- This is the original full clip of Flo and Eddie on the Martin Mull Show in 1976. Mark Volman is doing Joni Mitchell and Yoko Ono while Howard claims they are victims of a "giant cultural gap" i dunno exatly what that means but it sounds good. They do a stunning Jimmy Page Robert Plant number and then George Harrison. They pine about "the era is gone man, its over man," . . everyone burnt up their Martin Accoustic guitars at a Festival bonfire or ground them up and ate them like Granola. It's the all new electric age with Jimmy Page. Led Zeppelin lives!
As legend has it The Turtles were invited to the White House to perform for President Richard Nixon's daughter, the petite and beautiful Tricia Nixon. They performed their hits and then some, high on weed, coked up and loose as a goose. By Kaylan's estimate Mark Volman fell off the stage a few times and even hit on Lucy Baines Johnson. But that's only a smidgen of six pages from their memoir, "Shell Shocked." It seems that Kaylan's life as a pop star has a Huck Finn quality that turns work into play and play into work...not bad when it pays the bills.
As you know Einstein did experiments to prove all this stuff but you should also know that Einstein fell out of favor of the scientific community after his huge hit E=MC squared. You can only have a big hit on the charts for so long. Seriously look that up, Einstein was picked on and picked apart in the latter half of his life. There are competing theories to Mr. Einstein. Now we know FZ is one of them!
Things change as we learn new stuff, science is final, up until it isn't. Science can update at any time in space. In January 2024 they discovered a impossibly huge ring of galaxies that might lead us to change everything we know about how the universe began. This ring of galaxies, appropriately called the "Big Ring," has a circumference of nearly 4 billion light-years. Thats no small donut. That's no small Sofa, back when the universe consisted of nothing more elaborate than Mark Volman.
This intergalactic ring-shaped superstructure of galaxies and galaxy clusters - is so fuqqing large it defies explanation. This structure lives so deep in the universe that we see it as it was some 9.2 billion years ago. What kills me is that what we see is billions of years ago, that it takes billions of years for this visual if you will to get to us. We never think of the visual (light) of an image, images are made of light, to last more than a fraction of a moment that it is seen. Imagine the neighbors dog blew a fart and it goes thru space for a million years. When we look at stuff in space, that crap might be long gone a long time ago but we are only just now seeing it.
It says for example, if your structure is 500 million light years across, light would take 500 million years to move from one end to the other. However, the particles we are talking about in this new discovery are moving much more slowly than light, so it would take billions of years to create a structure of this size, and the universe has only been around for about 14 billion years."
Since lately, because of the dramatic increase in trolls (bullshitters) the label of “scientifically proven” has also become a potent marketing and disinformation tool. There’s an increase in suspicion of scientists and technology, and plenty of interest in vague stupid comforting alternative philosophies.
Can We Ever Really Prove Anything? It is often said that nothing is ever absolutely proven in science. This is true to some extent in that, contrary to anti-science propaganda, science as a method is quite open-minded and aware of the limitations of human reason, and so the method allows for the possibility that any idea, no matter how established and venerated, can be proven false with adequate evidence.
The Earth is not flat nor poised on the back of a stack of turtles. Similarly, it is often said that the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, meaning that something as yet not thoroughly tested scientifically cannot be dismissed as false, only regarded as unproven. This is certainly true as well.
Unfortunately, in the world of internet grifters, trolls and political hoodwinker wankers this idea is often twisted into a claim that nothing can be regarded as false without an unachievable standard of voluminous and perfect quality evidence against it. But in the real world, we can’t have perfect evidence for everything, and we must apportion our limited resources rationally. You can’t say everything is fake news just because you haven’t seen something.
One key principle to bear in mind is that we are by nature inclined to generate and trust evidence that confirms our beliefs. Even the smartest and most honest scientists and the Muffin man have deep, unconscious biases in favor of their own ideas, and these biases influence how they conduct their work and how they interpret data in the Muffin Utility Research Kitchen.
These brilliant men skated along the edge of fame and rock stardom, without EVER compromising their artistic integrity. Damn good stuff. And they’re still at it to this very day!
Sadly, Howard Kaylan no longer performs.
I saw Flo and Eddie live in 1980, and they performed “The Fence” (a parody of Pink Floyd’s “The Wall”).
Just another link in the fence? 😆
DNK that,...hilarious!!
I am going to see Flo & Eddie at WI State Fair in Aug '22. I am so looking forward to it.
Well how was it?
@@SoiledWigI think Flo and Eddie may have killed him
I remember seeing this !! Thank you for bringing it back !!
Nice. These guys were always great but maybe a little Zappa bleed over with this madness. Love it.
ya think?
listen to illegal immoral and fattening which is where i first heard this riff - they used eddie are you kidding instead of nicky nicky noy' - the funny part is they i think were part of the la scene as well - recording with some of these same people they paradied.
and just another band from la - the live one - where they were part of eddie the mountain - and never knew they were the emcees of sort with zappa. must have been a bit of a release of power for frank to not be able to control these guys - but it was classic
How are these guys not in the RR Hall of Fame?
they only accept rubbish into that club
I saw them live in Philly in the early 70's doing this concert.
