The day I met Saul Hudson

Don’ know if I ever told ya’s the story:
Right before The Spaghetti Incident CD came out, at the premier of Batman at Webster Place, I’m in line outside before the doors open with some waitress I picked up inna disco.  Menominee Indian.
Up ahead of me is Slash inna Batman ballcap, jeans and leather jacket, and the world’s biggest African American body guard inna red tracksuit.  I start to approach and the bodyguard dude implores me not to, shakes his head, whispers and asks me not to make a scene.
So I don’t, and me and the girl stare some and then go in and wartch the movie.
She musta been having a good time, never went home, and that night we go to Smart Bar and the VIP section at one end of the bar is roped off and Slash is drinking by hisself. The bouncer is on the rope so I tell the girl I’m gonna go talk to him and she’s kinda afraid but I do.
I walk up to the bouncer – “Remember me?” he stares, goes, “Oh, yeah”, and lets me in the VIP.
I walk up next to Slash and sit down next to him. He’s so fucked up he can hardly talk as I explain why I was there. He’s also a little hostile. I get a drink – can’t remember who paid but I think I did and Slash kinda wakes up as I’m about to leave and goes, “What didja think of Batman?”
I look at him and go, “It kinda sucked” and as I walk away, the bouncer – he’s laughing.
Chick was impressed, hung out with me all summer until she moved away to FLA for school – can’t remember her name …

US$25 PCM demo

US$25 piezos from Monoprice recorded my Seagull.

Then I OD’d the Aerodyne thru the PF50t, and sanged through a 50 y.o. Shure mic.

Re a BariWeiss substack post someone sent me:

“I knew he’d say something so sharp and singular that I could laugh about with my other comic friends for days.”  my other comic friends – Bari was a comic?  Oh, wait – Jeff Ross.

Too bad, she’s got better breastes.
(Tip yer bartender.)

Seth Myers last night told a story about a conversation he overheard:
Q: “So yer a father now, how’s that going?”
NM: “Going well, no abductions yet.”

I always liked him, never really saw him as great as I now believe he was.
I always just took for granted he was funny.
Like Phil Hartman.

PS: is the rest of our lives gonna be mourning our contemporaries?

Also, over or under – Clint or Willie? (Did that make sense?  I don’t gamble, unless I go to a singles bar.  And I’m a-feared they’ll both soon be under. ;-(  )

“Do you gig?”

At talkbass, I answered thus:

New

I’ve not gigged in ages because married, moved, kids, etc.

I’ve never stopped playing, I write and record – there’s over 1K songs linked below.

I have a job that includes public “performance” that for the last year and a half has been limited in its smaller form to Zoom and in its larger form to not at all for a year and half.

In some ways I’m dying.

I didn’t even jam except by file share for over a year, and even in the last 4 months jams are hard to come by, much less gigs which really don’t exist here – I’ve seen one local band since 2019, as of last month.

I’m not sure, tho’, what I miss more, gigs or, eh, one-night other things.

Scroo covid and all those who put us here now!
