#Stein25 🎸🔥 #MusicChallenge Day 19 - Dog defense … William Boroughs, Kansas, neighbours … Drop ins welcome! Details attached …

19 Dog defense

I called Burroughs, who had moved away from New York and spent more time in Lawrence, Kansas, and asked if he could tolerate my company for a while. I stayed there for two weeks. Bill lived in a very normal house on a very normal suburban-type street. He knew all his very normal neighbors and they all liked him. In his basement, he had this big tube set up on a stand to more quietly shoot guns through. He had a bunch of cats and I think this was around the time he wrote his short book The Cat Inside, which discusses his relationships with felines and their effect on his spiritual and psychic life. He didn’t like dogs much and said the cane he carried was in part for dog defense. - Chris Stein

17 Saved by cats

The only ones in the loft were Debbie, Gary, Howie, and myself. In the middle of night, the cats woke Gary and Howie and those guys woke us. The flame had gone out in the boiler and instead of heat, it was pumping whatever sooty oily substance fueled the thing into the building. I was quite dizzy and we all had black around our nostrils from breathing this stuff. We ran around opening windows and sat there freezing while the place aired out. The cats had without a doubt saved us. - Chris Stein

#Stein25 🎸🔥 #MusicChallenge 15 Maybe fate … stilettos … loft … volunteer …. Drop ins welcome! Details attached

Maybe I was just attracted to this gorgeous girl who was a good singer, and maybe fate had conspired to put me in this spot at that particular moment. I gathered that the Stillettos band was nonpermanent, made up of transitory musicians. Elda knew who I was as a result of my association with Eric; she might even have seen me play with him somewhere, so as soon as I was able, I was at her loft volunteering for band duty. - Chris Stein

14 Biba

I got a couple of small black eye shadows that lasted for years. All their packaging was very severe and cool: shiny black containers with gold writing and deco design elements. There was even a theater in Biba’s where the Dolls had played earlier in the year. - Chris Stein

Reel-to-reel

These four would do comedic drag-based skits that Joey and I would video on the ancient Sony reel-to-reel machines. I had previously (some of the things I’d shot at Visual Arts were played at the station) discovered the existence of Manhattan Cable public-access television. - Chris Stein

#Stein25 #MusicChallenge - Rock and Roll moments Joni Mitchell telling elements of the Isle of Wight crowd that they were acting like tourists … • Joni Mitchell • Raised on Robbery Live in ‘79 🎸🔥 youtu.be/3xKSrUks8Go

11 Rock and roll moments

Kevin’s hair dramatically caught fire with fairly large flames leaping off the back of his head. It took him a minute to realize what was going on. I’ve seen a lot of rock and roll moments but this was up there. He just shook his head until the fire went out and kept playing with smoke pouring off his singed hair. They didn’t miss a beat and the audience went insane. - Chris Stein

#Stein25 🎸🔥 #MusicChallenge 10 - I See We Meet Again … Hendrix … sleeping bag … Star Spangled Banner … Drop ins welcome!

10 I see we meet again

The sea of abandoned mud-covered sleeping bags was exposed. It was the only time I saw Hendrix. I was very close to the stage. When he came out he looked around at the crowd and said, “I see we meet again,” which I thought was amazing. Later I heard “The Star Spangled Banner” as we were walking around. We drove back to Brooklyn. - Chris Stein

I don’t know exactly what the logistics were but my friends from Brooklyn had rented a big house on San Pablo Avenue right near to the Bay Bridge. The house is gone now, replaced by a self-storage place and a bait-and-tackle store. - Chris Stein

#Stein25 🎸🔥 #MusicChallenge 7 Beat-up station wagon … flamboyant … street scene Drop ins welcome!

I got back to San Francisco and ran into another friend from the MacDougal Street scene, Spade Steve. Steve was a flamboyant and very likable energetic kid. Someone had given him an old station wagon and he told me he was going to drive back to New York and did I want to come along. Of course I was down with this spontaneous plan and the next day we set out in the old beat-up station wagon. - Chris Stein

#Stein25 🎸🔥 #MusicChallenge DAY 6 - International Arrivals … JFK … subtext … Drop-ins welcome … Details attached:

6 International Arrivals

Bob Fass was a DJ on WBAI radio. He had a popular sort of underground show called Radio Unnameable. One night he started talking about what a great time he’d recently had at JFK Airport, just grooving around in the International Arrivals Building. The subtext seemed obvious: that he meant he had been totally stoned. He named a date in February when people should go out to the airport for this big celebration known as the Human Fly-In. - Chris Stein

4 Hatbox

I played certain tracks over and over. (My neighbors once complained to my parents when I’d spent a day playing “Lolita Ya-Ya” by the Ventures repeatedly.) I had a little blue console record player, one of those things that’s the size of a large hatbox. I also had an old Wollensak model 1515 tape recorder that my uncle, Stel’s brother-in-law, had donated to me. - Chris Stein

3 Sociopathy

My school life was like unto the ninth circle of hell. I had teachers who were full-on sociopaths, who shouldn’t have been allowed to interact with other human people let alone children.

#Stein25 🎸🔥 #MusicChallenge 2 Uncaring aisles … Or Woolworths, parakeets, mannequins … see attached!

My mother and me were in the basement of a Woolworth’s department store in the neighborhood. I must have gotten separated and was wandering around in the uncaring aisles. Suddenly two things happened simultaneously. There was a pet section and an escaping parakeet or parrot began screeching furiously, and at that exact moment I rounded a corner and came face-to-face with a plaster mannequin that had half its head creepily caved in. I still remember this juxtaposition sixty-five years later. - Chris Stein

#Stein25 🎸🔥 #MusicChallenge 1 Moon shot 🌗 Attached from Debbie Harry in the foreword:

“Reading about the early days, and all the things we did, and how hard we worked actually made me tired and dizzy when I first read some early pages. But it also gave me many wonderful feelings and refreshed remembrances that we shared as we flew headfirst on our fantastic “moon shot” on the good ship Blondie” - Debbie Harry

#Laurel24 #MusicChallenge 31 Striking Sparks - HNY! 🥳🎉 Thank you to everyone who has taken part, it has been great to see your picks - From 1st Jan, #Stein25 begins, based on Chris Stein’s “Under a Rock” memoir.

As Hunter S. Thompson recalled of his stint living in San Francisco in the 1960s, he could point his motorcycle in any direction and be “absolutely certain that no matter which way I went I would come to a place where people were just as high and wild as I was . . . you could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning.” - Michael Walker

#Laurel24 #MusicChallenge 30 Theater Baffling * Use the daily prompt (or attached paragraph) from Laurel Canyon by Michael Walker as inspiration for selecting your song choice. * Tenuous links actively encouraged. * Drop-ins welcome …

Glam performers gave off fuzzy sexual vibes—even though most were avowed heterosexuals—a bit of theater baffling to American rock and rollers and frightening to large swaths of the country. “I mean, nobody had seen anybody like us in Mobile, Alabama, in 1972,” says Michael Des Barres, who moved to L.A. from London with his glam band, Silverhead. “I’m in a yellow dress and blue cloche hat, and these rednecks want to fuck me or kill me, they didn’t know which.” - Michael Walker
