On this date in 1994, my homegirl Grace Slick pleaded guilty to pointing a shotgun at police outside her California home. At her trial Grace said she was under stress due to the fact that her home had burned down the year before. She was sentenced to 200 hours of community service.Crazy chick. I love her, though. We have some very appropriate downloads to mark the day here.
I'm supposed to be writing a proposal for a final research due yesterday, but going through all those books depressed me, thinking undergrad will be done in less than a month and I haven't even started my final projects. Can't wait till friggin grad school, how sweet will it be to do research I actually like. Anyways, I put on a Jefferson Airplane CD to calm me down while facebooking/stalking-p...
When I was growing up I remember car rides with my dad. He would either be playing jazz in his car or have some classic rock station on. I would be sitting in the back seat and a song would come on and I would instantly know the tune of the song, but not the words. My dad would hear me humming and turn around and go, "how do you know this song?" To tell you the truth I have no idea, it's like s...
*Jess Horrible* ran across "*an ad for $250 "iPod ready" jeans*":http://mog.com/Jess_Horrible/blog_post/49747 from Levi's, ehich is a scary concept.This in turn led me to recall a 70s girlfriend with her "all areas access" or "seal-a-meal" (not-Levi's) jeans that zipped all the way from front waist to back waist with a single zipper...And the Levi's print ad for button-fly jeans that had one li...
This is definately just a song I put on when my friends and I are kicking back and mellowing/tripping out. It makes me wish I was born in 1946 opposed to 1986 so I could experience the 60's in San Francisco. Actually, I wish that all the time. I've been looking for a guitar tab (not that I could actually play it), but haven't been able to find one. Jorma Kaukonen's guitar is seriously out of th...
I watch about a concert every other day. There are some hallmark performances and some dismal ones. But if I ever saw anything close to this, I'd be reduced to tears or drop to my knees kutowing. Let me know if you know an artist out there today that compares to this live.....(Hung-over Glastonbury folks I am looking at you)Till then, I send out a little reminder and bit you to enjoy on this tu...
I'm in the middle of writing a story on Jefferson Airplane for a Mojo Summer Of Love magazine special and to stay in the mood I'm listening non-stop to various live concerts. I've been wallowing in freeform rockin' out as they make a rapid ascent from their rock-folk-blues beginning towards a free-flowing rush of sound, veering into intense, heady byways in the middle of songs before turning on...
Tonight was Mormon New Year's Eve, so Melissa and I spent a lovely evening with another family that we like very much, eating snacks, playing games, and swapping stories. One of the games we played was called Wit's End, which I hadn't heard of before, but enjoyed quite a bit; I'm a total geek for trivia games. Anyway, the following question came up:Odd 1 OutWhich of the following is +not+ the t...
