Maybe The People Would Be The Times Or Between Clark And Hilldale

Jonesy is always wondering what this song is about when he plays it.  He has asked so many times I have decided to investigate it for myself:
Before we begin, we already know from the title that maybe the people would be the times-- probably the times that are being lived in, and not chronological or clock times--and therefore that the people themselves would be the times. That the singer could define the times by the people if the people would agree. Moreover, those people appear to be found, at least during the writing of this song, between Clark and Hilldale. And I surmise from MC5 on JJB that it must be the stretch of Sunset between those two streets, which I now imagine as some sort of Haight/Ashbury. 


But it occurs to me that the writer came to this song in more ordinary encounters with fans who expressed appreciation for his music when they chanced to see him on the street. Or perhaps from bumping into his musical cronies or acquaintances on the street, maybe after he had been away touring, or in the studio or recording, or something else that would have taken him away from the shared "times." Or maybe it was just a really tiresome Love record release party, that he didn't want to seem ungrateful for, but frankly, had no desire to attend.
Verse 1:What is happening and how have you been
Gotta go but i'll see you again
And oh, the music is so loud
And then i fade into the...

A meeting, and greeting. He must be off, but another meeting is assured. The music is so loud. The music around him? The music inside of him? And where is the singer going? To die? Back into dreams? Back to oblivion? Back home? Back on the road?A surplus of meaning. Wherever he is going, the music is so loud that he will fade, fade into the...???

Verse 2:Crowds of people standing everywhere
'cross the street i'm at this laugh affair
And here they always play my songs
And me, i wonder if it's...

AH, he's fading into a crowd of people!! And as we read on we see that it's something that leaves one laughing? Are they laughing at him? Is it laughable? Well, they always play his songs, so it's probably shared laughter. Or is it one of those horrible record company get togethers? A release party or something where all of his contemporaries are there, and some are just old news, and tired and obsolete? It's very crowded, that's for sure. And he's wondering.... What is he wondering???

Verse 3:Wrong or right they come here just the same
Telling everyone about their games
And if you think it obsolete
Then you go back across the street
Yeah, street, hey hey

He's wondering about right and wrong, and the nature of right and wrong. And whether the collective motive to coming to this undefined "here"-- this here of laughter, where the singer's songs are played-- is right or wrong, and further, that hidden motives are being revealed. Everything is being questioned. Or perhaps that is game itself? How droll, how sophisticated, how cynical they are, telling everyone about their games. How rich, how bored, how boring.

However, if you have transcended this revelation of the games, and feel it is obsolete, this judgement (right vs wrong), then simply go back across the street. Which we might divine, given the name of the song, is a real street. But at any rate, there is another crossing, another transition. Perhaps back to ones roots, or back into the music, or back to the beginning, or back to simplicity.

Verse 4:When i leave now don't you weep for me
I'll be back, just save a seat for me
But if you just can't make the room
Look up and see me on the...

But something has changed. The singer has changed and the relationship to his environment has changed. Some unknown love and bonding has entered this scenario, for weeping is presumed to follow the departure. It must be consoled and assured that a return can be expected. The atmosphere and the gathering, despite the anticipated weeping, is very casual. And if you can't save the seat, if it is filled in my absence, look up and see me... Where will you see me? Shmoozing with someone else and promising to return? What? Where? When will you see me?
Verse 5:Moon's a common scene around my town
Yeah where everyone is painted brown
And if we do get stuck away
Let's go paint everybody gray
Yeah, gray, yeah

AH, of course! You do remember don't you? All musicians are really sorcerors. Witches and shamans and medicine men. Speaking to us in the language of our hearts. Making music of our feelings. Singing to us the sounds of moonlight on a clear night. The moon is common scene around the singer's town. And common among night people, which musicians surely are as well. And common among the hippies and the partiers and Sunset night life that lives on still. Or perhaps this is the end of the money, the label's belief in you, the end of touring and these parties and back into being unknown, almost.

Back to being as far away from all of this as being on the moon.

