Yes, that one.
It feels so good (feels so good) to be back at home.
That’s Magentalane.

Here’s the Site Feedback sticky thread that shows how to work around the Discourse video bug:
I recall reading that…
… the song Life In The Fast Lane is about Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham’s LA lifestyle.
… the song Tusk is about Mick Fleetwood’s dick.
Eh, and going back to probably before anyone cares, but I did an analysis of Mozart’s annual earnings in his Vienna years and the man never made less than a modern-equivalent of $100k a year. His last year (1791) his earnings neared $500k. He was never unpopular, he just SUCKED at handling money.
Relistening to Sir Army Suit right now. Oh the memories.
If we’re branching out to classical music…There’s an urban legend that this mugshot of Igor Stravinsky:
was taken after he was arrested while leading the Boston Symphony Orchestra in his arrangement of “The Star Spangled Banner” and booked on charges of “desecrating government property.” (It was actually taken for his visa application.)
I remember hearing that about Prince.
I remember hearing that about Marc Almond.
The only time Johnny Cash spent in prison was on a stage. He was cagey when asked about it because it gave him some cred with his audience. He did spend a handful of hours in a drunk tank here and there.
Currently staring in a pretty un-funny sitcom on Fox called Going Dutch. I can’t recommend it with a good conscious.
Yeah, I wouldn’t recommend watching it while conscious, either
It was also rumored for a while that he was going to commit suicide onstage on Halloween.
Holy shit - I just watched the trailer. If that’s the funny stuff, this show must be a laugh riot. What a stinker!
This reminds that notorious punk singer G.G. Allin always claimed HE was going to commit suicide on stage. Allinn also use to defecate on stage as part of his act.
Leary was excellent in No Good Deed, a show in Netflix that it well worth seeking out (the first episode is a bit slow, but it quickly picks up.)
I heard that for quite a while about GG Allin.
I’ve told this story here before, but here goes again. In the summer of 1993, I worked with a man who had lived briefly in Austin, TX and when we all talked about concerts we had attended, he sheepishly said, “I saw GG Allin.” I replied, “All I know about GG Allin is that every time he performs, he always ends up getting arrested. What does he do onstage, or do I want to know?”
"Oh, he shits onstage - "
Other co-workers: “You are lying!”
" - he sticks his microphone up his butt - "
“You are making this up!”
He got another job, and the day after he quit, I read in Rolling Stone that Allin was dead - from an OD at an aftershow party, not an onstage suicide. Too bad; I would loved to have told him about it myself.
When asked why he attended an event like that, he replied, “I just wanted to find out if the guy was for real.”
Alice Cooper was supposed to be Ken Osmond – aka Eddie Haskell from Leave It to Beaver.
I long heard that rumor about porn actor John Holmes.
… the song Tusk is about Mick Fleetwood’s dick.
I’ve heard that too. But, you’re right, according to a Rolling Stone interview:
"No one seems to agree on the origins of Tusk’s mysterious title. Caillat recalled some band members using the tusk as a symbol for “male prowess” — an in-joke that he found quite irritating. “I used to get so annoyed when these guys would be talking about it, like, ‘Get it, “Tusk”?'” he told me in Fleetwood Mac FAQ. “Yeah, I get it. What, are you six years old?” He emphasized that, despite the chatter, the name had “nothing to do with Mick’s penis.”
Dashut concurred. “What I’m fairly certain of is that it didn’t come from the dick meaning,” he said. “I know we joked about that, but I don’t think we were that frivolous to make that the album title. It was part of the artwork and the overall artistic concept. I’m not sure if any of us knew what it meant.”
Larry Vigon, the band’s art director during that period, said it originated from the elephant references in Beard’s artwork. And Beard himself added, succinctly, “The album was named Tusk because of all my photographs with tusks in them.”
I heard the rumor at college in 1977, Way before your 1981 rumor. We even pranked a local FM station by calling in and asking for the latest Rod Stewart hit, “Do You Think I Swallow” The DJ was not amused.
Keith Richards snorting his dad’s ashes like a line of cocaine.
he also had a cop series on TV, very obnoxious
