From a 1975 National Lampoon You know it's the mid 70's when these two artists managed to get full page ads in an American (non-music) magazine.   ------------- Believe me Pope Paul, my toes are clean |

This is a whole other topic. But NatLamp started as a magazine in 1970 - a spinoff from The Harvard Lampoon - and their golden age is generally considered to be around 70-75, long before they ended up as a film franchise with substantially different contributors. Their early magazine stuff is incredibly good. To hell with all that Christmas Vacation rubbish. They were also responsible for some of the greatest rock parodies ever (look up 'Magical Misery Tour' for an amazing John Lennon parody circa 1970) ------------- Believe me Pope Paul, my toes are clean |

I remember this magazine. Hilarious. They also released albums. Also hilarious. And they published parodies of the Lord of the Rings (Bored of the Rings) and the Hobbit (the Bobbit).

It's great to see a mention of Hawkwind's 'Warrior on the Edge of Time' . I was still at school , when it came out, but lucky enough to see the band play several tracks from the album in their UK tour the following year ( 1976). As far as I remember, the album sleeve opened out to form a shield.

Willie is a funny guy.

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. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

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. ------------- Believe me Pope Paul, my toes are clean |

Re Micky: George Harrison?!? Really?? Maybe there is a joke here I am not getting, I was thinking George Jones.

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'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. ------------- Help the victims of the russian invasion: http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28523&PID=130446&title=various-ways-you-can-help-ukraine#130446 |

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. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

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.

| I turned 13 in 1975 and was already getting into prog rock in a big way. My Dad took me and a couple of mates to a local one day rock festival which I lapped up. I remember the DJ played the second half of 'Gates of Delirium' and the main act was Limelight - who later became associated with NWOBHM - but were more prog then.
