A.S.S. 228: All My Homies Built Like a Music Note. Ft. FrankJavC

The squirrel nuts lifestyle you know what I mean.

Lyrics:

Yup, you already know who it is it’s **** from the 626 I lowkey be **** but we keep it on the down low.
I’ll get a better nic-, fuck better mnic-, fuck mic next time, jesus christ.
Freestyle time.
When I come in yo’ bitch she be saying “hello”.
Cause like I came in the door and she said “hello”, she opened the door and she said “hello”.
Mhm that's what happened.
Oh shit the beat, oh yeah, yeah, yeah fuck how do I rap.
I fuck on yo’ babymom she be giving me hella top record that shit leave it on my desktop, sell that shit to gamestop,
No C-CD fuck.
Dude I genuinely can't rap right now like my nutsack hella itchy and I cant fuckin itch it I’m wearing like 6 pairs of pants right now, cause I was kinda cold now I’m really fucking hot.
Like I’m- fuck it I’m just gonna kill everyone, I’m gonna fucking shoot everyone, like this isn’t some fucking joke I’m genuinely gonna shoot everyone I’m fucking sick of this shit I have a fucking AK, like I have everything.
Fuck it I’m getting my squirrel nuts out, I have squirrel nuts fuck you, fuck you squirrel nuts.
I got grenades, I got grenades and I got squirrel nuts, I got like RPG’s, RPG’s and grenade launchers too, like my squirrel nuts weren’t even the worst of it, I got squirrel nuts by the way,  squirrel nuts fuck you, you know squirrel nuts, you don’t even know what squirrel nuts are, you’re not even tapped in.

Squirrel Nuts (prod. hitmaker)

My head hurts.

Lyrics:

What the fuck ohhh ohh my head hurts so bad.
Ohhhhh what the fuuck.
Damn, fuck what was I gonna say?
Oh shit, yeah.
Oh jesus fuck, I stole your catalytic converter and by the way your bitch is a squirter.
Fuck, jesus oh fuck.
And the women around me all are so fine they could be named “Jamie” Dylan Brown, Dylan Brown, Dylan Brown reference, Dylan Brown, Dylan Brown mom, Dylan Brown mom.
Richie Rich in this bitch, 
Ima keep it a buck I only got .28 cents in my bank account,
With the way I’d never switch.
I miss Fetty Wap, I want it to be 2015 again.
I’m about to beat up a small child so bad to where someone in the crowd is gonna scream “worldstar”
And I’m not far from logging into twitter and tweeting like Kanye.
Fat bitches are sex offenders because they sexually offend me.
And I am not a phony, I do not fuck with balonie or most lunch meats, I could really fuck up some macaroni and cheese right now.

John Fugelsang Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson 

Stop everything! John Fugelsang, a Drama League-nominated actor, comedian &  host of Tell Me Everything on SiriusXM, is one thought-provoking, gracious, informed, intelligent, sexy liberal! And boy did fill the hour with passion and hope. 

With informed insight, John offered us tools when dealing with the maga faux Christian right, which will be expounded upon in his upcoming book, Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person's Guide to Taking Back The Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds, which will be published this August by Simon & Schuster. 

We talked this election, John and my belief, or disbelief, I should say. We talked 47, Musk, RFK Jr, Bush, Clinton, Sanders, Obama, Kamala, Vance… there’s meat on these here bones. 

The son of a nun and a Franciscan brother, quite the story in itself (and John tells it so well), his break from traditional religion at a very early age and his reason for it, which I found particularly compelling, how he got started in the business of show, first making money at it at the ripe young age of eleven. How stage took him to stand-up, and then interviewing. Hearing about what he describes as hs novice 4 hours with George Harrison, where George played on air for the last time, four songs he’d never played on air, and then jetting off to London the next day to interview Paul. Oh my lord! 

We rounded out the hour discussing our mutual passion for Bob Dylan, John’s 60+ concert experiences greatly different than my one. Our mutual love and admiration for A Complete Unknown, John’s certainty that Timothée will garner an Oscar, and perhaps Edward Norton as well. Me, not so much, even after voting for both of them for SAG Awards today. 

John is a funny, provocative, thrilling conversationalist. I had a spectacular time in his good company. I highly recommend giving this a watch as an antidote to the current crazy.

