Illinois Enema Bandit

[e***@gmail.com]

Hi there,
does anybody know whether the Illinois Enema Bandit is actually based
on a real person? I think Frank's made the whole thing up as it's far
to weird to be true, but a friend of mine reckons he's heard of the
I.E.B. before hearing the FZ song.

Outside of Martin, what happened to all of the other affz posters who replied to this thread? Have they all passed on? Did they all get sick of FZ’s music? Or do they have a life????

...and I'm detouring a bit - a longish-term project to rip all my CDs
onto a hard drive for easier access. My old Sony CD player plays half a
track and then starts skipping and the so the only player I have that
works reliably is a USB CD drive thats currently connected to the laptop
I'm writing this on. I've detoured through jazz and blues. Now on FZ
sidemen (just ripped and listened to Johnny 'Guitar' Watson) to be
followed by FZ and then back to a drawer-full of classical stuff. Then
only vinyl to digitize.

Besides, now summer is almost here, music etc. is about to take a backseat
to soaring. The glider is ready and so am I.

Martin: they still do sell cd players! I have a Sony CE-375 which is going on about 11 years old now. The one before that lasted 13 years. Since I have around 1,000 cds I will most likely purchase another one. My home is all wired for sound hooked up to my “entertainment center”. I started buying 45 rpms & 331/3 vinyl back in 1964. Then in 1981 I put them all on cassette tapes. Then switched everything over to cds in 2000 & sold/ gave away all my vinyl. That’s it! I ain’t going on any further. Yeah, I have music on my old computer but that’ll be dying soon. But that’s limited to one room. My kids will be able to sell all my cds for $3.00 each at my estate sale. I wish I knew how much $$$ I have spent on records/ tapes/ blank tapes/ cds/ cdrs over the years. It was all the 4 lads from Liverpool’s fault!!

Mine is a rather nice Sony 338ESD. These still change hands for goodish
money because they're built like brick outhouses and over here are still
valued by hifi buffs. I think the read head (LED and photocell) may be
failing.

My setup is probably similar, but smaller since I only have a small
house. Sound is based round a Quad 33/303 I've had since 1979, with an FM3
FM tuner and a Logitech Touch that controls the music server on one of my
computers and converts streamed music into audio input for the Quad 303

You don't need much computer to do this: a GBP 35 RaspberryPi can easily
act as the music server, though I'm using a 20 year old whitebox PC
because I have it and its working well.

I got the music collecting bug a bit before those lads arrived - via
Peter,Paul and Mary, then Bob Dylan and jazz. My boost into (prog) rock
came from hearing the whole of ELP's "Pictures At An Exhibition" played
on the radio one Saturday afternoon. I only got into FZ when some chums
played me JG vol 1, so quite late, soon after I got back from a rather
long drive round parts of Asia - I missed most of the Punk era because of
that.

Missed most of the Punk era..... no harm in that!

A Google search of famous people from Champaign Illinois brought me here, oddly
enough. I never even would have though of doing so unless I was trying to understand what was said on a episode of AEW (wrestling show btw). Yeah I know a weird way to come here. With that being said, this has to be one of the best examples of white privilege. Six years!? Only 6 years of jail after doing all of that horrible and disgusting things to women? Either that and/or poor police and legal & judicial procedures. Victims afraid to come forward? WTF!?

WTF r u talking about????

Hang on.

(pulls up a chair and a bowl of popcorn)

Proceed.
