Re: Bonzo's squeaky bass drum pedal

["Larry Burnett" <lburnett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah Yes,
Those damn squeeky pedals! There was once a time when this was my 
absolute faveorite song, I would put on the headphones and get so into the 
groove that my wife and kids would sit ther and laugh, but I didn't care.....shit, 
that song just really kicked my ass. And then some doofus had to point out 
that you can plainly hear Bonzo's base pedal squeeking when he hit it it. 
FUCK! Now, there's simply no way I can groove along like I did before, the 
squeek is just too damn annoying. Oh sure, there are some great live versions 
(anything from the '73 tour) but it aint the same. And now it's gone forever, 
virginity lost.........

And how 'bout that friggin phone ringing in The Ocean? It took me forever to 
hear it after it was first pointed out, but now I can't miss it. Of course it doesn't 
detract from it like the pedals in SIBLY. Does anyone remember, or even better 
yet have, the story that Tracy Hutcherson wrote a couple years ago about who 
was on that phone? Great story, wish I could recite it.


Bless your socks,
Larry