But everyone is painted brown. There is no colour distinction, no race, or perhaps it is the dulling of ones bright and true colours. The lifeless masks we don for one another, to "fit in." But if we get stuck while we are away, we can paint everyone grey... Perhaps this is the shade uncertainity, or the mixing of all the peoples of the world, or perhaps, a rhyming word, chosen under the auspices not only of the Lady herself, the moon, but her favourite Love Child consort, LSD. Or perhaps we can make everything the same again, and start all over again, revealing, as artists do, those bright colours beneath the mask...

There are many meanings to this song. That is what I see.

12 SEPTEMBER 2005: THE GREAT L.A. POWER OUTTAGE

Five after 12 bells, and the temperature is nice. Shovel thinks there will be more heatwaves.

Jonesy says we will have more of the Indian Summer. He likes warm summer nights. They make him feel good.

Chelsea beat someone. (Footie.) He pulled his groin playing his own game this weekend. (Hollywood United, I think is his team's name. They are pretty well known among the Brits I know here.) He's never pulled a groin muscle before.

"What are your loins?" He asks Shovel. "I know what a loin cloth is, but what are loins?"

"A child is a fruit of your loins," says Shovel.

"Yeah but where is it? Is the loins the groin?" He questions further. And should he wear a loin cloth?

"Perhaps a listener will know," says Shovel

Jonesy's legs hurt too, and he's never pulled a groin muscle before.

What's going on with that bloody disaster--is Bush paying the bills down there? Jonesy wonders, regarding Katrina.

Shovel wants to change the subject.

A boxed set of someone-- CATCH THE WIND-- oh, I think this is Donovon.

Donovon, CATCH THE WIND
Velvet Underground, SUNDAY MORNING ("Nico on vocals," he comments. "Beautiful!")
Leo Sayer, GIVING IT ALL AWAY ("Roger Daltrey had a hit with this.")
Rod Stewart, MANDOLIN WIND ("Monday morning blues set," comments Jonesy.)
Antony and the Jonhsons, HOPE THERE IS SOMEONE (** They have a gig at the Los Feliz Vista Theatre later this month, per Jonesy.)

The Duke: Radio Shack

The power went out and I missed the whole rest of the show.

OKAY-- I am back for the re-broadcast.

"Steven Nostradamus," he says.

The Duke: BMW

"It's chaos out there," says Jonesy of the power outtage. "Orange County is out as well."

Shovel says, let's all stay calm and just get home okay.

Jonesy just said the "t" word. Terrorist.

Both agree that there is no reason to get crazy. Stay calm.

"I'm going to calm the city," says Jonesy. (Only those of us that actually have battery powered radios.)

Oh my god, this is the silliest Jonesy song I have ever heard. It's starts out to FIVE YEARS.

"Five minutes/ five minutes what a surprise/ that's all we got/we all are going to die/ in five minutes/ in five minutes/ in five lovely minutes/ oh oh oh/ what's it like to die?/ Five sausages/ that what I fancy when I am anxious/ five sausage rolls, with branston pickle/ and sausage rolls/ five bunk ups too take away my worries/ five bunk ups before we all die..."

YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! Stay calm, Los Angeles, counsels Jonesy.

Shovel is playing a clip. 
 "Please don't panic /we are going to orange alert/ then to red alert, we're all going to die..."

"Drive your cars into the back of the bloke in front of you/ don't worry about no lights/ get out of your car and smash someone's face in/ nick a handbag off some old lady, off some helpless lady/ see a bloke in a wheelchair/ smash his bleeding head in/ calm yourself /calm yourself.."

"You are too square I have to straighten you out," another Shovel clip. (How does he come up with these so fast?)

"I count to five this will be a dream/you will be coming up from the elevator/ you know what I mean/ it's been a phantasm/ it's been a phantasm of life..."

"Human error...This sort of thing has cropped up before... "

Shovel has another clip.

