^ Willie and crew stayed at a hotel I worked at in Longview Tx. After they checked out, another bellman and myself rushed to his room to get what was left in the ashtrays before the maids got there.

I have many fantasies John.. crossed off a many in wilder youth.. but some sadly I never managed to cross off..oh yes.. #1..an invite to the tour bus and smoking with Willlie.
My blood red Willie and not trusting those that don't smoke dope T-shirt is not just one of favorite shirts.. but a favorite of my office on casual Fridays...

Willie is a funny guy. He couldn't find the stairs so he jumped from the second floor to the ground with all the maids screaming for him to not do it out of fear for his safety.

fear of his safety? Yes I can see that.
He isn't just 'famous' ..he's pure Americana John..not merely a musical legend.. but a cultural one. There have only two musicians I have truly idolized.. not just for their music and talents as I do with Jack and Duane...but the lives they led. George was one.. Willie is the other. He is a true American icon and treasure. The last remaining one we have I believe.. truly larger than life.

Doing some further reading, I just learned that Gahan Wilson died last year, age 89. He did some famous National Lampoon covers in the 70's, and his comic strip 'Nuts' - wonderful, often macabre memories of childhood - was one of the longest running in the magazine's history. Maybe second only to Shary Flenniken's 'Trots and Bonnie' - which is actually finally coming out in book form this year. |

Re Micky: George Harrison?!? Really?? Maybe there is a joke here I am not getting, I was thinking George Jones. George Clinton would have been acceptable too.

not a joke ... that would mean I actually had a sense of humor...
you say 'George' in terms of rock music and even here in the 3rd of the 21st.. the vast majority know exactly who you mean. as far as Jack... I assumed my man lust of him was as well known as my homoertoic love of Duane but I'd give you a pass on not knowing that. You're a keyboardist.. not a f**king bassist

You've mentioned Jack many times in the past, but George kind of surprised me, oh well.
Jack is cool, Hot Tuna, jamming with Jimi etc. Jimi, now there is a first name no one will have to explain for a couple more centuries, same for Miles. |

first name only rock royalty indeed which George is as much (if not more) a part of..
surprised.. I could see that John. even as long as we've conversed here. For me he is as much personal as musical .. he was a gateway to not just my personal salvation.. but to my survival... and that I don't often talk about. While I joke about some aspects of my past.. others I keep tight rein on .. even Raff knows I won't talk to her about some aspects of it. Things only those that have been through can understand. I'll never forget a personal symmetry of when Lennon was murdered and helping console my mother who just broke down upon hearing the news.. and the ridicule and abuse my ex threw at me when I broke down when Harrison died.

I hear ya, there are a couple song lyrics here and there that had a huge impact on me, but it would all sound silly and trite here on an open forum.

George Jones? You ask anyone who has ever listened to a rock album to name a famous musician named George, it will never be George Jones. Perhaps someone living in a trailer in the foothills of Appalachia might say George Jones, but even that is doubtful. |
