Breanna Lungo-Koehn Shilling for McGlynn Crony: SAY IT AIN'T SO!

MAYOR BREANNA LUNGO-KOEHN DOESN'T GET IT ABOUT PUBLIC ACCESS MESS IN MEDFORD

 

PROMOTES A FOR-PROFIT SITE DURING THE CORONAVIRUS.

 

ISN'T THIS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST?

 

 

Mayor asking residents during crisis to send to a for-profit video site run by a Lexington resident - a McGlynn crony. Full disclosure: the Lexington individual has received payments as a teacher that come from access television. A video he shot of former police chief Sacco and Fire Chief Gilberti looked like a silent movie. Our new mayor promised Transparency, Integrity, Unity. Now if the coach is paid from public access monies along with two other teacers - A.G. and L.D, why does his website seem to ask for parents to pay more money when he's already been paid handsomely by the P/E/G monies, unlike other teachers who get paid by the city, ostensibly.

Tony D'Atonio would be GREAT as a City Councilor in Medford. National Politics, not so much!

 My Response to Tony's page:

From someone who advised you on two campaigns and who you hired for your most recent campaign - and you didn't take my good advice: Sadly, Tony, there is no debate = so many mass shootings under Trump, the economic comeback Obama gave us destroyed by Trump's failure to act on time with COVID-19 - but there is no talking to people who embrace Trump's polarization of our country. Microcosm: Stephanie Burke did the same thing to Medford. It isn't about D or R, it is about competence. You're so smart on so many levels, yet you are blinded by a reality TV host not ready-for-prime-time. You may praise my hard work with the Brady list, L'Italien Report, Medford Housing Authority - yet you refuse to "debate" logically my point of view that Trump did not win the election, just as John F. Kennedy stole the election from Nixon, just as Stephanie stole the election from Bob Penta. This goes back to every election, look at the days of Edgar Allan Poe :"One theory dating from 1872 suggests that cooping was the cause of Poe's death, a form of electoral fraud in which citizens were forced to vote for a particular candidate, sometimes leading to violence and even murder.[78]" What is glaring about this MAGA-lomaniac is the parallels to Hitler's use of the power of suggestion, how much money he is making from the presidency from his own personal business - Ivanka, Jared and the two nitwit sons profiting and they point the finger at Biden (only because Biden can beat the creep in a fair election.) There is no discussion, and a debate is pointless, Trump simply lacks the skills to be in the position. Were he an unknown commodity and looking at his background: serial sexual harasser, economic disaster, bankruptcies, use of his non-profit for personal gain, ripping off Trump University students and vendors at his failed casino ? The individual should be in jail, not pardoning criminals that aided and abetted him. You refuse to discuss every single fault of criminal Trump, so how can anyone have a civil conversation when you ignore simple facts? Trump "won" just like Stephanie Muccini-Burke "won" - they didn't. They stole it from an enhanced version of Karl Rove's playbook with dangerous Vladmir Putin installing a president in America. It is sick, and what is sicker is that too many hillbillies voted for him not knowing he was going to screw them and hand the money over to the billionaires and to himself.

Diane writes on Tony's page:


Anthony that is not the truth. We have not hit our peak yet. We are percentage wise per infection better than most but we are far from done. Lots of us wished he was good. He has a lack of leadership skills when doing what is right, his waiting, inability to do the things in a timely manner, where he puts all Americans middle class on the line. People who support him never acknowledge is faults only see what they want. I had hoped he would of been good. He surrounds himself with his family advisors??? fires everyone who doesn't agree with them. Difference of views doesn't mean we wanted incompetency. I would of gladly supported a human being who truly lead, has feelings and emotion for us as country. I still see a man who puts self interest first. Obama has not been in office for 3.5 years. Hmm if you have a job can you keep blaming your predecessor, you at the top need to lead.