"Five men went into a toilet/ five men had a look at each other/ five men with funny coloured hankies out of the back of their pockets....Five birds that's all I ask for/ five birds, in their twenties/ in their twenties/ just for tonight, yes I'd be fine/ five manchiefrills/ clouding up the sky with their/ five manchiefrills, oh yeah..."

"I can no longer sit back and allow communist subversion, and the international communist consipiracy..." a final clip from Shovel on the matter.


The whistling song was MAGGIE MAY.  Jonesy bought this when he was 15 and he didn't know nothing. He bought it at the HMV Record Shoppe because it had a cool cover. It was Saturday and sunny, and he went to Cookies' house. They listened to it, and Jonesy was like "he's the man, he has a great voice." Maggie May was the number one album in the US and the UK after that. Jonesy was so proud that he bought it before anyone else, before it became popular.

"I am a visionary, aren't I, Shovel?" Shovel concurs that Jonesy had a feeling in his "gutty wutty" just moments before the power went out.

"If you are young and you want to be saved," come up to Jonesy's tonight and he will save you.

Red Walls, MEMORIES
Ian Hunter, ??
(He must have played these before his FIVE YEARS spoof. Maybe Killing Joke, too, I wasn't paying close attention.)

Killing Joke, WAR DOGS
The Damned, NEAT NEAT NEAT
PIL, ANNALISA

"Two water and power concubines aren't working," per Jonesy.

This is the second hour. I'll have to get up early tomorrow morning.

People are driving all silly and stuff because of the blackout, says Jonesy.

"Please make room for me, when I leave the station! While the rest of you die, I just want to get home," says Jonesy.

"Such a caring guy," snorts Shovel.

"That's me," says Jonesy. "Fanks for listening!"

9 SEPTEMBER 2005: RED WALLS, SLIM JIM, COOKIE

I missed alot:

They are singing more right now-- it's 2:05 but I heard that it's going to be a three hour show. I am going to try hear both parts of the re-broadcast-- if they play it tonight. I wonder if they will, because it's the radio-thon?

Red Walls are the guest. They are playing tonight. When I left it was Slim Jim Phantom and a guy from the Smithereens. I hope they play the re-broadcast.

Faces, TOO BAD
Boz Skaggs, DIRTY LOWDOWN
Kathy Macias (sp?), Title???

They sold Jonesy's shoes for $300 each!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!

One more size ten... you know what they say about big feet....

COOKIE IS THERE!!! And Slim Jim is there too!!!!!

It's crazy there today and Cookie had to sit in the lobby. Cookie was in Joshua Tree and it was waay hot. The only people out there were from DELIVERANCE in the desert. (And all the acid freaks.) Jonesy feels sorry for Ned Beatty.

They are talking about Bolan and how everyone is fan. Jonesy is remembering seeing him, and Cookie is talking about the shrine where Bolan crashed his car. Every year at Bolan's birthday there is big to-do where people tie ribbons to the tree.

Jonesy thinks that's where they yellow ribbon comes from.  Jonesy plays on that new Dead Men Walking Bolan cover.

Cookie is trying not to swear again.

,
, HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE
,
,


I think Cookie and Jonesy were talking about he old days. ...

"We was only together for two years, from start to finish," Cookie says of the SP.

"How many shows? 100 or 102?"

"We played around London, at --- University," Jonesy remembers.

"For the legacy we left, nothing at all," concludes Cookie.

"And one album, really," says Jonesy. Jonesy says he worries about stuff.

Slim Jim says back then it was only the gig and your mates. You didn't worry about nothing else.

"Now we got mortgages," says Jonesy.

"Telling our kids what to do," Cookie says.

I can't keep up with this conversation. SJ son is in a band with Billy Idols kid. Cookie's kid is doing something with Matlock-- her name is Holly. Both are blessed with good kids'.
Cookie says be sure to raise em up right "belt em, lock em in the closet."
Slim Jim just says "Son, see all my friends, behave or you will end up like us." He's too lazy to hit them with the belt.
Jonesy would like a spanking. C0uld Slim Jim provide it?

"10 lashes."

They are going to play Cookie's daughter's song.

