Keyboardist/bassist/vocalist/drummist, autodidact, intergalactic wiseguy, and overall bad influence. Beaming from Tacoma, WA.

I have a solo recording project called "Shades Below", in which I play all the instruments (keyboards/bass/drums). Looking for a lyricist to help take them to the next level.

THE WHO: "John's Birthday Party".
Oakland Coliseum, October 9, 1976. Great show where they're opening for the Grateful Dead (this is the first of two shows).

Screenshot from the "Sgt. Pepper" movie from 1978 (you know, the one with the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton in it). This is from a scene where a bunch of newly-minted evil recruits are being "programmed" to take over the world.

Not me, or one of my own....but now we know!

I'd watch a spinoff based on this idea. Imagine a group of paranoid tweakers with a crackhound taking apart old fridges and scrounging for copper wire.

It’s beautiful how the internet has come together to collectively hate a woman for stealing a baseball from a child at a Phillies game….now, if we had that same energy for other and meaningful things in society, we could be unstoppable.

Saw this on FB, which reads kinda funny, since he was actually in the band. It could almost read if he were the opening act, with an orchestra behind him...now, that would have been epic!

The way he's going, I wonder if we'll "double our money" on Labor Day!

Happy Birthday to Steve Martin!
This was an insert that came in his "Wild & Crazy Guy" album, suitable for framing. We did just that, way back in the early '80s. A couple of visitors to the house who weren't aware of him actually asked us if that was some weird relative of ours!

The U.S. Senate has dropped the hammer: Trump must release the full Epstein files by August 15th. He can stall, spin, and scream all he wants—but the truth is coming, and there's no stopping it now.

Tick-tock, old man.

We can only wonder if he'll resign, defy orders, or cash out by then.

I saw this photo of Ozzy's funeral procession earlier today...and that guy in the light-blue denim jacket sure reminded me of somebody, if you don't look too hard. ;)

R.I.P. Dave Edmunds
You may know him as being a kind of '50s-style rocker, but check out the two albums he did with Love Sculpture, not to mention their lightning-fast rendition of "Sabre Dance". The first album's a straight Blues album, the second was more of a psych/prog-type album.

The most memorable thing about Hulk Hogan is that he was once a sports role model. He claimed it. He owned it. He did PSA's. And the world was at his command.
And after an embarrassingly failed bid for movie-stardom, he decided to become a bootlicking racist fascist loser has-been.

R.I.P. Ozzy Osbourne
Wow...didn't think I'd be writing that down anytime soon...oddly enough, he just played his final show a couple-few weeks ago...at least he got to do that.
Gotta say, I've been listening to Black Sabbath since the age of four, when their albums seemed to be playing a lot

THE KINKS: "To The Bone"
Underrated 2-CD set released back in 1996, which was a hybrid collection of live material mixed with an acoustic-driven studio session with a small audience, as well as some other semi-acoustic performances.
