I was 12 years old and proud to be in a small town play. Look at that smug mug! As smug as any current Canadian media personality! Thank God for ...The Humbling (see: future). Look at that oyster! Congratulations to the winner! The pearl was appraised: 15 dollars which in today's currency is the cost of two bowls of clam chowder with unlimited bread. I want to know what the winner is up to now.
Apparently the story is that writer was dared to write a bad review. So what easier way than to take down the 'funny' band who were already self-deprecating with the telethon themed 'Benefit For The Victims of July Fourth Toilet'? The music writer didn't even have to write about the music or the other eight members. But what actually enraged me is that I was constantly called 'Rob Dayton' throughout. Good press though and I had gotten some absolutely incredible press from them over the years for which I'm truly grateful. #julyfourthtoilet #georgiastraight
July Fourth Toilet, 90s? 1. Their Satanic Majesties Request: we covered the entire Rolling Stones album, the wizard hat Susan made was too tall for the stage. 2. Satanic ritual: we conjured up satan who had a big dong. 3. Hipnotique: exotica prank to confuse the lounge revival. The 'friend' has a name: longtime bandmate Susan Box. I mostly made animal noises this set. #julyfourthtoilet #tbt #theirsatanicmajestiesrequest #satan #exotica
July Fourth Toilet: photos 1 and 2 by Paul Clarke, Columbia, 1998: me and Julian; Jay and jody, photo 3 by ??? (I know Bev Davies took some), Vancouver Art Gallery: me and my brother Frank.

Sunday: Inside of me is avast bounty. Ha ha, avast! Which reminds me I used to drink something strong and cheap called Bounty (I only ever drank it once back in my dizzy drinking daze) and it had a delicate etching of a pirate ship rocking on the waves which is how it made me feel (how do you feel atm? and by atm I mean automated teller machine, there is one located near the wc's at The Beaver...it feels relatively smooth) let's sing sea shanties tonight! ahhh the quicker picker upper. Ok ok. Inside of me is a vast bounty emanating forth. One of the places it emanates from is my mouth and out of that mouth spews a bounty of sounds! Musical sounds! Perfect for karaoke! Maybe you have your own bounty! Celebrate that! At Bounty Karaoke this Sunday at The Beaver! Heads up: Monday does not exist.Hosted by Robert.
