Silentpoet's Music Emporium

They say it's been confirmed that it was really MJ in this episode,  but due to contractual obligations,  he's still uncredited.

This video,  which was cut and turned into a video,  was from the BBC.  He (they) were previously banned from all broadcasting,  but they let him sing,  without the band,  which got into a huge riot with the stagehands and personnel during practice, a couple days before.

They told him to keep it tight,  which I guess he did.

I found a lot of weird music on an external drive I had in drawer.

It's, kind of, all over the place.

[Huaco Kid]

 

[Huaco Kid]

It all seems to be from Euro-weirdo thing I was going through.

I don't remember that part.

[Huaco Kid]

My children hate this album,  with passion.

But it's magnificent quiet camping-drinking music.

To me, anyway.

They hates Willie, too.

This came off the feed:

When I was  kid,  I had Dad's old HiFi.

It was 9' long,  and 3' deep.

It had radio and a turntable.  That's all we had.

It had tubes as big as a Coke can.  The two end-speakers were 2' across.  It had some in the middle.

By the time I got it,  it was waay past beat-up.  But it cranked.

For my 13th birthday,  my sister got me Deep Purple,  so I wouldn't turn into a Partridge Family gay-wad.

I think we burned one.

And I still have 10 friends that distinctly remember laying around,  to Lazy, on that stereo,  which produced sounds we'll never hear again.

I don't remember where that stereo went.

[Huaco Kid]

It was a family-social appliance. 

When Dad came home,  all happy,  and played J Cash on the turntable,  all was good.

If you asked for money,  he'd give it to you.

If he put on Nana and Doc's music,  just leave him alone.

[Huaco Kid]

Dad had an affinity for European marching music.

He had albums full of it.

Albums of foot-stomping,  gun slaps, bagpipes, and whistles and drums.

I kind of like it now, too.

[Huaco Kid]

We even went to some "concerts",  where the British guards did it, live.

And Lipizzaner horses.

They even had tanks and cannons, and stuff,  and kids like me loved it.

[Huaco Kid]

I got to touch the Gulf Le Mans car (in '69?).  We lived there,  and Dad was a bigger-shot than I knew.  It won.

I was told,  that the next year, the driver said, "Where's that little kid?"

I was fighting in the streets in England,  so I couldn't make it.

[Huaco Kid]

Back then,  the drug stores still had the Tube-test machines,  even though they were already almost gone.

We learned that you didn't care about any "part numbers"  (there was a phone book hanging on the side,  that showed all the numbers).

It was the pin-out.

If it fit in the socket,  you didn't even to hit the "test" button,  you just looked in the cabinet underneath,  for the same socket number.

TADA!

38¢.

 

[Huaco Kid]

We learned that all the broken TV's,  on big-junk-trash day, that we'd pick up,   were only a little broke.

Turn on the TV.

Touch all the tubes.

Burn the fck out of you.  Burn the fck out of you.  Burn the fck out of you.  Cold.  That one's bad.

But you've got ten more busted TV's.

If it fits in the pin-out,  it goes in.  Now you get to watch The Brady Bunch.

In CoLoR!

And then she gave me the Paranoid album,  because I was still too gay.

And her Alice Cooper albums,  to make the school hate me and give me detentions.

[Huaco Kid]

One day,  I came home and Mom was house-cleaning and had KISS Alive blasting on the HiFi.

She said,  "It's sooo cool!  I really like it."

KISS kind of lost their appeal after that.

[Huaco Kid]

I think she did that to Dot, with Alice Cooper, also.
