I do not believe in ghosts. They tell you they will meet you at a place at a certain time, then they do not show up. In addition, they tell you that you do not need to worry because they will take care of it. But they do not take care of it, and when you ask them what happened, they claim that their incorporeality prevented them from completing their task. That is why I do not believe in ghosts.

INITIATE EPISODE FOURTEEN

CONTENTS:

True Believers “Hard Road” (1986)

Talk about a hard road! These guys got so fucked over by their label, that their completed second record got pulled off the release list two weeks before it was supposed to drop. In a roundabout way, it was released in a Rykodisc compilation seven years later, but by then it was too late, even for True Believers.

Oscar Brown, Jr. - Movin' On Oscar Brown, Jr. “Walk Away” (1972)

You gotta respect someone with the balls to tell it how they see it. One time, I met the best friend of one of my friends, and within five minutes of us talking in private he told me, ‘shut the fuck up and never talk to me again.’ I thought it was a fluke, but sure enough the next time we met he again told me, ‘shut the fuck up and don’t talk to me.’ And I never did.

Da King & I - Contemporary Jeep Music Da King & I “Let’s Take a Trip” (1993)

Hell yeah! Let’s take a trip. Where do you want to go? The Badlands with a quick stop at Wall Drug to laugh at all the compiled crap they have there? How about to Branson so we can try to drink some senior citizens under the table. Wait a minute, we fling around senior citizen like nobody’s biz, but why don’t we use senior illegal immigrant?

Vinegar Joe - Vinegar Joe Vinegar Joe “Early Monday Morning” (1972)

Though he’s not heard on this song, Vinegar Joe had a male vocalist named Robert Palmer as well. Wonder what became of that dude.

The Big Apple Rotten to the Core Vol 2 Ism “Loaded” (1987)

Looks like this song can only be found on a compilation record called The Big Apple: Rotten to the Core Vol 2. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of boss tracks on there.

Sparks “Pretending to Be Drunk” (1984)

These guys remind me of Adam & The Ants, who I wish were now giving classes to disaffected goth youths. In their class, Adam would show them that if you really want to stand out, dress like Elizabethan fops trying to disguise themselves as Native Americans from ‘60s cowboy movies. You’ll still get the shit kicked out of you, but you’ll look fantastic doing it.
