IT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

THANKS FOR SB2 SENDING THIS TO ME.

NORMIE ROWE CONSCRIPTED BY MISTAKE!?

A STORY HAS COME TO LIGHT THAT AUSTRALIAN POP STAR OF THE 60'S, NORMIE ROWE WAS CONSCRIPTED BY MISTAKE. THAT IS, HIS BIRTHDAY WAS NOT PULLED OUT OF THE LOTTERY BARREL. SO, 41 YEARS AFTER THE EVENT, HE'S MAKING AN ISSUE OF IT? IF IT DIDN'T PLEASE HIM AT THE TIME, WHY DIDN'T HE TELL THEM TO STICK IT?
I THINK HE WAS THINKING OF ELVIS...AND THE PUBLICITY.
WHY HAS IT JUST COME TO LIGHT? PUBLICITY? check out the link to abc news ....http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/05/15/2245816.htm

RETURN OF THE HERBERTS

SYDNEY ROCK GROUP, THE HERBERTS, HAVE RETURNED TO BALI FOLLOWING SUCCESSFUL APPEARANCES AT THE BALI HARDROCK CAFE IN RECENT MONTHS. LOCAL INSIDERS REPORT THAT KEITH SLINGERLAND, PLAYED AT THE APACHE BAR IN LEGIAN LAST NIGHT TO A CROWD WILD WITH THE AFFECTS OF ALCOHOL AND THE CONTENTS OF BOOGIE BOARD BAGS. BASS PLAYER, H.H. WAS LAST SPOTTED SHOPPING FOR MORE BOOGIE BOARD BAGS.
INSTEAD OF FLYING TO BALI, THE HERBERTS WORKED THEIR PASSAGE ON A RETIRED SYDNEY FERRY.

THE GROUP'S DRUMMER, KEITH SLINGERLAND, WITH AN IGNITED DRUMSTICK.


A GROUPIE AFTER HER EXPERIENCES WITH K. SLINGERLAND. SHE CERTAINLY DOESN'T LOOK DISAPPOINTED!

CONGRATULATIONS, CLIFF, I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU WERE ONE!

ANTIQUE TEENAGER, CLIFF RICHARD WAS BEATEN BY A BRIBE IN THE 1968 EUROVISION CONTEST. THE ONE VOTE WINNING MARGIN WAS APPARENTLY ORGANISED THE THE RULING FASCIST REGIME OF GENERAL FRANCO. THIS HAS JUST BEEN EXPOSED IN A NEW DOCUMENTARY. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY NEED FOR BRIBES IN ENGLAND'S SPORTING CONTESTS, AS THE PUBLIC SIMPLY WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

GIVE PEACE A CHANCE

WHEN JOHN AND YOKO HAD THEIR BED-IN, IN A CANADIAN HOTEL ROOM, JOHN WROTE THE LYRICS TO GIVE PEACE A CHANCE ON A BIT OF PAPER AND GAVE IT TO A YOUNG GIRL THERE. HE TOLD HER IT WOULD BE WORTH SOMETHING ONE DAY. SHE KEPT IT, AND IT IS NOW TO BE AUCTIONED, WITH ESTIMATES AROUND $500,000!

FOXY LADIES!

AN AMERICAN PORNOGRAPHY COMPANY IS RELEASING A VIDEO OF THE LATE JIMI HENDRIX WITH TWO WOMEN. IT'S AMAZING THAT IT HAS STAYED HIDDEN THAT LONG. JIMI DIED IN 1970. ONE WOMAN WHO HAS AUTHENTICATED THE VIDEO IS CYNTHIA ALBRITTON, WHO MADE A NAME FOR HERSLF FOR DOING PLASTER CASTS OF ROCK STAR'S PENISES, INCLUDING HENDRIX. THE MIND BOGGLES.











AFTER THIS WAS MADE KNOWN , I LOOKED INTO IT FURTHER, CYNTHIA PLASTER CASTER HAS HER OWN WEB SITE, THERE IS A DOCO ABOUT HER, HERE IS THE DVD COVER, AND SHE ALSO CAST FRANK ZAPPA, ERIC BURDON AND NOEL REDDING AMONGST OTHERS, INCLUDING WOMEN MUSICIANS.

WILL HIS BOOK HAVE A SPINE?

FORMER TREASURER, PETER COSTELLO IS WRITING HIS MEMOIRS. I KNOW, I KNOW, I LIED AGAIN. HOW DO YOU WRITE A BOOK WITHOUT A SPINE?



COSTELLO IS THE ONE IN THE SUIT.

SANDBOX HAS REACHED THE $5000 MARK WITH SELLABAND!

STEVE, OLLIE AND MATES HAVE STARTED TO GET SOME MOMENTUM GOING, IN THEIR PUSH TOWARDS $50000 FOR A RECORDING DEAL. 10% OF THE GOAL IN THE FIRST MONTH IS SPECTACULAR. STEVE HAS REALLY HIT HIS SONGWRITING STRAPS WITH THIS PROJECT. THEY ARE GETTING SUPPORT, (INVESTORS) FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. HERE IS THE LATEST GROUPIE FROM ULURU, CALLED KRIZZA. WHAT A STRANGE NAME!

