BZ’s Berserk Bobcat Saloon, Tuesday, June 27th, 2017, with guest White Mamba, Esq.

Posted on by

My thanks to the SHR Media Network for allowing me to broadcast in their studio and over their air twice weekly, Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as appear on the Sack Heads Radio Show™ each Wednesday evening.

Featured in the Saloon tonight was the White Mamba, Esq., The Official Attorney of the Berserk Bobcat Saloon, otherwise known at TOABBS. Because of his lawyerliness (yes, that is an official word), I asked him to weigh in on the recent events of the US Supreme Court this week, to include the opinion on the Trump travel ban and two other important SCOTUS cases.

Tonight in the Saloon:

  • “I’d like to have an argument, please,” at the Argument Clinic;
  • “I could be arguing in my spare time.”
  • Jealousy: a buddy is moving to Montana; I’m not. That says it all. Harumph!
  • CNN is having a bad week; schadenfreude returns with a vengeance;
  • Shuckie-darn, 3 CNN Fake Newsies resign, axed by CNN CEO Jeff Zucker;
  • Three things more trusted than CNN:
  • —- Breast milk from Bruce Jenner;
  • —- Unprotected sex with Madonna;
  • —- Having a drink with Bill Cosby;
  • James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas skewers CNN; they admit they are Fake News;
  • CNN does NOT refute the Project Veritas video; that bespeaks volumes;
  • White Mamba, Esq opines on all things SCOTUS;
  • Demorats register the “wrong dead people” in Virginia;
  • Judge Napolitano: Loretta Lynch could do serious prison time;
  • Piers Morgan skewers Muslim London Mayor Sadiq Khan.

Two brilliant creators:

“It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, stains become a warning. It is by will alone that                           I set my mind in motion.”

Two major creative forces in my life, one by an aural venue, the other by a visual venue.

Frank Zappa and Jack KirbyFrank Zappa and Jack Kirby.

Frank Zappa:

Jack Kirby:

Jack Kirby GalactusThose of you who know these names are especially hallowed.  I hadn’t know they’d ever met.  But their brilliance still shines on like crazy diamonds.

They have both passed on, but their radiant splendor blossoms.

George Duke: passes at the age of 67

Posted on by

George DukePeople may not remember George Duke, but I certainly do — as a former player for Frank Zappa, a genius I admired for years and, who himself, passed away in 1993 at the age of 52 due to prostate cancer.

George Duke passed away on Monday, August 5th, at the age of 67, in Los Angeles, from chronic lymphocytic leukemia.  Keyboards and trombone were his brilliant forte.

I remember him for his jazz-fusion background with Zappa and also with French violinist Jean Luc-Ponty.

He played here with Frank Zappa’s various iterations:

As sideman

With Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention

God bless you sir.  You are preceded by likewise brilliant musicians.  Imagine what you and Dave Brubeck could do.  Oh?  You’ve just now met him?

The music you can make now, sir.  It staggers.

Here, the fabulous Brothers of Invention, George Duke and Jean Luc-Ponty:

Now you have just a whiff of the brilliance of this wonderful musician.
