I went from thinking "damn, he's odd looking" to "damn, i'm in love with him" in one day.
It's primarily his guitar playing and outrageous knowledge of old time blues that caught my attention, not to mention his unmistakable voice.
but i also have a thing for odd, geeky uncomfortable type fella's. died in 1970 at 27. idiot drug user that he was :(

That show last night was great. I was really able to let loose and have a good time. Buddy guy was the opening act, his set was short and kind of disappointing, but the man himself was having a ball. He played longer then he was supposed to, walked through the crowd, said "ahh Shucks" in his hot southern drawl when i gave him a hug. He was having a very good time playing. I never realized how sexual a lot of his songs are, songs that he wrote back in the 60's- he was saying that because of the times and how prudish people were he wasn't able to say exactly what he wanted-but nowadays he just do or say it all. Some of it even made me blush. Guess i'm not the old pervert i thought i was ;)
the audience consisted of many late 30's to late 40's white people, a few native americans(it was on a reservation) and myself. IT got uncomfortable when i saw the same guys drinking their 8th-tenth cup of beer. Drunken rock crowds are always a danger. Some jackass spilled beer down my back and into my seat, so i had to strip down to my camisole tank- to the delight of the guys in the audience.(ick-horny old men are great, i love em'. But horny old extremely drunk men who can't keep their hands or eyes off of me/especially when their angry wives/girlfriends are standing right next to them suck tremendously)
George thorogood was hilarious. He has wonderful stage presence. He really talks to the people, And his totally raunchy-lets all get arrested-who's marriage can i break up-act had me laughing out loud. Between Songs he'd say these catch phrases that i only associate with jackie gleason/ralph kramden. Is he a honeymooners fan? Come on now, how many people will say "how sweet it is" or "and away we go"?
I love how thorogood will take classic folk/blue grass/blues tunes and sort of draws them and and gives them a heavier rock feel.
Makes for some really hot vibes- and some even hotter(dammmnn Hot) guitar solos. George, you can make that slide guitar squeal for me any time, baby.
I wonder how many accidents there were in the parking lot last night, The amount of extremely belligerent drunk people(i saw primarily guys) was saddening. You can't really enjoy a show when your so drunk you have a hard time talking, you can hardly walk and your visions so blurry you can hardly see your own hand.

June 9 Jazz In the 1920's This program features two awesome films made by the enigmatic Dudley Murphy in 1929. You should look him up. There is a recent book out about him. They are Black and Tan with Duke Ellington and St. Louis Blues with Bessie Smith. Also: Eddie Peabody and His College Chums (1928) with Hal Kemp's band, Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet.
Monday 7pm
June 9 Harlem in the Thirties Several of these films are suppressed due to racial content. This a very rare chance to see the greatness in them. Included performers will be Cab Calloway , Duke Ellington, Ethel Waters (in the film Bubbling Over), The Mills Blue Rhythm Band, and others.
Monday 9pm
June 10 Radio Days 1929-1944 All shorts featuring radio stations and people at home listening to radios. Included will be The Black Network (Nicholas Brothers), Cap'n Henry's Showboat (Annette Hanshaw), Cab Calloway (Hi De Ho), Radio Salutes (Ruth Etting), Rudy Vallee, Kate Smith, and others.
Tuesday 7pm
June 10 Vaudeville Deluxe This program is highly recommended by Travis Stewart who wrote "No Applause, Just Throw Money." I screened it for him in NY. It features vaudeville performers, both black and white, from 1928 (Gus Visser, the Man With the Duck) to 1937. You get to see W.C. Fields juggle, Roy Smeck play the uke, rope skippers, singers, Chaz Chase eating everything, and finally, Whitey's Lindy Hoppers with Slim Gaillard and Slam Stewart.

When one travels around the world, one notices to what a extraordinary degree human nature is the same, whether in India or American, in Europe or Australia. This is especially true in colleges and universities. We are turning out, as if through a mould, a type of human being whose chief interest is to find security, to become somebody important, or to have a good time with as little thought as possible
In seeking comfort, we generally find a quiet cornet in life where there is a minimum of conflict, and then we are afraid to step out of that seclusion. This fear of life, this fear of struggle and of new experiences, kills in us the spirit of adventure; our whole upbringing and education have made us afraid to be different from our neighbour, afraid to think contrary to the established pattern of society, falsely respectful of authority and tradition.
There is no need to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning
Religion, politics, society are exploiting you, and you are being conditioned by them; you are being forced in a particular direction. You are not human beings; you are mere cogs in a machine. You suffer patiently, submitting to the cruelties of environment, when you, individually, have the possibilities of changing them.

You're Siddhartha!
by Hermann Hesse
You simply don't know what to believe, but you're willing to try
anything once. Western values, Eastern values, hedonism and minimalism, you've spent
some time in every camp. But you still don't have any idea what camp you belong in.
This makes you an individualist of the highest order, but also really lonely. It's
time to chill out under a tree. And realize that at least you believe in
ferries.
Take the Book Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.
thank you mooncove

I'm very irritated right now!
A friend of mine is house-sitting in this ultra rich, ultra conservative, ULTRA white neighborhood, Last night they went outside to the yard sometime after midnight to smoke a little pot, 20 minutes later they get a call from one of the neighbors. "Hello, this is a courtesy call, i smelled grass in my window, and i want to let you know if i smell it again i'm calling the police" Snobbish people. I'm sure they're stereotyping all pot smokers to be drug dealers and thief's. Not just average joes who work their asses off and want to un-wind with a little cannabis. Some people smoke cigarettes, some people drink and some people smoke weed. It shouldn't be any big deal.
