TDB COMMENT

One of Sabotage's finest releases, and one of the clearest soundboard recordings in circulation. This is one of three Japanese soundboards from the Lovesexy tour widely circulating (not including the Osaka soundcheck) and all 3 are of amazing clarity. The audience level throughout is barely audible, which at times makes these shows sound more like rehearsals than the full-blown extravaganza they were. The Japanese Lovesexy shows also lack the passion, religious tone and major enthusiasm of the European and US leg of the tour in 88. This is still an extraordinarily good concert, but it the performance doesn't convince me Prince is high on the message of Lovesexy anymore. The show itself contains numerous changes from the previous 88 tour. The most obvious being the opening 'Erotic City' has been omitted, 'I Wanna Be Your Lover' contains the intro only, 'Head' is reduced to a single verse, 'Blues In C' has been completely dropped, as has the 'Take This Beat / God Is Alive' portion following 'I Wish U Heaven' (which the girls in the band sing). This particular show thankfully contains the piano medley and is proceeded by Prince singing the melody (without lyrics) to 'It Is No Secret What God Can Do'. The piano segment features the brief portion of 'Chopsticks' and 'With You' (both of which Sabotage have bafflingly not listed on the artwork). The accompanying booklet and artwork is stunning and certainly one of Sabotage's best efforts - albeit with some tracks missing on the back cover.

"Can we party tonight?" 

2015-06-07 in The Traders' Den, a free love bizarre bazar, with thewaymouth aka mikedreams on...

-- "I'll jack you off."
-- "What?!"


JUNE 7

1967 -- Dorothy Parker dies. 

American short story writer, poet, & critic, noted for her acid quips (mistress of the verbal hand grenade) & wry comebacks, a legendary figure in the 1920's NY literary scene. Part of the nucleus of the Algonquin Round Table -- "The Vicious Circle", as the members dubbed themselves -- a now-famous informal luncheon club held at New York City's Algonquin Hotel. Her time as drama critic for The New Yorker, was a self-described "Reign of Terror."

When told of the death of the taciturn US President Calvin Coolidge, she is said to have asked, "How can they tell?" Of Katherine Hepburn's performance in a 1934 play, Parker said she "ran the gamut of emotions from A to B." She also is responsible for the couplet "Men seldom make passes / at girls who wear glasses."

She married Alan Campbell and together they moved to Hollywood in 1934. With Campbell and Robert Carson, she wrote the script for the 1937 film A Star is Born, for which they were nominated for an Academy Award for Best Writing-Screenplay. She wrote additional dialogue for The Little Foxes in 1941 and received another Oscar nomination, with Frank Cavett, for 1947's Smash-Up, the Story of a Woman, starring Susan Hayward.

Following Campbell's death, Parker returned to New York City and the Volney residential hotel. In her later years, she would come to denigrate the group that had brought her such early notoriety, the Algonquin Round Table:

    "These were no giants. Think who was writing in those days -- Lardner, Fitzgerald, Faulkner and Hemingway. Those were the real giants. The Round Table was just a lot of people telling jokes and telling each other how good they were. Just a bunch of loudmouths showing off, saving their gags for days, waiting for a chance to spring them... There was no truth in anything they said. It was the terrible day of the wisecrack, so there didn't have to be any truth."

On her 70th birthday she notes: "If I had any decency, I'd be dead. Most of my friends are."

"Resumé" 
(by Dorothy Parker)

"Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren’t lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live."


1958 -- Prince Roger Nelson, aka... His Royal Badness & His Purple Majesty, Skinny Muhhhfukka w/the high voice, The Artist, The Kid, Prince lives.

"May u live 2 see the dawn"