Saw them at the Spectrum as part of a package show, mid-70's. Flo did a take-off on Jim Dandy of Black Oak Arkansas, which was hilarious.
The Concert I mentioned was at the Spectrum too. Maybe the same show.@@Romany1111
I looked around a bit. Think it might have been Alice and the Billion Dollar Babies tour, where they opened. @@bowler3329
Yoko was soooo underrated😄
ALWAYS
Little did they know what was around the corner with punk and new wave
I saw these guys in 73 during the Billion Dollar Babies tour. All I will say they definitely got the crowd pumped up for the Alice Cooper Band. One of the best all-around shows I have ever seen.
I saw that tour in Providence, RI, my first concert, I was 13! Before Flo and Eddie, a local band played before them-Ken Lyons and Tombstone.
Flo does a heckuva good Page impression!
Eddie is the lead singer. Flo is the fluorescent leech holding the guitar. Page is the singer for Zep.
@@memory-nownow-anticipation7087 Nope. Robert Plant is the lead singer for Led Zep. Page is the guitar player and sometimes second singer. Flo was doing a good job of imitating Page's body language, plus his trademark lower lip jut.
He just so confidently ignored what you said just to call you wrong lol
@@xbmpr "Page is the singer for Zep" is what I called wrong. We were agreeing otherwise.
For sure the kind of banter and style that they did with Zappa. And, knowing Z's methods, Z probably "borrowed" it.
I saw them open for Zappa in Louisville back then. They did the Hawaiian song. 😀
Flo & Eddie were the opening act on Alice Cooper's Billion Dollar Babies tour. 👏👏👏👏
Yes, with a killer encore of "Eleanor"
Amazing!
we loved flo and eddie - from the turtles to zappa. and we hated everyone they mocked... only kidding
I loved this !
These guys really did not give a fck lol long live The Turtles 🐢 lol
I saw Flo and Eddie at a five-band oldies concert (Spanky McFarland, Gary Puckett, the Association, & Three Dog Night were the others--great lineup for $12.50) on a NYC pier in 1984, when they were riffing on Quiet Riot and Flashdance, complete w/Flo drenching himself on stage to the tune of "Maniac". Outstanding live act, always funny, always evolving to mock and pay homage to new kinds of music.
Fantastic! Made my night! Thanx so much! ❣️❄️🌎❄️❣️
Flo looks like Leslie West, but Eddie is no Robert Plant!
The infamous wack jobs from 200 Motels . Legends .
Hey! I was thrown outta school for less than this. Sometime for more than this. Whacky guyz.
I always loved Nikki Hoi.
The main tune here is "Nikki Hoi" from their first album. This is a routine they'd been doing for a year or so.
Wow! That's relevant! Legend has it that George Harrison was not in fine form during his 1974 "Dark Horse" tour, which critics labeled "Dark Hoarse."
Yeh thats exactly what he was riffing on, if you don't know yer thinkin' WTF is he doing. They know everybody they saw it all. Legends.
Very creative ❤❤❤
You that wasn't supposed to be an Alice Cooper bit. It would've been great if they had done one. That was a passing mention
Flo & Eddie opened for Alice Cooper after the release of their first album. I remember Mark Volman wearing a flamingo on his head that he would spin around. I also remember having to stand on the folding chairs in order to see, even though we were on the fifth row. Someone on a few rows in front of us stepped back on the chair they were standing on, and it did what it was supposed to do - fold. Just like dominoes, he went down, followed by the entire row. Two rows followed, but luckily we got down before it got to us. I'm not sure if this was the School's Out tour or Billion Dollar Babies.
I crashed Flo's hotel room. He was pretty cool about it. Ask him about the "pretzel incident".
When the brains take over and have fun.
Was the little guy on the far right with a clarinet Greg Hawkes with the Cars?
Considering he was in Martin Mull and his Fabulous Furniture band. I would say, maybe.
Yes it's him, I'm a member of a Cars Facebook group and they share this clip from time to time.
Greg Hawkes is in the current Happy Together Tour Turtles (if I recall correctly).
Sing "Eleanor "!!!
Well, that was different.
I would had Robert Plant. What a great singer.
Mock ‘n roll!
Bring the band on down behind them, boys.
You know there comes a time in every performance when you gotta get serious for a minute,, I've been giving this a lot of thought....
Way cool
Lol!
CHECK OUT THE KILLER COOL TRAVIS BEAN GUITAR....
I'm 63 and still don't get it.
Lay off the porto potty brah😶
@@johnstallings4049 lol
i play this song, minus all the crap. yes i'm a fan....but
The old Morning Zoo standard.
Don’t do drugs kids
Lol!
I know Im in the minority here but, way to campy and goofy for me. It seems like the lead guitarist may feel the same way
Apt, given the nonsense surround Neil Young and Joni Mitchell right now.
Because music is an industry and many other unsavory facts! They needed a rubber 🎵😶🎵 chicken 🍗!
Hate to be the skunk at the picnic but that was cringey.
Why?
Volman does not play the guitar at all!
They should've stuck to "Eleanor, gee I think you're swell." The Turtles were good. Flo and Eddie sucked. Too much time with Zappa, I suppose.
