It sucks that their equipment was stolen, but they're starting to make me think this is one giant publicity stunt. I haven't gone to a news site or opened a newspaper without reading about it in the last week. Really, if the guy who stole their equipment could pull of an elaborate scheme like that he damn well knows not to even think about selling their shit for a long time and then to do it separately, so they aren't gonna catch him. Their mediocre live shows and the shell of the man that was once Iggy Pop aren't getting them a wider listening audience, so they're hoping people will look them up cause of this.
I can't say I blamed them, Iggy hasn't released anything worth listening to in 30 years and those albums were written by James Williamson and David Bowie. It's even worse that nobody's calling them out on it because they're Rock n roll gods or some bullshit. Ha. the only thing that would be different today if the Stooges never existed would be that all the obscure garage rock bands and the MC5 would be a lot more famous. They fine tuned garage rock, and did a damn fine job of it, but so did a lot of other bands. They just did it better than all of them.
I'm going to stay with my sister and her boyfriend for a week in their one bedroom apartment on the 20th. I'm hoping they'll be really tired at night from working all day, but I'm a realist. I'm seeing a semi weasel reunion on the 23rd so it'll be worth it, though.
I parodied the wanderer by dion. I think it's gonna hit the top 40.
Oh well I'm the type of guy who will never settle down
Where gays judgments are impaired, you know that I'm around
I kiss 'em and I love'em and then I drag them away
I beat em and I choke em, and they scream their mothers name
They call me the dahmerer yeah the dahmerer
I roam around around around...
Oh well there's Felipe on my left and enrique on my right
And Brucey is the guy with that I drove out here tonight
And when he asks me why are we in the forest
I tear open his shirt and sink my teeth into his chest
'Cause I'm the dahmerer, yeah the dahmer
I roam around around around...
Oh well I roam from town to town
My records clean as my seductive stare
'Til the cops start staking out
And the little bitch escaped and now they are aware
