Red Mud Gonzo: Twenty

 


"Butter Cups" by TTop.

Add the pad right to the shorts or pants.  Seat cushions and butt enhancers.  Call them Butter Cups.  I don't know about you, but these seats are hard, tough to sit through a whole match, and people don't want to carry a bulky seat cusion.


"Potato Buns" by jpg


The hat flew off in a burst of wind, Brad Gilbert had a panicked look.  His fedora was rolling towards me, and I bent down and grabbed it.  He was very grateful, but humorless in his response to TTop's Ebay joke.  This seemed a different BG than we had known, preoccupied and distant, you never really know what's going on with anybody, grace is the only way.  Glad he didn't have to run after it, glad he wasn't put in an embarrassing position, he maintained his dignity, he is among the River Oaks' esteemed.


The chicken must have been pounded out with a mallet, it was paper thin.  Marketed as spicy, a pile of jarred jalapeños were stacked on the sandwich.  Any use of potato buns is a shortsighted, cost saving giveup.  The fries were awful, the windows were dirty, no salt and pepper, the staff was closing up, just going through the motions.  FM Kitchen and Bar is rated 2 of 5 stars, the peoplesDuke would've been disappointed.  This was no Pizza Motus.


McEnroe bending  the space and time continuum, so early, so precise.  ABCD deconstruction of the hitting zones, with C dominating modern tennis strategies, test if they can get around it for a fully extended forehand.  Move the shorts, not the shirt.  Hit it way over the net, take the short ones to the A zone.  Tangible takeaways from AJ's Thursday morning electric court drill session, El Rey hit--4.5 of 5 stars.



"Smoked" by King The Todd


Smoked by a complete unknown.



"Zappa Playing Blues" by Amos


Found some gold in my research.   First 25 songs (disc 1) is from '69 tour with the mothers....playing cool R&B with Zappa playing blues guitar leads...is best stuff I've listened to.

Sources Say 5: The Fool's Century

  On the inside it's uglier than most can imagine.  Scandal, cover ups, hook ups, and pick-me-ups.  No telling what kinda narcotics float around, pill to pill, shot to shot, dose to dose, a pharmaceutical disaster.  Like Elvis without any music or Chuck Berry without any moves or Bruce Lee without any kicks or Speedy Gonzales without any speed.  Just dizzy, slurring pigment obsessed drunks, sources say. What does CBS stand for anyway?  Doesn't matter now, they've become irrelevant, a bleak reminder of last century.  The fool's century.  Duped and looped.  Now we know. We started in around the late 40's, picking fights, manipulation, sinister and crude.  Stealthy.  Spies with eyes in the skies.  Peace was never kept, it was invaded.  America was a TV show on CBS.

Sources Say 2: They Miss The Ink

  Related to manipulation abuse, but with a capitalistic twist.  They are paid by the manipulators and the victims of manipulation.  It's a winning business model until the walls come crumbling down on the street, until the curtains pull back.  You thought Oz was bad, at least they got you back to Kansas.  These journal jerks got nothing. Even a few of my sources have moved on, the wreck has left the place dim and disgruntled.  Evidently, what's-her-name stormed out of a staff meeting in tears, mumbling something about pills and booze and karaoke night.  Guess it didn't go well.  Everyone laughed at her when she left the room, seems a real toxic work environment.  They miss the ink. But that won't stop them from cheering on China, and for good reasons.  Ask the finance department.  Money's money, honey, and they got the name, the bull statue, the cufflinks.  They got smear jobs, insinuations, and an editorial board.  Somew...
