CFR Saturday
Tonight on CFR Steve Isaacs (The Panic Channel) and John Claydon (Doheny) will be joining Billy and I for a little in studio acoustic stylings. Steve I and I will be doing an acoustic version of our song, Outsider. I have missed the last couple of weeks down at the station and I am looking forward to going back home to Indie 103.1. The show will be re-broadcasted on the Panic Channel Radio for those of you who cannot listen live.
1. If you could get a call from anyone tomorrow for a guest appearance, who would it be?
Madchen Amick!
2. When you play a cover song how do you play the guitar solo, is it a loose interpretation or do you play it as written?
It depends. Some songs, like Zeppelin, I try to stay fairly true in a loose kind of way, yet in other cases, such as The Clash or Sabbath or T. Rex, I pretty much just make it up as I go along.
3. Could you ever evolve that section (She Won't Last - outro) into it's own song, because it almost seems like it would do it more justice that way?
Dude, we are right there with you! Thinking the same thing!
4. Where did you get your patent leather Ponys?
They were a gift, so I don't know, but they for sure are my favorite shoes.
5. I was wondering if you know anything about a book that is coming out next month call whores - an oral biography of Jane's addiction? The description says you made some comments for the book with Perry. Is that true? If so have you seen it completed yet?
I haven't seen anything on this yet, but it was done by the guy who did the Spin article on Jane's a while back. My comments were pretty much only for the article so I have no idea what the rest of the book says or how it came out.

If TPC tours,will it only be in clubs? Just wondering.
Posted by: Adriana at March 5, 2005 10:52 AM
Dave-on Monday can you make the heading say "Happy Birthday Boots!" (?) It would be the 7th of March, and probably the only present Ill get. Enough...this wasnt supposed to be a sob story! I have friends....I swear! You could make it say "Boots sucks!" but Id prefer the 1st if possible. Lots of love, hope you get to read this post!

Anyways, I really like the blog and want to thank Dave for it. Done! Be fine. (:

Dave,
Do you think it's best to slow play high pocker pairs, raise moderately preflop or raise heavily preflop?
Thanks,
Rich

Dave,
My father comitted suicide last night. I'm at a loss for, well, anything....... I know you've gone through similar experiences (but totally different). Advice? I know you don't have answers. They don't train you for this shit............
Posted by: John at March 5, 2005 12:29 PM
Wow John im sorry to hear that,
Stay strong......................
Posted by: DAVE gEFOW at March 5, 2005 12:30 PM
OMG, John... I'm SO sorry to hear about your father. It probably hasn't even sunk in yet. I don't know what to say, only that you have my deepest condolences, and that you have friends here.
-Denise
Posted by: Denise at March 5, 2005 12:51 PM
John,
How awful. I am really sorry.
There are a lot of great people on here who will give you support if that is what you need.
Thinking of you..
Posted by: Tara at March 5, 2005 12:54 PM
John,
Remember, its okay to grieve, get pissed, get sad, and make sure you get it out. So so sorry to hear this. Take care of yourself.

Dave,
Do you like barbeque? If so, do you prefer the north-eastern shredded pork and vinegar style, or the good ol' Texas ribs with thick, mesquite bbq sauce?
Just wondering.

sending love John x
Posted by: Sandy B at March 5, 2005 01:22 PM
John, I tried to send you email, but it didn't recognize your address. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Please, find someone, anyone to talk to, sometimes, strangers are better in situations like this, because they can offer objective help. Everyone here at 6767 has experienced some kind of loss, so we can feel part of what you must be going through.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. And, one more thing. It's ok to be mad.
love,
jezebel
Posted by: jezebel at March 5, 2005 01:23 PM
John, just stay strong and reap every positive outcome you can muster from this situation when you are ready. I have a dear friend who lost his father to suicide as well, and he has been an inspiration to me on how to handle any situation. Try not to focus on the questions there are no answers to.
I send you all the most positive energy you can absorb.
We are all here for you all the time!