Holly Cook's song rocks!!!!!!!!!! Grrlll rock!!!! YEA!!!! Edgy pop.

Holly Cook, YEAH RIGHT

There were I think two songs after this, and they talked about some stuff. And I think SJ will be back, and too bad Cookie doesn't live here, because he's going back on Sunday. But what happened was, Blogger shut down for maintenance, and while I was trying to post, it lost everything. It was such an awesome show. I will try to catch the re-broadcast.

GOD SAVE JONESY!!!

8 SEPTEMBER 2005

JONESY IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's been very sick!!! Shovel is suspicious, but I think Jonesy is telling the truth.

Jonesy brought a note from his Doctor. Shovel reads it: "Steve is all knackered out."

The party was great, per Shovel and Jonesy. His friend Richard threw it for him. Jonesy isn't into all the attention about birthdays so he is very glad someone threw the party for him.

The Jonesy jubilee t-shirts were a big hit at the party, and Shovel didn't want to fight for one. Jonesy only has one left and it's a XX which might be a bit too big for slender Shovel.

Jonesy has been watching CNN and Fox, and he is horrified. He doesn't want to bring anyone down. Instead for the next two hours he is going to try to cheer us up!!!!!!!!!!

YAY JONESY!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's singing some song from the 70's. Oh, it's MORE THAN A FEELING.

He's going to do WARM LEATHERETTE. He's doing the one by???? Not the Grace Jones version. (I wish he'd play some Grace Jones.) Shovel remembers. It's The Normal.

Dana Gillespie, ANDY WARHOL (Brittany the CD detective found this, produced by Bowie. It's very hard to get.)
Velvet Underground, WHITE LIGHT
Rolling Stones, I'M GOING DOWN
ZZ Top, (missed the song title)

Jonesy saw Dana Gillespie at the theatre where ROCKY HORROR started. It was on Kings Road.

Joe Sib is there. He tells Jonesy that he looks great, and that he expected him to look horrible, because he sounded so horrible on the phone.

"You look great! Freshly showered and shaved. Maybe the flu was just getting something else out of you!"

"My inherent ugliness?" Quips Jonesy.

"Maybe I should leave you two alone," says Shovel.

Shovel is a bit of a homophobe, per Jonesy and Sib, and doesn't want to say a guy looks good.

There is nothing wrong with two blokes complimenting each other! "Quick, Shovel, say something complimentary!"

They try to egg him on. Shovel won't cave.

THERE WILL BE A 48 HOUR RADIO-A-THON STARTING WITH DICKY'S SHOW TOMORROW MORNING at 7 AM. THE EVACUEES FROM NEW ORLEANS WILL BE AT THE STATION. DICKY & SIB ARE GOING TO AUCTION OFF "AN ITEM AN HOUR." A FOO FIGHTERS GUITAR, SOCIAL D, RANCID, GREEN DAY, A LONG LIST OF STUFF, SOME CONCERT TICKETS. (Yet no one has taken up my idea for Mardi Gras beads...oh well..)

BTW, the 48 hours is in "indie hours" so that might mean 36 hours. They are trying to find someone for the super late shift, and Shovel goes "why are you looking at me?"

Jonesy thinks give some money to Red Cross and don't tell anyone.

The Duke: Guitar Center (gee, they are having a big sale, surprise, suprise)


Magpie Twenty Themes, CCS was the artist, WHOLE LOTTA LOVE (Per Jonesy, this was the theme song of Top Of The Pops for like, twenty years, and it has a cheesy flute. And he thinks CCS was just a group of session players. Shovel thinks Page stole the riffs from some old blues song. 

Lou Reed, MEN OF GOOD FORTUNE
John Cale, BIG WHITE CLOUD
David Bowie, WATERLOO SUNSET (This is on Japanese import of REALITY, which is also very hard to find-- too bad-- this is great great cover!)

(My radio keeps losing the station completely! WTF???)

Holy g-spot, Batman! Jonesy is playing Zeppelin! I am having an orgasm...Oh, well now he's being silly again "I gotta whole lotta salad..."

