I had one of those Tonto suede fringe jackets when I was a lil' toughskin tyke. Anyway, this page isn't about mucoid removal, but merely a platform where I, Rollo Manhattan, "pick" my brain, comment on said pickage, and throw stuff out there to see what lands. Even with all them new-fangled iGadgets and such, it's gotten harder over the last buncha years NOT to wear stuff on one's sleeve, let alone get off, so try here I shall.

Brilliant doc filmmaking overall by Peter Jackson, lord of these things. Just witnessing these 4 twenty-somethings carve out timeless classics from nothing was awe inspiring. </span><span face="system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); font-size: 15px;">There was a section where it meandered too long about 1.5 hours in, and it could've been shaved about 30-45 mins from there and would've had the same affect, but I knew it would end with George leaving, so I braved it. </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s a document and fans should be able to see as much of it as possible at this point. If you were bored, fast forward. </span></span></span></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto"><span><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial;">Highlights of 2nd part: the flower pot talk, watching them come up with the words for “Get Back” and figure out the best way to play “Two of Us” and how they offhandedly discover Preston is the guy they need when he was just casually stopping by. Love hearing Paul’s early stages of “Back of My Car” and other solo stuff too, but seeing them mindbogglingly discard “All Things Must Pass” hurts. Maybe cuz “Let it Be” has a similar sentiment...? Cool seeing John go from subdued on day 1 to the life of the party as we knew him, and the love and respect he and Paul obviously had for each other is palpable. Paul also shows the humility we’ve become accustomed to seeing in his old age, and he’s obviously respected by all for his work ethic and talents. His Elvis impressions are off the charts too. Ringo, is a rock, and his drumming spot-on. I just wish they’d given more time to George’s amazing songs too, guy was so shy at times but when he spoke he was mostly on target. Even after he left and comes back it’s still the Paul and John show, however. Lowest point: Paul reading the headlines about George leaving et all, he goes on and on while others are playing. I woulda said “ok, we get it man, enough”, but George smiles right through it. Seemingly at peace with what happened… or maybe not.</span></span></div><div dir="auto"><span><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></div><div dir="auto"><div class="kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="margin: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto"><span><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial;">In the 3rd installment of “Get Back” we saw George Harrison play a much larger part, Ringo fart, Linda’s daughter Heather tear up the room, and the Beatles kill it on the roof. George says he doesn’t want to do the roof concert after Paul is now unenthusiastic (those two agreeing?), and then seems flummoxed when Ringo and John do. They didn’t have enough songs Paul thought but who would know they wouldnt have been able to do any more then they did anyway because of the noise complaints? </span></span></div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto"><span><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial;">As for the performance, I thought I remembered them playing more then the 5 songs they did, and didn’t need to see them do a few of them multiple times, but it gave us an opportunity to see the keystone cops respond in real time. I wish they’d played one of George’s tune up there though. All the songs played were/are great, and I hate that some people call the album they were working on their worst. Really? Come on. If that’s bad what is 99% of the other music out there: beneath shit? We even saw George help Ringo work on Starr’s “Octopus’s Garden”, a song, in my opinion, better than anything ever written by the Foo Fighters, and, it was penned by Ringo, who again, mind you, destroys on the drums as well. As a musician and songwriter I would rather him behind the kit then anyone. Case in point, Taylor Hawkins of the Foos, an awesome drummer, could NOT do the “Get Back” shuffle beat at the RnR HOF, while Ringo does it with ease. His fills are tasty, he can swing, what’s not to like? Best band drummer ever in my opinion, no contest. Back to the album: how could they leave “Don’t Let Me Down”, a fucking classic, off it? And Harrison’s “Old Brown Shoe” too? They all seemed to dig both of those songs immensely. Goes to show you the plethora of classics they wrote in a few short weeks, surrounded by film and recording crew and friends and strife no less. Amazing.</span></span></div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto"><span><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial;">“And in the end”, the film dispels the whole “tumultuous sessions” bs. Yeah, there were obsticles, but I never met a recording session or a shoot that didn’t have them. These guys fucking loved each other, and enjoyed working and playing together. I was jealous watching them, knowing how much shit I went though in bands I was in. Maybe Paul wasn’t happy with what became of his grand plan, but he should’ve been. And John, who seems nauseatingly ga ga over Allen Klein, as he longs for a new Brian Epstein, anyone other than Paul perhaps, gets pulled back in from what’s obviously earlier reluctance; a “festering wound” George and he hadn’t attended to. Maybe he was strung out too on heroin at the start as well, he had been hanging with the Stones (fun seeing him rehearse the Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus intro so many times after being invited to do it). What we didn’t get to see or hear I imagine was that Paul did a lot of apologizing when they all met privately, apologizing for keeping the band afloat and for his enthusiasm as well as his boorishness or maybe insisting they HAD to after their Apple Boutique venture went under. Whatever the case, he, or maybe it’s the lovable Ringo or a joking, charismatic John, brings George back in the fold. Their make-up would all soon be forgotten I guess as the business shit would eventually trump all other gripes, come-to-grips and goodwill. It’s sad to see them go their separate ways at the end of this because you know that the Klein/Eastman control thing will be the final wedge that causes John to leave and then Paul to sue, and it will take years for them to dig each other again (by the way, man did those "Dig It" jams rock). In the meantime, Paul and Yoko will shoulder the blame, though, as in the band itself, it takes 4. They had just run their course. George was already talking to John in this about how nice it would be to do his own album, so it was all inevitable. They were so young though still, but, they looked older, more world weary then their years. John didn’t look 28, he looked closer to 40.</span></span></div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto"><span><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial;">But in this thing we get to see them as we never have; 4 great, talented friends working and playing off each other, creating the best pop/rock music that there’s ever been. Paul was, is, obviously a genius. John, though possessing less of a work ethic by this time, or tired of the grind, was one too. And they still help each other with their songs if not totally writing together (man, I wish I had that without fighting in my bands after I returned to music from 2000-2006). George, on the other hand, was just beginning to let his genius shine in this. He plays the beginning of “Something” in the last installment with other words and your jaw drops. All in all, I don’t think they could’ve continued on with 3 geniuses without stiffing one anyway, but it was cool seeing them try here. We also get to see Linda and Yoko (who was not disruptive, at least not here) get on swimmingly!</span></span></div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto"><span><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial;">As a fan and as a musician/songwriter, “Get Back” was priceless viewing, and I only wish there was more, somehow, some way. John Lennon's first son Julian said it was "life changing" for him. Though I wouldn't go that far, that it was for him is kinda special. For me, it accomplished a heluva lot in understanding where they were at at this point in time, and with zero interviews. </span></span></div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto"><span><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial;">It was also fucking fun.</span></span></div></div></div></div>Rollo Manhattanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05004489619236144348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326088.post-79856074344494539962021-07-31T23:41:00.005-04:002021-07-31T23:43:53.961-04:00Motherf--kin' Phil Schaap man.<p><span face="system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Listening to Phil Schaap. This is his 51st year DJing on WKCR. Crazy. I remember hearing him on hot summer days, while with my Dad when I was 12 years old, talk endlessly about Bix Beiderbecke, Fats Waller and Benny Goodman, and here I am now at age ___ listening to him do just that, still. My Dad made cassettes of his shows and I still have a few that are over 40 years old. How could he possibly have anything new to say on air after all these years? It blows my mind he’s still doing it. Time is an amazing thing man. Sometimes we get so caught up in the here and now that we take for granted the endless stream of time… and Phil Schaap. Phil Schaap is relative. Not a relative, but the continuum of this man is a phenomenon in itself… Now stop blabbering and play some music already, Phil.</span></span></p>Rollo Manhattanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05004489619236144348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326088.post-26463893411882547382021-07-30T12:38:00.003-04:002021-07-30T14:13:32.379-04:00Crisis.