John Fugelsang Live On Game Changers With Vicki Abelson

A parody of Lil B ~ B.O.R. (Birth of Rap)

Lyrics:

Dogshit chronicles,
Project

King of shitty rap I can bet my money on that,
Can’t face the facts that a young idiots killin’ shit.
I miss 2015 and those Fetty Wap songs,
I fucking hate Sonic the Hedgehog.
You left me on delivered, now I’m about to go in yo bitch raw.
She gave me head before sex, you know that jaw sore.
I'm as fly as the egyptians, Ra
Sun god.
Don’t fuck with most these guys cause they act like they were brought up wrong.
Why did Ian wear that jacket for about a month long?
Lightning McQueen the way I speed to that lunch line,
Food may be ass but I’m hungry and I couldn’t give a rats
Cats are worse than dogs.
Fight me.
Don’t play with none of that shit, I might bite ya.
Next time someone puts their hands on me and I don't like it, ima’ strike ya.

I fuck with Yuno Miles.

Quite a surprise.
I’m kinda hungry, I could go for some fries
I should get some from Five Guys.
And I got a promo code, let me be wise.
Some of these people need to start putting on deodorant, I’m starting to see flies.
Cause when I’m sitting next to another guy and they smell like shit I seem to start saying
“Hey guys! I guess that’s it.”

B.O.S. (Birth of Shit)

@boombap-258536787, I still fucking hate Sonic the Hedgehog

Lyrics:

This is geeked vs locked in and you’re geeked. 
you’re the opposite of a freak in sheets, 
you’re weak.
I’m with your ex girl and she said after your relationship you were crying for weeks.
I'm about to eat Brent’s dogs,
 spit roast, 
I might even eat the teeth.

 Imagine a cat with wings and it says “I’m a hawk too” heh… lol. 

Ts pmo I can’t handle your dumbass,
Jackass,
big ass forehead ass,
You’re a twig, I don’t fuck with peppa pig, 
Nor sonic fuck you boombap. 
Get better production bitch.

Cat with Wings (prod. RXKZ & JXYLN)

Rosemary Butler Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Part 1

Astrologer Zoe Moon warned it was gonna be a crazy day. I read that first thing this morning but forgot about it until 4:45 pm when things started going sideways. What could have been a non-show disappointment, turned into a delayed, technical bit of a mess, but ultimately delightful chat with the incomparable Rosemary Butler. Just the appetizer for what is sure to be a delightful feast when next we meet, Wednesday, March 26th, promptly Live @5! 

Instead of what I thought would be a quick hello, sorry, see you next time, Rosemary delighted with some choice stories about where she came from, her two all-girl bands, The Ladybirds and Birtha, opening for The Stones, great stuff there from the Beatles fan who eventually did get to sing with her hero, Paul, who inspired her to be a lefthanded singing bassist, through sheer Moxie, thanks to Kenny Loggins and Peter Asher, a funny Three Dog Night/Chuck Negron tale, a wonderful Ray Charles invitation, Bonnie Raitt, who she credits with changing her life, but we barely scratched the surface there as we did with Jackson Browne. 

Rosemary has sung, toured, and recorded with everyone who's anyone... Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor,  Carole King, Neil Diamond, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Whitney Houston, to name a few more - those stories and lots more when Rosemary comes back, under more ideal conditions, feather in hand, with her adorable exuberance to amuse and delight us! 

In addition to being an iconic backup singer whose memorable riffs have scored my life, Rosemary is a renowned vocal coach and gigs regularly. For all things Rose rosemarybutler.com

She's beautiful, adorable, has lived a life dreams are made of, with a voice that'll deservedly live forever. Can't wait for more.

Benny Harrison Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson 

What fun to sit down and catch up with keyboardist, singer, songwriter, producer, Benny Harrison, who I’ve known for 5 decades. There was so much I didn’t know. Benny gave us the back story––growing up mixed race from hard-working parents who may or may not have been on the wrong side of the law, but who taught him strong work ethics and appreciated immediately and encouraged his musical gifts.

When his brother sold his piano, Benny turned lemons into lemonade, practicing at a local school which garnered him his first professional gig with Henry Gross, which led him to sing onstage with Michael McDonald. When I met up with him, he was sitting in with Mason Reese, and then Phoebe Snow sat in with Benny and The Spydrs. A kickass player and entertainer, Benny was in regular rotation at all the clubs I booked back in the day. 

Benny tells a great story about a night at Spo-Dee-O-Dee’s and a couple of huge surprise special guests. 

Benny has played with Vernon Reid; Corey Glover; Joe Walsh; Elvis Costello; Simon Kirke; and Charlie Drayton, among many others and for four years his Spydrs were the house band at The China Club’s famed Monday nights where Bruce Willis, Rick James, Steve Stevens, Linda Perry, Eddie Vedder, Billy Idol, and whoever was in town, would sit in with the band. We talked with mutual zeal of our love for the place, those nights, that time. 

Benny has been active with Veterans who are either suffering from PTSD, alcohol, drug abuse, or homelessness, in a program called Voices of Valor. It's a 9-week process to write a song with the Vets who have served our country. He produces and creates the musical/harmonic part of the process, and then takes the Vets into a recording studio, where they can experience the process. He shared a most moving sweet story of a silent woman’s transformation. 

