Today please remember with me the souls that 40 years ago followed a evil narssistic leader to the Guyanese jungle and those that followed him to their deaths, and the ones who didn’t drink of the poison but were murdered by the evil leadership of the Cult including almost 390 Children. The only US Congressman […]
To some of you this subject may be a little bit outdated, and you may well say that “It is in the past and just leave it there“. Well as many of you know this April 19th 2015 was the 20th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing. And one of the chief reasons for committing […]
Happy Birthday to Me Happy Birthday to Me Happy Birthday J.J. Happy Birthday to Me. Made it to 50. Guess I’ll stick around to see what the next 50 holds in store.
Sadly, we lost B. B. King on Thursday night. Died in his sleep, age 89, taking a huge chunk of musical talent to the other side. Bet there is a epic jam session in heaven about now. Learned a lot of random facts about him from obits, I had no idea he was a certified […]
Veteran’s Day gets by a lot of folks in the US (actually I tend to still call it Armistice Day, as I learned from my grandfather who was wounded in the Great War) and I wish we would do more cool things like this event from the brits. It’s been in the news and even […]
Not sure of the exact date, but 1914 marked the birth of the Dodge Model 30, first car put out by the Dodge Brothers. (It had a Shaker Hood, as well as Shaker Seats, Shaker Windows, Shaker Roof, well… you get the idea.) And if you need further proof that real men drive a Dodge, […]

Died 44 years ago, today. 🙁
Aug. 16, 1977 MR & I were playing a gig when we heard the  news today, oh boy.
If anyone would have given me a list of people that would/could be probable suicide candidates, Robin Williams would have been so far off the the list and the radar it would be astronomical…..  I can not tell you how glad I am going to be when 2014 finally disappears from our current calendar……  This makes […]

It’s crazy how much survives from ’60s sci-fi. Found a reference the other day to an auction from a couple years ago. Details are sketchy, but I think this went for about $28,000. Looking a bit worse for wear, Balok is still around…. Reminds me of the discovery and restoration of the prop from […]
Yesterday, June 27, Bobby Womack died at the age of 70….. Â I know a lot of you probably don’t know who he was, but, if you know anything at all about R & B and R & R, you should…… Â With his wife Shirley (at the time), he wrote one of my all-time favorite Stone’s […]
Got bored, so dug through my stash and reacquainted myself with a fascinating documentary about a man that fought the Cold War single-handedly in a world of black and white: This 2011 HBO documentary is very well done, and covers everything from his early childhood to the aftermath of his death. Bobby Fischer was an […]
