Muzac For Munsters

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Lyrically, one of the best punk songs ever written. :)

Gary Gilmore's Eyes

I'm lying in a hospital,
I'm pinned against the bed.
A stethoscope upon my heart,
A hand against my head.
They're peeling off the bandages.
I'm wincing in the light.
The nurse is looking anxious,
And she's quivering in fright...
I'm looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes.
The doctors are avoiding me.
My vision is confused.
I listen to my earphones,
And I catch the evening news.
A murderer's been killed,
And he donates his sight to science.
I'm locked into a private ward.
I realize that I must be...
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes.
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes.
I smash the light in anger.
Push my bed against the door.
I close my lids across my eyes,
And wish to see no more.
The eye receives the messages,
And sends them to the brain.
No guarantee the stimuli must be perceived the same...
When looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes.
Gary don't need his eyes to see.
Gary and his eyes have parted company.

Maybe DBM was there? Megs?

The Vancouver Pop Festival 1969 was a rain-drenched festival held across three days at the Paradise Valley Resort in Squamish, British Columbia, a 90 minute drive north of Vancouver. Held August 22-24th, a week after Woodstock, this was one of those gatherings which began to hammer the nails into the coffin of the counterculture dream.

It was a decent-looking line-up of bands and though it has been claimed that the Grateful Dead didn't perform but Jerry Garcia biographer Blair Jackson disputes this, and speculates the Dead took the gig to move on from their perceived poor performance at the Woodstock festival a week earlier.

MC for the event Terry Mulligan remembers seeing someone banging their head hard against a stage supporting post in time to Little Richard's music, presumably freaked out on some narcs. It doesn't help the mood when someone is furiously hurting themselves.

Richard then proceeded to anger up the bikers who were supposed to be the security team, causing a near riot. Loads of other bikers gangs showed up for a showdown between each other. Bad vibes all round.

One attendee said "It was like every outlaw motorcycle gang in the Pacific Northwest came to this thing….The bizarre part was when Little Richard came on. All these bikers right up front. …Little Richard was mincing it up big time, and questioning their sexuality while flaunting his. It rained a lot and it was cold."

The promoter expected to sell 30,000 tickets for each day but only sold 15,000 for al three days, so it was far from overcrowded, which some people loved, but generally the vibe was down. But as is the way with a lot of festivals, some reported the weather good and the gig hassle free, others that it was pissing it down and fights broke out all over the place.

Someone went into town and bought a load of umbrellas and cleaned up selling them. Other reports have a guy rolling and selling joints in tent and doing brisk business. There was almost no police presence

The toilets backed up, people were ripped off, fights broke out and the bands wanted their money, but the promoter Bert Gartner didn't have any money, or not enough, largely because he'd only sold those 15,000 tickets and most of those people had gone by the third day, sick of the bad weather, fighting and sodden conditions.

The promoter managed to leave by helicopter, narrowly avoiding being lynched by the stage crew and sound engineers, none of whom got paid. Sounds like a last chopper out of 'nam, deal.

With a good sound system, the music played was reported to be very good, with the Chambers Brothers and Flying Burrito Brothers excelling. Also interesting to see Love playing their first gigs in Canada. The Guess Who were on fine rocking form and you can even see a clip of Joni playing if you search for it on YouTube. The local paper singled out Alice Cooper for praise and suggested "they were really going places." Yeah, the groovy dude was right.

This whole event lost so much money and was such a sour, horrible experience for many, that it deterred anyone else from putting a similar event in the region for years.

May 3, 1986 Addicted to Love hit # 1 on the US Charts.

Ex Power Station (with John and Andy Taylor of Duran Duran fame) front man Robert Palmer and his 5 girls in black rep the song nicely in the video.

I'm quite partial to the glam, red lipstick, as prominently displayed here, on a lady as an aside.

Not nearly as hot as a nice clavicle of course.

Originally the song was to be a duo with Chaka Khan (Chaka Khan) but then legal shit got in the way and she was dropped.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Completely understand Topper.
