    Two of my faves that I just can't get here in the northeast: Fat Tire - yummy! I always grab this when I'm in Arizona. Karl Strauss - Oatmeal Stout or Dry Hopped, if they have it. Every time I'm in San Diego I have dinner at Old Columbia at least once. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

    this is important information. Hal is far too modest to tell you CC that he is conducting a major reappraisal of the GOGD as underground Disco pioneers! FREAK OUT!

    Gr8ful says it's time to change the subject!! Tell me about your favorite microbrew or a good place to enjoy one or two. I suggest 75th Street Pub in Kansas City or Free State Tavern in Lawrence, home of the mighty Jaybirds. IPA? Try Great divide out of Denver and either the Hercules or the Titan.

    Not a DNA relative,
    I guess could be but is a reincarnation. He is found by means of seers and will pick out objects of the past Dalai Lama out of a group of objects. They may be from some isolated village. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

    Halr, the current Dalai llama is or is not a DNA relative of the previous lama?? as for the studio 54 thang, did you want to hear HISstory or HERstory bout that?? yuk yuk yuk who saw Rashomon? ( -; I should have time in a few days when I get trapped in an airport waiting for a flight and more time to tell HISstory again. alls I'll say now, the truth is always stranger than fiction. love and peace. I JUST remembered my last point I wanted to make after my longwinded HISstory lesson, Tibet, at the very least, wants autonomy. I wanted to use that vocabulary word I learned in Mrs. DiMartini's class all those years ago. (a martini in a glass is better than a Martini in a class-- even I knew that when I was 11) so there!

    Thought I should add this
    Here is the conlusion of The Dalai Lama's bio: A Simple Buddhist monk His Holiness often says, "I am just a simple Buddhist monk - no more, nor less." His Holiness follows the life of Buddhist monk. Living in a small cottage in Dharamsala, he rises at 4 A.M. to meditate, pursues an ongoing schedule of administrative meetings, private audiences and religious teachings and ceremonies. He concludes each day with further prayer before retiring. In explaining his greatest sources of inspiration, he often cites a favorite verse, found in the writings of the renowned eighth century Buddhist saint Shantideva: For as long as space endures And for as long as living beings remain, Until then may I too abide To dispel the misery of the world. For as long as space endures And for as long as living beings remain, Until then may I too abide To dispel the misery of the world.

    The Dalai Lama
    Is a reincarnation of the previous Dalai Lama and so it goes back, the current Dalai Lama is the 14th. I started to write all about him but just pasted the following from the The Dalai Lamas biography from The Government of Tibet in Exile website. Here it is. His Holiness the 14th the Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, is the head of state and spiritual leader of the Tibetan people. He was born Lhamo Dhondrub on 6 July 1935, in a small village called Taktser in northeastern Tibet. Born to a peasant family, His Holiness was recognized at the age of two, in accordance with Tibetan tradition, as the reincarnation of his predecessor the 13th Dalai Lama, and thus an incarnation Avalokitesvara, the Buddha of Compassion. The Dalai Lamas are the manifestations of the Bodhisattva (Buddha) of Compassion, who chose to reincarnate to serve the people. Lhamo Dhondrub was, as Dalai Lama, renamed Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso - Holy Lord, Gentle Glory, Compassionate, Defender of the Faith, Ocean of Wisdom. Tibetans normally refer to His Holiness as Yeshe Norbu, the Wishfulfilling Gem or simply Kundun - The Presence. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

    welcome back thanks for the History lesson CCjoe....yup the machinations of the colonial powers have been responsible for so many of the sorrows of the world and still are to this day (but those folks should really all be more grateful that we brought them democracy and cola and stuff). Poor Tibet. Now on to the serious business did you really see Jerry and Bobby singing Night Fever in Studio 54?

George Bush has a heart attack and dies. He goes to hell where the Devil is waiting for him. 'I don't know what to do here,' says the Devil. 'You're on my list but I have no room for you, but you definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I've got 3 people here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I'll even let YOU decide who leaves. ' George thought that sounded pretty good, so he agreed. The devil opened the first room. In it was Ted Kennedy and a large pool of water. He kept resurfacing over and over and over, gasping for air. Such was his fate in hell. 'No!' George said. 'I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer and don't think I could do that all day long for eternity.' The devil led him to the next room. In it was Tony Blair with a sledgehammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time, and more rocks appeared. 'No! I've got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day!' thought George. The devil opened a third door. In it, George saw Bill Clinton lying on the floor with his arms staked over his head and his legs staked in spread eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best. George Bush looked at this in disbelief for a while and finally said, 'Yeah, I can handle this.' 'The devil smiled and said.... 'Monica, you're free to go!' yuk yuk yuk... ( -: peace.

thanks Mom. I'm still walking so I'm sure that I can dance... but damn it because both hurt and even sitting hurts, I think one hip is shot to hell, and that happens to be on the same side that one of my ankles is fucked up, as well as my shoulder. I am not getting older gracefully, and it really sucks. but I love you, too; all of you. love and peace.

thanks again heathaa and I certainly hope you feel better, too. I generally shy away from meds, but what do you take? I will probably go get an MRI of my hip this week, the x-rays didn't show enough.

