piesa zilei/noptii (9-10 dec)THE WHO-However Much I Booze

de pe WHO BY NUMBERS (1975), una din piesele lor sad dar true :) cintata la voce de Townshend, despre problemele lui din acea perioada :)
have a Merry Raindeer X mas

I see myself on T.V., I'm a faker, a paper clown
It's clear to all my friends that I habitually lie; I just bring them down
I claim proneness to exaggeration
But the truth lies in my frustration
The children of the night, they all pass me by
Have to drench myself in brandy
In sleep I'll hide
But however much I booze
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out
I don't care what you say, boy
There ain't no way out

I lose so many nights of sleep worrying about my responsibilities
Are the problems that screw me up really down to him or me
My ego will just confuse me
Some day it's going to up and use me
Dish me out another tailor-made compliment
Tell me about some destiny I can't prevent
And however much I squirm
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out
I don't care what you say, boy
There ain't no way out

Won't somebody tell me how to get out of this place?!

Then the night comes down like a cell door closing
Suddenly I realize that I'm right now, I'm on the scene
While sitting here all alone with a bottle and my head a-floating
Far away from the phone and the conscience going on at me
And on at me, and I don't care what you say
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out

Now the walls are all clawed and scratched
Like by some soul insane
In the morning I humbly detach myself
I take no blame
I just can't face my failure
I'm nothing but a well fucked sailor
You at home can easily decide what's right
By glancing very briefly at the songs I write
But it don't help me that you know
This ain't no way out
Won't somebody tell me?
I don't care what you say, boy
There ain't no way out

There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out

Give me the key, lock it away

There ain't
There ain't
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out

Keef ! Life ! Jack !

e nasol ca ne-am schimbat gusturrile (editorial we), si Keef si Lemmy sunt in continuare pe Jack D. pentru ca nu s-au lasat de fumat. Eu m-am lasat asa ca vinul roshu sau vodka -white knight, mitt eiss, r ok.
la extremis jack (which was my best friend-o few years back), sau da, un coniac, sau un single malt. prefer un Irish unui Scotch,
am primit cartea lui Keef direct dela NY (thanks man, mench, dude) ! I dont even need to read it. It's enough i have it on my bed. The influence is clear, I'm drinking and writing :-).

It’s not only the high quality of drugs I had that I attribute my survival to. I was very meticulous about how much I took. I’d never put more in to get a little higher. That’s where most people fuck up on drugs. It’s the greed involved that never really affected me.

(KeeF !)

I'm calling Leon Russell 2 show him pics of Axl Rose :->

Donovan cinta duminica la Bucuresti !!!

Donovan Leitch, da, el, nu Jason Donovan ! Da, Hurdy Gurdy man ! Sunshine Superman ! Universal Soldier ! Atlantis ! si Season of the Witch ! yep, le stiti din soundtrackuri daca nu din alta parte ! am aflat aleator, dintr-un poster stradal de pe Magheru,
Donovan e invitat special la spectacolul de 20 de ani de Folk, Om Bun, de duminica de la Sala Palatului !
comunicatul zice:

OM BUN - 20 DE ANI, 12 decembrie, ora 18.00, Sala Palatului

Cu 20 de ani in urma, Fundatia Culturala “Om Bun” lansa prima editie a Festivalului National de muzica folk "Om Bun", eveniment artistic menit sa desemneze in fiecare an cele mai bune noi creatii folk autohtone si cele mai promitatoare debuturi, precum si sa readuca in atentia spectatorilor, prin recitaluri de tinuta, marile nume ale genului din Romania. Popularitatea festivalului a crescut de la un an la altul, devenind principala manifestare folk din tara noastra, la acesta participand an de an cei mai valorosi artisti folk din Romania. In 2010, Festivalul OM BUN va avea un caracter special, datorita aniversarii celor 20 de ani de existenta. Editia aniversara a festivalului va avea loc pe data de 12 decembrie, la Sala Palatului din Bucuresti. Artistii care vor sustine recitaluri in cadrul acestei editii a festivalului sunt personalitati incontestabile ale folk-ului romanesc: NICU ALIFANTIS, ALEXANDRU ANDRIES, MIRCEA BANICIU, DUCU BERTZI, GEORGE NICOLESCU, VICTOR SOCACIU, DORU STANCULESCU, VASILE SEICARU, MIRCEA VINTILA. De asemenea, vor participa la acest eveniment special si castigatori ai unor editii anterioare printre care: ADA MILEA, DANIEL IANCU, MARIA GHEORGHIU. Amfitrionul festivalului va fi artistul ADRIAN IVANITCHI. Invitat special: DONOVAN LEITCH. Legendarul trubadur folk-pop-rock Donovan Leitch este unul din putinii artisti care a colaborat la cateva piese ale legendarilor Beatles, contribuind cu versuri la celebrul Yellow Submarine. Donovan le-a influentat lui John Lennon si Paul McCartney tehnica si stilul de cantat la ghitara. In timpul carierei sale, Donovan a cantat alaturi de «monstri sacri» ai muzicii folk ca Pete Seeger, Joan Baez si Bob Dylan, dar si de celebri muzicieni rock precum Jimmy Page de la Led Zeppelin sau Jeff Beck. In 2009 Donovan si-a pregatit noul sau album „Ritual Groove (Soundtrack to a film not yet made)” pe care il promoveaza printr-un turneu in acest an. Biletele se gasesc la Sala Palatului, libraria Mihai Eminescu, Music Store (vis-a-vis de magazinul Muzica), magazinul Unirea etajul 2, magazinul Victoria (la parter) si Palatul Copiilor, sau on-line pe www.biletoo.ro, www.vreaubilet.ro. Pretul biletelor variaza intre 40 si 250 lei, cu valori intermediare de 80, 100, 150 lei. Biletele categoria VIP, in valoare de 500 lei, includ si o intalnire (cu sesiune de autografe) cu Donovan Leitch, dupa recitalul acestuia.

My 15 seconds of Vai fame !

my 15 seconds of Vai fame ! (yes, I know I look fat, but so's my cousin :)

luni 6 dec. la conferinta de presa (thx. de poza lui Tudor Macovei !)


si BTW l-am intrebat de SV de actorie si de Crossroads si mi-a raspuns ca a fost "too much going into a dark place", si care sunt filmele sale preferate. Tough one. "L-am incuiat", cum a zis Ernesto :) Dar dupa, cind am facut poza l-am reintrebat si mi-a zis confidential; Willy Wonka si fabrica de Ciocolata, am intrebat inutil daca originalul , a zis ca da, apoi dupa o pauza de citeva secunde a zis, si West Side Story.
N-as fi zis...asa n-ai fi zis ca Mr. Vai e un om atit de modest, de non-addicted 2 booze(no info), drugs (never), cigarettes (meening s-a lasat), posteste cel putin 5 zile pe an, si e insurat cu aceiasi femeie cu care a fost din adolescenta (Pia Maiocco, basista la Vixen in AD 1984). Creste albine si face miere (Fire garden honey-remember the album ?)


si Poza pentru grup fara orchestra :) Fani, yo! Enel ! ho !
facuta tot de Tudor Macovei (thx again!)
