Colin Hay was great last night at the Saban in Beverly Hills.
His fans are total nerds, and not in a good way. Shut the fuck up and let the man talk and play. He shut em down in one instance by saying effectively the same thing. In another, when some asshole started to try to clap on the one, he stopped and pointed out that he'd rearranged the song to make it difficult to clap to. There were other behaviors to rant about, but a general lack of etiquette wasn't enough to derail a great show.
Anyway, very funny man, and I had no idea he could shred guitar that hard.

Setzer lives (or at least lived) in Minneapolis. He was very nice to us fans who accosted him

Local roaster has a blend branded "Bitches Brew" so now a formative album will be freaking out the dogs for the next couple of hours. Just love this damn album… So evocative of mystery and the mystical.
I would strongly recommend Miles Davis' autobiography as well, it is fascinating, in turns hilarious, inspiring, and tragic, and definitely you can hear his raspy voice narrating the thing as you read it. He, like another of my favorites, Frank Zappa, was so visionary and so good at assembling and motivating the talent needed to realize his vision.

Betty Davis….

She rules. I learned about her on season 2 of Mike Judge's brilliant series "Tales From the Tour Bus" (a must for music lovers: first season did outlaw country, second did funk. I bought each season from YouTube for $20 a pop, 10 episodes–well worth it because you can always screen them for guests and they never get old).

And some hippie outlaw shit (maybe my favorite anecdote from either season where nobody gets shot)

Great tune @Stuart.T ! Personally i think cocaine is highly overrated.

Troubadour is a go-to album for wifey and me. Great for romantic vibes.
They loved their whiskey, cocaine, AND pills. It's interesting, they said Willie would fire people for doing the devil's dandruff, and Waylon for doing the devil's lettuce. Look who's still here!

Yeah that is very strange isn't it lol. I think the pot is what's keeping Willy alive and performing at 86 years old !
I'm going to give that album a listen… haven't really listened to a whole lot of johnny p.

This guy is pretty decent. This is a great country cover of my favourite RHCP track.

The Trilogy…a shame he couldn't have brought the Meters and Lowell George to the Cap to fully replicate the album lineup.
