Like many others in the East Village, I played with the FUGS for a very short time. Sitting in for various regualr members etc. It was the time when they were playing at a ratty little theater up a metal staricase on 8th street.

We did a song/dance called The Gobble.

It is something to be experienced!

Phil--The Gobble? One can only imagine--Of course, we (or at least I) want to know everything--

When I was a maladjusted high school punk, there were only two places in the whole state of michigan where you could buy ESP records--I prevailed on the manager of my favorite record store to order "THE FUGS FIRST ALBUM", for me--he got two copies, as was his custom, one for me, and one for the rack, which got him busted--

Okay. But I'll cut out some of the grosser aspects. This was at the time just beofre the first album was released. I think it had already been recorded but not out.

The music was chaotic. Four drummer (sometimes and two guitarist) sometimes, as a goof, we'd played the entire night in just an E-chord. Not key of E. Just the one chord.

Back to The Gobble. On the AM radio, groups where having signature songs. Freddie and the Dreamers urged people to DO THE FREDDIE, etc, Got the picture?

Ed (usually) sometimes Tuli, would rev up the crowd with crapola alongs the lines of "we're going teach you the song sensation that's sweeping the nation, the move that's gonna' groove..." Meantime, the band (me included) would be trying to whip up a frenzy.

"I need a volunteer!!!!!" Ed would shout. And he would pick the pinkest co-ed'iest girl in the house. He would practically carry her to the stage. (The music never pauses.)

Invariably, she would say something along the line of "What do I do?"

Ed would say something like "screaming is appropriate." We'd hit a chord (E-major?) Ed and Tuli (who had come up just behind the girl) would drop to their knees, throw their arms around the girl's waist (remember, they always licked little, light and non-athletic looking girls).

Then with Satanic grins, they would bury thefaces into her. Ed aiming for the front. Tuli for the back. The girl would usually explode but was pinned in place. If they was a boyfriend, he would sometimes assault us. Usually not. But he did turn odd colors. Where does be a sport and being a victim abut? If she came with a bunch of girlfriends, they would go hysterical urging the band on. (Most of the time.)

We'd keep it up longer than the shock value would indicate. Then when you would think we were really getting into it, we'd stop and Ed would lead the girl back to her seat, "give a hand to the little lady. What a sport, Thank you very much. Come on everybody give it up."

He's get back to the stage. And urge everybody to Do The Gobble. Sometimes they did.

The first time I saw this happen, people just stared in disbelief. After the show I made some crack about not all shows being successful. Ed said, "Waddaya talking about. This was a great show. Nobody attacked us."

Mbo, your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to run the FUG-A-Thon. You must first FUG yourself.

Be on the lookout as people enter the Tavern. If they have brought with them any confusion, lack of clarity, under-aologizing, over-apologizing, guilt, or inappropriate self-image of any sort, FUG 'em, at once, and FUG 'em good.

Especially important will be the effective and comradely FUGging of Apologizing Guest, should s/he announce his/her membership name here at the Tavern, at which time I anticipate many many more FUG-ees will crowd in to buy the dear a drink (on whose tab?)

You will have to intuit Spaw's 49 FUGging rules from your awareness of the essence of Spaw. Or seek his FUGging guidance as a last resort.

I'll be back later to help clean up. Or cook. FUG 'em good Me-Beau Me-Boy, FUG 'em all, and start wioth the tall. FUG 'em all, and let God sort it out.

Should you decline this opportunity, it is possible that no one will ever get FUGged again. I know you don't want that.

*Beautiful young woman who walked in asking not to blow up the jello pit walks over to the corner, puts out a hat, and takes a silver trumpet out of the case she was carrying. She sits on the brown paper wrapped package that's strangely rounded on both ends, but that MIGHT slightly resemble a stool, and starts wailing on some blues licks that are full of emotion. Suddenly, she stops....* "Hey! Anyone gonna put some money in the hat??!!!" *When no one responds, she says, "Fine! Be that way. Anyone want to jam with me?" *Will her request be answered? Find out next time someone posts... maybe.*

Oh, thank God.

I've inspected the Jello Pit now and apparently Mbo and Sorcha only fired off a small test-bomblet-- there IS quite a bit of Jello on the walls and ceiling, but the Pit itself is inatact and actually in the bottom of it you can see quite a few things that look like they've been there for some time....

So it's nothing a good strong FUG can't take care of....

And you all can stop in anytime today to reclaim anything from the Pit that may be of interest to you. The balance of its contents are slated for acid bath sanitization later this evening.

The Pit should be back in operation by midnight, General Mudcat Time.

I am sorry I've been gone so long....I went home to get my guitar, because I have this song I really thought would fit.... It is about world peace, and children, and love, but mostly Jello, and how if we could just take some of the love that we have for Jello, and focus it on world peace, then there would be a lot of peace in the world,,,the only thing is that at the end of the song, because all the love has been transferred to world peace, there is none left for Jello....and one lonely child cries.......

Other than a few postings, this has got to be one of the most uninteresting, non-creative, disgusting Tavern threads I've ever seen here. Where's the creativity we've always seen in them? I pity any new person coming in here and reading this as representative of the Mudcat. I KNOW all of you in this thread have more talent than shows up here.

PLEASE, set the date on the threads to several months or one year, put Tavern or Pub in the filter box and go back and read some of them. They showed off the creative genius of the Mducat to its best./RANT OFF

Homeless, no rules, goals, etc. just started last summer by one of our creative genuises, Lonesome EJ, after a particularly rough patch, meant for fun and often used as a place to blow off steam. They were incredibly spontaneous AND full of BS, BUT creative BS, that went well beyond the type of sophomoric one-liners this one displays. One of the very best was the Mudcat Juke Joint, but any and all that come up are worth some reading time. Thanks for asking, Homeless.

I'm now gonna sing a song that I wrote (music only, of course)! Sorcha, this one needs some waltzing fiddle solos...wanna help? It's called "Scotland"

Here in the uplands
The soil is ungrateful;
The fields, red with sorrel,
Are stony and bare.
A few trees, wind-twisted—
Or are they but bushes?—
Stand stubbornly guarding
A home here and there.

Scooped out like a saucer,
The land lies before me;
The waters, once scattered,
Flow orderly now
Through fields where the ghost
Of the marsh and the moorland
Still ride the old marches,
Despising the plough.

The marsh and the moorland
Are not to be banished;
The bracken and heather,
The glory of broom,
Usurp all the balks
And the fields' broken fringes,
And claim from the sower
Their portion of room.

This is my country,
The land that begat me.
These windy spaces
Are surely my own.
And those who here toil
In the sweat of their faces
Are flesh of my flesh,
And bone of my bone.

Hard is the day's task
Scotland, stern Mother—
Wherewith at all times
Thy sons have been faced;
Labour by day,
And scant rest in the gloaming
With Want an attendant,
Not lightly outpaced.

Yet do thy children
Honour and love thee.
Harsh is thy schooling,
Yet great is the gain:
True hearts and strong limbs,
The beauty of faces,
Kissed by the wind
And caressed by the rain.
