Another SPAC Post

I'm afraid I won't be on the air over Xmas... WLVR 91.3
Still no mode of transportation for this old Hippie, so I can't get there...
Not to mention a permanent residence - so no Xmas tree this year either -sigh-
Chin Up - Better Luck Next Year (I Hope). Only about 3 weeks left in this stinking year - and I was just getting used to writing 2010 on the checks to the electric company...
AAAaaaaarrrrgggggghhhh!!!

Peace
P.S.
Maybe I should buy a camel instead of a car. Hmmmmm...

Return of the Mountain Man

I know it's been a while, but I thought I might start up blogging again...
Last year after Google so thoughtfully decided to block my main blog, =CoffeeHouseStudio= without letting me access and fix whatever the hell problem they said there was so... I kinda lost heart for blogging.

You would think that they would put someone there to contact for help - but I guess they're too busy to help out with a "free blog"...

That was a few year's work they just decided to ditch and it was a real pain in the ass. I thought they were going after this one next - so I just stopped... Since that time, I found a few of the old archives here.

Things have changed quite a bit for me - not everything good - but I'm not gonna whine about it here. At least I still have a job and a roof over my head (for who knows how long).

Digger's gone out to the Southwest wilderness - and Moochie's run away, but I'm still here plugging away every day.

I need to get a hold of my old friends at the station to see if I can actually do a Summer Break Show. That always makes me feel like a bona fide human being again - so what the hell...

Another good one, but the air-conditioner was out last week, and someone closed the doors to the station and fried the compressors, so our air signal was a bit weak... MusikFest is in full swing.

Went by the Depot for a drink and late lunch, but they wanted us to pay $10. for parking and were pretty nasty - so I just blew it off and went in to say hi to my son - who works in the kitchen.

I can't get off from work, but Digger will be there at MusikFest Saturday at the station kiosk. Stop by and say hi. WLVR will be represented. (grin)

I can't say any more - but what a relief.

Private Prisons-Commerce in Souls

SPAC: 7/6/09

“Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”.
– William Shakespere...

Sorry I couldn't make the station last week, since I was running around the Courthouse in a different county.

Hopefully Digger will be free and back on the airwaves with us next week (fingers crossed).

I really have a lot to say about the privatized prison system in this country - many things I didn't know were happening - but that will have to be another post. It gets me too angry, and this show really brought my spirits up, so we kind of want to stay there for a while. (smiles warily)

Taking some Time

I'm sitting here relaxing a bit - finally able to take a breath.

Had a bit of a hassle when I went to the prison last night - and I only got to see the D-Man for about 5 minutes. Frisking is not all it's made out to be... (visits are supposed to be a half hour long - I suppose if you don't happen to be wearing a hat, bandanna and a tie-dye.)

At least he got to see his daughter. Hope he's alright.

Looks like I'll be getting him out of the slammer soon (I hope... if all goes well).

Got him a lawyer Tuesday, and he's awesome. Calmed me down immensely.

Then I got an extended "line of credit" at the bank - signing the papers next Monday (thank gawd it went through). Then it's off to the Courthouse to pay the lawyer and the first set of fines . With Luck, he'll be transferred, the lawyer will show up and ask for a hearing, and I'll pay the second set of fines (the big ones) at the Courthouse in the next county - and he'll be released in time for the Fourth (please). Brings new meaning for me to the Independence Day thing...

Can't wait to give him a big fat hug and then a good bare-assed licking. I still think that cop had a hard-on for my man. If you'd have seen the smile on his face when he slapped the cuffs on... you'd know what I mean.

Damn this is such a racket it seems.
The charges were dropped years ago on the first warrant, but the fine still has to be paid.

Why?

SPONTANEOUS APPLE: 6/21/09

Still getting nowhere with legal matters - Digger's still in the slammer - but the least I can do is keep on going. I know he'd have loved to be with me today in the studio. He called during the show, and of course I ended up playing some Sabbath for him. (LOL)

He's in the medical unit, so I can almost breathe a sigh of relief.

We had a few other requests today - and thanks for listening. It's always awesome to talk with the listeners.

SHM seems to be the shit. Sounds so awesome.

...and so without further adieu, Here's The List:

"SPONTANEOUS APPLE CREATION" - CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN

What Would You Do For A Klondike® Bar?

I certainly wish that this black cloud would blow away. It's been hanging around for much too long. Dropped my hard drive and lost 45,000 music files. That really sucks. The radio show will probably be a little lean this week without them.

