LAND OF THE PHAROAH

(10-17-12 #2) UPPER ANN ARBOR...

On October 13, 1940 Free Jazz giant and Coltrane ( both John & Alice ) collaborator  PHAROAH SANDERS was born. The Pharoah's "Tauhid" LP supplied the soundtrack for many of the PSYCHEDLIC STOOGES' acid trips back at Stooge Hall ( a.k.a.  the Fun House ). The bass riff from Sanders' "Upper and Lower Egypt" was the foundation for the STOOGES' "Little Doll". You can find the MC 5's live version of "Upper Egypt" on the "Live At Sturgis Armoury" CD. Wayne Kramer  wrote "At Our Best" when he signed my copy of the CD so that's a big thumbs up from Brother Wayne.

     PHUN FACT # 1 : Like Mr. Sanders, Jim "IGGY" Osterberg was heavily into ancient Egyptian culture. The IG says he got the idea of going shirtless from the male figures in Egyptian wall paintings.

     PHUN FACT # 2: Jim Morrison pronounced the word 'pharaoh' as ' FAY-row '

PIX OF THE LITTER

     (10-17-12 # 1) SOME PEOPLE SAY WE'RE NEGATIVE...In October of 1839 Englishman John Herschel made the first glass negative. It was the first time the terms "negative" and "positive" had been applied to photography. On 9/27/12 The Daily Blooge's own web-site master LITTLE STRANGER used the latest Pixel technology to immortalize the signing of The STOOGES to Elektra Records ( see blooge "ELEKTRA SIGNS IN BLUE" 9/27/12). The further you get from the image the clearer The STOOGES become; but to understand them you must get as close as possible
DO YOU HAVE WHAT IS TAKES TO BE "ONE OF THE GUYS"?!
