Eye Sore

I do believe today is Perfesser Ghiberti's birthday.  Happy birthday, Bugsy--may you rule beneficently over Geneva for many years to come.

Pachuco Cadaver, the Beefheart tribute band that's been about to start for the last year and a half, will make its debut as part of a (post-) Mother's Day Zappa Tribute at the Bay View Boat Club tomorrow.  We'll be playing "Harry Irene", "Candle Mambo" and "I'm Gonna Booglarize You Baby".

You & Me & Suzanne

We were the Three Musketeers:

            You and me and Suzanne

We were punk rock cavaliers

            You and me and Suzanne

Now there will be no such antics

Suzanne’s no longer a romantic

She’s more like a Lars von Trier

            Oh, you and me and Suzanne

We were like those Stooges Three

            You and me and Suzanne

On an endless, madcap spree

            You and me and Suzanne

I was Curly, she was Moe

You’re too sweet for Larry, though

That’s the way things used to be

            With you and me and Suzanne

We were once the best of friends

            You and me and Suzanne

Funny it came to an end

            You and me and Suzanne

But she lost you to another

That she thought of as her brother

Did she know you still like men?

            You and me and Suzanne

I guess I thought that I was just joking

            You and me and Suzanne

But it’s over, completely broken

            You and me and Suzanne

It was wrong, but I still did it

I’m an asshole, I admit it

The morning’s cold and we’ve awoken

            You and me and Suzanne

Saint John's has a new fight song:

True love of wisdom is sheltered in her halls
Seekers of virtue will answer to her call
Books and a balance are all the tools we need
St. John’s forever! She will make us free.


I was working on one myself, which I did not submit:

Saint John's forever
To her we pledge our youth
Steadfast are we in our
Grand pursuit for truth

Our search for wisdom
Surely cannot fail
Lovers of wisdom
We will always prevail

Here's a link to a couple of songs performed live last month.  It's just a cassette in-the-room recording, so the mix isn't all it could be.