Hey Dave.
John- I'm sorry to hear that. Like what everyone said.. find someone, and dont keep things inside. Everyone's been through either your kind of tragedy or some other painful situation. But we all go through the samethings and we all pull through them together. Stay strong.
Have a nice dayy.
Posted by: ..::Jess::.. at March 5, 2005 01:41 PM
High dave........were u born this tre uber cool? or who was your role model/inspiration that made u the man u are 2day?
Posted by: Uncle Creepy at March 5, 2005 01:52 PM
John, I'm very sorry to hear the news of your father's death. My brother committed suicide 15 years ago, and it still hurts, It will get easier to deal with the sadness everytime you think of him. Just remember he wasn't in his right mind at the time he hit bottom...I can just deal with it better that way. Suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems. John if you need to talk..just email me. God Bless you and your family.
Posted by: Colleen at March 5, 2005 02:19 PM
John - my sincerest condolences to you.
My grandmother committed suicide a few years ago, so I know a bit about how you feel. So many questions come from it, with very little concrete answers.
All my love to you. Hang in there.
Posted by: mortisha8 at March 5, 2005 03:07 PM
John, I'm so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine what you are going through. :( Hang in there, ok?
Eileen~Don't actually know you, but it is just a game. Regardless of your opinion on the silliness of it, the people here are just having a good time. Even Dave appreciates the fun in it. Geez.
Posted by: Jenniffer at March 5, 2005 03:25 PM
hey, John
Sorry to hear that. But you´re not alone. We are here to help you out... just by being here.
A lot of people here have gone thru personal tragedies and even those who haven´t... I bet they´re still willing to listen to you and give you as much support as possible. stay strong, hang in there, you´ll get thru.
peace

Dave~brilliant CFR! I posted about it over on Billy's blog. Really great show! Good to have you back on there bantering with Billy. Loads of love and hugs Lisa xxxx
Posted by: ylais at March 5, 2005 08:38 PM
Holy shit Creepy, that was pretty twisted...I can really appreciate that...Im not sure what it was...but I liked it...even the twisted serenity prayer. Bongs up, boot n down!
To John-hang in there, although your thoughts and emotions will not always be positive it may help to surround yourself with positive influences to balance out a negative occurence forced upon you. "Where we are is a state of mind...." I truly believe that. I was a counselor for two years...Im not gonna lie to ya...I dont have the solution...the future is yours and can be as positive as you make it. Do your best to cope, and time has ways to mend the meanest of wounds if your willing to use that time in a positive manner. Lots of love, sorry about the situation. If your new to this site, there are lots of good people here to meet. Im sure Uncle Creepy could help some too! Your 6767 family has already offered some good coping skills/suggestions.
Uncle Creepy-would you consider yourself part of "Be Good Family"?
Sincerly,
Mister Boots

dave,
saw something on rhcp where they were talking about how hard it was seeing frusciante go through his problems, and then saw flea talking about how hard it was seeing kiedis go through his stuff. so my question, did you fall out w/ perk during your problems or do you think he was in a similar situation (hard to see you go through it all)?
Posted by: poor willie brown at March 5, 2005 09:01 PM
THANK YOU for the kind words you guys. man, i went out last night to this comedy club in pittsburgh to see artie lange(from howard stern show) and it was really funny. i had kind of a problem with SOME of the crowd, there was a big brawl on the floor in front of the stage(i watched from the balcony). i have no problem with drinking and having a good time but last night people were way out of control throwing shit and just being obnoxious. all that aside, i have much fun and artie was great.
i am a big howard fan to answer that question from yesterday. those guys bring a smile to my face every morning when i'm pissy and tired on my way to work. anyway.... thanks again i really appreciate it.
Posted by: sonicdeath at March 5, 2005 09:09 PM
whoa john i'm so sorry, i hadn't read your post until after my last one. i have some experience with this. please email me if you'd like to talk man. djpresutti@hotmail.com i'm really sorry.
Posted by: sonicdeath at March 5, 2005 09:11 PM
hey boots.
to answer your question, i lost a considerable amount of music! the most sentimental was my Sonic Youth 'Diry' CD which i bought in N. Carolina(outer banks) like 10 years ago and that album became one of my all time fave's. i'm really really bummed about losing that one. and my KISS box set, damn! plus many others, and about half of my DVD collection, digital camera, etc.... on and on. once i figure out all that was lost i will give ya some titles to see if you might have them. THANKS.

