 RESUME

IN 1974 I PERFORMED AT THE CANTAB

IN 1985 I PROMOTED THE FIRST

BON JOVI SHOW

IN BOSTON @ PARADISE

In 1973 I played the Coral Reef in Everett;

in 1974 The Cantab Lounge in Cambridge,

in 1985 I helped put together the FIRST show by Jon Bon Jovi at the Paradise Theater in Boston.

On or about 6 pm January 7, 2022 some jealous, angry bar manager, Kylie Connors, took a wrecking ball to the 6 year old Cantab page that I had built that had 6,000 hits when the club opened.

Jealous, angry Kylie Connors thinks my work is "old fashioned," according to Cambridge Day.

Hard work and honest efforts are hardly "old fashioned," they are effective. Thanks to Joe Viglione there was a line out the door on Opening Night.

Thanks to Cantab's substandard management, the opening night was delayed week after week, and a couple of nights after my huge opening, why did management NOT adhere to people wearing maks?? and why did COVID strike?? and ...allegedly they hushed it up. If true, how does that help you, dear club goer?

You want the truth or the new Cantab's fiction?

I submit and allege that GM Mike Cronin and his incompetent staff have done irreparable harm to our scene at this point in time. Bands are fleeing and Mickey Bliss is using a database that I constructed with no compensation to me to "fill in the blanks."

It's truly sad that Tim Dibble sees fit to hurt an elder person like me while promoting "Big Brother, Big Sister" and acting so charitable. It seems to be all about show, not substance. https://clubbohemianews.blogspot.com/2022/01/in-1974-i-performed-at-cantab-in-1985-i.html

I'VE FORGOTTEN MORE THAN MANY PUBLICISTS WILL EVER REMEMBER

My dear friend of 44 years, Mickey Bliss, libeling my efforts in Cambridge Day, efforts that he paid for over the years, mimicking idiotic Kylie Connors with her sad work ethic! 

Mickey is culpable, I believe, in damaging promotion for the bands, calling hard work "old fashioned," when the Cantab Instagram account has barely anything on it! And probably less effort for lazy, crazy Kylie's buffoonery she calls a Facebook page.

Y'all saw how my "old fashioned" publicity gets results, and the artists get tons of promotion that benefits them!!! (jealous Kylie doesn't know the first thing about promotion, so she casts aspersions behind Dibble's fancy, fancy lawyers, Koward Kylie!)

The unprepared staff is probably costing the club a small fortune in alleged lost revenue.  How much $$$$ is really coming in?

Who loses?  The music community

Who loses?   The artists who need real promotion, not some woman offering me a drink while we were all "ON THE CLOCK" after a luncheon.

BAR MANAGER AT THE CANTAB

INCOMPETENT AND BUNGLING

KYLIE CONNORS

LUSTED FOR MY JOB

KYLIE CONNORS HURTS THE ARTISTS

IRREPARABLE HARM TO EACH SHOW!

SHE CAN'T PROMOTE HER WAY OUT OF A PAPER BAG

SHE TOOK A WRECKING BALL TO THE MAJESTIC CANTAB PAGE THAT I HAD BUILT OVER THE PAST SIX YEARS

THE CANTAB LOUNGE HAS HAD A

COVID SCARE

REPEATEDLY FAILED TO OPEN THE VENUE ON TIME

AND NOW WITH A JEKYLL AND HYDE GM

AND BAR MANAGER KYLIE CONNORS

BANDS APPEAR TO BE FLEEING THE CLUB

FLEEING

WITH THREATS THAT THEY WILL NEVER PLAY THE ROOM AGAIN, THE IRREPARABLE HARM IS WHAT IS BEING DONE TO THE BOSTON MUSIC SCENE.

When my dear pal Andrea is DEMANDING Vaxx cards, yet her video of a great band, S.R., shows people dancing without masks, yet she's demanding a VAXX card from every member of B.S.R. (initials used as the artists, like me, are the victims here,) and B.S.R. rightfully cancels, one of our best bands, you see the problems that their lawyers are DEMANDING I do not talk about.  They are attempting to HIDE this First Amendment information from the public that they, I believe, are irreparably hurting during a PANDEMIC.

ALLEGEDLY DRINKING ON THE JOB,

CONNORS INVITED ME TO HAVE SOME TEQUILA

I DON'T DRINK ON THE JOB

ALCOHOL IS DEADLY

READ THE CAMBRIDGE DAY ARTICLE TO SEE THE LIBELOUS ATTACKS BY THE CANTAB SOUNDMAN/BOOKING AGENT

KYLIE CONNORS, PUBLICIST GENIUS OR FRAUD?

Tim Dibble needs to FIRE MIKE CRONIN and KYLIE CONNORS and start fresh.

The club should shut down until May with the blizzards and Covid and a crew not able to deal with adversity.  It's a damn mess.

Mickey Bliss needs to stop the ganja...seriously.

Talk about an imbalance.  You want to socialize with it, fine, but when people overuse alcohol, marijuana or both there's a definite problem, in this journalist's humble opinion.   My advice: go seek help!

I promise you, people, I have never fallen asleep behind a soundboard in my 50 years of recording like your pal and mine, Mickey Marijuana, but that's me.

Sleeping on the job?  Or nodding out on the job!

The new Cantab: they offer that I can drink on the job....problem is, I don't drink!   Yet a soundman legendary for nodding out on the job sneaking some weed in at "the office" in the back, while supposedly working for a community with the P.A. out of control, and the engineer nodding off.

Great.
