Sounds like Paigow's Mom has got it going on...

In the Garden of Eden
 

My newspaper tells me, via associated press, that the 'In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida' guitarist died recently at age 52.

People reference this song from time to time. What the hell does it mean? Until embarrassingly recently (like, five minutes ago) I really thought the words were "in the Garden of Eden." I am not positive that I have ever heard the entire song but rather only snippets (in the same way you might here "we will, we will ROCK YOU" eighty times but never the actual song.

I recall digging through my folks' records as a tyke and listening to bits and pieces of Santana's first record, CSNY's Four Way St and verious Beatlkes discs. None really grabbed my untrained ear.

Then I found a copy of Stciky Fingers with the original Andy Wathol working zipper cover. The first 30 seconds of Brown Sugar were like discovering masturbation or losing your virginity. I recall thinking from that point on "Man, the fucking Beatles are pansies..."

If you don't dig the Stones, you definitely start out at a disadvantage in my book.

Your grandparents are just as open to ridicule as you and your buck-toothed mama. Since no one has any personal knowledge of what they're like or who they are, it's ridiculous for you to defend them so vehemently.

You want to use an inherited strap on? That's nasty.

In the Garden of Eden/Spun
 

The legend is that the song was called In the Graden of Eden, but that Iron Butterly was too fucked up to sing it right when they recorded it.

"Spun" is not a good movie. In fact, its kind of a poor man's Requiem for a Dream. However, the opening scene might have one of the wierdest acoustic covers of all time - Iron Maiden's "666 - The Number of the Beast." I hadn't heard that tune since 5th grade... really took me back.

Try to think of Jagger's voice objectively, without the Rock-God-for-4-Decades earplugs, and tell me honestly if he would make it past the "look at the vocal horrorshows we rejected" outtakes from American Idol.

Just goddamned awful.

In the Garden of Eden
 

Apparently not.

I take it you believe that the substance of "In-da-Gadda-da-Vida" is materially different from MmmmBop (or other songs about nothing)? I'm not quarreling with you, since, as I said, I do not believe I have ever heard the song (IDGDV, that is. I have heard MmmmBop as many times I need to grasp its content). But will someone please tell me what IDGDV means?

On another note, I happened to be reading CosmoGirl at the gym this morning (the one with the no longer as exciting Angelina on the cover) and learned that Hanson is soming out with a new album. According to Brianna, 18, New Jersey, this album receives a rating of three red/orange CDs, which means "Get out and buy it today!"

I chatted last year with the organizers of Waco Pride. They said it was real cute. The police blocked traffic for two minutes so they could cross the street and do a speech thing on the steps of city hall. I think maybe 30 people showed up. On the upside, there were no protestors.

In the Garden of Eden
 

It is as SD said, it was supposed to be In The Garden of Eden, but it became the phonetic spelling of whatever the hell the lead singer was saying in its place. So you were right. Sorta.

In the Garden of Eden
 

The title (and refrain) are explained in two sets of theories:

1. In some of the early Carlos Castaneda short-works, the use of chanted meaningless phrases in combination with heavy peyote ingestion was reputed to bring one closer to one's spiritual core. IAGDV was structured rythmically and structurally similar to one of CC's tradition-based chants.

2. They were so fucked up, they grabbed a nonsensical phrase in rehearsals and just kept it.

Personally, I think it's (2).

And yet I continue to do so. Where's the enjoyment in dogging my relatives, people you admittedly don't know?

In the Garden of Eden
 

So it is NOT materially different from MmmmmBop.

Before, the pleasure was very little -- it wasn't intended to have anything to do with your grandparents, it was merely contrasting the attitude people have about the presumed eating habits of fat people they don't know versus the eating habits of people they know and like.

Now, the pleasure is in watching you get all bent out of shape. But I'll let it go for the moment; even I think it's getting tedious. Someone's going to break out the dead fucking horse's shit shoveler sock in a minute or two.

"There are a lot of orifices in the human body, and there are a lot of accidents that happen," Schotz says. "We've spent years compiling this show. ... Sometimes you'd just come across a picture that would just stop you, and you'd go, 'That's so wrong."'

Mmmbop Lyrics
Hanson
Middle Of Nowhere


You have so many relationships in this life
Only one or two will last
You go through all this pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast
And they're gone so fast
So hold on the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there
When you get old and start losing your hair
Can you tell me who will still care
Can you tell me who will still care

Mmm bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du

Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows
It's a secret no one knows
It's a secret no one knows

In an mmm bop they're gone, in an mmm bop they're not there
In an mmm bop they're gone, in an mmm bop they're not there
Until you lose your hair
But you don't care

Mmm bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du

Can you tell me? You say you can but you don't know
Can you tell me which flower's going to grow?
Can you tell me if it's going to be a daisy or a rose?

Can you tell me which flower's going to grow?
Can you tell me? You say you can but you don't know

Feel free to defend. The fun is in watching you get upset over it, dumbass. And I guarantee, the more of an issue you make it, the more of an FBism it will become. Your dirty, skanky grandma and half-witted grandpa are already FB punch lines, so good luck.

Yes. much more tolerable than a 15 minute guitar solo.

