Creative outlet

Greetings and Salutations!

I have decided to try something new, something sort of unexpected and not my usual thang. I'm following two inspirational quotes. "When was the last time you did something for the first time?" And, "If it is to be, it is up to me!" I have had a lifelong love affair with, and an appreciation of music. I felt the need for a creative outlet. My work doesn't allow me to be too creative, so it's time to be startin' something!

Music is in the air!

Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me





I have always loved this song by Elton. Whenever I'm out and about or just hanging out watching the sunset, this song plays in my head...

4th of July!!






"X's version of a Christmas song." -John Doe

One of my ALL Time favorite bands, and the best band since The Doors to come out of Los Angeles IMO. I have loved (and so does my friend Teri) John Doe since about 1980, his voice is fantastic, he is dreamy and he is just so cool. Exene is so eccentric and smart AND cool and somehow the combination of their voices is cussin' beautiful! And she has great taste in men, having been married to John Doe and Viggo Mortensen!! I play this song EVERY 4th of July! I love love love this picture of them!

Belinda Carlisle, my favorite member of the Go-Go's, I love BC! I just finished reading her memoir "Lips Unsealed" and I'll be seeing the Go-Go's on their Happily Ever After Farewell Tour in a few weeks at the Greek. I'm excited! This is my favorite of her solo tunes. You can hear The Beach Boys genius Brian Wilson singing back up, what could be better? And she looks fantastic in this video, way to go "Babe"! BC was one fucked up woman for a LONG time, glad she finally got her act together, and now has peace in her life!

Summertime





This song WAS the summer of 1997! You heard it everywhere, especially in the LBC!! Yes, they were from Long Beach. Another local band makes good!

Magic Carpet Ride!

Heard this song today and it really took me back! Love the VERY 60's sound with the organ, the raw and chunky guitar work and just about everything about this song. Leslie's posting Steppenwolf? Yep,this is all about music I dig.