 Joe V writes:  diane, brilliant essay. Rich Gillis: what the heck are you talking about...try being honest and crediting Obama for the economy, but not a disease that Trump was aware of on his watch. You gonna blame Jimmy Carter next? You just lost all credibility


Richard Trotta writes on Tony's page'


Tony please check other sources for your information - it is dangerous to use one or two sources for information - we need to be diligent in finding the truth

RIP Access Producer Richie Sarno, former Board Member of BCAT Burlington and good friend

1,585,540 @ 11:00 4-5-2020
With the passing of Johnny Byers on February 5, and Buzzy Linhart on February 13th, Richie is the third of our friends involved with Visual Radio in the world of public access TV.  Tough 2 months.


Rest in Peace, Richie

Richie and I were born the same year - it was an honor to be on his program.  Richie credited me with introducing him to the world of public access television.  Had just reached out to him to be on the show ....God bless you, Richie.

OBITUARY OF RICHARD D SARNO

Richard D. “Richie” Sarno, talented producer at Burlington Cable Access Television, passed away at the Winchester Hospital on Thursday morning, April 2, 2020.  He was 65 years old.

Richie was born in Cambridge.  He was raised and educated in Cambridge.  He was the son of the late Albert and Marjorie Sarno.  Richie was a graduate of New England School of Art & Design located in Boston.  Richie went on to have a career as an Arts Director in the Graphic Design Industry in the magazine publication industry.

Richie settled in Burlington in 1990 where he would raise his family, became very involved in the community and make many friendships.  He was a Town Meeting Member and a longtime member of St. Margaret’s Church in Burlington.

Richie was an active producer at BCAT (Burlington Cable Access Television).   He produced his series, Turntable for 7 years, and hosted over 40 episodes. The series was an eclectic mix of cultural and artist expressions from various artists, authors, and musicians as well as community and regional landmarks and traditions. Richie not only produced his own series, but he produced many specials that were a labor of love for him, most notably his production of "Little Joe Cook” which won 2nd place for “Excellence in a Documentary” in Northeast Regional Alliance for Community Media Annual Video Festival. Richie also served on the BCAT Board of Directors for 4 years between 2013-2016. As much as Richie enjoyed his production work at BCAT, the people and being part of the BCAT community were his favorite of being involved.  He developed strong relationships with other volunteers, producers, staff and boards members and thought of BCAT as a second home.

Richie had many other interests and hobbies.  He was a member of the Malden Industrial Bowling League.  He loved music and karaoke.   Richie was a loving and supportive father to his children Justin and Kelsey.  He was very involved and a hands-on dad when they were growing up.    He had a close relationship with his former wife Betty who remained his dear friend.   Richie’s greatest joy was the birth of his granddaughter Brooklyn.  Nothing made him happier than spending time with her.   He was affectionately called “PapaRoni” by Brooklyn.    Richie will be remembered for his upbeat personality and his love of his family.

Richie was the Loving father of Justin of Dana Point, CA and Kelsey of Malden.  Proud grandfather of Brooklyn.  Brother of Catherine Vergato & her longtime companion Frank Ciulla of Somerville, Fred Johnson & his wife Mary of Hanson and the late Freda Hurney.  Former husband of Elizabeth “Betty” (Ferreira) Sarno of FL, formerly of Burlington. Richie is also survived by many nieces, nephews and friends.    In lieu of flowers memorials in Richie’s name may be made to BCAT, 123 Cambridge St., Burlington, MA 01803. Funeral Services will be private.

Your Editor's Music in over 100,000 homes

1,585,149 @ 2:43 pm Saturday 4-4-2020

We, me and my multiple personalities, have been busy busy busy updating the personal websites.

The list of recordings I am on will expand when I track them all down!  http://joeviglione.com/?page_id=811

As the first album artist signed by the late Patrick Mathe' to Flamingo/Carrere, I became A & R for the prestigious New Rose label.  

