Sorry folks....I'm sick of helicopters hovering over my neighb and fire crackers all evening into the night.

Hey, my Wednesday 1pm Zoom meeting is now bi-weekly so I get to hear the whole show!

I was coming home last night when about 20 law enforcement vehicles were at a gas station arresting 5 people for suspected theft of fireworks in NH. Plus they were in a reported stolen SUV from a rental car company. Wonder what the fireworks were for?

4th of .. Wrong month?

Yeah I'm sure that's it. did seem like an awful lot of vehicles to detain 5 kids under the age of 19.

Last friday night here in the South End it was nuts with fireworks and firecrackers until 2am. Worse than the ridiculousness around here on a typical 4th july evening.

@PiGuy it's great they caught 'em.. @KOTJ who do you think is lighting 'em off?

KIds. I say buy food not firecrackers. Selfishness. No consideration that folks are nervous and edgy enough with current conditions.

I get it. Folks are pissed.

I was in the hall yesterday and drove home via Boylston to see how many shops were/are boarded up.Protesting is great and I support it but the other stuff is un-needed. Just an opinion.

News outlets are inconsiderate. Having cameras on the ground isn't enough. Need the 6 hour hovering to get that live feed with no consideration for the folks living under them.

Problem is, attention seems to be shifting from what's important to all the fuss about the protests/looting/response, etc. The protests are one thing. What's being protested is what's most important.

I was at Sunday night on common. It's not like '67 and '69.

what do you see as being different?

THe kids are unpacking a lot more than the issue at hand. A LOT OF EGO!!

Going up to cops and taunting them to beat them up and when they didn't call them pussies and cowards. The cops were just there in case things got out of hand.

But it's a mixed crowd. There are many who are outraged by what is happening to people of color. And there are others who see an opportunity to act out on their generalized complaints. But it's not the case that "the protestors" are just bored suburban kids mimicking what they see from Portland or whatever.

THen hurling bottles at them and taunting them to choke and kill them....even throwing bottles at MBTA security guards not even transit police.

I don't see that as related to or advancing the interests of BLM.

@Kevin...exactly. I wish I went to the peaceful prayer protest. Social distancing and calm and prayer.

Also....I was on my bike behind the bike cops leading the march. Mainly b/c I support that 98% of all cops are decent and there was space. There was NO social distancing. Rally leaders were saying if you're not behind the line you're not part of the protest.

It's devisive, arrogant and too many folks videoing constantly which I'm sure is just to social media brag and attentions seek.

@James that's important for everybody to hear. Some of the media is covering it all, good and bad. Others are covering the bad and painting with a broad brush. Are there bad people piggybacking on this? Yes. Does that invalidate everybody out there? No. But intentions covering things are not always pure, on either "side."

We went to the march/protest last summer, down Boylston St. Same deal. A worthwhile intent, somewhat spoiled by those with a different agenda for the day.

I think if "the vid" wasn't going on there would be more people. more older people and more peaceful.

@Kevin yeah that mirrors my view. @James love hearing (well.. reading) your observations - since you're THERE

Listen to my oldies7 show I talk about it.

@james and @jeff but we do have to be cautious about the generation thing here. I definitely have strong views about all this and what I see going on, but I'm also 2X older than most of those out there after 7PM at least, so I mildly resist 'splainin what it's all about. That said, there is probably some or a lot of Instragram/TikTok posing and imitation going on. One sad thing here is how the book might get thrown at some of these kids - there lives could be pretty ruined.

My favorite were these three young punky girls standing in front of a blase bike cop group I cycled with. They held insulting signs up in front of the cops who pretty much chatting with each other and texting. Kids were acting like they were that guy in Tinenamen Square but then I thought...do they even know about that event and that guy in front of a tank

but I'll put the soapbox away, let's remember there is an awesome music show happening

When Nike and others now have george floyd marketing with their "Vid" marketing...it's now trend cycle.

Enjoying Jeffery...I hear im too!!

this cool greenhouse - segall - jeffrey i hear you combination is sublimely awesome!

My final word: Hey kids...the cops standing in front of you are not murderers.

speaking of Soul Jazz records, head over there today with your available credit card $ and buy up 1 or 83 albums; great music and some of it timely

Cool Greenhouse = Love

@james some of those protesting need to listen to the ask from leaders and do what is actually helpful vs what feels good

Yes. We are all on edge...well not me...so consideration should be executed and extended to the innocent. I wore my "Lean not on your own understanding" shirt as my statement.

