Angelo Batio is a Johnny Ramone look alike, right down to the sour puss.
Hey, Gergley! My most recent thrift store find: a beautiful copy of Machito’s “Jazz with Flip & Bird” EP… for 50 cents!
I have to say: this clip really takes off for the stratosphere around the 1:42 mark, when M.A,B. disdainfully flings his pick into the audience. Goosebumps!
Funny you should recommend that. I recently picked up some Earthquake Weather outtakes that lifted my spirits.
I was hoping Batio would whip a violin a la Nigel Tufnel. They do share a resemblance don’t they ??

Izzat the stuff where is sounds like the Red Hot Chili Peppers are his backing band????
Ha! I’ve never actually heard this album, but my man Zander “Snake” Schloss, who was briefly a member of RHCP (or was it GnR – or both), was his right-hand man at that time. (Surely due to the bonds developed on the film set for Straight to Hell.)
