I doubt it. There's no such thing as bad publicity, and in MJ's case, bad publicity is not only the ONLY kind he can get, it's the BEST kind. There was a caller on one of the talking-head shows tonight who claimed to be the mother of a child in the entertainment industry. According to her, the kinds of parents who let their kids hang around with MJ are the "stage parent" types; the ones trying live vicariously through their children by pushing them through the meat-grinder that is the entertainment industry. And these same people think it's SOMETHING SPECIAL to be able to say their kid knows Michael Jackson and hangs out (no jokes, please) with him. How scary is that?!?!?

I have been thoroughly enjoying DrJ’s baby pictures. This evening, at home, I found a picture of my son from when he was just a few months old, and I got to thinking: I can’t really comprehend what life was like before he was born. It feels like he’s always been with us, despite the fact that he’s only 7. As an extension, my wife and I will have been married 10 years in January, and I cannot even BEGIN to comprehend what life was like before she entered my life. Nor do I want to. So I was wondering if DrJ, and other dads at this Bored (new and vets) ever have this feeling?

With any luck, once the mechanic pops the trunk, out will jump..... JAMES T. CAT!!! And everything will work just fine again!

Updated for LAST CHANCE SALE!!!

PRECISELY what I had in mind! The arrow through the "O" is a sweet touch!

Alright!!! Another Texan returns to the fray!

Updated. Only two discs left. I sure am glad I run this stuff by you guys first!

Shakin All Over - The Who (Live at Leeds) Hare Krsna - Husker Du

How about converting The Cape Verdean Blues to The CAT Verdean Blues? Or change Little Johnny C to Little Johnny CAT? Might also be fun to take Horace's Finger Poppin' and have him drive by in the car. Or how about putting James T. Cat's face on the dog on Jimmy Smith's Back at the Chicken Shack? Might also be cool to take the little red balls on Larry Young's Unity and have 'em fall into the U. How about a little typewriter action on Jackie McLean's Right Now? Or how about, on It's Time!, have all of the exclamation points fill themselves in on the cover. Have the title of Joe Henderson's In 'n Out draw itself on the cover? Just some ideas when I should be falling asleep......

Updated for more sales and even more insults! Moose, hurry dammit!!! My ego can't take much more of this abuse!

Updated, and I'm happy to announce that I have made three, count 'em THREE insult-free sales. That is, of course, unless Moose doesn't get down here ON THE DOUBLE and start hurling all sorts of meanness my way!

The album has been retitled PUKIN' TIME.....

I blame myself, because I was also absent from the list! B)

Well man, I for one am sorry to see you go. As I've said in the other thread, doing business with you was always straightforward and not once in our dealings did I ever think of you as anything less than honest. It's a greater loss for this board, IMHO.

updated

POWERAGE!!!! Also, MILES SMILES!

Oops, sorry 'bout that! All prices include postage. Sorry for the confusion! (Dammit, where's that dunce-cap smilie?)

Sister Ray - Velvet Underground Actually, all of White Light, White Heat, but this one in particular. Stray Cat Blues - Stones Again, all of Beggar's Banquet, but this one--especially at the end when that guitar comes screeching in shattering your spinal cord..... oooooh YEAH!!!

LAST CHANCE SALE! $15 (shipping included) takes both of the following: Sweetnighter - Weather Report Between the Buttons (UK) - Rolling Stones (hybrid SACD) Prices are firm. PayPal gladly accepted (other forms of payment from known Bored members accepted as well). E-mail acrearick@hotmail.com will get quicker response.

Seriously guys, whatever you put on the CD I'm gonna love. And I still wanna write the liners. I'm just gonna assume you're still in contract negotiations with Jim Sangrey, and that's why I haven't heard back from you. (Actually, after his little mini-masterpiece in the Miles Davis Nefertiti AOW, I'm surprised Sony and/or Blue Note hasn't started banging down his door!)

Me four!

I have done business with undergroundagent, and have found him to be fair, honest, and prompt in dealing with him. I will do more than tolerate him: I'll heartily recommend doing business with the man.

Oh, and may I humbly volunteer to write the liner notes? That is, if The Great Sangrey hasn't already been asked or volunteered. If so, then I happily acquiesce!

This may be sacrilege, but PLEASE don't do "Laura." Not because I don't think you guys can do it, but just because it's already been done to death. If you'd like a burn of "The Ghetto Walk," I'll be happy to oblige. It's a pretty long song, but I've got software that will let me break it up into separate sections, so you can jump to specific parts of the song.
