50 Years for the Dolls debut!

oh yeah i like this slowed-down version

OWWW-WOOOO

rivaling wolfman jack

checking in, hello !

tom! hi

NEW YORK DOLLS❣️

the NY Dolls track inspired a little wiki dive.. "the Dolls auditioned drummers, including Marc Bell (who was to go on to play with Richard Hell, and with the Ramones under the stage name "Marky Ramone"), Peter Criscuola (better known as Peter Criss, the original and former drummer of Kiss), and Jerry Nolan, a friend of the band." just wild to think of all that rock and roll history packed into that one decision!

Eso!

Velvets/Lou, Alice Cooper 70s live & studio band, Kiss, Dolls, etc etc... lot of NYC connections there yep

makes me want to re-read Please Kill Me again, Brian! Have you ever read that book? Such a fun read on the origins of punk + beyond.

I felt bad for DJ Casey yesterday that the playlist had an error with the time stamp which caused the chat to close an hour early. DJ Casey had another TopNotch Show and I’m thankful I caught it! 🎉 🎵 🎶

oh no! mr. m

casey is always top notch:)

Please Kill Me, Russell! yes! legs McNeil?

This one is getting in there

in your ears, brian?

Haha

Yep that's the one!

Lord have mercy

chock full of goodies

that book

funny story (or not), i once approached legs for an interview and his publicisit wanted to charge me. oh well. C ya!

hahah now that's punk rock.. yikes

right, russell

haha

has anyone read the wisdom of insecurity by alan watts

?

No. Sad 😔

ha, it's basically i think to say embrace insecurity as opposed to feel security from consumerism

or something like thath lol

Alan Watts - Used to listen to his "lectures" then he committed suicide. The band Material also uses his spoken words in one of their songs. Lazwell became a big time producer.

how’s about BOTH!?! Read my book, instead!🕴️

wow, brian m. i didn't that

i will, mr. m!

Well, wait until I write it tho, yo. 🤗

ha

me, too! for my opus., too

He came into the scene with all the other Gurus and also TM

I’m there! Signed copy! 📕🖊️❣️ thx, DJ Esoterica!

yup!

my bro david gave me TWOI book

watts

Ram Dass (Richard Alpert) had a book to

Haven't heard Magick Brother in ages!!!!!! AWESOME choice.

Be Here Now - They were all capitalizing on gullible people falling of new age gobbledy gook.

I'm not correct - He died of a heart attack

Oops. 🚨 DJ! Add correction on air!

See below!
