The Go-Go's on Kimmel.
« on: July 28, 2016, 0529 UTC »
Huh, Jane Wiedlin is still wearing the earrings I gave her when I stole her away from Jerry Dammers in '81. Rockin' the high-heeled sneakers, too. She's still looking good, those Lebanese girls don't age.

Belinda has lost her voice and has Grandma hands, ewwww. Why didn't they just keep the camera on Jane?

Bite your tongue! Belinda hasn't aged a day since I saw her at the Greek, I think it was around 81 or 82.

I saw her on the '82 tour. She was the spitting image of Miss Piggy in those days. How could you not compliment her on the weight loss, you cruel beast?

Jerry Dammers, eh? Pretty sure you mean Terry Hall. Or was there even more soap opera stuff to those groups? Oh Jane....

Who knows, those girls forgot all about those silly skinheads when I came into the picture. I told those guys, "Don't make me whup you like great-Grandpa did Cornwallis." They beat it for the next barge to Britain, with my pit bull chasing 'em down the dock. Another victory for the United States of America.

Reagan tried to give me a medal but I told him I don't take gifts from guys with funny hair. That's why I ran those English twig boys off in the first place.

It's time to get on the plane to Philly. Hilly is waiting for me in her latex pants suit. The things I do for this country.

She was looking pretty good for a woman her age, wasn't she?

But I'd especially like her backing me up in a bar fight!

I liked the powder blue hair, with matching jumpsuit and the off-white platform sneakers. Not a lot of women could pull that off regardless of age. Take that Susannah Hoffs, you shameless hussy!

I was discussing Belinda's voice with Alfonzo, or should I say myself, as he hasn't had the courtesy to respond to my PM, the rude boy. I've heard her sing recently and she sounded good, but on the Kimmel show she was off. I wonder if it wasn't the smoke from fires around L.A.?

After Kate Pierson of the B-52's, Belinda has one of my favorite voices of that era. Kate was in a league of her own. She was what Grace Slick could have been if she hadn't ruined her voice with hard liquor. It still stuns me that such a big voice could come out of a little woman like Kate Pierson.

If you can find any video from the era, look for X-Ray Spex from UK circa 1977. Their singer, the lovely Poly Styrene was about 4'10" and could blast. The last I heard of her she was quite ill. I hope she's still with us.

Now, what am I and I gonna do wit dat rude boy, Al Fansome? Time ta call Judge Roughneck.

Unfortunately Poly Styrene passed away a couple of years ago. I was just thinking of that because someone was passing this photo around the internet this morning.

Ugh, so vile. Some mental images shouldn't exist. A stroke could be beneficial if it only made one forget everything awful.



Also, the female voice of the 80s;

I hate to hear that. I knew she was sick.

I was picking up my daughter from grade school and I was listening to a show I'd just put together as I waited. "Oh Bondage, Up Yours" came blasting out as I was sitting there. I'm surprised the PTA didn't run me out of town on a rail for that social faux pas. Almost as bad as when I wheeled on to her HS parking lot with the top down with Perry Farrell screaming out the chorus of Jane's Addiction "Whores". I might as well have had an "X" carved into my forehead for that Kodak moment.

Voice of the 80's? Surely you mean the "Adenoids of The 80's". Madonna is up there with Tom Petty when it comes to singing through your nose. The FANCO drones are hovering over your domicile, Josh. I'll have to check to see if our boys at HAARP have the thing set on twist or twitch. If you hear Hank Ballard doing the original in your head, it's twist. If you hear the Cramps, it's twitch.

We generally give people a couple of minutes to push the furniture back and roll up the rug before we crank it up full blast. Think of Lux Interior in his low rise red spandex pants and his six inch red metal flake pumps while you're at it. He was the beau ideal of psychobilly.
Marilyn Manson stole their entire act from the Cramps and weren't half as talented. The price of being first.

One of the best things about Youtube is you can see all the Cramps and Ramones videos MTV wouldn't touch with a 20 foot pole. Not to mention the DK's when Jello was in his ingenue' stage.

The scary thing is Jello and Mojo Nixon have been collaborators for 25 years. I used to feature their "Prairie Home Invasion" album when I had the station running, not to mention Mojo's excellent cover of the DK's "Winnebago Warrior" from his "Bootleg" CD. Now Mojo is a talent. He's Red Sovine on speed and acid with a major personality disorder thrown in. If you can't sell an act like that, you're not trying.

Off to listen to Junior Brown. I've got to blast the Smiths and Baaad-onna from my frontal lobe. 10 minutes of Junior will do the trick.

Sounds pretty feminine to me. Maybe you just don't like altos.  ;D
