… I hear you on the velvet underground… I bought a 6.3 Mercedes maybe 25 or 30 years ago and I kept fiddling with the Becker Mexico radio which had a marine band on it ..,I was sitting in my driveway and it sounded to me like I heard the clanging or whatever you call those buoy thingies out the ocean so the ships don’t hit them???…In my 55-years, I never listened to Velvet Underground until my daughter turned me onto them....and damn, glad she did! No wonder Lou Reed had so many fans.

.., had a girlfriend who lived just below Sunset Boulevard… I forget the name of the street but just below gill turner liquor…Anyway her apartment was like a four plex and across the hall was this band…the Berlin Bratz… Let me just say that the tension level between that band and myself was a little extreme…bazaar bunch of young punk rockers…
…Really… never heard them play… never heard them practice but there was always a war of words down in the parking lot and somebody was going to kick somebody’s ass …I don’t think it ever happened …I think it was just alcohol talking… not sure if my girlfriend actually knew them…If her brother ever came around they probably recognized him because he had just finished a five year stint with the Rolling Stones…The Berlin Brats release or test pressed a 45. It is one of the holy grails as far as colectabillity in the punk rock world.
…Yes I knew of it… Actually went with my friends in the Southwind and we gave it the once over.., … But the place was so funky I think we moved on to Village Recorders???..,After watching the vid Willie put up, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, a really cool looking documentary about a famous sound stage in the Valley came up, I need to finish watching it, Dave Grohl narrates it.
Willie, did you know this place, Sound City?
40 years ago I was listening to Def Leppard.I have never really been a Metallica fan, and certainly never been even mildly interested in Miley. But damn, this version just hits me hard in some real deep places. I recently heard Dennis Prager say that he felt that Music is one of the proofs that God exists. It is a gift from Him to us. Watch the backstory videos here and learn what went into putting this together, how it affected so many people so powerfully, and bring a hankie.

I watched the Clint Eastwood movie Cry Macho and the song Sabor A Mi by Edie Gorme and Trio Los Panchos was played and I really liked it. So I looked it up on YouTube and found the English translation - it’s a pretty erotic song. Check it out.
It’s a pretty good movie, not great. I watched it again last night and liked it more. I got HBO Max for a month to watch it - it’s still cheaper than going to the movies and there’s no mask police.Cool tune, I imagine it was "out there" when they recorded it way back when.
How was the movie?

In this movie he's an old guy on a road trip with a teenager, they bond and he finds love along the way.I'm a huge Eastwood fan, but the move kind of looks like a rinse and repeat of all the other movies he's directed. I mean, how many times is he gonna punch somebody in the face, lol. Will check it out though.