The difference is in the reaction you got from yor mama (or NFH's grandmama) when you blasted the stuff up in your room. Iron Butterfly gave more rectilinear old folks heart attacks than any other band. That's why they'll never be them again; it's just not possible to use music to such effect today.

The truly bizarre are the self-inflicted. A friend of mine was telling me about some of the cases she saw in the ER when she was doing her residency. Toy boats, potatoes, grapefruits. The foreceps apparently come into use a lot in the ER.

I think the removal of these objects is kind of a right of passage during residency. I heard similar stories invovling Crown Royal bottles and 8 ft. of garden hose. I 'd imagine the excuses they hear are entertaining as well.

For the love of Mike, if you are going to participate PAY ATTENTION. Her grandma is fat like the goodyear blimp, and her grandpa is impotent. I believe that grandpa may also be fat but I'm not positive.

Hah! Shows what you know. My room was downstairs, not "up" anywhere. And I got NO reaction from my mama because I did not even have a radio in my room, let alone blast filthy lyrics by a band named the same as a cocktail. So there. Leave me and my mama out of this. Also, I do not know NFH's grandmama, but I doubt they could afford a radio, you heartless piece of poop.

No, no. I'd edit the 3 minutes of Mmmbops, leaving the song at, oh, about 17 seconds.

The 3-minute single version of Innagaddadavida kind of misses the point, no?

Got similar stories from a friend who worked in a proctologist's office. Best was an extremely large zucchini stuck inside a guy who, my friend claimed, was employed by the Del Monte Fruit Company.


The book Choke by Chuck Palahniuk (sp? The guy who wrote Fight Club) has a great riff about sex addicts, including the line that they are the reason why ERs have diamond-tipped drills to break through the bottom of champagne bottles to release the pressure.

Its never been about Mick. Its always been about Keith's riffs and the flawless rhythm section. Anybody can sing for the Stones - the vocals are largely disposable. That said, nobody compliments the dirty groove of Keith like Mick trying to pretend he's a black bluesman from the Delta. Like Muddy waters said after he first heard the Stones cover "I Just Want to Make Love to You," the Stones rock.

Mick would likely disagree.

Otherwise, though, the voice does complement the music. Would I want to hear him singing Neil Diamond covers on AI? No. Have I bought an AI-product album? No. (In contrast to my multiple Stones albums). Celine Dion and Whitney Houston both have great voices. (Even the Hanson boys do) Doesn't make their music tolerable.

You are what you drink
 

Someone sent this to me so I have no link to shorten the post. Funny? Sorta amusing. Accurate? You tell me.

Seven New York City bartenders were asked if they could nail a woman's personality based on what she drinks. Though interviewed separately, they concurred on almost all counts.

The results:

Drink: Beer
Personality: Causal, low-maintenance; down to earth.
Your Approach: Challenge her to a game of pool.

Drink: Blender Drinks
Personality: Flaky, whiny, annoying; a pain in the ass.
Your Approach: Avoid her, unless you want to be her cabana boy.

Drink: Mixed Drinks
Personality: Older, more refined, high maintenance, has very picky taste; knows EXACTLY what she wants.
Your Approach: You won't have to approach her. If she's interested, she'll send YOU a drink.

Drink: Wine (does not include White Zinfandel)
Personality: Conservative and classy; sophisticated yet giggles.
Your Approach: Tell her you love to travel and spend quiet evenings with friends.

Drink: White Zinfandel
Personality: Easy; thinks she is classy and sophisticated, actually, she has NO clue.
Your Approach: Make her feel smarter than she is...this should be an easy target.

Drink: Shots
Personality: Likes to hang with frat-boy pals and looking to get
totally drunk... and naked.
Your Approach: Easiest hit in the joint. You have been blessed. Nothing to do but wait, however, be careful not to make her mad!

Drink: Tequila
No explanations required - everyone just KNOWS what happens there.

THEN, there is the MALE addendum ----
The deal with guys is, as always, very simple and clear cut:

Domestic Beer: He's poor and wants to get laid.

Imported Beer: He likes good beer and wants to get laid.

Wine: He is hoping that the wine will give him a sophisticated image to help him get laid.

Whiskey: He doesn't give a damn about anything but getting laid.

Tequila: He is thinking he has a chance with the toothless waitress.

White Zinfandel: He's gay

PHONE RECORDING VOICE DIES

"Please press 1."


July 28, 2003 -- Jane Barbe, whose voice was familiar to millions of telephone users across the country who ever dialed a wrong number or had to "Please listen to the following options" in a voice-mail system, died July 18 in Roswell, Ga., of complications from cancer. She was 74.

Barbe was the queen of telephone recordings, whose voice was heard an estimated 40 million times a day in the 1980s and early 1990s on everything from automated time and weather messages to hotel wake-up calls.

She was heard on 90 percent of "intercept messages" - the recording played when something is wrong with a phone number - and 60 percent of automated time and temperature calling programs.

During her unusual 40-year career she articulated immortal lines, including, "I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is no longer in service" and "Please press 1 for more options."

Barbe is survived by her husband, John, a daughter, Susan Stubin of Passaic, N.J.; a son, David, of Athens, Ga.; and seven grandchildren.
