Merry Xmas You Assholes!

[Martin Eisenstadt]

Christmas Eve is unseasonably warm in the northeast

Unseasonably warm in the northeast?  This can only mean one thing: 




Janko is returning from the fires of Hell!

More likely kicked out, for being too much of an asshole even by Lucifer's standards.

[Albert Hidel]

Janko returns from the infernos of Hades with an inspirational Christmas message for us all.

Is it as hot there as he thought it would be?  

I think I see Thomas Vernon "Chip" White in there too:

That's Andy Pyle on bass, formerly of the great Blodwyn Pig.  He was only in the Kinks for a short while, so this is a nice find.  Story I read was that Pyle was an auto mechanic before he made it as a musician.  He quit the Kinks (probably shortly after this video was made) because he made more money working in the garage than he made with the Kinks.  Ray Davies is notorious for being a cheapskate. 

Ironically, Pyle succeeded John Dalton, who also quit the Kinks because he wasn't making any money.  Dalton's wife asked him if the band would be touring before Christmas, because they wouldn't have any gift money otherwise.  Dalton asked Ray who confirmed they would not be touring, so Dalton quit and got a job so he could afford to buy presents for his own kids.  Father Christmas give us your money indeed.
