paisley

22 posts (23 now) and only 3 people showed up? sense of adventure get shy over the weekend? well, actually most of the debaters I either witnessed or heard tell of their proximity in Auburn hills... guess its always a necessary plan to check for BIG shows state's side or even 100 mile local to avoid overlaps...

very looking forward to hearing this band

quick ps Esua

remember that crazed kid who popped out of the forest with the "free quesilladas! eat em while their hot!" while we were searchin for the car after that Trey sheeebang?

I love it when its so strange its just not

sweet dreams brother

I'll give ya a shit!!!

beautiful work... paisley mcfly was born from a crowd of bisexual industrial goth chicks from dunnville who took a fancy to me for a spell and one day it fell out of one of their mouths and I hung on to it... the sylibature resembles my name... is sylibature a word? meaning sounds the same but doesn't rhyme...

anyone else got a fancy story on where they came up with their handle?

I thought I told you "Straight to bed!" Esau!

anyways, you're one of the good clean clear ones brother...

always know its a great show when you're in the room...

Paisley

a big tip of the hat and deep bow to all the Holiday Inn crew... you guys are tops!!!

part of the wonder of shows is when the world magically re-alligns itself once you get high rollin

made an already perfect night yet much bigger still...

amazing memories, once I can remember

waking dreams... right on right on

Joel Stoeffer says Casbah...

he told me friday night that Gary the owner told the new management(unknown) that if the cats want to play, let them play...

considering the bouncin cats rumours lately, might not hurt to call the club... I'm gonna go around 11/11:30 regardless... if they aren't there its pretty easy to just keep walkin and arrive at 33 to hear Brian and the band...

should be a great night in no mats how the ball be bouncin...

ain't gonna work on Maggie's let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to by the riverside, got some things to talk about, here beside rain falls like crazy fingers, peals of fragile help me when I call, you ain't so like a stranger, gonna be a wait til the midnight hour, thats when my love comes a tumblin down to the mountain, I was drinking some wine

not going to be able to sleep tonight

feels like goin home

1. Existentialism is something a lot of us have lost from our more idealistic youth. The folks who seem to be enjoying the current OO ride the most are the ones who can just take all of this for the here and now, and realize that this is what it is today, that’s it, no more, no less. You can’t do anything about the past, and you don’t know what the future is going to bring.

2. Drugs. Used to heighten awareness and sensations there is/was some viability to drugs. Drugs killed Jerry and many others. Addiction is powerful and insidious. We need to understand the choices here, and do what it takes to be better people. When your decisions become someone else’s problem, trouble has arrived. When your actions affect no one but you, you deserve to do what ever you want.

3. In the late 60’s, people were looking for something better from society, arts, our country. We were mired in Viet Nam, and we had some pretty lame leadership. The whole movement that spawned the Dead came from an intellectual, very fed up cross section of people, and we were led by true visionaries and rebels like Kesey, and Ginsberg, and Neil Cassidy, etc. We need a lot of that now. We have lost our way again, and it isn’t hopeful we will get it back real soon. Lead by positive actions. Rebellion is good, but standing out on a street corner, stoned out, finger in the air is pretty far from the awareness and vibe that this culture was founded on. Helping those folks get it together, however, is.

4. The family. All of us have a common thread. There are lawyers, and doctors, and politicians and a complete cross section of people among us. We don’t all agree on many things except this music. Let’s hope that what is deep and enduring about the music strikes a chord in certain people, all of us, and that somehow that cohesion is powerful and enlightening again in this culture. The responsibility is on us though to overcome the stigmas against us, and to prove by our actions that this culture is more about an art form where thinking and depth supercedes hate and escapism, and that sensibility is carried over into our lives and interaction in the world.

5. Kindness, Awareness, Responsibility. Want to feel good? Want to be proud of who you are? Want to be a contributing citizen of a great country? The time is here again for us to make a statement by our actions. There are more people out there that listen to Gangsta Rap, Death Metal or even Mariah Carey, than the Grateful Dead. That is what we are faced with in 2002. It isn’t just about the music, never was. It is a choice.

footnote on the dance club rucous...

heard on the news there was no shooting, twas just a good ol bar fight... the interesting part of the story was that the place was licensed by the fire marshall to hold 300 people and police charged them because there were 800 people there...