I thought it was a walk in the park/normal tourism? They want it both ways. Hypocrites to the end of times.

color: white; font-family: arial;"><span><span face="" style="font-size: small;">Many of us had no choice but to stay. If you were lucky you could get away on weekends, which is what my girlfriend and I have done thanks to her old beater car, going to a beach one day a weekend since March, far before when we’d normally have gone. Just to see the horizon, breathe fresh air and get out of, what was, really, a living hell March-May. The constant sirens blaring was the worst, a death knoll impossible to avoid. My rental apts. tiny roof became indispensable as well, for push-ups and fresh air. Thankfully the rest of the building, or those tenants who remained, didn’t seem to catch on to that. Overall it’s been a been a strange time and hard to fathom that 5 months have passed, but I have been able to create a lot at home during this duration, after an initial period of way too much drinking and tv watching. NYC is my home, where I was born, and though I need nature and try to get to it when I can (afford it), pushing through here during the apex of the pandemic is somewhat of a mark of pride all of us who remained should feel. It ain’t over yet though, not by a long shot I’m afraid. As for this who bailed or would bail on NYC? They're not real New Yorkers, sorry. They're rich, that's their City</span></span><span face="" style="font-size: small;">.</span></span></p><div class="mvm fbPhotosPhotoOwnerButtons stat_elem" id="fbPhotoSnowliftOwnerButtons" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /></div>Rollo Manhattanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05004489619236144348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326088.post-70309840515572726012020-07-21T23:16:00.001-04:002020-07-21T23:20:20.265-04:00Anti-Mask, The MovieVariety reports that the sequel to Mask, Anti-Mask, will<i> not</i> star Jim Carry, but will feature media demon Tucker Carlson in his acting debut, alongside John Voight as his mentally deranged father, Kanye West as his dunderhead best friend, and a viral actress named Karen as the love interest. There will be only non union in small roles, or, they'll be CGI’d (this hasn’t been fully determined yet as only name actors and celebrities are the concern of Hollywood). Regardless, the aforementioned “talent” will be the <i>only</i> people getting residuals... ever. The film's score will be a collaboration by West and Kid Rock under the name Kid West. The White House has bypassed SAG-AFTRA and approved the production, which is slated for the Fall (of the American Empire).Rollo Manhattanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05004489619236144348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326088.post-57262809992882519002020-06-13T19:38:00.003-04:002020-06-13T19:38:18.802-04:00It's Thank You Masked Man, Not F--k You Masked Man. Pandemic-fatigued idiots seem intent on making the pandemic even worse... smart. Newsflash: we’re ALL pandemic-fatigued, but that doesn’t mean throwing common sense and care for your fellow man, woman and child out the window does it?
Wear. A. Fucking. Mask.
Or, you may die or potentially kill someone else. It’s that simple. How hard is this for Americans to understand? We lead the world in cases and deaths, 2nd place is not even remotely close, yet we can’t stop our impulses to be complete and under senseless morons? Apparently not. Why wait til November this says, this country and Trump are joined at the broken hip and doomed in one way or another... or in all ways.

