Who's that curly bastard playing that lovely pianer on stage Saturday night?
eh?
eh?--
Anyway, a related word about the big Rock & Roll show in Amsterdam, which I'm supposed to be going to. . .
It's off, it's on, it's possible, it's improbable, it's downsized, it's off . . it's back on.
What's man to do?
Too much fright to book a flight?
I'm here all ready to rock. . but at least I'll be seeing the main man in London, who was seventy three yesterday. Here's a snap from my snapbook from the Southbank Lonon '04. The man is a legend and I haven't seen him for a couple of years.
Jerry Lee Lewis.
No shit Sherlock, he's the real thing. You ever want a pretension enema, get yourself to a Jerry Lee Lewis show. It's short, it's vital, it's so none show-biz it's almost punk. It's all attitude and spunk and 'which body part would I sell to have seen him in his heyday'.

Credit crunch, that came first. . now there's this news about this economy meltdown. Have I done anything to re-locate my savings? Yes! I bloody have! I've posted off a £935 cheque for my July tax bill, today. . fuck 'em. If my savings are going to disappear, at least I'll not be drowning owing. . .
Worried about my mortgage or rent? Naah, I have neither, on account of living like a bachelor and working like a bastard. So they won't get me . . . (I hope!)

I bought the American Gangster DVD to watch tonight, but I've heard the Amsterdam show is back on so I'm watching some old Alan Freed fifties rocksploitation movie, sucking a jug and wondering if life could ever be better!
Come the weekend, I'll be cosmic in Avalon!

Little Richard is coming to Vienna in November, Jerry Lee Lewis beginning of December, just to let you know ;)
Michael
I recon Richard won't make the December show. .
Chuck Berry played the Gasometer earlier this year too.
Vienna is obviously a hotbed of rock & roll - never mind that Strauss guy!
