Dear Abby,

How am I supposed to qualify for disability benefits if I am physically & mentally too unstable to 1) efficiently work *anywhere* OR to 2) even apply in person for said benefits? Is there some panic button somewhere I should push? Thanx in advans!

how can someone who feels so bad, who harbors so much anger and resentment, who clearly has zero future - how can he maintain normalcy, day in day out? some wise sage once said "what's the point?" and indeed there is not one, ever. life is a big stall tactic, delaying the ultimate goal: death. anticipating great things to happen very soon. NOT. worked deep and hard and fully to reach the destination: an empty field, with dead trees, rotting grass and rock hard dirt. there is a fence around it, but everyone and anyone has trampled it for trespassing purposes. i am sitting exactly in the middle of this field; at least i am not ordered to stand up straight. in fact, methinks i shall lay me down. stretch my aching back, stare up at the cloud formations. and ride away from here once and for all.

THE F WORD

THE FUGEES VS THE FUGS??

FUCK THE FUGEES! HA!

THE FUGS WERE 100,000 TIMES MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE FUGEES. AH YES, FRANK, BUT THE FUGEES EARNED 100,000 MORE ROYALTY DOLLARS PER CAPITA THAN EVEN TULI KUPFERBERG! AND LAWWREN HILL'S HIT ALBUM, "THE EMANCIPATION OF MIMI", GARNERED 100,000 MORE AWARDS THAN EVEN THE ENTIRE E.S.P. CATALOG!

I'D RATHER LISTEN TO EVEN FUN BOY THREE THAN WYCLEFT JEANS! FUCK ME! (AS IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!)

WHAT YEAR IS THIS? FORTY-TWO? FRANZ FERDINAND, PLZ PUT A FEISTY FLAMETHROWER IN MY FACE AND ELIMINATE ME FROM THIS PAINED EXISTENCE ONCE AND FOR ALL.

WHY DO YOU THINK THEY CALL IT FMU? NRBQ?

AND THAT'S TODAYS' FUGTO FLASHBACK. FUGGEDABOUDIT!

To all my good friends...

Fifty Years Ago right now. Rock and roll youth culture is exactly half a century old. This is the first 50th anniversary of many to come for us kids.

Saturday January 28, 1956, 8pm CBS
Elvis Presley makes his national TV debut on the Dorsey Bros' "Stage Show" at Studio 50, 1697 Broadway, NYC.

The day before, his first RCA record was released, "Heartbreak Hotel", but for this milestone television event, he strangely chose to perform only Joe Turner's "Shake Rattle and Roll"/"Flip Flop and Fly" (medley) and Ray Charles' "I Got A Woman."

We watched the medley last night (appears on The Great Performances Vol 2) - we've all seen it before many times - but last night it made me weep. There can be nothing as important anywhere in modern popular music as this single apochryphal beginning.

Can you imagine how much this means to me?? Extend thy grasp, music lovers. Back to the Future!

This is *THE* Elvis year, 1956. I have VHS of much, if not most, of his many historic TV appearances (incl. the six Dorseys, two Milton Berle, Steve Allen and three Ed Sullivan). Craving to compile them onto a DVDR asap.

Go buy the 1985 A Golden Celebration 4CD boxset, which includes the complete '56 TV songs. It's can still find its way into your hi-fi system, if yer interested. He's not just "Oldies", mama.

BTW, days of the week in 1956 correspond with 2006. We all should have viewed it together last Saturday night via imagined satellite feeds.

I can't believe the entertainment world isn't participating in more wild celebration about this startling cultural landmark. MTV is truly delivered from the womb.

Bigger than The Beatles. The unquestionably absolute starting point, the concept of which still reverberates today.

I was there. It is shocking that this much time has passed by. To our children's children's children.

now that all the TONIC hoopla is over (what a full month it was!!), certainly hope i don't plunge into yet another new depression. again, the gig was delightful, but my musical career really didn't progress a single inch, did it?? how i needed for a trouserpresser or rstone senioreditor (bah!) to help take it up a notch, procure a brand new story or interview or... even a handshake. increased exposure is just not in my plan, is it? more weekly income? forget it! it ain't gonna happen.

i also have such continued mixed feelings about my performance jinx. the spontaney cornball humor is brilliant on one hand, and absolutely suicidal on the other. dumb goofy unrehearsed timewasting brainfarts... which negate any entertainment value to my sincere compositional genius. just can't help it, it's what i do. i constantly end up shooting myself in the foot, but don't want to anymore. my stage act needs some serious disciplined grooming.

nah. sorry, i'm making no sense whatsoever here.