JOHN LENNON, LSD, AND RICHARD NIXON

IN A STRANGE CONTINUANCE OF THE JOHN AND YOKO STORY, YOKO IS TAKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST HER FIRST HUSBAND ANTHONY COX, AND OTHERS, FOR RELEASING A VIDEO WHICH SHOWS JOHN LENNON SMOKING POT AND SUGGESTING HE DRUG PRESIDENT RICHARD NIXON WITH LSD.

WELL, JUST IMAGINE!

WHAT DO THESE MEN HAVE IN COMMON?

BOTH LIKE LOUD SHIRTS, ARE OLD, BALD, SPONGE OFF MUSICIANS, AND ARE SELL-PROMOTING DICKHEADS. OK, THE ONE ON THE LEFT HAS A BIT MORE HAIR.

SELLABAND

SELLABAND IS AN INTERESTING CONCEPT, WHERE ON LINE YOU CAN BY A SHARE IN AN UNSIGNED ARTIST FOR THEM TO EVENTUALLY REACH A TARGET OF BACKING AND ALLOW THEM TO RECORD A PROFESSIONAL CD AND HAVE IT DISTRIBUTED. SOME FRIENDS HAVE ENTERED THE FRAY, AND WITHIN TWO WEEKS, ARE SECOND ON THE SELLABAND CHARTS. THEY ARE CALLED SANDBOX, CHECK'M OUT AT http://www.sellaband.com/charts/

NEW ORLEANS JAZZ FESTIVAL

THIS IS A GREAT CITY THAT CAN'T BE KILLED. JAMIE DELL'APA, FROM RADIO STATION WWOZ IN NEW ORLEANS IS GOING TO DO A FEATURE SHOW ON ROLAND KIRK, AND I'M DOING SOME COMMENTARY FOR HIM. THEIR STATION PROMOTES THE NEW ORLEANS JAZZ FESTIVAL, AND UNTIL RECENTLY, I WAS IGNORANT OF JUST HOW BIG THIS THING IS. THERE IS LOTS OF JAZZ OF ALL TYPES, BUT THERE IS PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING ELSE AS WELL. IT'S IN APRIL- MAY, OVER 2 WEEKENDS, AND THIS YEAR INCLUDES SANTANA, DR JOHN, ELVIS COSTELLO, DIANA KRALL, STEVIE WONDER, BILLY JOEL, SHERYL CROW, ROBERT PLANT, ALISON KRAUSS, COUNT BASIE ORCHESTRA, JON CLEARY, AL GREEN, RANDY NEWMAN, JIMMY BUFFETT, NEVILLE BROS, AND MANY MANY MORE. THE MID-WEEK IS TAKEN UP BY A SEPARATE BLUES FEST. JUST MIND BOGGLING.

LIFE IMITATING ART

DOC NELSON DOING A DOC NEESON? I KNOW I SAID BEFORE LAST YEARS ELECTION, THAT I WOULDN'T TALK ABOUT POLITICS AGAIN. WELL. TOO BAD, I LIED, JUST LIKE A POLITICIAN. OUR HAPLESS, UNCOOL, DE-EAR RINGED LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION, DOC NELSON IS TOURING, JUST LIKE DOC NEESON DOES. UNCOOL DOC TELLS US HE NOW HAS 4 FENDER STRATS. I THOUGHT A POLITICIAN SHOULD HAVE TELECASTERS.


THIS IS THE ANGEL'S DOC NEESON AND BELOW IS FEDERAL PARLIAMENT'S DOC NELSON. DO I EVER WANT TO SEE HIS FACE AGAIN???? NO WAY, GET F*****, F*** OFF!
WITH APOLOGIES TO ANNABEL CRABB OF THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD!

NO BALI BOMBERS HERE

MY FRIENDS KEITH AND HELEN WERE IN BALI RECENTLY, AND SAT IN WITH THE LOCAL BAND AT THE HARD ROCK CAFE. KEITH'S ON DRUMS, HELEN'S ON BASS. THE PICS ARE TAKEN FROM STILLS OFF A MOVIE. GO ON KEITH, STICK IT ON YOU TUBE.

THE ENGLISH DO THESE THINGS SO WELL

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MUSIC, BUT I AM ALWAYS AMUSED HOW THE BRITISH ARISTOCRACY HAS A PENCHANT FOR OBSCURE SEXUAL ACTIVITY. IT'S JUST BEEN EXPOSED THAT MAX MOSELEY, THE BOSS OF FORMULA ONE MOTOR RACING, AND SON OF SIR OSWALD MOSELEY, THE PRE WAR NAZI LOVER, HAS BEEN BEEN FOUND ENGAGING IN SEXUAL FANTASIES WITH HOOKERS DRESSED AS NAZI CONCENTRATION CAMP GUARDS. THIS, OF COURSE, HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LORD DOWNER'S ATTRACTION TO WEARING FISHNET STOCKINGS.

IT'S JUST AN OPPORTUNITY TO POST A COUPLE OF CARTOONS OF ONE OF MY FAVOURITE POLITICIANS. IT'S A SHAME HE SPENDS SO MUCH TIME AT LUNCH AND ON THE BACK BENCH THESE DAYS, HE WAS ALWAYS GOOD FOR A LAUGH.
