rancid social compromises

[Ed Zeppelin <grab1196@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

1). I can't believe what a bunch of choad-smoking fart-knockers y'all are.
(Happy now Larry?) I'd hate to see you try to run something really
important, considering the brain power that's going into this freaking name
vote joke. It doesn't require a degree in statistics to figure this out. It
requires a single vote on what the new name for the list should be.
Included in this list is the current name. A vote for the current names
equals a vote for keeping the name the same (you wouldn't think this needed
to be pointed out). Apologies to the few people who have already noticed this.
 I used to think it was somewhat important (ie worth spending 10 minutes
on) to get a decent name for the list. That was before I learned it
required a majority vote in congress, corporate backing, UN sanctioning,
the Pope's signature, and a military strike team at the ready to enforce
the results of the vote just to get anything done.

 Smile; I love you!  :-)

2). Cigarette smoking destroys your vocal cords, creating nodules that
prevent the cords from closing all the way as they should. This reduces
vocal range (a lot) and causes a "breathiness" in the voice, like Demi
Moore's. It also causes damage to the tissues, which reduces the elasticity
of the cords themselves. 
 In fact, this contributed in a big way to the deterioration of Robert's
voice in the '70s. It blows my mind that anyone who makes a living from
using their voice would even tolerate smoking around them, much less do it
themselves.

3).Empty-Vee News special today focused on alcohol. Bonham was mentioned,
clips from TSRTS were shown, it was pointed out that John is dead. Next
time someone says "Hoist one in memory of Bonzo," try to notice the bitter
irony.

4).Soup is good.

5).I played a retrospective of Bob's solo career on my show today. I
covered all the albums except Shaken 'n' Stirred, because it sucks. I also
played 21 Years. It was actually interesting to go through his
post-Zeppelin career like that. There was a definite evolution of style.
And Rainer kicks ass.

6).Keith Richards on the Beatles' All You Need Is Love: 
     "Try *livin'* on it."

7).Jimmy has no chest hair because Jean has it all in a jar.

8).Robert has a great ass, but Bonzo probably knew better than anyone.

9).Where's Ana?

10).I wish Zeppelin had let someone film their backstage orgies like the
Stones did. I want to see naked groupies. Any progress liberating that
Vanilla Fudge Red Snapper 8mm footage from the hoarder?

11).If Page and Plant go to a basic guitar/bass/drums combo, the
limitations of That Hack(tm) Charlie Jones will be revealed for once and
for all. There are a lot of good bass players around...Johnny Colt just
quit the Black Crowes for unspecified reasons, hmmmmmmmm. ;-)

12).Mama, please, save me a slice.


 Dark horse,
