Doors drummer loses his mind.

August 17, 2010

So continuing on this Doors thing… I basically wrote former Doors drummer John Densmore off as a bit of a wanker because of his allegiance to a dead Morrison and his stonewalling of keyboardist Ray Manzarek and guitarist Robby Krieger and their twin desire to play Doors songs under some variation of ‘The Doors’ name.

When You’re Strange

August 12, 2010

I just watched the Doors documentary “When You’re Strange”. If you know nothing of the Doors you must see this movie. If you know a little about them but don’t get what the fuss is/was about, you must see this movie. If you like them, love them or hate them you must see this movie. [...]

The night my band pissed off Jeff Buckley

June 23, 2010

It was a place called the “Discafe” in San Diego; a hip little spot where one could go and check out CD’s- as in the library type check out – and listen to them on bolted down CD players while you did your homework and drank your Café. Get it – ‘Disc-Café’.   A novel idea [...]

I mean, I don’t know…I’m so confused. It’s like, how can I feel so violated yet strangely liberated at the same time? [...]

Did you ever shoot anybody?

May 30, 2010

“Why the Marines?” I asked my uncle as I sized him up in his funky maroon jumpsuit he always wore. “Because they were the toughest”. “Hmmph”. I didn’t get it. I didn’t get much actually.

May 6, 2010

Hard to believe the person who is arguably the most influential figure in the last hundred years of Western pop culture is a decent guy. This is an account written by songwriter/baseball fanatic/leftist turned smartist Seth Swirsky ‘running’ into his childhood (and adulthood) idol Paul McCartney. The post is from the website outlandosmusic.com but I [...]

April 25, 2010

Well, today is Sunday so I’m going to give you a little spiritual medicine. It goes down easy though. Promise. Woody Allen interviews Billy Graham here sometime in 1969. It really is an interesting and delightful interview as they both seem to genuinely enjoy themselves. Woody appears a bit uneasy at first but then Graham’s [...]

Praise the Lord for Black Sabbath?

April 13, 2010

Been trying to get back into running lately and as you know, it can be hard without some good music to keep you going. So the other night I pulled up a record on my iphone I haven’t listened to in ages: Black Sabbath Vol 4. All I can say is… Wow. Everyday for weeks [...]
