Not a suspect

I didn’t catch the details

edit to add or subtract:
a couple days later, watching Godfather II, which is high art:
[B_] received international and sustained press coverage for her response to the question “Do you think women are depicted in movies and on television in an accurate and positive way? And please give us an example.” She answered by naming a prostitute as a positive role model–“I think there are some movies that depict women in a very positive role, and then some movies that put them in a little bit more of a negative role. But by the end of the movie, they show that woman-power that I know we all have. Such as the movie Pretty Woman. We had a wonderful, beautiful woman, Julia Roberts, and she was having a rough time, but, you know what? She came out on top and she didn’t let anybody stand in her path.”[14][15][16][17]

and:
This guy has almost nothing, no, literally nothing to do with the murder trial in Ohio other than a succession of internet search engine taps brings me to him. So I’m sort of mocking the local television coverage of a salacious trial by throwing in a Cincinnati Red Herring of a handsome writer guy, also from Cincy area.

My neighbor, who I just met though she has lived her for 40 years, has a daughter who went to Dartmouth and lives in Cincy, I think she said.Maybe she’s a vet. Speaking of baseball, there are at least three totally obscure baseball players from this home town of the third leg of the alleged triangle. Wonder where Denis Menke was, night of the shooting? Two time all star, 101 career dingers; I have his card:

if they do a movie about this incredibly important chapter in american history, I nominate Izwhat for the soundtrack, just loop this 43 second track over the opening and closing credits:

(The singer was on a label with a former client of mine and I saw him in SF at the Cafe Du Nord I think with a co-led project and I think he was wearing a Richard Nixon rubber mask, which in itself makes him a suspect in the shooting.

I probably should not joke about rights of the accused.
And yeah the media could probably f this u.

andand: the three totally obscure old ballplayers from that same small Ohio town as not the murder suspect but the alleged other woman are Schott, Mossor and Case plus a guy there right now in the bigs, although he has like 7 teams in 10 seasons but what makes this notable is he has an unorthodox delivery, lower than sidearm but higher than submarine, plus he was born in 1984:
430 delivery, which reminds me that this whole thing — the newscast, my blog — is about something that was tried in 2012 or so, then retried on account of there being jury tampering in the form of one juror was an ex-con.

430 delivery

he’s an angel but hes no angel. could his uni possilby say “anger”?

lastly (lord we hope) if it were up to me — and i’m not a prosecutor but I went to college with several future prosecutors so I know what I’m syaing here — I would subpoena the records of the plastic surgeons going back 10 years or so in hat part of Ohio. yeah, so a murder trial is being re-tried 2,000 miles from here and Channel 4 but not the NBC which went to 3 runs footage or captures of a beauty contest and Julia Roberts. But try to cover rights of the accused, and Gideon v. Wainwright…crickets.

ugh, more: i am not a movie producer but a freind incollege made a doc about ROTX, but maybe hire this guy, the poet from the same home town as the alleged “other woman” –also where the sidearm or submarine 420 baseball reliever but nobody’s angel is from, to write the screenplay, and give it a redemption theme: here’s a sample – and I am sort of getting revenge or kicking a hornet’s nest about the author in Canada who named a rapist and killer after me, or named a “Mark Weiss, concert promoter, who did bad very bad breaking bad things in the rest room of The Fillmore and I admit I once followed the agent Frank Riley there at a steve earle show to inquire whether Steve would play Palo Alto and Frank said sure but he needs ten grand.
The bicycle is red—one of the sit-down,
layback types with three wheels and
a basket on the front filled with groceries:
local eggs, milk, cheese, some bacon
(He hasn’t been Kosher in years). A Bengals
pennant blows from the back, although a review said it had a lot of baseball, as does Plastic Alto, which, ahem makes me a suspect or a person of interest in the murder.

sunday 2 p.m. or top of the 4th watching the giants rangers game 1-1:
I wrote to the station to complain, under this header: new bikini footage found in 4-year-old murder re-trial

God bless John McCain, in hospice in Phoenix

673C4F04-4BC9-43EA-8008-843DEFD692D0

I recommend Mission Hospice of San Mateo

1936-2018

from the times:
Whipsawed by family relocations, young John attended some 20 schools before finally settling into Episcopal High School, an all-white, all-boys boarding school in Alexandria, Va., in the fall of 1951 for his last three years of secondary education. The school, with an all-male faculty and enrollments drawn mostly from upper-crust families of the Old South, required jackets and ties for classes.

But the scion of one of the Navy’s most illustrious families was defiant and unruly. He mocked the dress code by wearing dirty bluejeans. His shoes were held together with tape, and his coat looked like a reject from the Salvation Army. He was cocky and combative, easily provoked and ready to fight anyone. Classmates called him McNasty. Most gave him a wide berth.

Counting counts

B88E100C-3039-4EB0-8B50-AED9B17853CE.jpeg

edit to add: and they probably hate this, but I found myself, late last night on Damon Wood’s site, which has a long history of Engine 88. When Adam was interviewed in Rolling Stone he said his favorite SF band was Engine 88. He played with a band member in Sordid Humor. (whereas others in Engine were in Smoking Section — I saw Sordid Humor at Bear’s Lair with Rob Lederman once and also Himalayans at Paradise maybe with AD featuring. Also, I booked Engine once or twice into the Cub — I also booked Patty Spiglanin Naked Barbies once or twice — but this is about Engine not NB)

engine

Engine 88 circa 1998 by Jay Blakesburg: Damon guitar, Dave drums, singer guy, bass guy

It’s kinda weird the only specific thing I recall about Engine is the lyric but not the melody “I used to kill in my dreams”.