He's whistling to give away some buttons. "Badges, buttons, whatever you call them, of the finest tin."

The Duke: HB Toyota

Two winners. (Both birds, he should be happy about that!) It was a Joe Walsh song. But I missed the title. He's playing it, and singing his man who can lyrics "I'm the man who can/ two hours a day/take the blues away..." I agree!

Joe Walsh, A LIFE OF ILLUSION

There is something wrong at the station-- not my radio. Jonesy cut off the song and announced there was a "machine in the ghost"!

"Mr Sting, is there a machine in my ghost?"

Jonny & Edgar Winter, JUMPING JACK FLASH
J Geils Band, HARD DRIVIN MAN
Mr Big, WONDERFUL CREATION
Heavy Metal Kids, WE GOTTA GO
Faces, CINDY
The Raspberries, TONIGHT

Jonesy is wondering about the synchronicity of the universe. The second he put on his Winter brothers CD in the car, he saw an albino woman on her bike. He thought that was strange. He hasn't seen an albino for ages. (Both Winters are albinos.)

The Duke

Giant Drag, THIS ISN'T IT (This is a new song that Jonesy likes. It reminds him of Courtney Love. He heard this on Shovel's show, and now they have a new CD coming out soon.)
Flaming Groovies, HAVE YOU SEEN MY BABY (great song!)
Screaming Trees, WHO LIES IN DARKNESS

He's doing his New age music, something about "flying monkeys." It's so soothing, this music, and then it's someone angry on the other line, he says. Oh, maybe it's his ring tone or something.

Is it lying down or telling lies? "It's a double entendre," Shovel says of the Screaming Trees title.

Jonesy wonders is that a French word? entendre... He can't pronounce it. Jonesy don't need any words!!! Whatever it means.

Jonesy whistled LOVE HURTS for those tickets to Music Festival in Texas.

The Duke

He's playing the guitar and singing his own lyrics to LOVE HURTS. I think he should put out a solo album. I can't believe that they haven't released that JONESY AND... CD. In fact, I don't understand how the station hasn't just flat out hired me... and all of my brilliant ideas...hehehe

Nazareth, LOVE HURTS


GOD SAVE JONESY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LONG LIVE INDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7 SEPTEMBER 2005: BLUES EXPLOSION REBROADCAST

I missed most of the show, but it was another re-broadcast and it was, of course, great. The guests were The Blues Explosion. I don't know when it was originally aired.

I hope Jonesy is recuperating from his birthday bash and will be back soon!

GOD SAVE JONESY!
LONG LIVE INDIE!

6 SEPTEMBER 2005: SLIM JIM PHANTOM REBROADCAST

If you want to read my account of ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY at the Hollywood Bowl, it's on my Toodler blog:

http://toodler.blogspot.com/

I really think someone should take this idea and run with it: to sell Mardi Gras beads as a fundraiser for Katrina and also that there is something we can all wear to show our sympathy.

I missed the very beginning of the show. I came in on a Rod Stewart show. I probably missed his birthday bash report... I will have to catch the rebroadcast.

Faces,
Sham 69, BORSTAL BREAK OUT
Edwardian Connection, SOMEBODY"S GOING TO GET THEIR HEAD KICKED IN TONIGHT
Shakin Stevens,

Someone named McHaggis is on. (Not really!) A drummer who is of Irish descent. They both used to like Shakin' Stevens???

Jonesy picked these songs out special for the guest.

The guest is married and has a daughter, I believe. Jonesy wonders if the guest has ever had a woman try to change him, and then give him the old "fiddlers elbow."

The guest does not share Jonesy's penchant for farting. The guest wonders if special measures are taken, or if Jonesy is naturally flatulent.

Jonesy is smarter than when the drummer first met him.

From drinking Smart water with effervescents, says Jonesy.

It's Slim Jim Phantom from Stray Cats. They are talking about his nickname and how he came up with it.