Saw D-Man in prison yesterday, joked that orange wasn't really his color - and that he shouldn't drop the soap - and then cried later on (not in front of him). He looked good in spite of the circumstances. I wanted to give him a big hug - but that damn glass is pretty thick. We each held our hands up to the glass at the end of the short visit and stared into each others' eyes.

I miss him so damn bad. Every night I keep looking over at the chair he used to sit in while we watched Family Guy together and bawl my eyes out.

Feeling a bit helpless and frustrated. He doesn't know what the other charge against him could be... I had the money to pay his fine, but they told me that if I paid it he would be transferred to another prison. Need to seek more legal advice. Problem is, I don't have any more money. Rent and auto insurance are due at the same time so I'm kinda strapped right now, financially.

I guess I need to hit the lottery. Thank gawd, at least that I have a job... These times are not the best economically speaking. Many friends are unemployed. I just need to regroup and think this thing out.

I have the names of two lawyers - now would be a good time to call one, I suppose.

The New Spontaneous Apple Creation: 6/15/09

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

This was my first show in the new time slot: 12noon - 3pm on Mondays for the summer.

I dedicated the show to my buddy (and roomate), Digger who happens to be sitting in jail at the moment. He was supposed to be with me on the air today, but got arrested last Thursday while walking into a convenience store to buy a pack of smokes. I was pumping gas at the time, and the cops were bastards. I thought I was back in the fucking 60's again...

Still haven't heard from him, after calling the prison numerous times. I'm going down there in person after writing this post.

Here's the list:

Love or a Genu-ine Facsimile Thereof

• 12:00 am Friday:

Why is it that we can't help ourselves when we fall in Love?
This old Heart always seems to pick the worst scenario.
...or maybe it's just me...

I'm just a hopeless romantic, I suppose.
Doomed to be forever brokenhearted.
Or maybe not...

• 1:00 pm Thursday:

I was pumping gas while D-Man went into the station to get smokes. Next thing I know, they have him cuffed while pulling up his shirt - and tearing his pants open, searching... "Kannst du mikke funge?" - my mouth was wide open in disbelief...

The K-9 'men' told me to go "Get Lost." they said - after running a check on my license. D-Man kissed me in front of them - while handcuffed - wild fucking look in his eyes and said he would call me. They shoved him in the car and wouldn't let me follow, so I ended up going to work.

I'm still waiting to hear from him - a nervous wreck... My heart's been beating miles a minute all day.

I'm just hoping that kiss wasn't a kiss goodbye...

• UPDATE:

1:07 am Saturday:

Got the word on my compadre earlier today. Seems there was a parole violation (in another county from 2005). He didn't show up for a court date in this county, so they're holding him over - Magistrate dropped the charges - but he still has to pay $1,000 or spend 45 days in the slammer, and then go to jail in the other county.

Does that make any sense at all?

I want him back here with me where he belongs...
...Calling a lawyer on Monday. Something seems a bit out of kilter.

SPONTANEOUS APPLE CREATION: 6/9-10/09

Got the news yesterday that the show will be moving to Monday afternoons from Noon to 3pm starting next week. I'm very psyched about that. Should be lots of fun...

Digger (D-Man) told me he won't be doing the show with me anymore - he's got a job in Manhattan. I'll miss him, of course - but hope it all turns out for the best.

Another Day In The Life...

Finally heard from Fucker again. Man it was good to hear his voice. Haven't seen him since last Thanksgiving.

Then, one of the waitresses said that my tires looked funny. I went to check only to find that someone loosened the lug nuts on both of the front tires - coincidence??? Who'd do something like that?

Subsequently, I learned of two deaths... It's not been a great year so far. I'm kinda freakin'...

Drac and Blackula showed up at the club last night(perfect timing). I confronted Drac and asked him when it would be convenient for me to pick up the rest of my belongings from Castle Dracula, and he brushed me off by saying his father just died - call him next week. Can't help but wonder why they'd be out celebrating by singing karioke... Just blows my mind. I suppose everyone deals with their grief in different ways.

I went home to find Ms P (a long-time friend of D-Man) in my bed. (my bed happens to be the living room futon right now) She'd had a few too many white russians last evening, and she's gone to the races today. Hope she has a blast. She's a cool lady and deserves some happiness...

D-Man's up at his landscaping job. I hope he doesn't overdo it again like last weekend - lifting heavy equipment. He really scared me - all's well now though. (thank gawd) Old injuries sometimes never heal completely ...and sometimes new injuries will never heal. We try do our best to accomodate an aesthetic quality for mollifying the spirit - but sometimes the body resists.

SPONTANEOUS APPLE CREATION: 6/2-3/09
