HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HERMIT!

Does anyone know these bands? Am I right in assuming the Rolling Stones could've blown half these limp-wristed poseurs off the stage?

And why is fiber such a big deal?

Caught the new Doors Classic Albums on VH1 and let me just say that John Densmore remains the biggest douche, Robby Krieger the sweetest burnout and Ray Manzarek the biggest blowhard in rock. Jim Morrison remains dead. I haven’t been able to listen to these guys since I played them for 377 consecutive days in my junior year of high school, but I thought 20 plus years was enough time to clear the memory gears and refresh the ears. Wasn’t as bad I expected. Still thin, but Morrison’s voice resonates, and more is going on beneath it than I gave ‘em credit for. The end is still only for teenagers, but I enjoyed this trip down memory lane. Now if we could only find Robby a new dye man...

Looking to compensate myself for a week's suffering from an evil procedure, I mosied on down to Issues and delightedly found all vinyl 15 bucks or less on sale for ten. Picked up some Captain Beefheart, a couple of Curtis Mayfields, a Kraftwerk and Black Sabbath's Paranoid. I almost grabbed fifteen James Brown records but Amy tugged on my shirt and begged, "Daddy, please save some money so I can have food." Get on down there and grab some Sun Ra or Thelonious Monk or Electric Prunes while they last and then head on over here. I'm five days childless.

More on dope, rock n roll and the south of France

Shaft is dead.
