I have to admit I thought ring Lardner was a boxer until I met James Baer at Yardley named for Scotty Reston the year his dad John won a PulitzerI have to admit I thought ring Lardner was a boxer until I met James Baer at Yardley name for Scotty rest in the air his dad John won a Pulitzer for the post

I want to say I would’ve watched more than nine minutes of alibi Ike with Joe B Brown and Williams Frawley a.k.a. Fred Mertz if it weren’t that I had to pick up a friend from the airport and then go to a hotel and check him in and then go walk the dog and then go like 2 miles towards training towards my half marathon next year and then rent a keyboard and then produce a jazz concert and then pack for a business trip and then hire a dog walker

And I have no idea how Miss Guyana ended up in my article about the media and baseball and Sauk City  other than to say it’s hard to dust for Russian hackers — Which reminds me that we used to have a book and I did a book report about it in high school and it was a local author that knew my grandfather in is called a pennant for the Kremlin on the premise that somehow a baseball team was bequeath by an American sympathetic liberal to the Soviets during the Cold War see also Truman Capote traveling with Porgy and Bess in Moscow.

Kool-Aid VS Gatorade idioms

Posted on October 24, 2019 by markweiss86


Glenn Reeves of PAW has an article about Foothill starting the gridiron season 6-0. I commented that College of San Mateo is also undefeated, and ranked #1 in the state — I had been tracking Darrell Page the former St. Francis standout.

The Foothill coach cautions the world not to expect so much so early in the season. They had a similar start prevously, but ran out of gas.

He said “don’t expect us to drink the Kool-aid so early”.

I wrote back: Hey, Coach, don’t drink the Kool-aid at all!”

Drink the Kool-aid is a tacky and pejorative reference to the murder of several hundred Guyanese in 1976 by Jim Jones. (I.e. Jonestown Massacre). It has become a weird busness jargon.

I think Coach Owls was referencing “Gatorade showers” which started wtih New York Giants Jim Burt in 1984 and persist. That is, the players prank their coach after a winning climax to season by pouring the Gatorade on him. As in, normally if you fuck with your coach he makes you do pushups or something. Its sort of like asking don Corleon a favor on his wedding day.

I hope your child is a masculine child, Foothill coach.
Me, too, says the CSM coach.

Hans Delannoy, the former Cubberley player, gunn and cub coach and San Ramon High hall of famer and I will take in CSM DVC in a few weeks. But CSM City College wil be a hoot.

Also, I’m fixing to take in St Ignatius game to see Touchdown Teddye sic Buchanan. Also, I still want to see Gunn’s high octane offense and Eitan Smolyan, Israeli American fastback.
Also, Dartmouth’s in town again, so to speak as the backs go tearing by, which is a reference to a football song written by a coach.

Speaking of which, keep your bananas peeled for a concert on March 20, 2020, with zydeco legendy cJ chenier and the Dartmouth Coast jazz band – -there is no coast in Hanover, NH just a river bank. and a ski jump. and 20,000 acres of hiking. and a small hill. and a tower. or two towers. and a football painted in bright 1970s stripes by the father of a classmate I never spoke to named I think Stephanie Anuskiwicz. Her dad Richard Anuskiwicz painted a ball in honor of maybe 1970 football and it was on display in alumni gyn for a while. Dartmouth was Barbary Coast Jazz Band before they got shaved, politically. (Referencing The Barbery Coast is not as tacky as Jonestown — I did once book a band Brian Jonestown Massacre, tacky enough, and evil. They were packaged with Geraldine Fibbers, pre-Nels Cline. Not to be confused with Butcher Hollers, which I thought was a gay thing but is actually flat out country. I’m here all week, try to salmon mouuse.

Jay Som gets some in New York and national media

Posted on October 23, 2019 by markweiss86


I’m midweek in one of the busiest of the last 20 years but at 1:23 today I flipped open my lap top to post about Jay Som the singer songwriter from East Bay — with the same last name as one of the world’s worst dicatators and populists — being one of the six most important shows this week in all of The Big Apple , according to The New Yorker.

Pinay takes Manhattan.

I forget this person’s name but she has a very good video explaining Bertrand Russell and Russell’s Paradox:

Hosteen Klah VS Mimi Parker

Posted on October 20, 2019 by markweiss86

i Just was listening to “ Dancing and Bleeding “ a new song by the Duluth LDS quiet indie band Low and its electronica beat reminds me of Native American tom sounds, perhaps for dance.

I had to look up the story of the Wheelright founding. One site referenced 1,300 wax cylinder of music of pueblo singers of the 1930s in Berlin museum.

Jonathan Batkin told me once I could NOT check out their sacred music holdings.

I saw Low at the refurbished Old Union at Stanford.

Hosteen Klah sometimes Hastiin was friend of Ms Wheelright.

Duluth is angler version of an early french New France explorer something something Du Luht

Sylvie Simmons sluds Earthwise sonly

Posted on October 20, 2019 by markweiss86
ED5B46A0-1D62-4615-AD64-D0E56A0FDE23

Author and uketarian to support Matt the Electrician November soonly at Cubberley Community Center’s H-1 Room. Tickets at EventBrite. I Earthwise did 150 shows in 3 different spaces at The Cub in the 1990s but not in about 18 years. H-1 was Ron Jones’ classroom during The Wave. It is also nearest to Rick’s Rather Rich.

i obviously have more to say but meanwhile here is Sylvie herself on the matter:
Sylvie is an award-winning writer, the author of fiction and non-fiction books and a leading music journalist since the late ’70s. She is one of very few women included among the predominantly male rock writing elite. The BBC made a documentary about her, titled The Rock Chick.
Her books include biographies of Neil Young and Serge Gainsbourg, and, most recently the New York Times and international best-seller I’m Your Man: The Life Of Leonard Cohen, which has been translated into 25 languages.
Sylvie is also singer-songwriter and ukulele player. In 2014 she signed with Light In The Attic Records and released her debut album Sylvie to worldwide acclaim. The UK Guardian newspaper hailed it as “one of the most beautiful albums of the year”; Rolling Stone magazine said, “She’s not only good, she’s good”; and the UK Times newspaper described her as “Poetic, guileless, reminiscent of a female Leonard Cohen.”
—————
More….
Born and raised in London, Sylvie started playing music when she was five. At age eight she was singing and tap-dancing onstage. But in her teens, paralyzed by stage fright when she performed with her guitar, she turned to writing about music instead. In 1977 she moved to Los Angeles to be the US correspondent for leading UK rock magazine Sounds, and went on to work for major music publications and newspapers around the world, interviewing everyone from Michael Jackson to Metallica, Black Sabbath to Johnny Cash. She also had a syndicated radio show in the US and a syndicated newspaper column. But, homesick, she moved back to London, where she continued to write about music. After a period li

Which reminds me: speaking of “li”  – I have an idea for a Robert Hunter Hoot modified to be Lint Hunt wherein the performers would be limited to Robert Hunter songs, or songs sung by Linda Ronstadt, or from Texas.
