Resting (somewhat) comfortably after the required medical cut-and-paste a few days ago. Yep, the Knife went under the knife - again. Those in the know say it went well. I hope so. For my part, I'm doing the physical therapy and watching for any anomalies. I should be more mobile in short order. To all of you at MOG who have lent your support since the unfortunate breakage, you have my eternal gratitude. I'll just need a little more luck and persistence to be back at full strength. Meanwhile, it's back to business.
Whatever you say, Nurse...
To commemorate the resumption of my recovery with a number on the MOG Player, I went for the decadent, slightly depraved, comparatively obscure sounds of the final cut on Their Satanic Majesties Request - the Rolling Stones' ill-fated, quasi-psychedelic attempt at a response, circa 1967, to the Beatles' landmark album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The track is silly, half-ass, and a little clumsy, but I love it. So, seriously and frivolously, "On with the Show."

Was wondering what happened to you, since I hadn't seen you around in a bit. Glad the surgery went well. Keep on keepin' on Mike! Interesting yet odd Stones tune, not heard it before or that album for that matter. Doesn't really sound like them at all.
well, can't say I missed anything not hearing that "tune".
Glad to here all is going as planned on the rehab front.
August: Thanks, buddy! That Stones album is definitely not yer garden variety effort, but there are some more Stones-y-sounding pieces on it, including the ever-rousing if unlikely "2000 Light Years From Home," which is a favorite of mine.
inrumford: C'mon. Don't you get a kick out of Mick sounding like a drunken barker at a strip club? Merci. Now, I've gotta keep getting better.
get well cat
not around much meself
soul searchin....
Much appreciated, Sir Pimp! We should all have the courage to search our souls. I wish you success and insight. And I hope to continue seein' ya aound the ol' MOG-o-Sphere.
be well mike, you shall overcome!
would be cooler if that nurse was the french weather girl you were posting about last week
uhm.......can I get the name of your doctor and quickly I might add!
D'accord, Neil. She came to me in a vision before the anesthesia took hold. Alas, no hospital visit.
Kevin: Who needs a doctor when the RN is so, um, reassuring? I'm sure you could hook up with some naughty nurses in your area at 1-800-HOT-CURE. Or maybe not.
Song sounds like a Monty Python skit savaged by too much alcohol.
Hope you mend quickly Mike.
Then again, if that is the nurse, stay in bed, man! Stay in bed!
Fasted: Very Python-esque - or perhaps spawn of "The Goon Show." Grateful for the encouragement. And, yeah, if Nursey was waiting with her sponge, it would be tough to say "no."
So glad to hear everything went swimmingly and to see you back here!
'1-800-HOT-CURE' ahahahhahahahahhaha
(checking UK equivalents)
yeah Mike, last time I called that number I actually had to go to the doctor.
Hi Mike. Glad to hear things are gioing well. I like the track....every four years or so.
There's a reason Porche mechanics and surgeons wear masks--so they can't be identified in a lineup! Mike, get the hell well and best wishes from beserkly. I kind of dig those two tracks from Satanic Majesties--go figure.
"Song sounds like a Monty Python skit savaged by too much alcohol." I am rolling.
I love how groups that have made it big can get away with this kind of stuff, and yet, if you hear it coming from the murks of the unknown, the band would fail to surface, or at least be laughed at.
Hope your mending is quick and fierce. May the hands of a thousand like nurses as the one pictured above aid you in your trying time.
Anna: Happy to be back! Just be glad I didn't tell them about 1-800-BOT-BABE...
Rawk: Um...sorry. (heh)
dmdm: Every four years? That sounds about right. I'd say the same about "Sing This All Together," although trying to get the whole populace to do anything together is an impossible task. ;-)
BerkeleyBob: Those particular numbers? You and me both. And "2000 Man" and "In Another Land" and especially "Citadel." BTW, a hearty "hi" to the beautiful East Bay.
p-wagz: From your keyboard to God's in-box, man. Gracias.
I am sure your nurse is reminding you to drink your milk and get your vitamins. What a trial that leg break must be brother. Be well!
Oat: It ain't been easy. But, if all goes as planned, expect to see me in NoLa at Carnival time. It was brutal to miss a year after a two-decade run. I won't miss a second one if I can help it.