"That's the great thing about when you are young, you say these stupid things and they stick, and they're brilliant." Jonesy opines. "Then life kicks you down a few times, and you start thinking 'no, that sounds stupid.' But really, it's brilliant."

"Yeah, and you get it tattooed on yourself...Back then everyone was 'Rotten' and Viscious and so forth... And you are responsible for that," he tells Jonesy.

They are applauding all of the Veteren's. Apparently today is Veteren's Day. This must be a re-broadcast.
 
Nope, it's a re-broadcast, and the stats can be found on the first link down, another jonesy's jukebox blog. It's from 11 November 2004. So I will keep listening, but sign off...

GOD SAVE JONESY!

1 SEPTEMBER 2005: DJ EDDIE

I missed a bit, and also couldn't get to the computer until midway through the first set. Jonesy has a couple of friends in for his birthday and one clogged up the toilet... Probably he will flush his guitar down the toilet over the next few days.

Jonesy's phone is all screwed up. He uses Cingular.

William Orbital???? (Jonesy couldn't read it either)
Strife???, SET IT OFF ???(the cingular voice mail instructions was mixed in here, probably courtesy of Mr. Shovel)
Peters Sellers and Sophia Loren, BANGERS AND MASH

Jonesy feels like he's coming down with something. Shovel thinks he's trying to set up for calling in sick tomorrow.

A DJ named Eddie is one of the guests. He's barely legitimate. He's a puff, per Jonesy.

The Duke: HB Toyota, Heinekin

Missed a bit...

Judge Dred, BRING BACK THE SKINS ("A song that shouldn't have been in there but it was a bit of fun")
Delroy Wilson, ONCE UPON A TIME
Jonny Nash, HOLD ME TIGHT
Dawn Penn, NO NO NO

Giving away George Clinton and Parliment tix if you can tell him what he's playing on the axe. (It's Rolling Stones, WILD HORSES)

The Duke: Match dot com

He's singing his "man who can" lyrics to WILD HORSES. "Jonesy's jukebox/ he'll give you one in the gob"

Stones, WILD HORSES

Station ID

Ral Donner, WHAT A SAD WAY TO LOVE SOMEBODY (It's about a bird who is interested in everyone but you, says Jonesy... he's never had that happen to him, he says.)
Johnny Thunders, YOU CAN'T PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND A MEMORY
Minke De Ville, MIXED UP GIRL
Cingular Voice Mail instructions (he still can't get his messages!)
Blondie, HANGING ON THE TELEPHONE
New York Dolls, SONG BAD GIRL
Nashville Teens, TOBACCO ROAD

"Moonbeams, stardusts....kumquats..."
Now he's answering his cell phone. It's Cookie, but we can hardly hear him.

(When Martin Fry was on his cell phone kept going off, and Jonesy told him "go ahead and answer it, it's the new thing, everyone answers their cell phones on the air now." Fry was all, "Oh, brilliant, thanks!" Jonesy cracks me up.)

The Duke: Lenscrafters

Tell him who ripped off who as you listen to The Jam and then The Pistols. Jonesy says Weller ripped off the Pistols.

The Jam, IN THE CITY
Sex Pistols, HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN
Cliff Richard, SUMMER HOLIDAY
Tommy Bruce, LONDON BOYS

Now Jonesy says no one ripped anyone off. He's playing the two songs, and saying that his song was slower. Now he's humming UNDER PRESSURE.

More tickets for George Clinton and Parliment. He's whistling.

The Duke

He's singing "I want to listen to jonesy's jukebox/ five days a week/ he's the man who can... lalala..."

The Troggs, A GIRL LIKE YOU

Don't forget to email him some birthday greetings!!! He won't be in tomorrow!!!!

"When I come back next week, I'll be fifty. Fanks for listening!"

GOD SAVE JONESY!!!!!

31 AUGUST 2005: PAUL COOK

Okay-- it's the re-broadcast... Jonesy is saying that nowhere is safe, and what is happening to all of those poor people in New Orleans could just as easily happen here. "Nowhere is safe from the elements." Shovel says that Honolulu Hawaii and Boise, Idaho are the safest places to be.

