I Have Discovered . . .

I am hoping to get back to writing some short stories for the blog, but currently, and into the immediate future, music will be the focus. As I continue to grow old, I have discovered that part of my waking life is time spent strolling down memory lane, comparing memories to current situations and drawing comparisons. I remember when the Molly Hatchet album, “No Guts, No Glory” was released. I…

Molly Hatchet: With their distinctive hard-driving Southern rock style and successful debut in 1978, they contributed significantly to the genre's evolution.

This Week’s Horrible-Scopes

It’s time for this week’s Horrible-Scopes! So for those of you that know your Astrological Signs, cool! If not, just pick one, roll a D12, or just make it up as you go along. It really doesn’t matter. Better yet! Check out “Heart of the Game, Fredonia” and see if they can sell you those D12’s with the symbols on them. Tell them “Shujin Tribble” sentcha. And “Hail, Hail, Fredonia!” Home of the Blue Devil!

Under the gun and ready to rock. Let’s have a little fun with the Potpourri category for 500 please, LeVar Burton. YES! We’re salty about it! LeVar SHOULD have been selected as the permanent replacement host on Jeopardy. But since he’s not… let’s see what this category has for you all.  

Aries 

You’ve got some ‘splainin’ to do with your musical taste! You get your toes tappin’ to “Bugle Call Rag” as performed by Doc Severinsen & The Tonight Show Band in 1991… but the song was originally recorded in 1922! How the HELL do you like Big Band Jazz this much and STILL have Ariana Grande in that same playlist!? This Week… Add some Molly Hatchet to your musical collection. It’ll be fun for just the album artwork alone. 

Taurus 

The Devil’s come looking for you while you were out gassing up your car. Something about collecting on a promise from when you were in high school - something about playing the bass in a band and getting respect! He looked pretty disappointed, too. So This Week… Seeing as how it’s a natural law of the Universe that Bass Players never get respected, it’s likely that The Devil owes YOU some recompense. Either that or he’s going to talk to you about your car’s extended warranty.  

Gemini  

Speaking of school, how about your checkered history with the principal at your high school? He was a nice enough person, always well spoken, always supported you kids, and made it to at least ONE event for every group he could every year. And what did you do? You organized a Prank on him. How you managed to build a giant Christmas Present Box around his car is still a mystery to this day - and it’s still spoken about as a Revered Legend to this day. So This Week… He knew it was you - all those security cameras didn’t lie. But he hid the information from the authorities just so you wouldn’t get in trouble. Remember that as you plan for your next April Fool’s Day Prank.   

Cancer Moon-Child 

What do you get when you mix a Fender Rhodes, a Fender Precision Bass, a Fender Stratocaster, and a single, repeated, 8-Bar Riff? You get FUNK! You get so dirty, naughty, grindy FUNK to listen to. But you don’t want to just listen, you want to play, don’t you? Yeah, we know how much you miss writing music and playing in that just-starting-out band with the funky bass player and the trumpet wacko. Why did you leave the band just as they were getting big? We’re really trying to understand your motivations there. So This Week… Look up the biggest Zydeco Bands of the Early 21st Century and feel sorry for yourself at how high they’re on that list.  

Leo 

Time to plan your next vacation - but with a twist. Sure, it’s fun to take a flight from New York City’s Laguardia Airport to England’s Gatwick Airport, but let’s do something more fun… TAKE A CRUISE! Sure, instead of an 8 hour trip it’ll be more like a week, one way… but HEY! You can get up all you want, eat when you want to, use a private bathroom, and take a swim mid-trip! So This Week… Consider splurging for your trip for once! And remember, WIFI plans start at only $18 per day. So plan your trip on the Queen Mary 2 NOW! 

Virgo 

Your music collection is for crap. NO, SERIOUSLY! Just because it’s complete doesn’t mean it’s good. Sure, you’ve got all EIGHTEEN albums put out by That One Artist, but he’s only ever had like 8 Top-40 Singles, and four of them were all from the FIRST album. Buying all those records didn’t support them - all that money went to the record companies. So This Week… He’s on social Media. Look him up and send him a message of thanks for the music you enjoyed. Maybe he’ll write a song just for you too!    