It’s run it’s course and glad it’s over after tomorrow. All of the other major cities have ended them already. They should try enforcing mask wearing instead of this, the virus is out of control... again! Went to Bklyn in a car as, well, have barely left my apt. for 3 months and wanted to get out for a few hours, is that so horrible? Yet I couldn’t get back to the city, even though I live here and we got back got</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: , , "blinkmacsystemfont" , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> to Bridges at 7:45pm. Curfew was supposed to be 8pm, no? Cops we tried to get answers from came to window, none wearing masks, not a one, and they knew nothing. Traffic was a clusterfuck, and tunnels were closed too. Why tunnels? Are people going to march though tunnels? They’d rather people drive in circles for hours around the city til 5am or sleep in cars? Anyway, parked in Brooklyn and took subway to get home in the end. First world conplaints? Ok, perhaps, but just like this country with Coronavirus and income inequality and racism my point is there is no plan, no progress, the only plan as always seems to be to make shit up as each problem arises and make things worse it seems to keep us off our game. Why a line of police in riot gear stopping anyone from coming home on bridges? Makes me think of Trump at the borders. 2.5 hours later after being right at the bridge in Brooklyn we got home. Phone was dead and had I not thought “maybe subway is open” we would’ve been sleeping in car and the cops could give a shit, like they could give a shit about the protestors they’ve arrested and crammed together into crowded holding cells, sans masks. What was the point of this? “No looting” seems to be of paramount importance but it seems like no protesting period was the reason. That’s anti-Democracy. Nothing and nobody else was considered either. I live and pay taxes in Manhattan and I couldn’t get back home. I don’t own a car myself, happened to be in one, but what was the point of keeping people out and away from home and enforcing a curfew a half hour before it was supposed to be? Making people who have cars park far away from where they live? Lying to people, essentially. Sound familiar? So much in this country needs changing its mindboggling. It feels like there’s no one in charge, and those with some common sense haven’t enough. I’ve always given DeBlasio a flyer but man, he has no clue. The episode just made me more pissed then I already was at cops and the powers that be. Vote them all out in November, time to start anew bc this country is f’d up.</span></span>Rollo Manhattanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05004489619236144348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326088.post-48945790815224023082020-05-26T00:15:00.001-04:002020-05-26T00:46:46.987-04:00The Sound of Sirens<div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX4 SCXW88051902" style="clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; font-family: "segoe ui", "segoe ui web", arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative;">

Our entire way of life here is devised around taking over and one upping the next guy, gal or ethnicity. Greed and selfishness as opposed to selflessness, make it in America (at the expense of others). The country has tried to evolve but its Id (the dark side) is powerful. Americans get off on it daily. We may preach that “all men are created equal”, but angst, an inferiority complex and inherent penchant for Inequality is at the root of America as much if not more than equality. The US needs a whole lotta fixin’, it’s an immature child at a new school in need of therapy in comparison to other countries.Rollo Manhattanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05004489619236144348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326088.post-32350680880496531642018-02-24T16:28:00.000-05:002018-02-24T16:28:00.492-05:00A wise man once said today...Man getting thrown out of Starbucks: “The only right you got in this world is the right to take a crap”.

