patti smith is an artist in residence at my local botannical park she came with an incredible Mapelthorppe floral exibition paired with her book, poetry and music very cool event she speaks, reads and plays music annually have never met her--she seems really cool
How many of you know Fred Smith's music? I hired his former band for a college show---it was crazy--my last show there for a few decades

it's hot...it's BEEN hot here it's GOING TO BE hot here. while lying in bed knowing the main ac unit was just feet away if i got up i thought about how kids love the heat and how we were always outside. Trying to cool myself off i thought back to those days where we thought nothing of going to an all day outdoor concert in 90 degree weather and this day: www.reddit.com/r/ClassicRock/comments/z0hmxx/super_bowl_of_rock_game_3_july_10_1977_soldier/ted nugent's stranglehold was turned into magic by the whole field being covered by thousands (and thousands?) of empty gallon milk jugs that people had long consumed the contents of being tossed up and down like popcorn. it was truly a sight to behold from the sane seats (but i still suffer partial hearing loss from that day)

martha and the vandellas were classy gals. I love the American Bandstand version Heatwave.
Today, celebrating Independence Day with this blast from the past. It was on the radio in car so I thought I'd post it up when I got home.
In 1966 singers composed and wrote the lyrics to their own songs.......and sang and performed them. (Later on writers would write many of the songs for singers).
I remember listening to this on my *transistor* hand held radio, that I had to hold up to my ear while walking to school.
This is a fantastic rhythm/beat, IMHO....simple strumming guitar, I am clapping along right now! Don't need no fireworks cuz "Gonna make our own lightning...."

That same year The Monkees had a hit with the Neil Diamond song I'm A Believer. He played some guitar on the track.
I thought love was only true in fairy tales Meant for someone else but not for me Love was out to get me That's the way it seemed Disappointment haunted all of my dreams

wgn morning news has a totally kick-ass guy (i know it's a guy) whose sole job is (hopefully) to pick apropos songs to play a snippet from as they go to one of their MANY commercial breaks. It's amazing the things this guy comes up with that match one of the stories they have just done that segment...today this was one of them-STAY HIGHLAND PARK STRONG! ps-one day i will post my tom petty story...it involves the front row, drugs, a missing purse and a "borrowed" car (6/29/86). http://instagram.com/p/BWTNQ3eDE0G

i am pretty bummed that these guys had to cancel their (free) outdoor concert at the square roots festival this weekend i hope whoever's surgery necessitated the postponement of their tour gets well soon (doubly so if it was "auntie") at least eleventh dream day and the best parts of the mekons are still in (along with some guys called "superchunk") i will be pissed if 11thdreamday gets rained out

Seems they found some white stuff in the West Wing this week. The original was by JJ Cale but most know the Clapton version better.
