PinkPop festival delivers, might need to put that on the bucket list.

In 1989 I was working in LA and happened to be driving on Wilshire when KROQ announced her concert at the Wiltern Theater. Son of a bitch! I was like 3 blocks away and rolled up to the box office at the corner of Wilshire/Western (get it?) in my crappy little 1981 Mazda B2000 pickup and scored 3 front row tickets. But I gave them to a roommate because I was going to Havasu for the very first time...

I have mixed feeling about missing that concert. Havasu changed my life; I saw a Hallett for the first time and for the next 7 years I busted my ass until I could buy a new one in 95. If I didn't blow off that concert, I'm sure I would have gone to Havasu a month or two later. But I never saw Sinead.

And one for Napa!

Funny story. We were at an all inclusive in Mexico 10+ years ago. Four couples, two singles and three teens.
Well, the one single guy and teen boy were singing “ wake up, grab a brush and put on a little makeup” and I didn’t miss a beat. They were pretty impressed. 😁

Love this one.
Everytime I listen to an old GNR song I can’t believe that when I bought the CD back in the day I did it because of Axle not realizing that Slash was the shit that he is and they were him and his guitar playing. 🤘

I wanted to get up and mosh in my living room, but afraid I’m going to break the chair, the TV, my neck…🤘

You know what's great about this vid...notwithstanding the fact the tune is one of the greatest country songs ever; sung by one of the greatest country singers ever; for his momma, in his hometown a the local gig...at the end of the vid, a young kid wearing a Hagar "Red Rocker 83'' tour shirt runs over and shakes her hand. Awesome

Speaking of Sammy, I remember during the Standing Hampton tour he told a story about how, as a young man, he saw Janis Joplin singing her ass off at Monterey(?) and it changed his life...

Decent score, last night at this time I was driving back from San Jacinto with some cool goods I found on OfferUp.

I initially bought a 31-octave graphic equalizer for $50 (sells all day long on eBay for $250), but the guy also had some 36" industrial, but corded, warehouse fans.

Hmmm, yeah those fans would keep the horses cool during the summer, and I also saw he had a pile of records....so I told him I would buy the fans if he gave me the pile of records for $20. Done.

Total Silence of the Lambs situation, but I made it out safely, lol. Only to step on some dog shit as his son and I loaded the fans into the Excursion.

Hah, I thought, I'll just put some gas in the truck and use the window squeegee to wash the dog crap off my boots. But of course I pull into a station with only 1 squeegee, and no sooner than I'm done pumping gas, this tweaker lady rolls up, grabs the squeegee and starts washing her car with it. Her entire fuccin' car. Never seen that before, but that's Hemet for ya'

31 records, Grateful Dead, Blondie, Fleetwood Mac Tusk, Stones Emotional Rescue, 2 Elton John, 3 Donovan records, Jesus Christ Superstar in stellar condition (our second copy), Paul Simon Graceland, Heart, 2 McCartney's, Herb Alpert Rise (was missing that one) and the coveted Dirty Dancing soundtrack.

Nice!
