Slow going in the lounge these days, especially since the catastrophe of last week when the eblog munchkin ate the story, been nursing an injury as well, seems i slept in a bad spot a week or so ago at work, being away from my favorite chair turned out to be a drag, now i'm suffering some exotic neck strain that seemed to now settle in the base of the neck and makes things like typing, sleeping, existing a complete fucking drag, so far all forms of self medication have worked so-so but nothing seems to be the cure, i wish Ian McKaye were here, he'd know what to do...
If you haven't seen the footage of the Stooges performing for Madonna's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame i recommend you go see it right now, i'm not a big Madonna fan (though i did one surreal afternoon watch the Limey shampoo the carpets while listening to her greatest hits i believe, i'm hoping i was stoned, drunk or both) but the fact she picked the Stooges to perform as her tribute band was either the best dumb luck ever or shear fucking brilliance, i'm thinking it was the latter cuz say what you want the lady is a top notch promoter and businesswomen... watching a shirtless, old Iggy prance around singing Ray of Light and that other tune was the purest piece of rock and roll the old halls ever seen, the suits in attendance were utterly gobsmacked, they had no fucking idea what was going on whatsoever, with Iggy screaming towards the end, "feel the music, FEEL SOMETHING" as he danced through the front row, the Asheton brothers tore shit up as usual and it took me a second to realize that Mike Watt was playing bass, one piece work uniform and all, it was what Rock and Roll is all about and i could give a shit about the Hall of Fame but if you're gonna have one why ain't the Stooges fucking innit? For that matter what about Watt's old band the Minutemen? well as we all no institutions like that are for the establishment and maybe it's more of an honour to be left out...
and on a lighter note, why is that a Democratic guvner going to a perfectly respectable prostitution ring has to resign while some old Republican with a wide stance ahem solicits gay sex in a bathroom, admits to it and keeps his job? Just remember Sen. Idaho isn't gay, i'd actually respect him more if he admitted he was gay instead of pushing the christo-fascist family man bullshit while shoving boulders up against the closet doors...
here's hoping to a normal neck in the near future or that it starts raining painkillers, the good kind not that over the counter shit.
