STOOGE de JOUR


      10-26-12  THE HUNGER DAME...A "Bon Anniversaire" (10/22) to CATHERINE DENEUVE, who is the subject of this curious quote by IGGY.
          Sayeth IG: " Bowie's a real man. And I'm a real woman, like Catherine Deneuve."
      Not positive why POP picked Cathy as his female role model. Perhaps the fact that Bowie and Deneuve both co-stared together in "The Hunger" might have had something to do with it ( they both played vampires ). 

    PHUN FACT:  When asked by Hit Parader magazine what His musical influences were, JIMI HENDREX replied: "Eddie Cochran, the blues, atonal music, and "Cathy's Clown" by the Everly Brothers."

SYMPATHY FOR THE STOOGE



     10-25-12 #2  IN ANOTHER LAND...I gotta confess, fellow bloogsters...I'm as hung over as ten muthas barfin' in the shadows. So I'll let you gaze in rapture at the tragic triangle pictured here and let you come up with your own sick scenarios. I just keep wondering...is that air conditioner behind them on?

MR. BASS MAN



 10-25-12   ALL DOWN THE BASS LINE...Happy B-Day ( 10/24/'36 ) to past and perhaps future ROLLING STONES' bassist BILL WYMAN ( he's scheduled to do guest spots on the upcoming Stones'50th anniversary tour ).  That bass run that Bill plays on the fade of "19th Nervous Breakdown" was the second classic "bass moment" I noticed as a lad; the first was Chas Chandlers' bass intro to "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" by the ANIMALS. I figured if I was gonna pick a pix of Wyman it would be a B&W photo like the cover of an old Stones' LP. But I couldn't resist this shot of Bill as cover birthday boy for the Oct. 24th ( '64? ) issue of "POP" magazine. HEY! I'm free..to do want I want...any old time!