Libra

You’re going to be headed out with your friends and have a GREAT time doing something you’ve always wanted to try doing; Prix Fixe! Yes, we talked about this on a previous Horrible-Scope, and that’s where you got the idea from. Let’s get you ready to finally take advantage of this fun culinary adventure, even if the cost will be an indulgence. So This Week… Spend a little money on a properly fitted suit so you look classy for this dinner. It’ll be worth it.    

Scorpio 

One of the things you miss is getting pecans, scooped from under a heat lamp, and poured into a wax-paper bag! Munching them on the drive home and having almost none left once you get there was so much fun for you… but now you’ve finally learned you have an allergy to them. Truly… TRULY a sad thing to know. BUT, it finally explains why it got harder and harder to eat them as the drive progressed. So This Week… Invest in some antihistamines so you can enjoy long drives with warm, succulent nuts in your mouth again. (*PAUSE*) We know what you’re thinking! You should be ashamed of yourselves!

Sagittarius 

No one else knows about this, but WE do, and we’re spilling the beans. Your favorite superhero is… Wonder Woman! And not just ANY Wonder Woman, but the first live-action version with Cathy Lee Crosby and Ricardo Montalban. You think no-one remembers that clunker, but WE do! And, really, we have no idea WHY you like that one; though Ricardo Mantalban just makes everything an Instant WIN in our book. So This Week… You don’t want us to talk about your Secret Bondage Fetish, DO you? Ok. We won’t. 

Capricorn 

We know you enjoy doing cross-mixing websites, but you’re really pushing your luck. Mix-n-Matching PokeMon into weird abominations is fun for kicks, but you’re trying to turn them into personalized CCG cards and sneaking them into overnight games, trying to beat all the coffee-guzzling young adults… and heaven help us, you’ve actually managed to do it a few times! So This Week… Remember, “Exodia” is NOT a PokeMon card character! STOP SCREWING WITH THE KIDDIES! You gunna get some Bad Ju-Ju that way.

Aquarius 

We’re not going to Tech Shame you here, but we kinda have to. Just because you have a Hand-Held Ham Radio, a “Where’s The International Space Station” tracking app on your phone, and a big-open sky doesn’t mean you can take over the ISS’ computers and hold them hostage! Your dreams of being an Evil Mad Scientist are just not going to manifest… because the ISS Laptops are running a specialized version of Debian Linux - so you’re screwed since you can’t hack those machines. So This Week… Find some eMachines from 1998 and load ‘em up with Mandriva Linux, or at least TRY to. THAT’LL make you mad REAL fast!

Pisces  

It’s That Time Again! It’s time for you to start getting ready for the summer - meaning dieting so you fit into your swimsuit again. NO, we’re not Body Shaming you for your size! We’re shaming you for refusing to buy a new swimsuit! Look, that suit’s survived Hurricane Gloria, fer crying out loud! It’s time to just retire it and stop patching it everytime it splits a seam. So This Week… If you’re not gunna buy a new suit, then make some proper cut offs. They’re ALWAYS in fashion.

And THOSE are your Horrible-Scopes for this week! Remember if you liked what you got, we’re obviously not working hard enough at these. BUT! If you want a better or nastier one for your own sign or someone else’s, all you need to do to bribe me is just Let Me Know - or check out the Ko-Fi page ( https://ko-fi.com/icarusthelunarguard )! These will be posted online at the end of each week via Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Discord, and BLUESKY.

