rock and roll musings by Tim Byrnes

SORRY SORRY I'M SORRY, REALLY I AM SO FUCKING SORRY....

     Hey everybody in the motime universe! I'm sorry I haven't been around but the new job has got me hoppin'. Lots of hours and, as one might imagine for an aging punk rocker (I'm NOT an old hippie, dammit! I'm a young beatnik!) suddenly finding himself down on the farm w/ a heap o' chores to do I haven't a freaking CLUE what I'm doing. That haveing been said, I'm learning fast and, believe it or not, am having the time of my life. Not sleeping much, but what I get is the sleep of the just.

     Grabbed a few minutes on my lunch hour to check in w/y'all and to assure you that I'm not lying dead under some tractor in the middle of nowhere. Have absolutley nothing to say about music right now as I've been even more out of the loop than usual these last few weeks. Hope to be a little more settled soon, and w/a paycheck or 2 under my (now cowboy) belt, will have own computer soon and can write these things at 3 in the morning again, the way they should be written!

     Anyaw, gotta go walk Buster and get back to work, we're actually mowing the actual lower 40 this afternoon. So, if yr driving through Manzanola Colorado this afternoon and you see a  tall skinny guy dressed like Lou Reed running a tractor w/Mozart blaring on the radio, give us a wave, OK?

peace and noise,

tim

....first time on your blog today, looked at some past posts...

I'm interested in any follow-up comments wrt RockstarINXS, JD etc.

I too thought the idea for the show to be lame, but there was enough there to keep me coming back. Of particular note was the House Band. In retrospect, it was their performances that made the show. In particular the new INXS single 'Pretty Vegas' (JD penned melody and lyric to INXS track) sounded great backed by the House Bank and weak and anemic by INXS.

c'est tout

unlogged: yeah, the house band was the high point for me, too. there were some decent performances but the whole idea of the rigged beauty contest (interesting how the single was out so soon after the contest, no?) befouling the imagined purity of my beloved rock and roll just became tiring. I never thought I'd be one of those old men droning on about how 'rock and roll's been going to hell since (fill in the blank)" but here I am and there you go and I still blame Zeppelin and their freaking airplane.
