Iggy says: "My first pro band was a blues band called The Prime Movers and the leader Michael Erlewine was a very bright hippy beatnik with a beautifully organized record collection in library form of The Blues. I'd never really heard the Blues. That part of our American heritage was kept off the major media. It was system up, people down. No Big Bill Broonzy on BBC for us. Boy I wish! No money in it. But everything I learned from Michael's beautiful library became the building blocks for anything good I've done since." http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/1DBxXYBDJLt2xZgxjzCkLRg/bbc-music-john-peel-lecture-iggy-pops-keynote-speech-transcript

The Juke Box at the Lucky Cue is the altar where we share these offerings. The Lucky Cue was punk for us!  Recall The Cue: You walk in there and the juke box is playing. Two long rows of greenfelt tables, pinball machines up front, more tables and a mezzanine level in the back. And the juke box is playing 96 Tears, Sometimes Good Guys Dont Wear White, You Gonna Miss Me, and Pushing Too Hard, by Question Mark and the Mysterians, the Standells, the 13th Floor Elevators, and the Seeds, respectively. You eye the tables and the thin observing crowd. [This is  shorter rework of an earlier piece.] What's punk? It became a style at some point. It grew out of the English Invasion Era and its antecedents- think Link Wray and Eddie Cochran- then, faded out during the Psychedelic Period, at the same time that it spawned some of what became heavy metal, and came back as a an andidote to long druggy jams, with a name in New York in the mid 70s, yes, thanks to some talents, but also ...

Reading from three favorite poetry anthologies on the back porch on June 17 (anniversary of Watergate breakin!) The three tomes are 1-The Poetry of Surrealism, 2-Sunflower Splendor and 3-Technicians of the Sacred. Unfortunately, the images for the 2 and 3 get swapped in the production. The three poems are Phantom of the Clouds by Guillaume Apollnaire (TR. Michael Benedikt; Dreaming of Li Po 1,2 (actually two poems) by Tu Fu (TR. Eugene Eoyang); and, a stanza of Night Births (from the Kumulip by Keaulumoku) (Tr. Rothenberg?) We finishwork and watch a movie or TV. To go to another place. Poems bring you to another place, too - one of musical language and concise images. I used to have more time and would be out on the porch or out in the woods, maybe with wine, tobacco, and bag full of books that worked the magic. Now, doing that, well, it is more rare. These poems bring you to a street scene as the modern western world unfolds in Paris in the early 20th century; take you to dre...

Jeff DeMark and The La Patinas. Jeff (at about the 10 minute mark) tells the story of our trip, and encountering Bob Dylan, many years ago. Plenty of good music from Jeff and the band, as well.

I heard this first from the Shadows of Knight, which was a big rock band in Chicago. CYO dances, YMCA. And so on. They had heard it obviously from the originators: Them, as it was a hit in England. Like me,  they may have listened to Ron Britain's Sat recap of the British Top Ten. I don’t know. I think I bought Them's second record (found at Penny's) before I found their first record, which included Gloria, Mystic Eyes, Here Comes the Night…I guess Gloria has always been a bit about religion to me. - Jack Vaughan
