Hot damn, only like 8 more Super Robertson Supper show blog posts left and i can shed this Tuesday night gig like a python moving on. Why python? I don't know, first skin shedding organism that came to mind as our hero watched the clock on a couple of levels...
Ok how do we do this.. should we take a tangent first or review last weeks show first... heads show, tails tangent... I just got a Polar bear, I don't know what you got but since I'm running the show, i believe it means tangent. A 2 dollar coin in Canada has a head on one side and a Polar bear on the other side... the Polar Bear would be the tail then... BTW did you hear some loon Senator proposed some idea that Canada lose the Beaver as a national mascot and run with the Polar Bear. All i can say to that is that I need a gig as a Senator, I would be one King Hell Senator, just sitting there incubating my golden egg. Hell why not the Polar Bear? It's a pretty sure bet that the Polar Bear will join the Javan Rhino which is now extinct in mainland Asia. Polar bears are great and Majestic... I like Polar Bears... from a distance. Sorry Bears, we fucked up, but it was necessary because we needed a strong economy, except we kind of fucked that up too, but nobody could have for seen that... unless of course they were an unpatriotic fucking ass hole, and who listens to those people?
Ok so the show was a King hell show... packed to the tits, King Dinosaur, out there dancing up a storm to the song "wagon wheel" by Old Crow Medicine Show, which apparently is a rework of a Dylan song, or an in completed Dylan song.. we did it in out choir and i think i remember something like that. No Super Steve however... a rare absence by the Key SRSS stalwart... i Believe the Canucks even lost, but for the record they stomped the balls of the lowly Flames tonight. Speaking of Hockey and the SRSS i should have to note that two weeks ago when the Toronto maple Leafs had a great 3rd period comeback and SO victory over the Jets the damn bar played the Worlds Series instead... completely unacceptable!
Opening the show was THE BEVELED EDGES:
Great band, nice tight set, great vocals featuring Ginger and Moonshine drummer Mike Swallow on guitar.
Followed by the one and only Ginger and Moonshine... a SRSS 5 star band:
I got to stomp down the classic SR reggae rap from "a touch of pepper" and another song from the 4 track album "the Ocean is Life". Every once in a while the stars align and a man gets to go back to his roots and appear to know what the hell he is doing.
There was a massive turn out, the bands played great, we started on time thanks to the early arrival of our kingpin sound man Johnny Wildkat (AKA JLS the destroyer) and all went well in the universe. Perhaps SR and King Dinosaur had one too many pitchers of beer but i shook that off by the time i delivered the mail on 10th avenue to the comedy of listening to the song "Famous Person". Not everybody in the universe can deliver mail on their own street listening to a song about a mailman delivering mail on their own street.
Should we flip for another diversion?
Polar Bear again... As a Leaf fan, nobody will ever call me a Senator, but what the hey, i have a few points left in me tonight... why? Why not I say. In the end it's all just memories and who knows maybe next year, i will miss the chance to go off to nobody in particular about the world in which i see it... sure it's my own little world, that is non popular... hot damn, i like that term! What kind of music do you play sir? I play non popular music shiteyes! It's just the way it goes, i dry my garlic cloves, remind me to write about my tomato harvest in that other blog...
OK here is the next diversion.. MOVEMBER! I did the Movember movement last year and it was a serious scar to my relationship with pro facial hair... hanging out with my "team" with all those sissies whining about their pain with regard to their moustaches... I'd rather go back to kindergarten, and in the end i only raised 20 bones and that was donated by 2 friends who were also in the movement, and i donated back to them... so OK we put some money in the pot. However seeing that my wife is one of the leading cancer researchers in the world i saw my contribution as rather lame and i did it going against all my principles with regard to proper facial hair, and respect to the moustache. So here is the deal... In November buy the song "Moustache man" by 21 Tandem repeats and i will give all the money i make to cancer research. If it takes off, which given my history of having things take off, i doubt it, I'll go to a Movember meeting and let all those sissies shave my pro moustache off and ridicule me as an non moustache chump... Give me a number of downloads and you know I'll answer the bell... that's the kind of guy i am and you know it. I feel safe on this ground, it's win win, i Keep my pro moustache and carry on, or you guys make the challenge and we raise some money at my expense. I'm good on either road... either way I'll donate the money even if somebody accidentally downloads the song. If i was a celebrity i could and would raise money for a good cause, but so far I'm just another jackass in a bar with a guitar playing songs nobody wants to hear (for the record I don't want to be a celebrity) . On that Note i must say CT has a really good idea on the cancer front... It's not my deal to spill the beans on a blog... because science in the new "money first" world is not about sharing, but rather patent this and then profit from it platform.
Tomorrow we have the Cam and Jesse Supper Show... apparently there will be cake.
