  1. a 75 million dollar flop. How much does twi have in the bank? Last count about 37 million? I'd call it a 37 million dollar flop.. now all they have is the few assurances of uncertain riches. i.e. not worth a *darn*. Like waiting for social security or something.. Hollywood's wasted more money on a flop than they will EVER be worth..
  2. The only thing here has been some rather sketchy details in the prayer forum.

    Lost Time

    Los time.. I dunno. Every decade I've been something different.. The way (incorporated and copyrighted) did not steal that from me.. well.. I just wish they would graciously assume the bill. Christ.aren't------------------------------------------ they good for something?

    She looks too much like Belle..

    More than nixed the idea. She married the drum player, did she not? April's s work still haunts me, in a good way.. she had to be good people, so to speak, didn't she?

    She has been gone since 2006.. this is one soul I mourn the loss..

    Yeah.. so did April. April broke out of music and did art.. Ha! It's been a long strange trip.. She (?) graduated in what.. 1961.. probably ingested better drugs than I've ever seen.. The Sowers need to adopt her anthem here.. so lord, come into my heart, and make a better sower out of me.. I try to be a better sower every day..

    Song of the moment

    The common factor here is Hendrix. Randy California would have followed him, wherever, if he was of age at the time.. April learned from Hendrix as well.. Hendrix is hard to listen to.. until you find songs like "Mary".. or even Hey Joe.. This one is as well "comfortable" on the down side of a long, strange, trip.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rezb626N_iE

    besides all of the technical wizardry. This was one of the few songs April sang lead vocal.. Nature's Way. Then there was the rest of the album..

    This is the kind of a song.. that is very comfortable listening to, after a long, strange, trip. :) I've only had another one like that.. another song, that is.. allright.. I'll take the hint.. heh..

    Song of the moment

    I bought album number one on the site. The first album. The second one Mitch Mitchell had already left the group.. April seemed to collaberate a lot with Tommy Sullivan. Then there was the producer.. Tom Dowd. he was a nuclear scientist.. he already knew more nuclear chemistry and physics than almost anyone else.. but the universities wanted him to go back to school.. I think his technical expertise was better served with the music he produced.. Thanks Waysider, you're a genius.. :)

    Song of the moment

    I can't post the song directly from this site: http://www.aprillawton.com/RamatamAudio.html On the second album, about half-way through the play list "Bounty on my table".. I think the site is safe. At least Norton tells me so.. :)
  13. The loved ones and close ones have never approached me.. they've already done as much as they can do. At least as with regards to me.
  14. Loved ones, as in family and very close friends, no. Others, yes. I've had a couple approach me with requests for closure of sorts, on their way out of this existence.. but it was in a dream.
  15. Hey! If the sewers can have a festival, of sorts, anyway.. why can't the Greasespotters? you know. A GS.. what do you call it.. I mean.. before the economy entirely tanks, and travel will be expensive, and generally prohibited.. or impossible. ah.. another wienie roast? Before we would have to proceed on a long path by foot? Just a thought. I would like a roast.. somewhere. three days of unbridled sex, drugs, and rock and roll.. oops.. already happened. sowy, I missed it..
  16. Maybe.. with the "president" having the right name and right (wrong) pedigree, this gives the group performance rights, not publishing rights. I dunno. Maybe performance rights can be inherited, or conferred.. then again, maybe they are giving rosie a cut of the proceeds.. who knows.
  17. Yep.. I have meters, oscilloscopes.. eight and fifty ohm dummy loads.. The instruments work better on old Fender amps and such than human beings..
  18. :) This is no "ordinary" wack job. It is a wack job that needs non-twi support, adoration and worship. "Doctor" Dale? Weird.. Yeah.. really weird.. I wonder what the required "donation" there is for these numbnuts classes.. the local university charges about .. well. It is a 2 year college.. they charge about 740.00 bucks for students to hear my rantings about mathematics.. The Big colleges would charge close to double, or triple that.. and still in my spare time.. I'll go over the same material, for free.. Weird.. I dunno.. what am I saying..
  19. Yeah. Me too.. Don't get me wrong Raf.. I know it was all the touch of a narcissistic, plagiarist's hand.. but etherically.. or whatever else one calls it.. it all goes somewhere.. I just hope it doesn't end up in a deep, fiery pit for following a false prophet of sorts..
  20. I don't know if I want to throw it all away.. when I leave this life anyway. I've hurt/helped/been hurt by/been helped by too many other individuals here.. it all has to mean something, doesn't it? well.. sorry. I know that is not exactly what you were asking..
  21. Seed.. well, seed is cool. at least from what I learned from a wonderful person.. nuts otherwise, as us all.. you put da seed in the earth, and it grows.. furnishes some kind of produce. ANYTHING that grows thus from the earth is supposed to be kosher..
  22. Why do I come here.. it is (for the moment) a well-lighted place.. :) fairly clean.. not too many cockroaches.. it's supposed to be a cafe, isn't it? The problem with the old guy in the Hemingway story is he gets too drunk to pay the bill.. I'll be kind and try to pay (donate) before consuming too much brandy.. I've given Mr. Irish eyes a few bucks, when I can..
  23. Maybe it is gray on the surface, but on the underbelly in my opinion it is yellow. As in cowardly.. lazy. From the founding prez on, they seem to point the way for the ordinary follower to take on huge risks, like hitch-hiiking half way across the country, going to a new city with only $200 in their pockets to get housing, find a part time job, and start a new *work*. All the time the underbelly stays well secure behind vast corn fields and meticulously cut grass.. Guarded by a thug holding a loaded beretta, to avert vengeance from angry husbands Yellow.. and lazy besides. loy's idea of exercise was probably limited to participating in three-ways or something..
  24. A three beer Christian? Cool... Well..I hit about 4 and a half so far.. there was an old song about beer drinking Christians.. Can"t remember.. OH. today I found an old Sunn bass amp.. needs only a nice pair of 6CA7's. the original B+ filters are still in perfect condition.. If I can't sell it, I will have to learn how to play the bass..
