On that day in 1975 - 25 July

A fairly short entry from my non-daily journal/commonplace book; well, short if I don't transcribe all the full lyrics that I wrote out! I had to google the first set as I did not remember the song ("Anyway"), and found that someone had blogged about it, even more enthusiastically than I did. See: http://www.zentastic.com/blog/2001/09/27/anyway-they-say-she-comes-on-a-pale-horse-but-im-sure-i-hear-a-train-oh-boy-i-dont-even-feel-no-pain/

Anyway, (sorry!), I shall not bore you with the complete lyrics, nor the mooning/musing over Robert, whose name appears all over the margins - jeez! And here's yet another Ella (Fitzgerald) reference!

25 July 1975

I love that song. But I could never learn all the words. I'm gonna figure out how to play it though. Wish I could have another creative period like I did in May-June.

All of a sudden I realized how great The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is. Keep playing it. Ondi adores it. Susan scratched it! Gave herself away yesterday: "Did you play side two?"

Had a dream last night that I called Dan to ask about Gentle Giant (as I really did last night - by the way, it was postponed!), and he said he'd go but only if Ella Fitzgerald went! And I said I'd ask her. Bizarre.

I'll call Jade tomorrow. Since G.G. is postponed, I have to go to the Sweet! [I never did see Gentle Giant - oh well! I had a very limited budget those days so couldn't go to half the shows I wanted to, until I figured out how to get in free...]

Got my hair cut yesterday. Looks the same.Wait till I get a Patti Quatro!!! [Suzi Quatro's sister was in Fanny and I had torn out a photo of her from Creem magazine. I never did find a hairdresser who could make me look as wild as her though.]

That's Patti Quatro on the right. Funnily enough, I did obtain that hairdo, with bleached blond hair, when I sang with the HeeShees many years later!

Here I am with the HeeShees in the summer of 1984. I think I outdid Patti Quatro! Photo by Gary Leonard

When Dan saw my hair Toni goes, "It's a FEMALE, Dan!" [No idea what this means...] Dan hates pools. He asked me what I'd been up to; he went to Sequoia. He teased me about Todd. Told him about "Practically 17". [Also, no idea!] Remember: Ryan's Hope and The People Next Door and Teenage Zombies! [Well, how could one ever forget Teenage Zombies?!]
