Comments: WE REMEMBER THE HOT MONT THING OH-TO-CLEARLY! WE WERE

YOUNGER AND INNOCENT BACK THAN. BUT, THANKS TO HOT MONT WE WERE CORRUPTED INTO HIS WORLD.

WE HAVEN'T BEEN THE SAME(OR HAPPIER) SINCE! WE SEE MONT EVERY NOW AND THEN. LAST TIME WAS AT AN ORGIE IN WALLA WALLA WASHINGTON. IT WASN'T PRETTY BUT WE TRIED TO KEEP-UP TO HIM ANYWAY. AS FOR "LUS", WE HEAR HE'S IN CALIFORNIA MAKIN RECORDS OR SERVING ONE OUT. WE

FOUND SOME OLD 8-TRACKS OF HOT MONTS THAT WERE BOOTLEGGED FROM A SHOW AT BEE-GEE'S TAVERN. WE'LL SELL THEM TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER OR TRADE COPIES FOR ALL EXPENSE PAID TRIP TO GRAPELAND.

Was down around the back area of Fredrick County, Maryland this past July. While there heard tales of some guy a few years back that was running some kinda training facility. He went by the name of H. P. Mont. According to the natives, this guy was running some type of paramilitary religious monk school, preparing for the war that he claimed was coming in this country. He claimed killing the wicked and saving the good was his calling from higher up and teaching others how to do this was to be his way of helping save this great country. Wonder if it was your guy?

-Gregis

(Anybody know anything about this? -sounds a little out of character for the Mont we remember..McLane)

Yes...There is a fellow with a commune here in Montana not far from the West Yellowstone entrance to the park .He's known locally as an eccentric philosopher type & goes by name H.P. Mont.

-from Montana

One of the main influences on my guitar style starting out was was H.M.'s first guitarist Slim Boggins. I loved that mellow fuzz tone.

Comments: Hey - what about Illustrious P. Mangler anyway ?? I say kick the sleeping dog - is it possible that he would have some Hot Mont posters or photos from the early years ??? FIND THE ILLUSTRIOUS ONE !!!

-T. Kwee'nye

The last I saw of him, he was wolfing down a platter o'pizza at Patty O'Malligan's Irish Pizzeria in Colt Station between handfulls of raisins from the never-empty "bucket o'raisins". Rumor has it that cabbage and radishes are his favorite toppings. When not lopping huge helpings of the disgusting stuff in a fit of rage over his lapsing musical career, it's been said he can be found down at Stack's getting drunk out of his gourd and screaming as to the whereabouts of his old friends. Go figure!

-Dave B.

I saw the man himself, Mont a few years ago in the Erie area! He was talking with another rather mysterious man I heard him call Monty. There was a rumour that he was a younger brother of Mont.

I tried to non-chanlantly eavesdrop on the conversation and I over heard the man called Monty mention a long lost 16 track called "Mont the Hoopla" which he going to sell in Venezuela for some big dough!

I once saw Mont perform in a barn in Sherman, N.Y. with a really bad band called J.B.Red.He was simply fabulous and I know it was him that I saw. I wish I'd a had enough sense to run home and get a scratched copy of "Fuel on the Hill' for him to autograph, but alas.

-Hoss`en Pheffer

Lived with Mont in "The Gulley" back in the summer of 73.

I was just there to bum smokes, but Mont and Muggles Mootas

were on the lam cuz of a botched clean-up job they did at Jiffy

(a real mess!!). It was a heady time (i.e., " there was music

in the cafes at night and revolution in the air!!!"). It was

then that Mont penned the first draft of what would later become

the foundation of his manifesto - "Wolf Wagon Escape From Bull's Dam".

It was pure cosmic-stream shit man, right from the heart of Mechanic

Street, but we all thought it was real genius. Wrote his "Mud-Rock

Chronicles" out there that summer too. Some may remember, "Eat Me I'm

a Cookie", or "Ry-chick Up You House". That's the year J.P. Bar-key

turned informer. Mont fled to the Robinson Street Haven for awhile, but

they couldn't hold him (it was not a home for wayward drunks ya know!)

Hey man, gotta smoke I can leech???