Since @james mentioned the 60's, anyone have the Epix channel and see their Laurel Canyon show? Never knew all these folks lived near each other or that Peter Tork was a nudist.

we're hoping to catch that Laurel Canyon show soon. There was a good movie called Echo in the Canyon, a little marred by Jakub Dylan's self promotion, but worthwhile. What a music scene, eh?

Good wonder Jeff. Also heard someone play Whitey on The Moon the other Z- Morning.

jeffrey in for the kill with Living for the City. That is the sadness, here we are still all these years later.

Cause a fire in the street Ain't like a fire in the heart - F. Zappa

Frank Zappa even has a scene in the Laurel Canyon show talking about signing Alice Cooper to his label. Can also believe David Crosby saying he had the best pot in the area.

@james, well said via zappa

not sure i have epix.. i'll look for the laurel canyon show..

That's FZ 1966. I think Laurel is on NetFlix

echo in the canyon (movie) on netflix, the laurel canyon show on epix

Only a 2 part show, just came to Epix a couple of days ago and only part one has aired. Amazing cast of characters.

Echo....right....

just finished recording mine so catching your 2nd hour..

don't forget to check out today's show when it's posted here, plus past shows! #teamjeff

http://soundsyrup.com/

and james' shows too http://soundsyrup.com/KOTJ.html

Thx @Kevin! Another program note - today at 5 "Dearly Departed - Solidarity Edition" w/ Judy

Props to Jeff for the James player. Folks love but miss my show texts.

Active Recovery!

smooth segue

A pro move

@bot couldn't resist.. :)

Jeff = real pro

Tacocat song should be followed by one from 'So many dynamos' for us palindrome fans.

the word palindrome needs to be replaced with a real palindrome. like "palinnilap"

lol I'm pretty sure I'm the first person in boston (and maybe in the US) to play U2...The Virgin Prunes brought by a demo tape of out of control...they only had one somebody made a copy while I was doing the interview and we played it before they left

they actually kept track of it...years later U2 management called and asked us to erase it...which we did...it's on boy deluxe

@Peter wow ! Does Carter Alan know about this.. ?

I even believe that Culture Club was play with regularity on the 'Z back in the early '80s?

I doubt it...Oedipus claims he was the first so I don't think he'd be interested in hearing that...U2 and the VP were once part of the same group...the edge was a brother of one of the VPs...Gavin Friday ended up working for U2 and still does

don't remember Culture Club on the Z but maybe that's cuz I'm 127 years old; could have been a CC extended dance mix sandwiched between a Killing Joke dance mix and Eyeless in Gaza ;)

yes...culture club. as well as duran duran, frankie goes to hollywood and prince...nobody had ever heard of any of them at the time.

well there you go

guess I was too into the hardcore at the time to notice SEE, SEE THROUGH THEIR LIES

@PeterC "U2 and the VP were once part of the same group" make sense, Bono recently posted his Quarentine Top 50 - a Gavin Friday song was on it.

@Kevin Sun Mahshene is the song you told me about ! Bought it on Bandcamp playing from AIFF file, not mp3

they sound like they are straight out of 1995 with an epic Brit Pop sound

they released an album early in 2019 but then it got pulled almost immediately; don't know what happened there; but I bought it before it disappeared, will get you the FLACs soon

it's a good album, several strong songs like this one

@JeffB One of the most memorable shows I've see was gavin friday solo at TTs...everybody was seated at 4 person round tables with tablecloths and candles...at TTs!

saw The Octopus Project open for Trail of the Dead one time; they were pretty good, more fun live; you know, back when we had "concerts" and people were shorter

that's another thing when this is all over, where are we gonna see shows?? great scotts is gone (probably), middle east could be, not to mention all the venues have been lost previously

Lyons group will have a monopoly. All that'll be left are Boston Music Hall and House of Blues.

(Hope not)

Good Syrup today, Jeff. I thank you for expressing your views.

thx @Simon i know we all have views.. my spiel about economic suppression is from Richard Rothstein, he wrote a book "The Color of Money". He's on the interview circuit (NPR, BBC, and others) and has used my studio several time to do those live interviews. Learned a lot listening to him.

Promise next week will be normal and not so serious.. ( unless some other catastrophic event shakes us all to the core again.. )

Your commentary put a good perspective on things. Yes, let's hope for a normal week, whatever that is these days.

Heard your whole show, loved it, especially the 4chan song. Regarding the demise of clubs: I believe that Once Club will survive. Every time they do a fund raiser, at least $10,000 comes in from their supporters.

great job today jeff awesome show

thx all !
