Hippie Sounds

June 8th, 2008

Have yourself a hippie little birthday

Hippie birthday cake by PinkCakeBoxMy birthday is coming up at the end of the month.  Don’t ask my age, let’s just say it starts with a 4 and ends with an 0-MY-FREAKIN-GOD.  So, to cheer me up, I went looking for an appropriate cake.  I’m crazy for the tye dye fondant!

But what’s with the dude in the fro?

Lyric game: this’ll have you humming all day

You know the routine: artist and song title please!

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV ?
Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
So oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV ?

Danceoff: Bee Gees vs. Faith No More - I started a joke

I’m getting my groove on with the Bees Gees this afternoon. I know they’re dorky and have the oddest haircuts in music history (sorry Bowie, you can’t outdo Barry’s do) but there’s just something about this song. THEN to have Orlando Bloom sing it onstage was something I didn’t expect - who knew?

So who does better with this classic? The Brother’s Gibb or the pirate?

I CAN’T GET NO - NO NO NO —- Good lord, what is wrong with their HAIR?

Video: Hendrix - Fire

I’ve got a little Guitar God thing going on today. I think it’s my overwhelming failure at Guitar Hero that’s nagging at me…

The Museum at Bethel Woods aka Woodstock Museum opens June 2, 2008

Time to drag out your ticket stubs and head back to the muddy fields of Bethel, New York, this summer! The Museum at Bethel Woods opens tomorrow to revel in its pharmaceutically-enhanced past and share the real meaning of three crazy days of music, hope and really really good…fill-in-the-blank. The museum is part of a larger Center for the Arts encompassing more concert venues, classrooms and theater as well as the famous slope used for the famous Woodstock Music and Art Fair of 1969.

Feeling the love, Sens. Hillary Clinton and Charles Schumer attempted to have the federal government earmark $1 million dollars towards the museum last fall. It was shot down in part by party pooper Senator John McCain and the money was shelved. Partially funded by the state with $15 million dollars, its true benefactor is local, Alan Gerry, who seeded the center with $85 million dollars. And the feds couldn’t kick in a measly million?

Ringo Starr gets down with his bad self June 21st with the Steve Miller Band and Joe Cocker playing the center July 13th, how are ya gonna top that?