Working on an upcoming Documentary, Back Up Front, it tells the story of players including him who started out in front, worked the backline and are once again stepping out front.

Benny’s upcoming album, Pages, drops April 14th. He had planned to perform a couple of the tunes with his producer, Mike Ciro, but that didn’t pan out. He treated us to a few little tastes with an unmiked guitar. A few tech challenges, but as with all things Benny went with it, eventually singing a capella. He’s a pro!  To get the album, be at The Bitter End for the album release, and for all things Benny go to BennyHarrison.com. I got an advance listen- it’s fab! 

I adore my dear friend. It was such a treat to get lost in time and tales with this talented, resilient, fun, and passionate, pal.

From "Wormit Fishery – The Musical", coming April 1st (Aye, really…), this rollicking, foot-stomping folk tune is for every angler who’s ever:

The Stockie Bashers Song

A sneaky, devious orchestral dramedy cue with prowling pizzicato strings, a low, creepy yet playful bassoon, and bold trumpet and euphonium melodies. A mischievous, wily tomcat slinks through shadows, plotting tricks and dodging trouble. The slow yet insistent movement teases and taunts, building a light hearted but cunning sense of scheming antics.

Jim Vallely Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson 

Sitting down with Emmy and WGA award winner, Jim Vallely was a cozy, comfortable, fun, and funny hang. He even told us a joke joke, on request. It’s one he’s been “testing” as part of a sociological experiment of sorts. Win/win, we got a laugh with a lesson.

Who knew that having a seizure in 6th grade would lead to a career as a TV comedy writer. Jim takes us through and it makes perfect sense. This accountant studying student just happened to sit next to the right guy at an NYU audition, ask his mother the right question on the right day, marry the right girl, move into the right apartment, partner with the right actor/comedian, Jonathan Schmock, become 1/2 of The Funny Boys comedy team, appear on Johnny Carson, co-star on the sitcom, Double Trouble, and then write on The Golden Girls, one of the most successful sitcoms of all time. Brotherly Love, Ladies Man, Action, Two and a Half Men, My Wife and Kids, The John Larriquette Show, Till Death,  Extended Family, as well as Arrested Development, for which he garnered 4 Emmy nominations, and the aforementioned awards, followed.  Jim was an executive producer and co-creator with Will Arnett and Michael Hurwitz of Running Wilde on Fox. There’s more.

Jim tells a great Carl Reiner/Alan Brady story, tells us how the real Kramer, Larry David, Bill Maher, Callie Khouri, Chris Thompson, Don Reo, Mitchell Hurwitz, Will Arnett, and Jay Mohr factor into his story, gives us the before, during, and after of his career milestones, and speaks with great pride and tenderness about the great loves and joys of his life, his talented wife, Maggie, and his successful daughter, Tannis.

We talked about our friends, Taylor Negron and Ron Zimmerman. There is no friend like Jim. His love, devotion, and care for Ron, was a gift he gave all of us who loved him. Jim’s a tender-hearted, special man. And boy, is he funny. A very funny boy, indeed!

Episode 242: Flea Harvey Oswald

Tony Braunagel, Terry Wilson & Snuffy Walden Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson 

What do you get when you Zoom with three amigos from Texas who go back over 50 years? A whole lot of fun, rock stories galore, and a ton of love. The Grammy, Emmy, BMI, and Blues Award Winning trio of Snuffy Walden, Tony Braunagel, and Terry Wilson took us back to the 60s in Houston, playing at the Cellar, a strip club in Houston, Tony and Terry off with Johnny Nash and Snuffy off with Stray Dog to open for Emerson, Lake and Palmer. They all ended up in London, there was Rabbit, Paul Kossoff, Free, Back Street Crawler, Pete Townshend, and Eric Burdon for all of them, at least twice. Some great war stories along the way… there was Michael Ruff, some crashed cars and trashed hotel rooms. 

Tony took us through his time with Rickie Lee Jones, Bonnie Raitt, and The Blues Brothers backup band, leading to be an actor and musician on According to Jim. Snuffy getting Chaka Khan, Donna Summers and then segueing to TV, Thirty Something and The Wonder Years, his first foray in––both Emmy-winning shows that year, leading to the West Wing and his own Emmy. Terry partnering with Teresa James in music and in life, their Grammy nod, his song-writing, producing through his latest for Back Street Crawler’s Terry Slesser which reunited him with Tony and Terry. 

They’ve shared many stages and sessions over the years, but it’s their rock-solid friendship borne in decades-long history that sweetens their song. What a joy to be in their joy. A great time was had by all. Lucky me and you to be a fly on that wall.
