Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To

Above The Rim

Hey, Bill Walton.

“Oh, hey. Noticed that the kids these days are eating each others’ butts like there’s no tomorrow.”

Butts are big.

“Eating ass!”

Right.

“Munching away. NOMNOMNOMASSASSASS.”

Please, Bill Walton: never make those noises again in public.

“It’s wild, my friend. Do you know that when I began my career at UCLA under the great Coach Wooden, doggy-style hadn’t been invented yet?”

That’s not true.

“My junior year, I ate some shrooms with Elvin Bishop and he told me how it worked. And now everyone’s wearing each others’ asses as catcher’s masks. Weird world.”

“Later, I’m gonna chow down on Rapunzel here’s back porch like a set-break taco.”

We’re done.

      Spencer, do you have a date and/or location for this shot? I am thinking June 4 ’78 County Bowl Santa Barbara, when Elvin Bishop Group opened for GD.

      A very interesting day, since Jerry first heard Melvin Seals (then playing keyboards for Elvin), and Jerry came out and jammed with the EBG for a few numbers as well (there are photos floating around).

        Let me get back to you when I’m off work. It’s on my computer at home. Elvin and Jerry nice.

      • spencer

        Haven’t found the original site yet. Someone has it pinned as UCSB 78 though. I will get back to you….

      • spencer

        Corry, I stole that picture off the dead.net site. No info on it other than UCSB 78. You are correct fine sir. Keep up the excellent work.

    Someone try and distract ToTD before tonoght’s postings continue down this dark path of alternative sex..

    Maybe suggest a show or something, or mention that Phil’s Cody wristband has become sentient and would like to talk..

    Something Anything.

      No editing, just dumped them on ya..

      • Boogaloo

        You ditched Phil & Carlos for Woody Hayes & the Woodland Nymphs w special guest Mickey Hart and the Enchanted Elves?

      • tor_haxson

        Boogaloo..

        Hell yeah I walked right out on Carlos and the EgoManiacs.

        Imagine the backstage discussion..

        Three voices in unison saying..

        “I will lead the jam, follow my lead”

        Then Phil saying..
        “let’s do Island in the stream jamming where the songs are brief forms in a flow of jams”

        They all say “Cool..”

        But Phil pictures a stream leading to San Francisco harbor with him on a yacht, Carlos pictures a stream in South America with conga playing natives and ladies with fruit on their heads, and Warren pictures the Suwanee river running through the history of Southern Rock.

      tried posting a pic there.
      me no spencer.
      internets are hard.

    • tor_haxson

      leapyear…

      You can do this.

      Right click on one of spencer’s images.. You should get a dialog box like “open link in new window”

      If you do that you will see that Spencer is just borrowing images from other sites, Brilliantly yes, but you can do it to.

      See the taco quickies.. those are on flicker. See Crystal Gayle, she is on some German site.

      SO the first step is to get an image online.

      Post it to flicker, post it to twitter, then find the link and share it here.

      The way to find the link is to right click and copy image url.

      To verify it works open a browser and past that url in the address bar, if that opens the image, then you can paste that url here, on a line of it’s own and it should appear.

    This may actually be one of your most unsettling posts of late.

    • duncan

      That’s really saying something, assuming you were around for the weekend at bernie’s

      • Austin Gilbert

        I may have been. That sounds vaguely familiar.

    walton knows it’s all about the Microbiome. Coach Wood-man said so.

    Salad tossing?
    The low bar around this place has finally touched the earth’s core.

    • Sir Luther Von Baconson

    I talked to Jay Blakesberg for a minute at Lockn, I mentioned this blog. He seemed to not be aware, I guess it was an audience member and not Jay that used the term “a Benjy”

    Maybe he is here reading.. Hi Jay.

    His new book Hippie Chick is bound to raise some female eyebrows, raise those brows I say, and then pluck that shit ladies… got to look sharp to make it into the book.

    Bonnie noted the camera focus on hot young chicks at Lockn, when the majority of attendees are old beer guts like myself. I do not want to get labelled as a pig, but.. inside we are all hot hippie chicks, so let the bias continue.