Dave Hawkins of Engine also worked for Elliot Cahn to manage Green Day. I used to stalk David trying to glean info about the biz. I recall he called (who I already loved and was hipped to, by my sources friends in Chapel Hill) Eric Bachman “one of the best voices in the biz” about the quality of his throat not necessarily his “vision”.

What spurs this blast is that Terry TMW and I went to the Giants game and had good seats on account of her brother’s shared ticket plan and I chatted up briefly a sports writer named Julie Parker who is stationed just above the aisle behind home plate — maybe that’s why the old hands sit higher up, so as not to be chatted up — mainly because she has a Jawbreaker sticker on her laptop computer. I talked to her about Engine because I think they are related to Engine. Maybe they both were in early Noise Pop when it was a Kevin Arnold gig but before Jordan Kurland. So: I think Counting Crows are linked to Engine and Engine are linked to Jawbreaker yet I don’t think Jawbreaker are linked to Counting Crows. (Nor is Naked Barbies linked to either, not likely). Unless Immergluck played in all of the above. I liked Adam’s monologue about being young and poor — and living with Immi? — that someone taped and posted. Engine played Cubberley twice I think, once with Overwhelming

Colorfast and American Sensei. I recall that Chad Dyer a recent Stanford grad (with Michael Drake) made a cool all type sticker silver metallic but someone put it on a window at Antonio’s nut house and Antonio himself called me quite angry and i went out a bought a wire brush from the hardware store on Cambridge and Birch (now a hair salon, unless it is a turkish restaurant) — imagine how cool it would be to have an Engine 88 sticker still on window of Antonios! Also: what idiot has his phone number — mine– on a sticker? Mike Drake later formerd Oranger and Amazing Grease, maybe with Jawbreaker dude or dudes. I believe I met Michael Drake at my Archers of Loaf show in 1995 — he shook my hand while exciting and thanked me for doing this. Archers drove up from LA tour during a monsoon and flood that cancelled a sharks hockey game. They were on cover of CMJ that same week. The bassist Matt Gentling signed the cover something like “I don’t believe this” or “This is weird’. I think I had to toss the cover and other important Earthwise Cubberley ephemera and records just about a year ago — 20 years on — when I married and moved in with TMW or then known as TMT. I also tossed the wire brush.

and1 or and4:
Tom Barnes, Engine 88: I used to kill in my dreams, (or is it “kiln”? — maybe he wants to be a ceramicist)
Adam Duritz: We got different reasons for that.
Mark Stewart aks Stew, The Negro Problem –opened 10 shed dates for CC in 2003: I burned her at my stake.
Chris Seefried, Godschild and Joe 90, signed to E Pluribus Adams boutique: Freak me out, dead man. Not sure why 3 of 4 above are so violent. Angst about 1990s Cold War Oil wars? Current?

anand: if adam duritz was the allen ginsburg of the late 1990s sf indie zeitgeist then Tom barnes of engine 88 was the john wieners. (I put this on damon’s site where he posted a board tape of the fillmore sessions show in 1996 — i listend to 8 of 10 tracks seeking that lyric before TMW made me help her groom the dog.

Beer goggles for Cmdr Jim Campbell

D7BBBB12-5D0B-44D8-9E04-A23D0AEFA749.jpeg
I’m at a sports bar, the sports bar, and I’m drawn to the shrine for Jim Campbell. He played hoops and lacrosse for Us Naval Academy —- THSNKS FOR YOUR SERVICE — and teammate of Rogers Staubach and continued serving as director of physical education. I met his brother Bill Campbell a handful of times.

There’s a group of heavy metal and electronic musicians from Mordic who are posing as high tech entrepreneurs and draninkig all the coffee at certain Palo Alto public houses which reminds me that I saw my former Key Chevrolet Expos teammate Nick Sturiale the VC at lunch today and bought his “sauna” a round of reposado.

Sergio Romo is 155th MLB reliever to notch 100 career saves, according to Schulman of the Chron, wikipedia and baseball reference dot com

romo

dint realize he was a devil ray

But Schulman of the Chron still hates me because I gave him grief about not getting name right regarding former Dartmouth manager and Giants hurler Jeff Tesreau (who he conflated with Jack Chesbro)

And Terry TMW are going to park Saturday thanks to broin but not Doggie Day Sunday or Shulem concert Wednesday.

Lunch with Terry, Duffy and Mad Bum

30FC6CB4-B140-4B47-839C-2F8F4E27D55D

and then and this is apparently and internet exclusive during the broadcast they announce that the Jewish Heritage Night next Wednesday will feature a pre-game concert with Shulem Lemmer a Universal music group signee (previous version of this promotion featured Matisyahu in 2013 — and I saw Mowglis at a Giants pre-game once with their cousin the super attorney Andy Dieden, Colin Dieden’s dad’s cousin.

this could beget “Schulman v Shulem”