"you're stepping on my foot."

"well you're stepping on my foot."

"hey, you're both standing on my feet!"

"step on someone else's foot!"

"I'll step on whoever's foot I want!"

and off we go!

well, work's a relative term... if I look away from the computer I'm at home... if I look at the computer(while not hangin around the cavern) I'm at work...

I kinda miss waiting to go home... working for yourself you're not done until you're done so time becomes irrelevant... then again, you can say fukit whenever you want

how bout MarcO stripping while they play?

I heard a while back that the Casbah would be closing in Dec but didn't want to get rumours flyin... ran into Briscoe last night and he didn't say anything... hoping against hope that we aren't about to see hamilton's newest dance bar (very nasty shooting or something at the new dance club at Caroline and Main last night... as I went by people were running by screaming and specked with blood... crazy bad)

take two on cats/pepperjacks, Shane?

excellent!!

Hamilton role-call?

bucket of beans

in a classy venue I picture them really drunk in tuxedo's and party dresses... like kids at a wedding... still wearing their silver sheriff's badges over their hearts of course

have heard Mike Daley, Doug Feaver, Tom Yorke, MarCo and scores of others put fine twists on the mighty Dylan's songs... could see myself doin some toe tappin and maybe even shakin up a jig to a well done representation but will unfortunately be seeing a GD cover band that night I hear they may do some Dylan too though...

secondtube, get a show to MarCo pronto so he and his wondergirl repent, pawn a guitar and come back home with us Saturday night!!

yays to playin a song you love your own way... straight cover bands seem to show up in unsightly leopard skin t-shirts and uncomfortably tight pants...

kudos to the cats for having a several year run of tuesday night shows, tuesdays being a traditionally difficult night to get a good crowd out on... many many packed house shows...

some friendly old faces from out west back for the show...

sunday nights will be good fun... the band is sounding great!!

First Show

Saga @ Hamilton Place with Bryan Adams opening... they were very proud of their brand new, 'one of a kind' electric drums... so proud the drummer had sticks that shot lasers... ah, the 80s... Bryan was quite soft spoken and talented in his unknownness...

Best Show

July 4, Buffalo 89

best crowd I've hung out amognst... 30,000 dancin drummin in the lot night before the show... showday over 100,000 all kind and smilin... In The Dark a new release and the MTV crowd hadn't quite caught up yet... still mostly the word of mouth collective...

overwhelmed by the recommended woodstock it took me about a half hour to cross the last parking lot and into see Natalie Merchant of 10,000 Maniacs standing 15 ft tall with 18 ft arms singing very nicely... friendly soul reassured me it was costume... security didn't care at all so hopped the boards and floated into the smilies at the front...

First Set... HUGE Bertha... Touch of Grey tease start... 90 thou shakin it from the go... ended with the biggest Deal I've ever heard... air vibrating...

Second Set... Touch o Grey explodes... 90 thou singin/leapin... darkness decends and things get a little crazy... best I heard the band... top of the game... U.S. Blues encore for july 4... stompin not fade rhythym with bare feet on benches all around the stadium... ecstatic primates...

post parking lot - independence day... state troopers send in helicopters to explain the show has ended and we should... then you can't hear them because dancing heads are shooting sky rockets straight up so the copters have to fly so high they're inaudible... troopers throw in the towel... drumin/dancin til dawn...

Highlight

second set, so hot from dance, salvation light rain begins to fall... stars in the sky... no rain machines... gods smiling

might as well not state the obviouses...

Moby Grape - hard groovin relatively unheard

The Minutemen - hard punk poetry

Tom Waits - beautiful ballads

Dead Kenneds/Ramones - angst love politics

Kate Bush - uniqueness

King Crimson - big jazz rock experiments

Franz Liszt (classical)

Maurice Ravel (as well)

Black Sabbath - early christian rock

demoted to 3 stars, I knew this board had taste

off to bed, wish me luck in court in 4 hours

faith is restored...

thanks for the link

I was wonderin which of Cretien's aides made the comment...
