Glitter’s Out (be CAREFUL, kids!) and more …

Yep; sadly, that IS him!

Well, I guess all little kids better stay inside for awhile; Gary Glitter was released from prison yesterday — and, from what I understand, back in the UK again.

But what really makes this story strange are two reports that’ve come out about the perv: (1) He wants to go back to that area (or perhaps Singapore or Hong Kong). Now, considering his crime and perversion, why in the world would he wanna go back to the scene of it all? Unless … (hey … if he does, somebody better keep an eye on the jerk!)
(2) He wants to revive his career!! Man, ya can’t breathe life into a dead horse … especially if ya killed it off yerself!! Besides, he’s got other things to worry about … like, charges in the UK over another sex offense and registering as an HSO (habitual sex offender). And that, yardbirds, oughtta keep our fave one-hit wonder (at least in the states) outta traveling anywhere!

Now, if it seems yer Uncle Relic’s a bit miffed lemme tell ya again what I told ya I told ya before:
I don’t care WHO you are or how “FAMOUS” you are. YOU DO NOT HURT THE KIDS — either physically, emotionally … OR SEXUALLY!!!
Every once-in-awhile, I find I’ve still got enough of the old Eagle left in me to flare out my wings and raise the talons (The Eagle was my nickname when I was columnist in weekly Charlotte newspapers years ago)!

ON TO OTHER, MORE PLEASANT THINGS …

Man, did I ever get chewed out over includin’ Mrs. Miller as bein’ “the worst rock act” a few clicks ago (btw, is it just me, or did anybody else notice that first song on the album to yer right: The Renaissance of SMUT?? Come ONNNNN …!).
Apparently, the late songbird still has a load of fans out there … and, honestly (though many thought her caterwaulin’ left a lot to be desired), I can understand why:

Y’see, Mrs. Elva Miller was a churchgoing lady (of course, she sang in her choir) who proved one important thing to our generation: YOU’RE NEVER TOO OLD OR TOO “ORDINARY” TO REACH FOR YOUR DREAM! OR TO ROCK!!

I can’t tell ya how many time yer Uncle Relic’s been told “Man, yer too old for this stuff!” Hey … Macca, Jagger, Joel … they’re all older than me! Give them that same line! Ron Ryan’s still writin’ the best songs (rock and otherwise) in the business; his brother, Mick, still outplays most of the “guitar greats” today.

Besides, I’ve found one other act that actually made Mrs. Miller sound like Linda Ronstadt! A quasi-Beatle band from way-back called The Diplomats (they only did one LP, which immediately was used for target practice, I think. Even dogs wouldn’t catch ‘em when thrown as Frisbees). These guys were pathetic when they tried to cover Beatles hits.

So, to the fans of the late, great Mrs. Miller: I apologize. Now, put that gun down, okay? …

To the rest of you: Catch me on Relic’s MySpace if ya haven’t already; and, if ya wanna read and hear more (a little more in-depth) you can visit the RockRelic’s SITE.

Now … gotta get some more work done, so, until tonight, remember:
Keep your eyes on the skies, your feet on the ground, your heart with the music …
and I’ll see ya on the FLIP side.
(Now … lemme see if I can spin that Renaissance of Smut! I’m just curious as to how it sounds …)