"What's Saturday, Mr Shovel?"
"Jonesy's Golden Jubilee?"
Jonesy says golden is 100, his is the "Silver" jubilee. Shovel laments that Jonesy's birthday is on a Saturday and that they can't give him a big party.
"Like last year?" snorts Jonesy derisively...I take that to mean that he got nothing last year.

Now he's singing IN EVERY DREAMHOME A HEARTACHE. You really have to admire a man who can do Roxy Music on the guitar. He really is an awesome guitarist and a true Roxy Music fan (no one has Ferry's vox angelica though).

Stooges, -
New York Dolls, WHO ARE THE MYSTERY GIRLS? (playing tonight at HOB Anahiem)
Only Ones, LOVERS OF TODAY
Roxy Music, IN EVERY DREAM HOME

The Duke: HB Toyota, Savon

Jonesy's Jukebox, "The Captain of Kumquats"

He's going to make a bit of showbiz and have Shovel call him. He's doing his "Minister of" -- what does he say here? Minister of something--- to that "moonbeams, falling stars" music, but there is a small delay before the sound effects come on. Shovel cracks me up, he goes "yeah this is some good showbiz here" while there was dead air...

Pretenders, THE PHONE CALL
SONG
SONG-

Paul Cook and his wife, Jenny?, just walked in, and it's a great surprise!!!!! Lydon is the oldest Sex Pistols. Matlock's the youngest. There was a fight between Jimmy Parsly (sp?) from Sham 69 and Johnny Rotten in London at the Embassy.
"They hit each other with their handbags," quips Jonesy.

He said that the "blokes with machine guns" were fans of the two bands, so I guess they were let off easy. Cookie said it was in the British tabloids.

Jonesy's having a big bash, but he's not telling anyone...someone didn't text message him back. He thinks he's going to be sitting by himself at the bash trying to text message the people he invited.

The Duke

Missed a bit of conversation...

No ding dongs, but they are going to whistle something, he and Cookie, and give away tickets, but I missed to what...
Now they are all whistling together and laughing...(what a great gift for Jonesy!!)

Paul Cook-- Cookie-- is the guest...I think he's here for Jonesy's b-day on Saturday. They were talking about Cookie's dad, Tom Cook, wants to speak to Jonesy on Jonesy's birthday, and Mr Cook has cut back on the drinking. Also, Cookie lives two doors down from where he lived when he and Jonesy met.

Generation X, FROM THE HEART
Ruts, STARING AT THE RUDE BOYS
Ramones, I CAN'T CONTROL MYSELF (Troggs song, "Pretty good cover," per Jonesy.)

"You're listening to the Cookie & Jonesy Show," says Jonesy.

"That's right," Cookie responds in a BBC announcer voice, chortling.

Cookie is enjoying watching football and partying with Jonesy... Cookie has been getting some sun, especially on his hairless chest. Cookie is concerned about they "funny way" that Jonesy is looking at his hairless chest. (Seriously, you could hear years of friendship and admiration in their voices. What a great bday gift for Jonesy!)

The Duke: HB Toyota (they re-did that Ron Lester ad, and Jonesy weighs 216 now and Lester told him he's a sexy beast-- which he TOTALLY is but that last one had two men talking about polishing poles... I am beginning to wonder...???), Fantastic Sams, Malibu Rum, REI

They have known each other for forty years. They went to different schools and used to cross each other in the street. Then they both went to Christopher Wren and Jonesy was in the dunce class...Cookie was in the smart class. He can't believe that Jonesy made it. He can't believe that they both made it forty years. Jonesy is hoping to see alot of Cookie in the next ten days.

They are going to go out with a song they will play together: FRIGGIN IN THE RIGGIN

"Dah dah dah dah"...they forgot the lyrics... they are really hamming it up... I hope no Sex Pistols fans missed this show!!!

Jonesy said it was quite a surprise having Cookie on the show, and he looks forward to seeing him for the next ten days.

