Karen Crapenter's Posthumous Album; MUSIC FOR STALKERS WITH BLOODY MEATCLEAVERS just released.

 Ian Hunter wrote Ships, recorded by Barry Manilow, and Cleveland Rocks, the Drew Carey Show theme. He could perform soft rock, but Karen couldn't perform rock and roll. She was too busy in the bathroom, oh, never mind

 Peter Wolf of J Geils Band offered me his seat next to Ian Hunter so we could take this photo backstage at City Winery, Boston.

Lenny Scoletta of TV 3 helped record my first interview with Ian in the early 2000's.   Karen Carpenter was not there.

Talent-less Karen and Richard attacked Mott the Hoople and the New York Dolls.   I got Johnny Thunders of the Dolls his recording contract in 1983 in Europe, our biggest selling album of the year, and Dolls' lead singer David Johansen (with Mich Jagger in the film Freejack) cornered me at a party about my work with his pal, Thunders.  

Before there was the Carpenters we had Mott the Hoople on Island Records, David Bowie coming along to write their first of many hits.  "Karen continued to struggle with anorexia and bulimia nervosa."  And a bad husband, and a family using her to make money, and she had a vulgar mouth throwing down those better than her, and then throwing up.

 

 This from a woman who ran to the bathroom to stick her fingers down her throat in order to vomit.

No class whatsoever, to put down real musicians while Karen played the drums, poorly.

Heck, her lesbian fans fawning all over her did not make her hip, nor using the F word in Rolling Stone.

Karen's choice of a husband left a lot to be desired, yet she throws down a real rock star who is married to the same woman all these years.

Both Ian and Trudi and other Mott the Hoople members have been very kind to me over the years, while Karen did not think enough about her fans to get some medical help for her poor choices in life.

This is yet another example of Karen's poor choices.  Karen Carpenter exposed as a very mean, malicious woman, jealous of the success of others, while she ran to the bathroom endangering herself because she was miserable, unhappy and condescending.  

 

Like a member of her fan base.

When Crooked Retchard Nixon invites them to the White House, you know the fix is in.  Hey, Karen Carpenter's perhaps the only anor-WRECK-Sick who threw up in the White House bathroom.  Think about it.

Had she lived, the Carpenters, all washed up, would be playing their reunion concert for the failed mayoral candidate Rick Caraviello, on the site of the old TV 3 Medford.  HA HA....good-bye to love?  More like good riddance to bad rubbish.

Oh no!!! They were totally WRONG to diss Mott the Hoople, Ian Hunter, and The NY Dolls . The Carpenters were from CT and i sctually saw them twice a LONG time ago, Lol. Karen had a beautiful voice but had bad taste in recognizing good music in others!!!!. .

 

 

Mars Bonfire

Obviously the Carpenters were brilliant songwriters (a lot of people laugh on Facebook)

Tim McCoy

She listed two of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll bands ever.

 

Paul M. Martin

Lavoris music wash. Ha!

Lavoris is a mouthwash.

Ian Hunter is in his 70's and still touring, and Karen Carpenter is.... do you think he ever cared what she thought of him?
