NYC Snow has arrived!!!

                                                                                                      #SNOWDAY2021❄️

                                                         

The Dissident and filmmaker Bryan Fogel.

Bryan's brother Glen Fogel was the first person to curate and give me a solo show at 'Collective Unconscious' in Lower Manhattan for my experimental work at his Robert Beck Memorial Cinema Screening Series years ago, which opened the door and led to my MoMA exhibition - thus I am forever grateful to the Fogel family filmmaking bloodline. Please try to watch Bryan's powerful new documentary, exposing the Saudi/U.S. cover-up of the murder of Washington Post writer Jamal Khashoggi at the Turkish embassy. The film is titled, 'The Dissident' and it's now streaming on AMAZON PRIME. Watch it, and keep in mind that due to a fear of a Saudi retaliation (i.e. murder) no film distribution company is willing to distribute this new documentary, to date. Scary huh. bye.  P.S. Bryan won an Oscar for his last film 'Icarus' about the Russian doping scandal which can be seen today on NETFLIX. bye again.

A Neverending U.S. Lockdown Even With Vaccines.

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it 'til my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Joey quit, Janey got married
I should've known, we'd never get far

Oh, when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you've got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you, yeah

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Oh, yeah!
Back in the summer of '69, oh

Man, we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever
Forever, no!
Yeah!

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about you, wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that it'd last forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Oh, yeah!
Back in the summer of '69
Oh!
It was the summer of '69
Oh, yeah!
Me and my baby in '69
Oh!

It was the summer
The summer
The summer of '69
Yeah!                                           

 bye!

                      

RIP Cloris Leachman.

All Shook Down.

 

I remember driving' home after seeing Paul Westerberg supporting this Replacements album 'All Shook Down'. I left after that show at The Boathouse driving in a terrible thunderous rainstorm, my wipers died on my car as I left the show so I had to stick my hand out of the driver's window and manually control my windshield wipers by hand as I drove home. I got home an hour later drenched, but alive. Somehow. It was a crazy situation, and Bob Stinson (RIP) woulda been proud. Yeah, this album ain't no 'Sorry Ma, I Forgot To Take Out The Trash' album, but it's a class act. And, what a fuckin' great album cover with the rainy street dogs. 

                                            good memories --good times--pre Covid. 

                                                                 bye.

Lil drummer boy.

             Didn't know how much I missed playing drums until I started playing them again. 

             It's really bizarre how true 'old habits die hard' really is. Loving ever beat to the fullest.
