It's FFF ! (Friday Facebook Fight)

A totally irrelevant post - unrelated to Penny Knight Band and it's proceedings ...
Thought you may be interested in a typical attempt at humor of mine that went BAD WRONG ...

I responded to a Facebook post of an event added by a local Capital District (NY) Arts reporter/blogger and that elicited a "less than warm response" from another follower of his ... a transcript of the written altercation follows ... Much love and no offense, Tony J:


Thom O'Connor
(original posting about an event with 5 bands and a pig roast):‎5 Bands and a Pig next Saturday afternoon, 24th

Tony Jones (my response):‎"5 Bands and a Pig" . I was initially confused ... thought it was a novel about an old girlfriend of mine.

Peter Vincent Liporace (obvious Tony Jones fan):ouch... sexist...
Peter Vincent Liporace (more TJ Love):portraying any woman in that light perpetuates long standing gender inequality... choose your words wisely...

Tony Jones:
PVL - Apologies. It's called comedy ... I meant no harm to your or anyone else's sensibilities. My mother is, in fact, a female and I love her and consider her equal to, if not superior to, my father.

Were I not a raging heterosexual, I would have said it reminded me of an old boyfriend, but I have no expertise in that area.

Tony Jones:
I, too, have been oppressed ... by those who lack a thick skin and a modicum of humor. EVERYONE in this country needs to lighten up. If that happens, I promise you a better world ahead.

I will now retire to my chamber of self-loathing and doubt. But let me pass along these final words ... I have always firmly believed that the female gender is the stronger of the two .... in countless ways.

There, I said it! Now I'll expect a beating from all men's rights activists on FB....

Tony Jones:
Thom, my sincere apologies for turning your non-controversial post into a philosophical bloodbath.

Thom O'Connor:Hey! That's what pigs and facebook are for. And I have enjoyed...

Tony Jones:Much appreciated, Thom. And many thanks for the opportunity to enjoy a cheap adrenaline rush!

Band Dissention

After one full practice and, out of nowhere, comes conflict between Richard and "The Wease".

I normally don't get involved in these interpersonal things but I had to speak my mind on this one. Richard was just trying to be helpful and I think the Wease was way outta line.

Wease even used profanity but, if that type of thing doesn't offend you, give this a listen http://www.box.net/shared/kne0gau92o and let us know if you think he is wrong for the way he's reacting to Richard.

You'd think after 25 years, we would be more mature than this ...

The Creative Process or "How Great Songs Develop"

During rehearsal of our tune "Like In The Movies", Buck the Kid unveils his new approach to songwriting and gets strong support from Penny ... listen here: http://www.box.net/shared/qzt98lan89

NEWS FLASH: Mickey Thomas Joins "Penny Knight Band"

We Still Got It!!

This project is turning out better than I could have hoped for! Rehearsal on August 19th was great!
Tony says he hardly plays his bass---sure---smooth and solid as ever. Adding the Wease on drums was a brilliant idea-he was always one of my faves. Tony and Wease(Tony G) work like "Peanut butter and Jelly"! This combo gives me the opportunity to front the band and concentrate on the vocals. When the rythm section is good--"All is right with the world"!

What can I say about Bob B. (well there's alot but I don't have the time) That talented Mother-f----r can't do anything wrong!!! It sounds good now-I can't wait to hear this blend once Richard joins in. Don't you just love when a plan all comes together!!! Until next rehearsal------767!!!!!!
