Come with me, dance, my dear

Winter's so cold this year

You are so warm

My wintertime love to be

Jim Morrison, 1967/68. Nancy Rexroth. Gelatin silver print.

Like some new language, reaching your head with the cold, sudden fury of a divine messenger / Let me tell you about heartache and the loss of god / Wandering in the hopeless night / Out here in the perimeter there are no stars / Out here we is stoned immaculate”. - ‘Stoned Immaculate’, Jim Morrison.

Now that I’ve actually got my music streaming correct (been off the scene for about a decade..((tragic, i know)) too much dancing and not enough singing), I’m happy to celebrate my ever-lasting love for music 🎧

So here we go, I’m sharing 4 songs every weekend to bring the people happiness and inner warmth for the soul, starting with songs I would say I have the deepest connection with; this week it’s all about the rock and roll just to show you guys what I’m about.

Firstly I want to show you Iggy, the man famous for being a sex-crazed, drug-maniac who was always writhing around on stage, cutting himself with glass and who was in and out of rehabs* for his hardcore lifestyle.

*David Bowie famously used to bring him his heroin whilst he was meant to be getting clean.

IGGY POP-LUST FOR LIFE

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Secondly I am proud to show you the only artist of this week’s list that I have actually seen live (he still checks in on my mum on socials to see how she is ^^’). Also a heroin addict for many years but from what I know I would class him as a reasonably responsible drug user “I’d always try to be as clean as possible when I was playing music”. Another reason why I am proud to show you this song is that it features in ‘Paul’ (starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Seth Rogan*). What I’m trying to say is I heard the song before the movie and regardless here it is. I give you…Peter Perret and The Only Ones

*Sigourney Weaver also stars. (sci-fi royalty..Alien <3)

(search: The Only Ones -Another Girl Another Planet)

THE ONLY ONES -ANOTHER GIRL ANOTHER PLANET

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Nearly at the final track but before that we have the Hanoi Rocks, headed by frontman Michael Monroe(pictured. blonde). A Finnish glam-rock group who basically crafted the genre and went on to inspire ‘pioneering’ groups like Mötley Crüe and Guns ‘n’ Roses. Well, fuck them! The Hanoi Rocks were the REAL DEAL! THE REAL PIONEERING MUTHAS IN 80’S ROCK! Other members of the band included Andy McCoy and Razzle* (R.I.P)

*portrayed in (2019) The Dirt, movie focusing on the Crüe’s rise to fame through drugs, women and booze

HANOI ROCKS-DON’T YOU EVER LEAVE ME

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Finally, I believe this can change and grow the feelings you might have of an old flame (sorry! 🙈🙉🙊), it ignites so much passion in myself and really puts you in a mood that makes you want to pack your things and find the one. If you haven’t heard her yet; you’re welcome.

PATTI SMITH -BECAUSE THE NIGHT

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Tune in next week, for more.

“I was very much into the poetry and music scene that was going on at the time. A vinyl EP of Christopher Logue’s Red Bird was something that I listened to frequently. So when Royston Ellis invited me to accompany him on guitar I knew exactly how to play textual music around his poems.

I knew about the Beats using music behind their writing. Jack Kerouac read from On the Road with a piano backing him on the Steve Allen Show. Royston did some stuff with the Silver Beetles (the Beatles). Royston was going to be reading poems, and I could play guitar behind them, not with just abstract content, but with melodic passages as well.

I did three events with Royston in 1961: a Heretics Society talk at Cambridge University in March, the British Poetry Festival in July and a TV programme in September.

The British Poetry Festival was a massive, week-long event in London with various literary luminaries such as Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath. There were even poets I had read at school such as William Empson, alongside actors from the Royal Shakespeare Company such as Dame Flora Robson. It was a huge honour to take part, courtesy of Royston.”

— Jimmy Page

1973 John Michael Ozzy Osbourne, "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" by Black Sabbath.

"... Nobody will ever let you know

When you ask the reasons why

They just tell you that you're on your own

Fill your head all full of lies"

BLACK CHOPPER (my poem/lyrics from 2013)

Riding on blck chopper you stole

This is what I call rock n' roll

You stole me into black night

Leave me in blue neon light

I guess there's no chace for liberation

Boy me coca-cola at next gas station

Look at this bright moonshine

Baby you're so easy divine

We are two lost besties

But happy like lover from 60's

With no money and no place to go

But I want this night to go by slow

We are lost in the middle of nowhere

But you don't seem to care

Riding on stolen motorbike

I don't know but I think this is what I like

Searching for cheapest motel in town

I really don't wanna sleep on the ground

I feel exactly same

Like when we were happy without money and fame

Your long black hair and dark eyes drive me crazy

My one-night love, rock n' roll baby

Steal me again into the black night

And make me feel so carless and right

my room smells like rain and I turn to water, nothing i do seems to help with the thunder. drown it out with candles of flowers, with inaccuracy the seconds turn to hours the white turns red and the windshields turn blurry and moldy and tired; the white turns red.
