..After last Friday evening-till-right-at-this-second, I've been embroiled in a forced march through the world of editing, I JUST FINISHED!! Woooo! (truth be told, most of the writers I know would rather write the shit and hand it off as opposed to tightening shit up within the boundaries and constraints and guidelines, etc-- BADGES?

Yesterday, we listened to Breakfast with The Beatles on the radio, on the way home from Malibu. This is a show that many have mentioned to me about but never heard it till the drive home on Sunday. It reminded me of Richard Turner's Sunday Morning Beatles show on KSYM in San Antonio. That was the radio show that I listened to during my teens and through my early thirties before I moved away fro...

And here's the charming backstory of it's title from George Harrson's autobiography "I, Me, Mine":"While writing the words we got to the middle part which I call the 'bridge', so I put that on the paper with the words. Eric was sitting opposite me and...
Cream at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY, October 25, 2005.This wasn't Cream quite like most people remember them.

This was Cream for the Eric Clapton crowd: extraordinarily well-put-together, high-level musicianship...

What are the greatest rock riffs? Disraeli Gears has got to be one of the greatest albums, and Sunshine Of Your Love has THE riff. It's a perfect demonstration of the power of Cream as a trio, the heaviness they could put across with just 3 instruments, the beauty of the melody, the artistry of Pete Brown's words, and great singing. Here's the story of the song:Give us a few more suggestions.
The forward-to-new and back-to-basics infection continues to grow in the cubs... So, my son (Kennon) asks the other day "I didn't know Clapton did so much music with so many people?"