-Asylum ChoirBoy

ad a run in with a fellow calling himself "Illustrious" who fits your description not too long ago. His vintage Camaro was broken down on PCH just south of Ventura. Wearing a fake leather jacket . I stopped I'm a 18 wheeler driver to give him some help & he ended up practically ripping my head off.

Started out civil, then he turned mean, reminded me of Joe Pesci. He said that he used to be involved in the music industry in the seventies, but hey, who isn't in SoCal. Is this the man?

Bring on the Tamontley sauce! I like it spicy!

Comments: To Unknown 18 Wheeler,

The guy you picked up was definitely Illustrious. The key clue was the

fake leather coat. He used to buy'em by the car load, it was one of his

trademarks and they were actually made of genuine naugahyde.

The man had a nasally voice and was always heard to be sayin' "Bite my

ass!" and also "I ain't got the money split up yet, so piss off!"

There is no doubt that Illus is in California, I just spoke with PEG

last week, if you know Illus, you'll know who PEG is, anyway she states for

the record that that's where he is and also his one and only son Matt has

joined him since escaping from Pennsylvania.

PEG wouldn't tell me where he is exactly, no doubt because he still

owes us guys in Victuals our last split from the Sherman Public Hall, she's

still loyal to him and this is all for another time and story.

And, speaking of Hot Mont, and who doesn't? I haven't seen Mont in a

while though I did see one of his closest associates, "Queenie" King (Rheem

combo organist for Victuals) at our gig on Saturday the 3rd of Feb at the

Galley (formerly the world renowned "Stack's). "Queenie" and I had a nice

long talk about the old days and Mont naturally came up in the conversation.

"Queenie" remains in close contact with the Hot One and advised me that he

is alive and well and actually wants to golf with the guys again even after

the surgical replacement of his knees. Also heard an interesting rumor that

Mont has the homestead up for sale...boy, if those walls could talk!

Take care and when I hear more, I'll keep ya posted.

Love, Doc

Well, I always thought he was just a tad over dramatic... and this is probably one of his grand standing approaches... I know he knows everyone is looking for him...What a Freakin' Jerk...if ya see him ask him about the college woods...hogsback...Findley Lake...the Wolf Wagon trip to Jamestown..some really good memories...

Comments: Regarding Roy Ree Don Dello and the Hawaiian Pineapples...

Alas, even they became passe'.

ThePineapples broke up around 1979 after Roy and his brother Willie(the original Don't gimme no shit twins) had a falling out over the direction their music was taking. Sound phamiliar? Roy, not one to be takin' no shit, has never returned to music and Willie, whom I spoke with at length about a month ago, is still trying to play guitar. Trying to play guitar? Yep, when the band broke up they were in Brazil after being deported from Italy, reputedly on orders from the CIA station chief in Milan and that's a whole other story, the Federales realized that Willie wuz who he wuz and a little import/export matter that had never been properly settled from years before reared it's ugly head. Brazilian authorities held Willie for a period of time and not in the local Hilton. Willie (the other half of the original don't gimme no shit twins) didn't take any shit from the the Brazilians and managed to flee the country and is the subject of bitter extradition proceedings to this day.

Comments: We're catching on to this Hot Mont thing but I'm not sure of that e-e-erphy-oh thing. Could it be part of the Bible Code?

"Okay, kids, here's the scoop!! Mont's original lineup appeared Thursday night at a small eskimo bar near Moosejaw, that's in Canada by the way. Pictures from this & other shows have been smuggled out of the Great White North & will appear on webpages within a short trime. Mont has stated in interviews that he is doing an "Arctic Circle Tour" this summer. The reason for all of this is that nobody knows who the hell he really is up here, & if all goes well...he may bring the band south. I'll tell ya boys & girls, these guys can still rock the casbah, er, igloo that is! Stay tuned for more" -C.P.

Yoo-goff-'mek-hot'-78 (I saw "Hot Monti" in 78)

By Rabbi Ruben Glessteanosh

It was a warm summer day in 78 as I was fishing for some kosher Yellow

Pike up yonder in the North Bay of Canada when a puddle-jumping plane landed

by my boat. Some lad stepped out of the plane onto the floatation and asked

me how the fishing was. Before I could answer a lady stepped out of the plane and said, "My name is Icecat Sally and me and the Mont have been trying to get some "gigs" up here in the Arctic Circle." She seemed quite gregarious,but he just kind of smiled.

