Lucas and The Lovelys

Blogousand: Podium

Thousand times we've dragged ourselves to this here ... podium. This is a reject design from a project I was working on recently... The images are tile flooring taken at various NYC location via my cell phone camera. The podium is a sketch.

The REAL Teen Wolf

Chuck Berry is incredible. The more I think about his role and impact in the American musical landscape... well, the more I wanna be him. The guy wrote songs for a few years, vastly influential songs, took them to the road and continues to reap the benefit of their legacy even to this day. His limitations and distinction only make me respect him more.

There were of course a few legal issues.

Recently, while searching for some John & Yoko vids of them hosting British TV shows, I found this performance. It's somewhat known that Lennon idolized Berry and considered him supremo RnR. You can see it in Lennon's demeanor during the interview. You can also see how completely ridiculous Yoko is on stage with them. She's always been a performance artist. Watch for the above screen-shotted "reaction" around the 1:15 mark of Chuck hearing Yoko's "performance art" in his song.



Also, the backing band looks like a group of beatnik, hippie muppets.

6-8 Billion Miracles? Plenty.

Curl up with that someone and go there (hide the scissors).

He Said, He Said

On a recent morning, the journalist Bill Wyman received a UPS package containing a typed manuscript. On reading it, he saw that it seemed to be the thoughts, at some length, of singer Mick Jagger on the recently published autobiography of his longtime songwriting partner in the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards. A handwritten note on an old piece of Munro Sounds stationery read: "Bill: For the vault. M."

Hmmm, given that this is 2010 I'm somewhat skeptical that these are the the actual words and thoughts of Mick's reaction to Keef's new autobiography "Life." Nonetheless I found it an interesting read...

Mick Jagger Responds to Keith Richards About His New Autobiography

...I take the point that professionalism, one's word, rock 'n' roll merriment … these are fungible things in our world. It is a fair charge that I have become less tolerant in these matters over the decades. In our organization, inside this rather unusual floating circus we call home, I am forced into the role of martinet, the one who gets blamed for silly arbitrary rules. (Like, for a show in front of 60,000 people for which we are being paid some $6 or $7 million for a few hours' work, I like to suggest to everyone that we start on time, and that we each have in place a personal plan, in whatever way suits us best, to stay conscious for the duration of the show.)...

It's Only Rock n' Roll, but I Like It

"...rock & roll at its core is merely a bunch of raving shit, its utterly hysterical transience and intrinsic worthlessness the not-quite-paradoxical source of its vitality."

~ Lester Bangs "The British Invasion" from The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock & Roll