They're AWESOME! I wish I were there with you, Mom. Glad we were represented. I'd love to see Phil jam with these folks (Hey, I can dream, can't I?) John is an excellent guitar player as are Rob Eaton and Kevin. Lisa, Dino and The Other One (Rob Koritz) are also excellent. In addition to these folks is Barraco on keys! Great band, I've seen them about a dozen times and can't wait to see them again. I need to hit the lotto or something. Work is really interfering with my job!

Greetings again from somewhere in Romania its pouring with rain outside, the hotel bar is full of pushy hookers so I've retreated to my hotel room...Reckoning on the Ipod and a quick bulletin I've been trekking in Romania's most ancient mountains for the last 2 days, misty autumnal forests of beech, oak, hornbeam and lime on rolling hills (a little like the Adirondacks maybe). We flushed a huge black wild boar from the acorn harvest and watched a vast eagle soaring over the crags. Lungbusting scrambles up leafy slopes to rocky peaks high in the cold wind, with views over the bare forests as the last leaves fall and winter beckons. Heavenly! As for Bran castle, GRTUD, I went there several years ago, as the two fading marks on my neck will testify!

I mentioned how my old bones have been hurting, and my joints, especially one hip is hurting. well, no news is good news, or is it? I had 2 MRIs last week, lumbar and pelvic, and aside from one degenerative disc, they could not find anything. I have been trying to rest more, and sit less, which is when it hurts the most - sitting time. the fucked up thing is that tight jeans and so on seem to exasberate the condition, so I traded in some of my tight leathers for loose black sweat pants. this seems to help a bit, but damn if I don't look like a schmuck on a hog in sweatpants.

Does this mean you will return to being CCjoe? This inverted thing is making me dizzy man.Or are you going be one of these split type personalities as we observe in GRTUD and his other voice or perhaps it is his higher power. I swear sometime his wife is going to have to glue or sew the two parts together. It must be really strange when she walks into the room and they (GRTUD and Golden Road) are having a discussion. It boggles the mind. Are you at that point eojCC or are you beyond it? If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. Wiliam Blake

Hi Hal, My inversion-conversion is a result of physical factors, I'm afraid. All I can say, is I hope your dizzy feeling is a 'good buzz' or you can get into it. I suggest listening to The Other One when you feel dizzy. when unable to do all of the things I want to do, for physical reasons, I feel inverted. this bums me out mentally, but no split personalities or MPD or discussing things with myself and my alter ego (singing in the shower does not count as talking to myself-- even if I sing all of the parts in Jack Straw, I reckon) ( -: unable to sit for long periods of time, unable to stand for long periods of time, it really sucks. walking hurts, going up and down stairs hurts... Luckily laying down has stopped hurting. so I do that pretty well. ( -; my right shoulder is still not 'just exactly perfect' which has fucked up my break in playing pool; putting me behind in the rent money, and, if you notice, the avatar is of my old lady dragging me out of the pool hall rather than shooting with the boys. so when you see my old avatar return, you will probably see my old self get back. I am doing some physical therapy, and with no identifiable cause seen in either x-rays or the MRIs I have to get more checks/tests, the dreaded "You using the whole fist, doc?" I am counting the days until I get into a warm, tropical climate again, and that will happen in a month and a half. the old lady is pushing for a permanent move, and I am getting into the swing of that idea. It is the plane rides I fear; having to sit. I got my whoopee cusion, but after 2 or 3 blasts, people cant take a joke any longer. sheesh. I don't know what it is, but sweat pants seem to help. This is far from a long term solution-- there is only so long I can go on looking like a mook. peace.

my first posting of the previous innocent note attracted a message that it was queued for moderator approval. Wonder what triggered that off? Then when I tried to repost I got this chilling and novel message YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO POST COMMENTS I had to use the special method to get the post accepted, but it seems that commenting on CCJoes fashion choices may be a no no round here...or am I being punished for previous tasteless (but entirely true) comments about excessively entrepreneurial guest relations officers.......or is it the hand of Dr Evil at work??
