Grace Wants to Know if Jo Jo Is Gone...13 years ago, darling...

1,365,739 @ 4:46 pm

I met Grace through my ex Don.
She called me when I was at a family gathering...or Don called me and couldn't get me on the landline (no cellphones back in the 1980s...) ...I THINK they were laughing at my "Have a Good Day" message... so Grace said give me the phone, called and left a brutal and blistering message:

LISTEN HERE YOU MOTHERFUCKER, WHEN THOSE PREGNANCY TESTS COME BACK ON MY DAUGHTER, YOU'D BETTER LEAVE TOWN, YOUR BALLS WILL BE MOUNTED ON MY WALL, YOU PRICK YOU, AND YOU TOO...HAVE A GOOD FUCKING DAY...    i could hear her cackling in the background "He'll call me back."  She said it was the "HAVE A NICE DAY message that set her off!   (Smile)

A local band stole my recording and put it out on their lp.  I think the dude that ripped it is dead now too, oh well...

Bette Davis "Mother always said to say something good about the dead.   GOOD!"

The delightfully harassing phone call IS on my classic 1985 cassette/CD  Love Songs Just For You - my deeply homo album!

FAST FORWARD TO TODAY, July 13, 2019
So Grace saw Jo Jo's picture on my Facebook page and asked if she recently passed...no, it was back in 2006...and I remembered the right day in October (this old guy gets confused because my uncle, Jo Jo and Lou Reed are all in that week!)


MY RESPONSE
Joanne would be 67 today, Grace, I introduced her to Don, she fell in love with him. She passed on October 29, 2006 at the age of 54. Just looked it up...yep, I had the right  date...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Jo_Laine Lou Reed died on October 27, 2017 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Reed I introduced Jo Jo to Lou Reed at the Orpheum backstage...and my uncle Gene passed on October 30, 2003. I wrote him a loving song as a tribute "Happy Halloween, it's off to hell for uncle Gene..." He was a twisted you-know-what, I'm sure he enjoyed it.


Me and McGlynn have something in common, we both called some dude Uncle Gene

Only I like Mike McGlynn's uncle Gene a LOT better...sorry I had to have him thrown off of the Medford Housing Authority board of directors, but that was purely business and his nephew's fault, not mine.


I still like McGlynn's old Uncle Gene.


Nice dude.


Can't say the same for the fellow I had to put up with growing up!  HA!...but then again, I've never been a drinker.   He would've g0t along great with Stephanie's husband, and maybe he could have cut a cable TV deal for us at the bar...Gene and Mike and Brian... but I digress...



Happy Halloween
It's off to hell for uncle Gene....

And you voted for that slob?  Why?
