I know everything that's happened in rock and roll
Elvis and before and after, right on down the line
If they had Jeopardy for folks like me
I could win a million trillion dollars every single time
History of Rock and Roll by Rolling Stone
Said Zappa never s#*t on stage
But Ozzy ate the pigeons
And Gene Simmons kicked the shit out of Shaun Cassidy
The jury's still out on whether
Rod or Elton ever had their stomachs pumped
They found a pint of Bowie's semen
I know I'm not dreaming 'cause I read it in the liner notes
I read it in the liner notes, and hence it has to be
I got at least a dozen "drunken with Todd Rundgren" stories
Met him at a show and talked about the Grateful Dead
And I know the photographer who got punched out by Nilsson
While John Lennon marched around
Sporting a tampon on his head
It's nice to meet you
Have you heard of this great pop minutia
Happened back in '78
The Allmans and the Skynyrds got together
And they shared and Cher'd alike
Duane dressed up like Sonny Bono
I know it sounds outlandish and bizarre
And a little bit like blasphemy
But an interview with Chastity
Was written in the liner notes
I read it in the liner notes, and not on MTV
Whatever happened to Tim Buckley
Well, I'm the man to tell you
He ate broccoli, beans and bleach
And killed himself with rancid farts
And lawyers for Thin Lizzy are uniting
To prevent the sale to Michael Jackson
Of Phil Lynott's private parts
And I know the facts on who played what instrument
On every single tune
And while we're on the subject
Chynna Burton sang the cool parts on Dark Side Of The Moon
That three-part Beatles special didn't tell me
Even half what I already know
My friend Joe knew Sid and Nancy
Me, I'm not that fancy, I just read it in the liner notes
I read it in the liner notes, they wrote 'em just for me
Victor Krummenacher from Camper van Beethoven joins Segel (also CvB) for a beautiful sattva-sativa journey. Kevin Seal (from this band, Griddle) is a fan of Graham Connah, the organist on these jams. Griddle
Admitting some bias: Griddle's very own Kimo Ball is one of the guitarists in Jello's new band. Biafra's lyrics have never been funnier or more thought- (and action-) provoking. Occupy As F*ck. Griddle
A compilation of rollicking cuts from this Australian post-punk band that plays like a hybrid of the Velvets and the Stooges. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 3, 2017