After signing Johnny Thunders of the New York Dolls to the label, produced by Jimmy Miller, I became the Stones' producer's exclusive representative during three contracts that went to the end of Jimmy's life in 1994.

Had forgotten that Jimmy produced me in Medford over at Joe Pet's house performing "Radio Heart," a song by Willie "Loco" Alexander with my keyboardist, legendary Lord Manuel - also deceased as of 2013.  Sadly, this is a trend among my rock and roll colleagues.

But that the audio outlives us says much.

Interesting that songs like "Radio Heart" and "Tonight Will Be Insane" never made it to my albums...things I'd forgotten through the tracks of time.   Between the 22,000 pressings in America and probably 80,000 pressings in Europe, my work has appeared on over 100,000 pressed vinyl and CD and cassette releases.  

New Rose Records

Profile:

New Rose Records was created by Patrick Mathé and Louis Thévenon in 1981. They grew into the biggest indie label in Europe, and also promoted numerous smallest labels through their distribution activity. In 1992 the label was sold to Fnac Music, but disappeared early in 1994. After that, Patrick Mathé created Last Call Records, taking most part of the New Rose catalog of artists, and also reissued some records amongst new releases.
For the distributor, please use New Rose.

The Original is STILL the Greatest

1,584,561@ 4:01 am April 3, 2020

Our band was called STILL
1973

This is my put down and good-bye song to the guitarist ...first track on my first album

https://soundcloud.com/joe-viglione/joe-viglione-im-a-star-1-im-a-star?fbclid=IwAR0f53MtDh4uYpu62wjFYfnjcmej7TS_DWsfZU63Bv-qFFpIJuy3AbXSudM


Back in 1973 I was in a trio with a fellow Jack on drums and another Jack on guitar. Two guitar and drum band, sometimes keyboard. 

The fellow  - guitar Jack -  contacted me a couple of years ago to try to resurrect the past but…45 years or so later when I already am rocking out there at my convenience …well…Thank you but we're doing fine without you...


...the interesting thing is that “I’m A Star” was written about him …he would denigrate my songs, my lifestyle…God bless him but his negativity was difficult to navigate. He idolized Neil Young yelling out “I Love You” at a concert at the Music Hall back in the day…anyway, here it is in all its glory, the first track off of my first album on Flamingo/Carrere back in 1978. Enjoy.

I'm a star

'cause I play the guitar

off-key harmonica

...the music will glow...Count don't need no glitter show...

(Side note: He used to steal my riffs (many did...I am a creative kinda guy) ...and he used to chastise me for my wardrobe.)  

I can steal my buddy's songs

he writes the songs that I like

the Kid knows a guy who could write a song

about a galaxy or a dyke....

My Galaxy 7 is a brilliant instrumental

and Madeline the dyke was a take-off on
The Kinks "Lola"

My parting gift to him...calling 'em as I see 'em:

"I'm a rock and roll relic from the 1960s"

(The Kid was the guitarist...interesting that a co-host of mine from Medford on the TV show was also known as The Kid...)


https://soundcloud.com/joe-viglione/joe-viglione-im-a-star-1-im-a-star?fbclid=IwAR0f53MtDh4uYpu62wjFYfnjcmej7TS_DWsfZU63Bv-qFFpIJuy3AbXSudM

that's me live onstage at the Rathskellar
The people from Paris psychedelicized the album...which is pretty awesome.

Flamingo Records distributed by Carrere

I was in good company!  Saxon heavy metal, Phyllis Hyman disco and my punk rock/pop...what a mix!!!!
__________________________________


Carrere was a French record label which specialized in Euro disco and rock music. The record company was sold to Warner Music Group in the early 1990s.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrere_Records

Carrere put out Saxon, a heavy metal favorite

Unbelievable Hazard at Wellington with Creepy people INSIDE the station near the escalator blocking people from getting to the train.

I pay. And then one of the people blocks the entrance

Social distancing?

The MBTA employee oblivious
