Not Ed: this is a riot
llanwydd: yean and brian jones and tpacs of sugar
Cease: glad maron turned me on to this guy
llanwydd: maro glace?
Bottles: Now that I think about it, the Doors had just made LA Woman, which was great. The idea that They were out of good songs doesn't make much sense.
johan amadeus myjetski: the king became ill after six helpings of maroon glace'. maroon glace' will no longer be served at court...
llanwydd: the doors could write a song in their sleep
llanwydd: and probably did
Merlyn: stiff
johan amadeus myjetski: i agree, bottles, but that rumor went around & around at the time of JM's death

llanwydd: marat faked his death?
Not Ed: Let's eat.
llanwydd: I had pia
Rufus_T_Firetween: I had a chance to intern with Jimi's last concert soundman in a recording studio in D.C. He said that Jimi's drug use was getting so bad towards the end that they were basically wheeling him in and out of the limo to get to the stage.
llanwydd: pizza
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood announces: "8:00 PM and late as usual, it's Zooky, just back from Hellmouth."
Bottles: HA! No, but he got stabbed to death in the bathtub in Paris.
llanwydd: Hey Zook
Rufus_T_Firetween: Hi Zooky
Not Ed: ugh that sounds awful Ruf how sad
Not Ed: Zooky Zooky

Rufus_T_Firetween: Morrison exposed himself to an audience in Florida, right?
Not Ed: oh man I really don't know the details
johan amadeus myjetski: i will confess,i was not, & am not today, a Doors fan
llanwydd: I doubt it
Bottles: That's what was said by cops, but Robbie Krieger said he pretended to, but didn't
Not Ed: not a doors fan either but played lots in cover bands back then
johan amadeus myjetski: yes, exposing himself. whipped it right out, as Frank Zappa would have said
llanwydd: not a doors fan either
Not Ed: probably not a good idea
Bottles: I liked the Doors
llanwydd: Ive walked through a few
Not Ed: I do like the keyboard feller Ray -he's pretty amazing
Not Ed: lol llan
Bottles: But whipping it out in Florida - how dumb! Unless he was too smashed to know what he was doing.
johan amadeus myjetski: i was surprised how many soldiers & marines in vietnam were Doors fans
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "There's one crawling up my leg!"
llanwydd: probably not true, jam
Not Ed: if you've ever tried to play his parts ,,,,his playing will humble you right quick
Not Ed: (Ray / Doors)
johan amadeus myjetski: it was hard to determine the truth back then, a half century later, it's all but inpossible
llanwydd: after he died they want on as the Floors
llanwydd: went
Bottles: It doesn't matter now anyway.
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "Let me hear it for me!"
johan amadeus myjetski: you're right, Not, about Ray M's musicianship - top notch!
llanwydd: whatis ron with misperring tonit
johan amadeus myjetski: they never had a bassist, Ray M. did the bass parts with his left hand.
Bottles: Yeah, he was great, playing bass the whole time even.
llanwydd: I did like krieger for playing without a pick, which is how I do it myself
Not Ed: Right on JAM seriously amazing and very difficult!
Bottles: I quit using a pick too, due to arthritis, it hurt to hold one.
Bottles: Jeff Beck quit using a pick, to be more versatile I heard.

Cease: by llan
Rufus_T_Firetween: from David about the ols albums:
Rufus_T_Firetween: *old
Rufus_T_Firetween: We’re working on that, Kurt - no company would “give” the rights back - we can either negotiate to get the master tapes back to us (but that’s really complicated), or work with Sony to reissue the originals with extras. That would likely be more profitable. At present, because of streaming, royalties are at a minimum. We are right now working to reissue the Box of Danger (4 hours) as a download to keep it in print. We’re also deep into “Ulysses vs. Giant Tacos From Outer Space” - the book with two feature scripts (O&A’s “Saucer”), the original Zachariah script, “EAT” and so much more. The terrific Bruce Snyder is doing pictures. We LOVE the fans! I wish we were out among ‘em again! Here on Honeymoon Bay we are in the midst of producing a major Radio Movie, but I can’t say much more
Cease: good reply
Cease: see you next week
Merlyn: Nite all
Bottles: It seems like their 50th anniversary would be a good reason for Sony to re-release their old stuff.
Deputy Dang: Most enjoyable! My apologies for not chatting much (hardly at all). I hope to be here more next week!
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "I only lie, or I tell the truth. Heh - just lyin'."
Not Ed: happy trails!
Bottles: Good night and thanks, Kurt, Cat and Merlyn.
Rufus_T_Firetween: ** Thanks for listening, all… See you next week, same Firetime, same Firestation…
Not Ed: tanx alls & hugs
Bottles: Love this song.
||||||||| "8:00 PM? I'm late!" exclaims Bottles, who then scurries out through the french doors and down through the brambles.
||||||||| At 8:00 PM, Deputy Dang vanishes mysteriously -- just as Nino the Mind Boggler predicted!
||||||||| Merlyn leaves at 8:00 PM, singing "Oh, I'm just a little fishy, floating in the sea, and there ain't no hook that's smart enough to catch the likes of me..."
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 1 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
||||||||| It's 1:00 AM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:

||||||||| Tweeny - dead from The Plague
