i bet you and maybe only Andrew Loog Oldham
would know such lovely useless info that i love. thank you.
i just
thought i'd show you the book I wrote about the stones ten years ago.
the * is where all the *book should be.
i thought you'd like that. i
read that article by the guy who i can't say because i guess you are
friends last night from the MF, and although it is hard to write badly
about someone great, and I know how he gets to do it, i read his bio,
but W tangofoxtrot?
he should fire himself, or just go to the leewards.
but you look great in the piece, even though he decided to tell
everyone you lived like a hermit and were in a hospice like state.
unless, i for some reason, i have just started to act like people from
Memphis, and made all that up?
but i'm pretty sure i can send it to
you, if i'm not right.
p.s. how did i miss red hot and blue being
published? i have to get that tomorrow.
and also, he told this long,
not very fact-riddled story about the Rolling Stones' classic book (not,
mine above, but yours),
and all of the sudden there's this whole
william burroughs story he just buries in the fuckin' lede at the flyer?
Burroughs couldn't even put together his own book. this guy made it
seem like yours was being offloaded by longshoreman and that old Bill
had been your personal Gordon Lish (you should probably insert Thom
Wolfe's the good one's publisher in there).
but if the old junky could
help out the "old" junky, i guess with connections, or whatever, i guess
he had some weight to pull back then. by the way, i had a personal
fight with myself last night, trying not to use the internet, that there
is no Dewey Phillips - Legendary Memphis Deejay
chapter/essay/ included in Rhythym Oiiil (i have never, until i started
writing an unfinishable piece on your book, been more frustrated to
know that you mispelted rhythm oil, and i have researched whether that
word, mispelt, can be used spelt like that?
and apparently it can.
unless it's misspelt.
anyway, If someone ever tells you that someone
has intentionally purposefully misspelled a word in the title of
anything and you can't remember how, just don't think about it.
it's
probably too late now, but i wanted to have time to talk to you before i
let you go.

Wallis said of their first time playing together, “We plugged in, left
the amp settings where they were, as they were already turned with a
monkey wrench, and went nuts.”
The trio, which soon drummer Phil
Taylor in place of Fox, recorded On Parole in 1975, with Wallis penning
the title track and contributing to three other songs – Vibrator, Fools
and City Kids, the last of which was a remake of one of his Pink Fairies
numbers.
Though considered a seminal album today, Motorhead’s
label at the time, United Artists, was unimpressed and refused to
release the recording. No Parole was finally issued in 1979, after
Motorhead had found success with albums like Overkill and Bomber.
By this time, Wallis was long out of the band, having left soon after
No Parole’s shelving and the hiring of “Fast” Eddie Clarke as a second
guitarist.
“The game didn't look as if it was worth the candle,”
Wallis recalled.
“I wanted another guitarist to flesh it out, but once
Eddie Clark came along, it was apparent he would be the man to replace
me. He had the enthusiasm that had been eaten away from me by
circumstances.”
Post-Motörhead,Wallis played with a reunited
Pink Fairies and served as a producer for punk and new wave label Stiff
Records. He also recorded a single for Stiff, Police Car/On Parole,
which was produced by Nick Lowe.
Wallis continued to record and
perform, including another stint with the Pink Fairies, throughout the
subsequent decades. His one and only solo album, Death in the
Guitarfternoon, was released in 2001.