Storia Di Musica #197 - Molly Hatchet, Molly Hatchet, 1978

La storia di musica di oggi non si sposta dalla Florida. Anzi, non si sposta nemmeno da Jacksonville, la città dei Lynyrd Skynyrd della scorsa settimana. Perchè quando nei primi anni ‘70 Dave Hlubek, chitarrista, voleva fondare una band, ai leggendari concittadini si voleva ispirare. Si aggregano a lui Danny Joe Brown, cantante dalla voce impostata e caratteristica, le due chitarre di Steve Holland e Duane Roland, per una nuova versione della linea a tre chitarre che fece la fortuna dei Lynyrd, una delle sezioni ritmiche più affiatate e toste del rock americano, Banner Thomas al basso e la grande tecnica di Bruce Crump alla batteria. Come nome scelgono Molly Hatchet, da quello di una leggendaria prostituta che durante la Guerra Civile decapitava i suoi clienti più rudi, e il cui fantasma a volte si ripresenta nelle spettrali serate invernali delle paludi di quei posti. L’inizio è complicato, e nonostante una incessante e proficua carriera dal vivo nei club della contea, dovranno passare ben 5 anni prima che vengano notati da una casa discografica. La Epic però gli offre la possibilità di registrare ai famosi studi di registrazione The Sound Pit di Atlanta con la supervisione di Tom Werman, all’epoca uno dei più grandi produttori del rock americano, che lavorerà con alcuni dei più grandi gruppi del rock a stelle e strisce (Ted Nugent, Cheap Trick, Blue Öyster Cult, Mother's Finest, Mötley Crüe). Il disco è registrato proprio durante i mesi della grande emozione per l’incidente aereo dei Lynyrd, con il loro disco appena uscito, Street Survivors, in testa alle classifiche. Molly Hatchet appare nei negozi di dischi il 1 settembre 1978: è un mix di hard rock boogie (marchio di fabbrica di Werman) spinto dal muro sonoro delle tre chitarre e dalla voce, un po’ roca e caratteristica, di Danny Joe Brown. In scaletta 9 brani, scritti insieme dalla band, brani avvolgenti, caldi, che li caratterizzano subito rispetto ad altri gruppi per la loro aria scanzonata e un po’ strafottente. Bounty Hunter è la canzone che apre il disco e mette in chiaro l’energica vena musicale del gruppo; diventerà uno dei momenti più attesi dai fan nei loro concerti dal vivo; Gator Country, altro grande classico, è l’apoteosi del loro suono a tre chitarre, una carrellata di citazioni dei più grandi artisti del Southern (dai Lynyrd a Charlie Daniels, dai fratelli Allman alla Marshall Tucker Band). Big Apple è un rock blues scanzonato che nel testo prende in giro New York ed i suoi abitanti, in pieno stile orgoglio sudista. The Creeper è l’archetipo del classico slow hard rock del genere, di cui i Molly Hatchet diventeranno dei paladini. The Price You Pay è leggera e frizzante, I’ll Be Running è una grande prova della sezione ritmica Thomas/Crump, Cheatin’ Woman è un altro slow rock sofferto che sa di delusione ai banconi dei bar e di malinconia sudista. Trust Your Old Friend è il brano che chiude il disco, un puro boogie rock veloce e elettrico. Ma il grande brano è un altro:  ma la riproposizione Dreams di Greg Allman, anche con influenze della cover che ne fece del brano Buddy Guy nel 1970 nel suo disco Them Changes, qui diviene Dreams I’ll Never See ed è un vero capolavoro, con i toni più soft e sofisticati della parte introduttiva che quasi stridono con la forza vigorosa della cavalcata finale, che si lega alla potenza e al carattere degli altri brani. Il disco venderà oltre un milione di copie, i brani della band diventeranno tra i preferiti delle Adult Oriented Rock Radio americane e inizierà un periodo d’oro per la band, che inizierà tournée frenetiche da oltre 250 concerti all’anno. Alla mitologia del disco e della band concorreranno anche le copertine: la prima, leggendaria, prende in prestito The Death Dealer del mitico disegnatore Frank Frazetta, uno dei suoi capolavori, il quale diventerà simbolo di uno dei corpi speciali dell’esercito americano e uno dei dipinti di fumettisti più pagati di tutti i tempi, valendo un originale oltre il milione di dollari. I Molly Hatchet utilizzeranno altri capolavori di Frazetta per il successivi dischi. Flirtin’ With Disaster (1979, in copertina Dark Kingdom), disco della consacrazione con brani mito come la spettacolare Boogie No More, Whiskey Man, It’s All Over Now. Nel 1980 Danny Joe Brown è sostituito dal cantante Jimmy Farrar per problemi di diabete: in copertina uno spettacolare Conan Il Barbaro di Frazetta, ma Beatin’ The Odds, nonostante la spettacolare title track, è stroncato dalla critica, non dal pubblico che regala l’ennesimo disco in classifica. La Band ha un buon seguito fino al 1989, quando Danny Joe Brown, rientrano nel 1985 nello splendido Double Trouble Live (1985), è costretto di nuovo ad abbandonare le scene, e la band si scioglie. La storia dei Molly Hatchet continuerà, tanto che nel 2005 si riformano formalmente, anche con nuovi dischi, ma non paragonabili al furore sudista dei loro grandi capolavori.
