.....yeah, right, Frank. If this song isn't about bong water I don't
know what
it is about. Nice little story you cooked up in your bio, Frank, but
totally
unbelievable!
Frank had to preserve his "image" as a "natural weirdo" because
everyone just
figured that he DID DO drugs because of all the craziness that
surrounded him,
the Mothers & the "times" (the late '60's).
Why duz he appear with a marijuana plant (IT IS!) on the back photo of
Waka/Jawaka then?
If this isn't an endorsement of "smoking weed" I don't know what is.
For
someone who chained smoked Winstons most of his life not being able to
handle pot is
preposterous! It made his throat scratchy & gave him a
headache....Give me a
break!!
Frank did everything for the almighty $$$ but had to preserve his image
as an
iconoclast. A weirdo who didn't do drugs....then why all the drug
references
in his songs....."holding your 'joint' while the neighbors
decide"...... "spoon
around my neck for up my nose"......"Oh how they yearn to see a
'bomber' burn", "a case of airplane glue (SNIFF)"..........need more??
'nuff said!!

I've kinda always wondered too, "staying up till 4 am recording...",
"In his own world", "The basement...", (kinda like scoring an 8 ball
and locking down) BUT, if I had all that bitchn gear I'd do the same
thing.
I seriously do think composition/music was his drug.
And my reference to the '8 ball' is only from a guy I knew once....way
back when...For Real!
thanks all,
Y.W. (drinking a rum/coke)

No comercial potential I planned to be a 5 record set to be released
sometime around may and aside making movies about the historical
development of our combo.
I have some interesting tapes recordings that date to 1955 as a matter
of fact, of not only of members of the group but all the people that
would influence the group one way or the other I''ve written a lot of
songs about the guys i knew in high school.
They''re really exeptional freaks, beautiful people. And I have
recorded conversations with these people that i want to include in this
album so that anybody eh...... For instance a song like the Idiot
Bastard Son which talks about Ronny and Kenny, we have a lot of tape of
Ronny and Kenny talking and telling about the things that they do. For
those of you who are not familiar with the song Let''s Make The Water
Turn Black and The Idiot Bastard Son it's a pair of tunes about two
young boys in Ontario California who are from an osark ?? type family
who eh.. They had this habit of burning each others farts with cigarette
lighters and also sneaking upon their parents trying to ignite their
rectal gasses with these little Bunsen burners you know and they...
Kenny at one time was living in a shed in the back of his house with
Moterhead who is now the barritone sax player in our group and eh.. they
didn''t have a toilet there and it was during the winter and it was too
cold to go outside if they wanted to take a leak and they didn''t want
to go in the house because it was like young kids camping out you know
they were living in this tool shed so they had Mason jars out there that
the mother, mrs Williams, used to can with you know peaches and stuff an
so they went to pee in these jars and it became a contest of how many
jars they could fill ... so they kept inviting people over to piss in
the jars untill the had gallons and gallons of jars in this shed and
then they lost interest in the game and they left the piss up there on a
shelf for three months well, one day they looked and there were live
things growing in this piss and swiming around they were white the size
of a fingernail with a black dot in the middle and the grew tails and
were swimming around in this stuff and ....so mr Williams found out
about it because he could smell it because some of the jars didn't have
lits on them and he made Kenny flush them all down to the toilet and
eh... Kenny came over to my house and he told me about this one time on
a tape recording and i thought it was real very interesting and i saved
the tape it''s little things like that we'll expect to include in de no
commercial potential album.