Leo Sayer, SHOW MUST GO ON ( a song Jonesy says sounds a lot like FITR)

GOD SAVE JONESY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

30 AUGUST 2005

12 Bells! Jonesy is talking about the hurricane and all the animals and crazy stuff that is going on...Shovel says that the earth won't have a problem fixing itself.

But Jonesy says (and I concur) that what will happen is that it will balance but we will have to be exterminated to move forward, because the planet doesn't know humans are on it.

"Cockroaches will be the new President," declares Jonesy.

Shovel seems the type who reads, Jonesy says. "So what is up with Bush and the mother?"
"You want to get into that?" Shovel asks, surprised.
Yeah, says Jonesy, Bush vs Mom, why didn't he talk to her when she first showed up at the ranch? Wouldn't it be over if he had just met with her?

Shovel says "He's too busy riding his ATV! I only get two weeks off a year-- Bush gets 6 months off."

Jonesy wonders if the President shouldn't get more time off? (I think that must have been sarcasm.)

He's singing "Next stop Vietnam" he's flubbing the lyrics a little-- now he's just making some up...(Did he get a microphone for his guitar? Did I miss that yesterday? He's says it's thin, I think it sounds great!)

New Pornographers, TWIN CINEMA
Great Glass Elevator, RAPID EYE MOVEMENT
Anything Box, CONSTELLATION
Supergrass, PUMP YOUR STEREO UP

 He says he isn't playing any NEW ROSE or CLASH CITY ROCKERS, it's all new stuff today.

The Duke: Malibu Rum

Sugar Lumps, FOOD FOR SOUL

Clip: "Evacuation from a dead planet will begin. First the armies, then the civilians..."

Roxy Music Mash up??? Still can't hear the station!!! CRAP!! It was an awesome song!!!!

 STATIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lost the station!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kinks, GOD'S CHILDREN

Jonesy just answered his cell phone on the air. A woman doing a Chris Spedding biography and wants a phone interview. I wonder if she knows he always answers his cell on the air? Cuz after she hung up he goes "you imbecile! don't every call me on the air again!" (At least he put her on the air too, most of the time you just hear his side of the conversation...)

THE DING DONG!!! "What did I win? What did I win?"
Brian Wilson and the Polyphonic Spree tix.

The Duke: Kia Spectra

A song written by Iggy Pop and Steve Jones, what was the title? Cry for love? Two people won.

"I should know this one, I bloody created it." He's singing his "man who can" lyrics.

DING DONG "What'd I win?!"
More Brian Wilson and the gospel singers tix. What is he whistling on the axe?-- And you have to know who wrote it and performed it.

The Duke: Cha Cha, Sprint, Chevy

Jonesy is so sexy... Nobody won! "Imbeciles, fools, Jacobites!"
He has been defied! "Gods -have these people removed!" He commands.

He ding donged again and Shovel goes "What'd I win?"

Crap-- what was it? I missed it... Another song he wrote with Iggy... He's going to quit because no one knew what the song was! (NO!!!) Even Shovel didn't know it! Oh, now Shovel says he did....do we believe him????... yeah..

Jonesy won't sing it now....He sang man who can -- he forgot Pirate of Picadilly again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GREAT SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOD SAVE JONESY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

29 AUGUST 2005

ESG, SOUTH BRONX STORY
Q Lazarus, GOODBYE HORSES ("The lotion song")

Paul Anka plugging Jonesy and Indie!

Bjork, ??

He's playing and singing GOODBYE HORSES... "good-by lotion, calamine lotion, I've used it all up... goodby lederhosen, (something about) leather and lace... goodby horses..." He's being goofy again.

The Duke


Massive Attack, ANGEL "...feel like I've cheated you out of a bit of lotion. So hopefully this will fufill your needs." A song with that "it puts lotion on it's skin" clip from SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.
Crystal Method, ??

He played a very silly version of I AM I SAID.

Whenever he does his "man who can" lately, he always forgets my favourite "pirate of Picadilly."

Sorry I missed so much!!!!

GOD SAVE JONESY!
