LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-FEB 2, 2019…IT WAS FEB 2 1976 AND LYNYRD SKYNYRD RELEASED ‘GIMME BACK MY BULLETS’ .
THIS WAS LYNYRD SKYNYRD’S FOURTH STUDIO ALBUM AND HAS THE DISTINCTION OF BEING THE ONLY ALBUM OF THE PRE-CRASH LINE-UP TO HAVE NOT REACHED PLATINUM STATUS OR HIGHER IN AMERICA. HOWEVER IT WAS CERTIFIED GOLD IN 1981. HERE’S A TREAT FOR SKYNYRD FANS. VIDEO OF THE BAND PLAYING AT SF’s FAMED WINTERLAND MUSIC VENUE IN 1976 IN SUPPORT OF THE ALBUM
On Wednesday, Artie Lange‘s team tweeted that he’s in a long-term treatment program, but made no mention of the fact that he was actually busted for drugs that day.
On Thursday Artie Lange was remanded to jail in Essex County, N.J., on Wednesday night for possession of a controlled substance. He has yet to be released.
The same day, his team issued a statement that he was seeking help for his drug addiction.
“Excuse any show advertisements.. starting today, Artie will be undergoing a long term treatment program, he loves and respects his fans… updates coming soon.. and it’s time – TeamLange,” they wrote.
A rep for Lange had no comment; however, his team later tweeted, “The comments made by Arties lawyer have been taken out of context.. Artie was not arrested and sent to jail… they are holding him a few days to sober up before transferring him to a long term treatment facility, Artie needs us to be with him, not against him.”
Lange’s arrest comes after various comedians came forward and urged him to get help. In December, Lange appeared in a New Jersey court after he tested positive for cocaine — but was spared jail time for violating his probation.
The 51-year-old is serving four years’ probation for heroin possession and was ordered to apply to drug court during his appearance at state Superior Court in Newark.
“I wouldn’t be arrogant enough to come in here after using cocaine for two days,” he said during his court appearance. “It’s in my system and it shouldn’t be.”
Lange’s visibly misshapen nose is due to years of snorting heroin and cocaine, he previously tweeted.

LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-FEB 1, 2019…ON THIS DATE 52 YEARS AGO ANOTHER BAY AREA BAND RELEASED A MEGA ALBUM. ‘SURREALISTIC PILLOW’ WAS THE 2ND ALBUM FROM JEFFERSON AIRPLANE, BUT THEIR FIRST RECORD TO FEATURE GRACE SLICK. THIS ALBUM IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE IMITABLE EXAMPLE OF EARLY PSYCHEDELIC ROCK. IT WAS THE FIRST BLOCKBUSTER PSYCHEDELIC ALBUM OF ITS TIME AND WENT GOLD FOR THE GROUP. THE RECORD ALSO BOASTED 2 HIT SINGLES , ‘SOMEBODY TO LOVE’ WHICH WAS ALSO CERTIFIED GOLD, AND ‘WHITE RABBIT’ WHICH WAS CERTIFIED PLATINUM. THIS IS KIND OF INTERESTING TRIVIA. THE ALBUM WAS MIXED IN BOTH MONO AND STEREO VERSIONS. THE STEREO VERSION INCLUDES HEAVIER ECHO EFFECTS, NOT FOUND ON THE MONO VERSION.
HERE’S A LIVE VERSION OF ‘WHITE RABBIT’ RECORDED AT WINTERLAND IN SF CIRCA 1975. BTW THAT’S A 21 YEAR OLD CRAIG CHAQUICO PLAYING LEAD GUITAR FOR THE BAND
