Never gave a damn about our bad reputation. Neither does Jett. All that has past since, is really a wonderful bit of life for both of us. But she had the guts and the sheer determination to be what she wanted to be. We are both going on sixty now...believe it or not. Life has a funny way of going off on ya when you are not paying attention... I know Lori still does not like it when I perk up whenever a Jett clip comes up on the radio when we are tooling about in her car. She just says...pack it, honey...I know. Get over her, willya??? She also knows I am hers forever, and if given the choice, it would be a life altering event for both of us. Afraid of JJ?? Not hardly. Lori would drag me away with a choke chain....LOL. And I would go with her. But we both know there is still a special place in my heart for one I once knew. JJ was not a rocker yet when I met her. Just a very special little gurl at the time. I saw something in her eyes that would go on and on and on and on. Do I still wanna? Oh yeah............................damnbetcha. Mighty fine looking lady approaching 60. I do wish we had gotten together and had some little Jett kitties. Meowsigh. Cherry bombs away. Meowbombs. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

there is no lori, there never was a jett...... Lol, my friend. Lori is forever. Jett is a dream. A one time only touch...that affected me for my whole life. If you are suggesting that I never knew or touched JJ, you are wrong. We kissed. And such a sweet kiss. She still has this thing about draping her arms around one she loves or cares for. Hard to explain, but she just gives her all to that moment. She always has been ruled by her emotions. I know the difference between the two. Lori I can touch. Jett, I can only dream and wish to. BTW... Here she is Jett 2008 "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

Still frame this cut at .57 or so. That is what I saw years ago. 40 years hence, she still has those eyes. And yes, I guess I am still in love with her. It is hard having two loves in one's life. Thankfully, JJ is far away. SO I can devote my thought to one who is near. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

What came of JJ's first band, the Runaways, is pretty interesting too. Lita Ford went on to some rather heavy rocking. Cheri Curie.. as far as I know, is still alive and kicking her habits. Sandy West passed from lung cancer in about 2005. So many other gurl starz passed through this ring. Micki Steel of the Bangles. Vickie Blue. Read more here if you wish. JJ is the one lone member of that first attempt to break through the woman warrior of rock bit. She did, and remains an icon to this day. The simple fact that I once kissed her is no longer an issue anymore. We kissed, we parted ways, and we never met again. I am sure it did not affect her life that way it did mine. Sad to say, that is the truth. And no...to tell ya the truth, I never have forgotten or gotten over that tennage kiss.

This is the oldest known footage of the Runaways and Jett that I have found to date. Shot during their Japanese tour, about half a year after they were released on Mercury Records. Queens of Noise and more... Interviews and stuff.... "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

Nope, no lori, no jett, and we all know it so...yet it is too small to msatter...... You are getting on about something. Tell me what it is and we can discuss it. I go to sleep with the kitties now.... Shall have to wait until the dawn. Speaking of which, I am a Cullen. I have been for some time now. More years than you have lived. I am afraid I shall be here for more years than this project exists. I am something of an enigma. I do expect you to understand or acknowlege this. My pain is not yours to bear. I am reching the point of no return. Truth for me is lost on you, it seems. I can no longer bear the pain of trying to serve too many masters. i must release this house.

My awakening came about 1975. Lights came on and off without my intervention. A gurl I was seeing stared at me without relenting. She said I was the 'chosen one'. She wholly changed my life. This took a couple of years to hit home. And she was right. I AM the chosen one. For whatever reasons, I have been chosen to take the hit and be something that I do not wish to be. I have been chosen. From the billions of the people on the planet, why ME? I am not the Christ child...his bit has been done. Why have I been chosen, and for what?

Come in, darling, that's enough for tonight. There are other reasons I love the song so much. Like, maybe the fact that it was Wolfman Jack's fav too. There are certain things surrounding the song that I could tell ya, but not today. Save them for one rainy day in kitty town. Like the fact that Brenda wanted to do this in double time. Not the laid back version she was forced to do by the studio execs. She wanted to rock it more. The result was delightful indeed, but one has to wonder what Brenda really wanted to do. When she tears loose, breaking voice and tearing it up, you might have a clue that this ballad was NOT what she was about that day. She had other thingys on her mind. And she was aiming that broken track EXACTLY at the music moguls that day. She was gonna have her way, and damned if she didn't. She was not about to give in, and they were not either. They wanted a top hit and Brenda was the bracket to give it to them. Mind you, this gurl was making about 10K a year....top salary for a gifted voice back then. She was really pissed off when she recorded this song. And it shows. They gave her ONE take, and that was it. The song was released just one day later. Brenda was shocked silly. "uh, the song was not ready..." Yet, it tore up the charts. The sax man, long forgotten his name...after the session, said.... Sorry, hon, I had to do my best with it. I know your heart was not in it,. And how do I know this?? I lived it,k babies. I was there. Sweet, my ass. Sweet.......nothing.

The sax man, long forgotten his name...after the session, said.... I was born on January 18th of the year 1957, my friend. You are off by 10 years. Just a...little. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

Sorry, I just amended the post! Still pretty good memory for 3 years old in a recording studio! I wuz kinda precosious with the buttons.... And as I track through her greatest hits album, I am still struck by the amazing voice. Such a range. She still slays me when she does that little screamy thingy....LOL.

I have so many musical influences in my life that drag me from one reality to another. You should see my youtube home page. Battered about from one generation to another. The search engine does NOT know what to do...LOL. Film classics, old school hits, the latest movies. Crash burn reload. The term is diversified. Ecclectic. Might have misspelled that. Just a rather tragic comedy of life. I can dwell in the depths of old TWZ clips. And then burn forward in time to Hunger Games with Jennifer. Or go back to Aliens with those burning eyes. Not the aliens', the gurl. In the blink of an eye. And I am quite at home in most any genre. Because I have spent the better part of my life perusing and experiencing such things. I want to know all that there is to know. And I am getting closer to that goal. I think I have watched about every bit of footage now that Rod Serling ever produced. And that is a profound lot indeed. That in itself would be an achievement. Rod vastly underestimated himself. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

By most accounts, he was considered an angry old man by some, but loved by many. He shared a lot of things in his life, mostly about his true love, cats. His love for them did not diminish with his age. He remains one of the top users ever to have worked on the Seti project, and can be noted for the most credits ever attained here. I can attest to his reverence for the project. A freaking amen. My own obit...LOL. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

Need to add something like "He always kept his (CPU) cool" |
janneseti Send message Joined: 14 Oct 09 Posts: 14106 Credit: 655,366 RAC: 0 |
I have to add this. Zeroth law of thermodynamics: If two systems are in thermal equilibrium respectively with a third system, they must be in thermal equilibrium with each other. This law helps define the notion of temperature. Hot head vs cool cpu:) |
janneseti Send message Joined: 14 Oct 09 Posts: 14106 Credit: 655,366 RAC: 0 |
The zeroth law of thermodynamics states that if two thermodynamic systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third, then all three are in thermal equilibrium with each other. It took me many years to understand this law. Basicly it means warm gas moves to cold gas. Or a higher state of energy moves to a lower state of energy. Remember steam Engines? Joule, Watt and many others knew that:) |
