Actually C10 is a kind of a Ghood. I don't know why. I guess thats God's business. God is a real prick, but I guess he can be. If he want's to be.

Sir Stonesalot BOOO!

We're the devil!

My question is...do we go to the trouble of cooking up a great meal? Or do we just get pizza?

I would suggest eating out someplace before the party, but the last place I took Marko to eat burned down. Twice.
May 25th, 2005 03:07 PM
Candace Youngblood Why don't you & I combine our cooking talents and make something yummy?
May 25th, 2005 03:21 PM
Sir Stonesalot OK. Cool.

We'll get faced and cook drunk.

We gotta be careful when it comes to choppin' stuff though...no fingers in the salad.

May 25th, 2005 03:33 PM
Candace Youngblood Ooooh! We can use my new food chopping thingy. It will save our fingers. And we could have everything prepared BEFORE we get drunk.

Absolutely! Everyone from Rocks Off is welcome, in fact.
I live about an hour north of Hershey, and the party is the night before the show - that is, Friday Sept 30. I can't guarantee everyone a place to crash - the spare bedroom is reserved for Marko due to his C10 status (blood's thicker than mud!) so if you're coming you'll want to reserve a room at the local motel. But it would be my honor and privilege to meet and greet anyone who wants to come.

There's lots of time between now and then to make all the arrangements. So far we just know that SS and Candace will be whipping up some grub - and they are both WORLD-CLASS cooks!

DEVELOPING!

Yes it does , ESPECIALLY in Omaha , NE !!!!!!

The following C10'ers are already CONFIRMED for the January 2006 Omaha , NE Stones' gig at THE QWEST CENTER :

Nanky

Fleabit

Baby Steelie

More to come ..................W- W- W- What ?!?! .. Oh ! :

" Omaha , NE visit in 1964 wasn't fun for Stones "

" Forty-one years ago, Omaha earned a dubious place in rock music history. In his column on the May 17 More Commentary page, Bob Herbert of the New York Times recently reminded the world of Omaha's crimson letter.

As Rolling Stones leader Mick Jagger commented while the band was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, "Here we are on our best behavior being rewarded for 30 years of bad behavior."

Part of that bad behavior, as it turns out, occurred in Omaha on June 13, 1964.

Herbert's column quoted Keith Richards' account: "We were just sitting around drinking whiskey and Coke out of little cups before we went on, and the cops walked in and said, 'What's in that cup?'

"Richards replied, 'Whiskey, sir.' A cop said, 'You can't drink that here; it's a public place. Throw it down the drain.' Richards said, 'No.' When he looked up, Richards recalled, a loaded pistol was pointed at his head."

As a fan of the band, I recall seeing them in October 1994 in Ames, Iowa. Jagger began to thank fans from the area, including Bellevue, Fremont and Council Bluffs. Clearly, he had not forgotten what happened in Omaha 30 years earlier.

The Rolling Stones came together about two years prior to their concert in Omaha. By the time the Stones arrived in America, Beatlemania already had swept the country.

Frequently, the Stones did not receive the reception they had come to expect in their native England. As former Stones bassist Bill Wyman said, "All we had was British accents" and no hit records.

According to Philip Norman's book, "Symphony for the Devil," Sonny Bono, before Sonny and Cher, was their West Coast promotion man on that first tour, which the Stones later wrote a song about. On June 10 and 11, the band flew to Chicago to record four songs at the legendary Chess Records recording studio. There they met Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon and Buddy Guy.

Depending on which Stones member is speaking, Muddy Waters, Chess Records' biggest star, either helped carry in the band's equipment or was painting the studio ceiling when the band arrived. Considering Waters' disposition and star status, both stories are likely inaccurate.

After recording four songs in Chicago at the legendary Chess Records studio, where they met Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon and Buddy Guy, the band wound around to Omaha. In his autobiography, "Stone Alone," Wyman wrote, "A crowd of about 200 fans greeted us, and police escorted us to the press conference."

Richards said, "We really felt like a sore pimple in Omaha. We did a local TV show before our concert at the Music Hall in the City Auditorium."

Omahan Jim Thibodeaux was their driver during their 1964 stay in Omaha. He told me the band was drinking and belligerent - so much so that he pulled over at the then-Omaha University and threatened to leave them if they didn't behave.

Wyman's 69-year-old memory is foggy on the Omaha show. His autobiography indicates that 1,500 fans showed up. But in his 2002 book, "Rolling With the Stones," where the notorious Omaha show is highlighted, he says, "Omaha was not ready for the Stones - just 650 people turned up at a gig that could accommodate 15,000, and the press was scathing."

Then-World-Herald columnist Robert McMorris wrote, "They clumped with stony-eyed nonchalance down the ramp of a Braniff plane that had carried them. . . .

"The scraggly-haired performers, surrounded by a cordon of Omaha police, waded stoically through squeals of welcome emanating from some 200 youthful greeters. Fans stormed the police barricade to run a hand in unkempt hair or to touch a cheek. Said one girl, 'They're so ugly, they're cute.'"

Wyman went on to quote a second World-Herald writer, Denman Kountze Jr., who wrote: "These characters wear their hair long and uncombed; their clothes are dirty, and they appear to be strangers to a bathtub."

After the show, the band's troubles got worse. The Stones had recorded an appearance on the "Dean Martin Show" that, according to some sources, aired the evening of the Omaha show. Wyman says "Dean Martin, who appeared to be drunk throughout the show, persistently tried to get cheap laughs at our expense."

Martin told his viewing audience, Their hair isn't long, it's just smaller foreheads and higher eyebrows." Martin also cut one of the band's performances to only 45 seconds. There was also a tumbling act on the show giving Martin fodder for the joke that "the tumbler was the father of the Rolling Stones and he'd been trying to kill himself ever since."

The final straw came after the show. According to a former Homer's employee, her mother, a teenager at the time, and friends met up with the band and went back to their hotel: In the early '60s, bands would customarily rent a suite for a "meet-and-greet" with their fans.

The boyfriend - and eventual husband and father - and his friends took offense, and fisticuffs reportedly broke out.

Author Victor Bockris quoted Richards in 1992, "We noticed a distinct lack of crumpet, as we put it in those days. In New York or L.A., you can always find (a date). But when you're in Omaha in 1964 and you're suddenly (lonely), you might as well forget it."

In 1984, Stones biographer Philip Norman quoted Richards as saying, "I've never been hated by so many people I've never met as in Nebraska in the mid-'60s. Everyone looked at you with a look that could kill. You could tell they just wanted to beat the (dickens) out of you."

The Rolling Stones soon will announce the second leg of their current American tour. Hope springs eternal that Omaha will be included for a January-February 2006 date.

It would be poetic if, on the 40th anniversary of the last time they played Nebraska (July 15, 1966), they would return on what some predict, once again, to be their final American tour.

But, as one of their old songs goes, "It may be the last time, I don't know."
