From Monte A. Melnick’s Facebook post: “If you want to have something to do come to White Eagle Hall for a rare screening of Rock'n'Roll High School on Saturday, February 25th! The 1979 cult classic was a vehicle for The Ramones. Featuring a live panel discussion and Q&A with Rock'n'Roll High School director Allan Arkush, longtime Ramones tour manager Monte A Melnick, and the film’s producer Michael Finnell. Q&A hosted by film buff Justin Savage and WFMU's Todd-O-Phonic Todd. And if that weren't enough, the evening will get off to a rip-roaring start with a live set from New York City's Mala Vista! Newark Avenue, Jersey City, NJ.

Dots friend since 2015, Alexia is a fully transitioned Trans. Grew up as a He, yet in 2014, underwent the full sexy change operation & is now a She.

A very insightful conversation with Ray and Dr. Dot. Ray answers questions from Scott Thunes, Robert Martin & Steve Vai as well as many Zappa fans. Ray reminisces on how Frank Sinatra ended segregation at the Black Casino & defended Sammy Davis JR. He chats about his song “Quiet as kept” he wrote for Frank Zappa’s children. Put your headphones on and enjoy ❤️

A quick call to Ike, checking in to hear his medical update. Got a scare when Ray White emailed me & said he couldn’t reach him 😳❤️

Part 1 of my chat with Monte A. Melnick of the Ramones. We talk about his school days with Tommy Ramone, his famous book “on the road with the Ramones” & lots of unique info any Ramones fan will love.

Don Preston mostly known for his extensive work with Frank Zappa speaks about his new album ‘Reflections’ that’s about to drop & the one he’s working on now. He talks about working with Frank and other “Mothers” as well. Lots of giggles.

Checking out the sound when outside. Chatting about podcast/Dotcast glitches, fixes & upcoming guests, challenges of recording while homeschooling my rowdy little Son 😊🤷‍♀️❤️ ps. I can’t figure out how to number the episodes correctly so bare with me 🤷‍♀️😂

Ike Willis mostly known for vocals & rhythm guitar for Frank Zappa is a friend of mine since I was 18. I love Ike and his wife. They are like family for me. This chat with them might make you cry like it did me. I’m posting this time without the song at the end because Spotify makes it “only available on Spotify” if you do add the song. So here it is without the song “Lucille has messed my mind up” at the end.

Denise & Ike spoke to me tonight. Get your tissues out 😰
