So where do you go when you need a place to air out that tye dye? I’ve picked my […]

Shatner loves Lucy

No. I do not have a fixation with Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, however when the Great One - William Shatner - shares his…unique… talent with us on one of the great hippie songs, I am helpless but to obey.

kaleidoscope eyes

You’ve got to love a band with its own cartoon — yes, I’ll get to the Archies at some point, just not today. The post from yesterday with the girl with colitis got me thinking about Lucy and digging in YouTube for a little sumthin’ sumthin’ for y’all.
Enjoy the show-

Sunday monkeys…

So I’m sitting here singing along with my favorite radio channel - WHPY - when CCR pops on with Bad Moon Rising. My daughter wanders in just in time for me to sing out, “theeeere’s a bathroom on the riiiiiiiight”! Yes, I know that’s not the correct lyrics but after all these […]

Take these broken wings

I love covers. I love the original even more but sometimes a slight tweak can make a big difference to a great song or transform a mediocre song into one you can’t get out of your head (in a good way). One of my favorite songs is Blackbird by the Beatles. This […]

Currently Listening To… Let It Be

I’ve decided that my favorite Beatles look was during the Let It Be period. They had a lot of looks, many kind of kooky. But I think that they all look good on the Let It Be LP; rare. Paul’s hair is a little weird but I’ll let it fly.
Yes, it’s 4am and I’m […]

The Top Ten 60s & 70s Vinyl Albums for Island Life

Sometimes I think I take these lists too seriously. I just keep thinking now how much it would honestly suck to be marooned on a desert island with just 10 albums.
I started with a list of oh, right around 50 or so albums brewing in my mind and had to whittle that down to 10.
It […]

Cool Threads for Small Hippies

I think that we sort of hope our kids like the music we do — it would make things easier. Six year old Cedar does like my music, to a point. He likes Joni (thank goodness), Bob Marley, and some others but I think he could do without the Beatles and Sublime. Still, it wasn’t […]

Ever Get A Song Stuck in Your Head?

I do. Seriously, I’ve been singing this for three days straight. The turmoil must end. I love this song but it won’t leave my head! Soon I might explode.
I blame the fact that I recently watched The Royal Tenenbaums.
That said — this is a great video of this tune. For once all the Beatles look […]

Help! Is Coming Soon

Is this the year of the Beatles? Everywhere I look — Beatles. Never before seen Beatles photos up for auction, the amazing looking Across the Universe, and now Help! coming to DVD.
Help!; corny, goof-ball, a bit off the charts plot wise? Yes, yes, and yes. But come on — you need the DVD in your […]
