bb:
This is Middlesboro, OWZ, if you’re there.
OWZ:
I’m kind of always here. For you. But I choose it as well. If I can bring my bemused audience along. (OWZ turns around to look at the suddenly manifested audience, giving them a thumbs up. They laugh appreciatively.)
bb:
We’ll give it a try.
OWZ:
Well it is a great song, like the reviewer says.
—–
bb:
High compliment from you.
OWZ:
Not really.
bb:
So what is the welding of Village Green and Centerville, this central mystery to the side of all else, perhaps.
—–
bb:
Turns out that reviewer, Robert Christgau, didn’t seem to like you too much OMZ.
OWZ:
I checked through you as well. Don’t know the fellow. Doesn’t understand what he’s talking about. But that’s the new paradigm I’m dealing with. Reed, Kinks… all these fellows I didn’t know about before that latch onto me and I onto them. Without knowing it. I’m different because I’m presently on the other side looking in. I *have* to deal with this to progress forward. I’m doing this from the *present*. (pause)
bb:
Do you know of the Art Line?
Hucka D.:
Yes.
bb:
Hi again, Hucka.
Hucka D.:
Hi. OWZ is gone. Back to the present.
—–
bb:
OWZ is top five[ on The Table]. Don’t you think that makes him happy?
Hucka D.:
Yes.
bb:
The Kinks rise up as well, but not quite that far. And Queen.
—–
bb:
It looks like Sink Floyd and The Bill will always remain on top. I don’t think The Residues have a chance to catch those two, nor The Beetles.
Hucka D.;
We don’t talk a lot about Sink Floyd because their influence sort of ended[ on The Table] considerably before the creation of this blog. So: yeah.
bb:
Billfork was a handoff between Sink Floyd and The Bill. So that’s why they remain The Bill I suppose. I guess.
Hucka D.:
Billfork Agreement.
bb:
Glad we can say that.
Hucka D.:
OWZ.

bb:
Why aren’t The Kinks assigned a variant name, Hucka D.? Is it because all of the members are still alive?
Hucka D.:
Kynks. Cinks.
bb:
Is that a yes?
Hucka D.:
Ask OWZ. Oh… he’s left.
—–
bb:
Was each band or variant band allowed to protect one or two songs, Hucka D.?
Hucka D.:
Yes. For The Kinks: Waterloo Sunset. For Buie: Life on Mars. For The Beetles: one you wouldn’t obviously think of. For Sink Floyd: one off of Piper. For Queen…
bb:
Another group without a variant name, seemingly.
Hucka D.:
Qween, then. And then Ueen. They exchange u and w.
bb:
That might be interesting. Wonder if there’s other connections?
Hucka D.:
But still we have Kinks sitting out there all naked and open. Then there’s Dr. Blood… he may be Kink as you’ve theorized it.
bb:
Dr. Blood is from the future. Tin S. Man.

bb:
The Residues are set to make a jump; OWZ is set to make a jump. The Beetles and Qween will make at least small jumps if not large jumps. But the gap betueen The Residues and The Beetles may grow larger.
Hucka D.:
They must grow and expand together. All the active ones at the top of The Table. That is the way for the carcasses to progress. Carcass-7 is next — can’t wait.
—–
bb:
L. Johnton will jump up.
Hucka D.:
Let’s see… there’s an unknown waiting to move up swiftly through the rank and file. Could be this Father Fred or Henry L. Cow… no relation to L. Johnton that I know of.
bb:
On the video side, we have, let’s see once more…
Hucka D. (chipping in):
The Wizard of Oz and Yellow Submarine.
bb:
Nice. Should have said that myself. (smile)
Hucka D.:
Red Squirt 7?
—–
bb:
What else[ video-wise]? (pause to check source) Lavender Hill Gang?
Hucka D.:
Mob. Wab… Wad… Mod.
bb:
LOST and Sideways. Maybe Sphere again.
—–
bb:
Leftover bits and pieces from 1Pink.
Hucka D.:
The collage of course.
bb:
Yes.

Ann Wesderson:
And the Ann Wesderson stuff.
