"She wore and Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polks Dot Bikini

"hooked on phonics ? NO ...Musica !!!!

His Mom..."Freddie" ...corrected me...recently..(still lives in Akron )
I thought 1957..but she says 1960 ...

the
"ultimate"
RAT FUCK
in HBS "Highly Tecnical" 'ingo'

FUCK UR "buddy"

Akron Firestone High School
IS
"totally put together"
with
"Phillips Screwz"
BUT

they did some
"stupid"
THINGS

we'd take big duffle bags
and
an
"Industrial" sized
PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER

for just 
ONE
"example"
of
MANY
we
"swapped"
the
SIGNS
to

EACH AND EVERY WOMEN/MEN's BATHROOMS

( it getz BETTER !!! )

we also removed the
"inside"
doorhandles

not only did
all
batrhoms
"instantly" become
:"UNISEX"

NOBODY COULD GET
OUT
!

 

we removed ALL the inside DOOR HANDLES
so NOBODY could get OUT

they are already
"Embarassed"
because
ALL
the
"occupants"
were
"embarassed"
THAT
they
"obviously"
were
IN
the
WRONG
BATRHOOM
they 
were
MADE
to
"Stay THERE"

by
TWO
"snotty nosed"
little
KIDZ
"Dennis the Menace"
AND
"Trouble looking for a place to"

2 days after I PUBLISHED THIS

47 PRISON inmates

did the same thing

unscrewed the door hinges

and

during the night

just pushed the doors OPEN

and walked OUT

!


Liam's in Paris  now...as he emails..."I'm on the Fibre"
( been in Europe 2 long....? hee hee )

( when Johnny Rotten "aced' his G'friend that's when 2 Virgin's Record Company became...Virgin Records..actually ...slightly b4 that )

it was the King Tut years...early 80's

even tho...Suzanna Hoff's was dating Prince...even HE couldn't come UP w/a 13 the song  so their produced in LA call's Liam ( theme to 21 Jump Street is also Liam...he...does NOT take "credit" for lot's of his songs....uses WC FIeld's es ? "aliases" on MOST that he's done...'incredibly" prolific...!!!!! songwriter...
cranks them out..like "clockwork..BUT....thinks they ARE a "gift' from ...somewhere else ? SO )

so Chryssie Hynes, Joe Walsh...and  the People,,,etc...are ALL from the "neighborhood"
( James Gang album cover...Niles road...who rides motorcycles in the middle of WINTER,,,,,? Ohioans with "studded" TIRES !!!! cept..if you went TOO fast...they skikes would "shoot' outta the tires..and "Pierece" U...nt that you "wanted" to BE..."pierced" !!!! )

his Next door neighbor in Akron WAS ?

Mark Mothersbaugh    ...   Rachael Sweet lived down the block
( but RS album came out on Tuesday  Pat Benotar on Thursday
  Neil Giraldo her husband ..the amazing Gutar player..was from Parma,OH )

OK Here's Liam's Playlist on UT

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Liam+Sternberg&search_type=&aq=f

Here's Mark's....does the name DEVO..."Whip it..whip it good" ?
( we're ALL Devo ? ..ALL came from a simple comment one of them made
  in Liam's basement..that we ARE..."DeEvolving....? NO I wasn't there..Liam told me )

Liam bought a TEAC 3340...
same Deck DaveN/we DID Portasound 1975-77 Boston with...

he and Mark ..just "made" UP...Lotsa Groups...The Waitresses,DEVO, etc..

Emi...sends Richard Branson to AKRON to "sign"....

the "Waitresses", DEVO...do an "Akron Sound" album....
LIam..flies back to England...with him...begind..the Punk Rock era

I was with him in Westlake's Studio...in the Control Room
became "Immediately" obvious..where the "Punk SOund' came from

and WHY ...Liam was such a "hit" as produced....

I "notice'...ALL the EQ's are pushed t the max...I go..."Liam...don't U EQ anything...
he turns to me says..FUCK EQ...no time to mess around wiht it....

that's HOW he got that SOUND and WHY he could


crank OUT so MUCH stuff so fast....
( I could hear Graham Parsons in the other studio
  they were using a former POOL on the lot...as the "echo Chamber" !!!!! )

that's WHERE "Virgin" ...well...long ( "sad" ? ) story ?

OK...so...cut to about a year later...2 Virgins ..becomes ONE "VIrgin" .....

Dennis Leonard and I..in our 3 piece "Money Suits",,,,,
( were making sales calls in London 4 Cromemco )

I made a point of going to visit Liam at his new company....

upstairs...at the curveyest windiest streets in London

at STIFF Records....somewhere I "hope" I still have the T-SHirt he gave me....

Black...with Gold STIFF logo and a "catch line" ( HBS marketing term ? )

that reads just below the capitols S T I F F

reads.....

"IF it ain't STIFF it ain't worth a FUCK" !!!!!

NO...I'm NOT making that UP

Liam did..needless 2 say...his split.....w/Vi9rgin...well
( WELL is..a "Deep subject" ? )

OH..I almost forgot the BEST part....

Immediately when we burst thru the door.....

I just thought it was an "office" so I pen the door w/out knocking....

Ganja smell...."profound"...so....what......BUT....

given the way Dennis and I ...."looked' in out business suits.....

I started breaking down" laughing..AS....it
looked"..smelled like.....

EVERYONE had just swallowed a joint !!!!
( I couldn't help it.....it was SO funny.....)

better yet "description ?

they ALL:...looked JUST LIKE.....

the Cat that swallowed the Canary...JUST before U got home..."

tail still hanging outta it's mouth ?

( when I die THAT WILL ...putta "smile" on my face ? forever.... )

OK so there's NO picture on the right...cause

I've followed UP all those links but no go....

Liam..n those years had a Judean AFRO !!!!

biger than OJ's in Police squad......

then what's even funnier.....

who comes thru the  door...a "petite" little thing....his sister....Leslie ?
( the little one...Ethan...Efron...is a Bio-something Phd ??? Dad was a lawyer )

HER'S is EVEN BIGGER.....

actually gets "pushed" aside by the door frame as she enters....

straight  outta Police Squad.... OJ's.... Afro ?

nowadays...Liam is "sporting" Natty Dreads....Dreadlocks ?
( on VH1 Behind the music ) and here's the "story" behind the song as told to me by Liam )

After the "breakup" Liam was almost commuting using the Ferry...between London and Paris...it WAS...the King Tut Years.....

Susanna Hofs of the Bangles...I beieve was...( maybe just broke UP w/Prince )

their "producer"  is "shy" one tune for their album...calls Liam......

asks "Help Mr. Wizard".....Liam says...well I just wrote some lyrics....
I'll have "tunes" 2 go with it by tomorrow.....

given the era...King Tut..and the Ferry....

Liam was "fascinated by what happens to all the people on the Ferry

when the boat gets hit by a "crosswave" ...If I can remember correctly....

on the left was a Coffee bar...on the right was simply a Bar

but when a wave hit...it caused EVERYONE...to kinda "line up"

and walk....like an Egyptian" ?,.,,,well not really.....to avoid hitting each other

lined up "perfectly" front to back...they'd have to take baby steps to avoid hitting into each other.........EACH time a wave hit  first left...then right....for the "duration" of the crossing.....so Liam ...takes out a pen...and the Lyrics....4

"Walk Like an Egyptian" were Born.......then the next day...the TUNE to go with

SO...what WAS the "Bangles" biggest hit....

the ONE..that even Prince couldn't "cough UP"
( maybe I am making that part UP ? )

U know the rest......