We pass a few stops, then all of a sudden she stands up abruptly as if she's exiting at the next stop, but really as though she was leaving the scene of a crime, her crime, for immediately, the area and air around us begins to wreak like the worst fart one has ever encountered. It was obviously from her as she did not get out, yet just stood there with that same blank model expression she wore while sitting next to me. A stop goes by and everyone's holding their noses, gasping for a breath of clean air. I may have been the only one who knew who the unlikely culprit was, but, well, you know the old adage "whoever smelt it dealt it", so I wouldn't kiss and tell, or even nod in her direction. After her passed gas elapsed I get off at the next stop, as does she, and her secret remained safe with me for all of eternity.Rollo Manhattanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05004489619236144348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326088.post-57775206363140303792018-02-02T18:24:00.002-05:002018-02-02T18:26:26.888-05:00Dow plummets 666 points.

Now I’ve lived in NYC all my life (give or take a few years) and this has never happened to me. I’ll let you read into what I think that says about the NYC of now... Anyway, I was walking on the LES when all of sudden someone seemed to be walking directly behind me. I noticed him out of the corner of my eye as one does but before I could think of changing my direction I was grabbed from behind and spun around by an imposing guy wearing all black and a mask covering half his face. He told me to “be quiet” and “hand over (my) wallet”. I was stunned but I was not about to hand him a damn thing, and I said as much to his face. I then somehow managed to wriggle myself out of his grasp while protesting, even though he looked like he was winding up to punch me, and I pushed him away. He said something to me (which I can’t recall) and I bolted. I turned back in mid run to see him reach into his jacket pocket, so I ducked as I ran and zigzagged in the event he had a gun. Thankfully he wasn’t carrying but it sounded like he sprayed something (mace?) albeit too late obviously. I ran into a restaurant and called 911, the people at the counter there were really helpful and asked if that was him now standing on the corner. He’d followed me it seems but didn’t know which place I’d ducked into. He stuck around almost a minute looking left and right before splitting. The cops then showed up and we drove around looking for him, but nada. After that I did all the requisite stuff at the local precinct with some on the ball detectives and then walked home. It was almost a couple hours after the incident by then. Thankfully, I was unscathed and I lost nothing, just a couple hours.Rollo Manhattanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05004489619236144348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326088.post-37688263981970209262017-12-21T01:00:00.001-05:002017-12-21T12:07:32.728-05:00Mad as Hell Freezes OverAt what point does what Peter Finch says in the film Network at the very least happen, nevermind a full-on revolt? How much fuckery does it take? Just asking. I've read about the "Mueller firing red line”, but will people really collectively rise? I have my doubts. Part of me thinks people almost want this country to become as unequal and fascistic as possible just to see if it really can happen, or just talk about it endlessly until it does. And if it's not happening to them well... Look, if a tree falls in the woods, whether you personally hear it or not doesn't matter, it makes a sound. It's happening, and we live in a collection of States that supposedly calls itself United, doesn't that mean having each other's back? Inaction about increasing day to day occurrences of oppression, suppression and repression, racism, classism, inequality, greed, corruption and general lack of empathy that have permeated all aspects of life and work across America leads me to believe that this complacent (and often complicit) country of selfish individuals simply does not have what it takes to take a stand. We seem to be on a b-line to begone.Rollo Manhattanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05004489619236144348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326088.post-37170166765685006242017-12-13T18:46:00.001-05:002017-12-13T18:47:54.246-05:00Overheard 2 guys in conversation on the subway:
Guy 1- "People on the subway, they don’t wanna talk to each other, you notice that?"
Guy 2- "That’s cuz they’re tryin’ to relax... I don’t even wanna talk to you."

I'm reminded of the following lyrics from Devo's song "My Baby Left Me a Surprise" when I think of the mess Trump is making:
Itchy goo goo goo
It's all I want to do, whammo
You got me running in circles
Like a pee-pee baby
I'm so happy I just want to die
Cause this baby love
It comes from up above
Move on over
I want to get closer
Move on over
want to twaddle with you
Move on over
Satisfy my urges
Please, please help
I got the goo, goo itch
You got me running in circles
Like a big-big baby.Rollo Manhattanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05004489619236144348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326088.post-38036932446864605872017-12-06T02:13:00.002-05:002017-12-06T02:13:49.633-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj15DoWQHsaOvgY1uYz7NtMLfth4qTCLmrpm_oWjHpi9VXme0Pdeqrjfs5s0d0tD1A4k9O76qFOq41hMC3416IRtPWj35tUp5Z1dlBIYWg8Q6vGbvJLKcU3bEYTJTX38St86q67KQ/s1600/belushi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj15DoWQHsaOvgY1uYz7NtMLfth4qTCLmrpm_oWjHpi9VXme0Pdeqrjfs5s0d0tD1A4k9O76qFOq41hMC3416IRtPWj35tUp5Z1dlBIYWg8Q6vGbvJLKcU3bEYTJTX38St86q67KQ/s400/belushi.jpg" width="400" height="207" data-original-width="517" data-original-height="267" /></a></div>Rollo Manhattanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05004489619236144348noreply@blogger.com0