Me being a Rabbi and all, I said, "Hey! Shalom! I got a whole fishing tackle box full of "jigs" if you are after Yellow Pike like I am." They started laughing, jumped back in the plane and flew off. They said they were heading south to Florida.

When I returned to shore and told some fellow fishermen about the event

they explained the difference between a gig and a jig. I was so embarrassed

and always wondered how those kids made out. I was glad to hear Hot Monti

finally got a tour at the Arctic circle. Go Hot Monti! Do you think Icecat Sally is still with him?

Shalom! (editor's note: could "Icecat Sally" be another name for Analie?)

Comments: Hi I might be the only person in Alaska that kind of knows of Hot Monti.I grew up in the western NY state. Is his band willing to come to Fairbanks? We can throw a wild party here!

Rob /Fairbanks,Ak.

I remember when illus used to come into the clubs in Atlanta with Hot Mont

and all the "groupies" would just drool over him. I remember one of the

girls asked if she could have a lock of his hair... and I don't mean on his

head.

Comments: I'm thinking of re-opening an entire chain of Patty O'Malligan's Irish Pizza restaurants since the only place to get decent Irish pizza now is at Irish Cousins in Erie. I'd like Hot Mont as my spokesperson.We played the heck out of his records at O'Malligans, he owes me one.

I'm very flattered by all these people who wonder where I am currently

living. will give no other clue of my location.

"THE REAL HOT MONT"

So who the hell is this "pappy" guy.....if that beard was anymore fake, a

bird would fly out of it. Of course, watching him eat ice cream might be

quite entertaining....only vanilla.

thanks for the memories, poop-deck

Name: Arizona source

Comments: A undisclosed source reported seeing the former roadie of "Victory

at Sea", Triangle Head! He was seen in the Phoenix Arizona recently. As

far as I know no one has heard or seen him since touring with Victory at Sea

in the 70's. In itself this may not be big news, just good to hear

Triangle Head is alive and well. He was one fine roadie I hear. But the

plot may thicken! Another source swears that he spotted Hot Mont and

Triangle head 2 years ago in Tucson, Az at a comedy club. The source went on

to say the following morning Hot Mont and Triangle Head were seen having

breakfast at the Tucson Hilton in the company of 2 babes. What's the

connection if any? Your guess is as good as mine. Signed, Arizona source

attained by using a method of mathematically skipping large blocks of letters in his book. Mont brilliantly encoded this into his book. For a description & transcription of my technique,send s.a.s.e. to:

Comments: In light of the tragic actions of 9-11, there is an eminent need for the re-release of Mont Rushmore to bolster the fine citizens of this country to stand up and be counted as supporter of retaliatory actions against these miscreants that have violated our land.

This would not be a for profit venture, as Mont always portrayed war, but a pure calculated act of vengence for those that died as a result of a violation we, as a people, should not and will not ever forget. Let our flag fly high, let's rekindle our long lost patriotism. Hot Mont's Mont Rushmore could help instill these lost emotions that Generation Next has never felt or had to feel, a lesson from a super patriot.

Hey, true fans of Hot Mont! Watch out for that bogus freebee hms2000 website on geo cities. There is an attached virus that will mess with your computer if you accidentally allow it to execute.
In fact, I stay clear of all freebee, banner supported websites anyway!

Still waiting for my advance copy of the final masterpiece: The true story of GritBungGrot

Dr. DuFwinque here. We haven't given up on this restoration project yet. The fact is we just ran out of money about a year ago. People just aren't donating like they were back in the heyday. Then, to make matters worse, the Everhard Pencil Factory closed down (our lab location)! Damn the luck!

Fortunately, the HMS2000 Society has coughed up a few bucks to get us working again at a makeshift lab/tool shed out in back of the Lowville Shattco. The electric should be in as soon as assistant Mikey rounds up a couple hundred feet of extension cord. The new Hot Mont demos will be on the website for your listening pleasure by August . If you want to donate, drop by Shattco and pull around back by the dumpsters. Cash, non-perishable food accepted. (posted 7-7-04)

I think it might be time for Hot Mont to launch a world wide search for the missing Teisco......I mean, it is one of the bedrocks of rock history.......more precious than lost Barkles tapes, could be the Holy Grail of Rock!
