Hiwatt...your post #5 is so freaking right on the money it's scary! You're supposed to go to jail if you're in a rock n roll band, aren't you. Hell, the roadies do it all the time. Green spacesuits in an airport works every time. Sh*t howdy, Candy! | ||

Anybody know anything about this little ditty I ran across on the web? Creem’s Canadian Connection An Interview with Alan Niester By Andrew Lapointe Barbeques and weekend trips with Lester Bangs, dangerous encounters on Cass Avenue in Detroit, and the shenanigans of Richard Meltzer: These are just some of the memories rock critic Alan Niester has of Creem magazine. Niester is a native of Windsor, Ontario, but grew up with his eyes buried in the rock rags from the States, such as Crawdaddy! and Fusion. In the early ‘70s, he began freelancing for Creem and Rolling Stone, which meant traveling to the seedy area of Detroit where Creem was located. Alan has some fond and, incidentally, some strange memories of his time at “America’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll Magazine.” An excerpt from the interview; Andrew: Did you ever hang out with Richard Meltzer? Alan: Yeah, yeah. Richard of course was from New York--then California--so we didn’t see him very often, but there were a couple of memorable times when Richard came and he was quite a character. I remember very specifically a press party, there was this old mansion on the Detroit River called the Gar Wood Mansion, Gar Wood having been a speed boat racer in the 1930s or something, and his mansion sat over the river but the city had taken it over, and Kim Fowley had just recorded an album and was doing a press party, and they actually rented the Gar Wood Mansion for it--it was a big, spooky old place. And I remember Meltzer being there and I think that was the first time I ever met him, and there was a big buffet table for all the press, and Richard actually got up, stood on the table, and urinated into the punch bowl or the shrimp salad or something. That was basically my introduction to Richard; he was a pretty bizarre guy, much more so than Lester. Also, I remember when Nick Kent came from England. The only thing he would eat here was Sara Lee chocolate layer cake, like 3 or 4 times a day. Any Garwoodians have any memories about this? I don't. Could it possibly be an historical mistake of some sort? This is the whole interview, but there isn't anything else about the Garwood. http://rockcriticsarchives.com /interviews/alanniester/alanni ester.html | ||

It did happen but we were not aware of it going on because we were all down by the river at the burial at sea for the monkey. I remember we sat there for hours waiting for the little monkey to sink. Then when we got back in the house we wondered who had set up the big buffet. I thought the shrimp salad tasted a little funny | ||

I remember an album release/press party for Kim Fowley and the buffet stuff; I don't remember anybody pissing in the punch bowl. Check with Stillrockin on that. I think Gash said he and Hoover tossed one of Alice Cooper's guys for doing something along those lines. | ||

Basically, it's about a high school cheerleader type girl who thinks she's hot shit; then she gets old and discovers she ain't. Devastating. That's actually a Niel Young song. | ||

The owners friend won't be able to be a pall bearer. That's one off the list. She has no hands. (Message edited by rickbeall on February 18, 2009) | ||

Better call in Bentspur on this one. The woman said she gave the Chimp a glass of wine and some anti-anxiety pills before her friend stopped over? Is there another Garwood in a parallel universe playing out as we speak? | ||

Stillrockin, I'm not kissing up to anyone or anything, I still think it is nice to have a history you are proud of and can share and enjoy with your friends, wonderful...just because it was perverted, drug crazed, irresponsible, liberal, hippy and generally depraved... so what.... life goes on..eh regards | ||

I'm on my way to the monkey funeral. I am also taking up a collection for flowers. Just ask Ruth for my address and send cash only. Try to get it out today so I can get a nice arrangement for the little guy. Poor Travis the chimpanzee. Seems to me that those monkeys can not handle drugs very well. I could of told the lady that, from my experience. | ||

I thought the Garwood monkey had it pretty good to. He smoked the best hash, lived in a mansion on the river, Listened to some of the best bands in the world (Live) and went to some of the biggest parties in Detroit. I'm not sure about his sex life but you never know. He might have gotten to the turkey before the dog got it. |