John, my thoughts are with you and your family in this time of sorrow. have a strong heart in the knowledge that you have the support of caring people here!

Hey,
Dave In the early chapters in your book you mentioned that you made a concious decision to relapse because of the "emotional baggage" you carried. I was also a user of drugs and alcohol a few years back and in the last couple of years i've carried a lot this "emotional baggage" wich has blocked me from being me and at times made me heaps self concious.
What things did you do to clear away the "emotional baggage"?.
Your life seems to be in a wonderful place today and your success is very inspiring.
lots of cheers,
Posted by: Nick at March 6, 2005 02:28 AM
yes bootsy it was twisted.......i actually astral projected out of my body and had a vision.......when i came to.....thats what spilled out on paper.....i feel reborn....i no longer feel shame for being a junkie.......clean since new yrz eve....and i have nothing but love for everyone......even those i hated b4......dave is my inspiration....if he can do it......i can do it........im not pretty like dave is........but i do crave attn......the community is my stand up audience......

Posted by: piratemurray at March 6, 2005 03:58 AM
Yes trully is shit,.

But little do people know its their own songs.
Wow they suck ass.
OHM being a diamond in the ruff.thanks to Davey Boy.
My deepest love for the John here though.
and my deepest heart felt sympathys.
Posted by: tom apple at March 6, 2005 06:33 AM
Firstly...just listening to this days camp freddy show... awesome. I loved the acoustic version of TPC song... this "outsider" thing?... sorry... can't remember.
Great show!!!
and secondly... for the sake of what happened to John, I got my hands crossed. You got all my prayers today. Had couple of good friends who committed suicide but can't even imagine what's it like to lose dad...
Still laughing listening to CFR show... unbelieveble... rock on bros!

Pirate Murray: I have a strong admiration for J.Fs new albums. Ive hinted the same question to Dave several times but been intimidated to cause a scene because so many idiots are hostile John vs Dave people. He's like a Dylan, a Cobain, a Neil Young, or a Lou Reed! Definatly important to that scale all though so many dont know yet!
Sonic Death: The only Sonic Youth album I have left is "NY City Flowers" from a couple years back. Mine got gainked too at some point! Would you like me to mail a copy? Name some more stuff, and Ill do my best. Address? Or do I already have it? Thanks for answering my question, sometimes Dave takes more time for them than other 6767ers, maybe what I type is dumb?
Uncle Creepy: Wanna do some bass lines for Epic Poor Portion (what I mailed ya)album? I have a solo project ready to record too. Id be happy to work with ya. Also Id like to present you with three stars for your sobriety time, my first week at this site someone presented me with stars for time and it really made me feel good about myself and everyone here! Have you tried a meeting yet?
These are yours

Acoustic stuff was great - hope there is some uh dat on the TPC disc.

John,
Still thinking of you. If you feel up to it, check in and let us know how you are doing. I am moved by the overwhelming amount of support on here everyone!!!
Dave,
Are you watching the new America's Next Top Model? What do you think so far?

Dave commenting on Francis the Mute on CFR: "that first song makes you feel cross-eyed in hell"
You're hilarious!
When did you start becoming Howard Stern???
Posted by: Kevin at March 6, 2005 09:31 AM
Good morning Dave, good morning family...
Didn't get to hear but the last half hour of Camp Freddy, but I do remember the first time I heard Outsider, and Dave commenting that he was afraid he would hear the sound of ice clinking in glasses, member Dave?
I loved those two young men that were playing Ziggy Stardust, hey, you guys should jam with them on CFR next week!!
okay, I am going to go for it again, even though I am feeling a little sensitive, cause you haven't answered my midweek questions, they must have been not so great
here goes
1. What have you been Tivo-ing while spending all this time in the studio?
2. Do you and Carmen have shows you like to watch together?
3. You have said before that Steve Isaacs writes all the lyrics for The Panic Channel, do you ever help him along, you have quite a gift for words yourself?
4. Any new video games caught your interest, your mate Billy is quite the fan of KillZone?
5. Did you catch your wife's performance on Austrailian VMAs, I remember watching her at the Key Club, she kept her focus on YOU!! I want a love like that!!!
love to you and yours from me and mine
