Haven't watched many "movies" lately, certainly not those which have particular questions which want answers about.
But today, just figuratively spanking it killing some time, I found out about the 2010 documentary *Lemmy* -- you know, from back in the day, in my wild years, I guess, I had a buddy who was all about the Lemmy (and the Nugent and ...here's actually a good one, the Rev. Billy G), but it never hit for me, sounded kind of weak on record.
Well, good guy, I guess.
More importantly, he seems one of the musicians who seems to understand that doing rock is the same as being rock is the same as being a great performer.
Had the same thought multiple times over the past few weeks, just inadvertently drinking a lot of coffee, and getting out the door with a lot of Chuck Berry on the hifi, and just, you know, waiting for water to boil like "yeah fuck yeah" and you know one time it's like "Cherokee" fast do the jazz thing, and other times it's hit some blues stuff and then...help me now! Got to boogie!
Takes a lot of energy to keep that up, especially just solo screwing around, but still trying to make it sound good -- because if it doesn't sound good, why do it at all?
Oh yeah, so I did have like a trivia question. Here's one. What in the fuck is the deal with all that Nazi bullshit? Weird. I've known one guy, a pretty mediocre musician, low-education, but lots of enthusiasm and plenty artistic in a blue-collar way, born and raised, who was into tattoos and history and books and stuff, who some of my grad student friends called "creepy ____", to distinguish him from someone else with the same surname.
So, like, what's the deal?
As I get a bit older old, I do even more into some kind of cultural identifcation, but I would still never buy a German car except as a joke. And, AFAIK, there isn't really any Jew in my family. Kind of murky history there, but it's not something I was born in, but it's something I was invited into by this woman and being very very close with her extremely Jewy family for however many years -- they became my family, and so, whatever. I don't know the history in my family on that side, but nobody does, so whatever. Still, would not have a German car.
So, what the hell is the deal with all this Nazi war crap?
