The Music Lover (10)

The odds and sods show:

Part I.   If certain musicians procreated think of how distorted their offspring would be:

--Lucinda Williams and Tom Waits.   Actually Lucinda Williams and Neil Young may be the parents of Tom Waits.   Or was that Marshall Chapman and Neil Young?  I think we need a paternity test.

--Mick Jagger and Donna Summer.   Sade.   Really.   I read this in a magazine somewhere.

--Bob Dylan and Joan Baez.   The kids name was Paul Westerberg.   Think about the Minnesota
connection.  Fuck Hibbing.  Where the hell is that anyway?

--David Bowie and Freddie Mercury.  This one is obvious.  I'll give you one guess:  Morrissey.

--Ozzie Osborne and Sharon Osborne:   Bristol Palin.   This was the first daughter that they had which they gave up for adoption to some Eskimo family.

--Sid Vicious and Nancy:  they had a kid named Justin Bieber.  Ok, enough, i'm stopping :-)


Part II:  Self fulfilling prophesies

The Exploding Hearts.   Of course it would end in an automobile accident.  In 2003, Adam "Baby" Cox, 23; Jeremy "Kid Killer" Gage, 21; and Matthew "Matt Lock" Fitzgerald, 20, of local band the Exploding Hearts were killed in a car accident. After playing a show at San Francisco's Bottom of the Hill, the band members were returning to Portland, along with their manager, Rachelle "Ratch Aronica" Ramos, 35. 

In 2011, the self styled prophet of all things that are only known to the Uge actually heard the Exploding Heart play while driving around on Thanksgiving looking for an open grocery store.  I think he ended up eating in a casino.

"Happiness is a Warm Gun."  John Lennon wrote this.  Look where it got him,  Nirvana?  We'd have to ask Kurt Cobain about that.   I'm so deep, don't ya think?

Lets get shoved back into shallow water then.   Kurt Cobain's wife once told an interviewer about the debates she and her spouse would get into about the merits of Lennon vs. McCartney. Seems Cobain preferred John, while his missus swore by Paul. Paul wrote fluffy pop songs with no real heart, he claimed. "What about 'Helter Skelter'?" she shot back. After a moments pause, Cobain could only say, "Well, who played the guitar?"

If the former Mrs. Cobain crushed her husband's final argument with the simple truth of the matter, she didn't say so in the interview.  Paul actually played lead guitar on "Helter Skelter," and George the rhythm guitar. John? He always rode shot gun.
