Billy linked this elsewhere but it relates to other stuff too...

Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

What a great band, Man! Thanks for reminding. And such a lot of interesting links it give. Like the one to the Motors, one of the best powerpop bands with steady rock! Thanks again 4005! And RDB, that Kenny linked to. Completely missed out on them, but what a great listening. Everly Bros with a wall of sound!

I can't believe we've gone 7 pages without this one...



I'm fairly certain this was shot on a Saturday afternoon, when the club was empty.  The headline band played from 2:00 am until 6:00 back in those days.  Night Gallery was easily the most fun club in Chicago back then.

An absolute favorite! Was Night Gallery up in Waukegan or something? I think my sisters may have gone there back in the day.

It was in Park City, just off the west end of Waukegan, south of Washington St.  Down The Street was right next door, but was an entirely different club.

I hope I didn't post this already but here's a nice white Bicentennial. Sami played a lot of Gibsons including a Cardinal Bird as well. Here's one you don't see much, a slotted EB3L:

Nick Garvey from The Motors and, before that, Duck DeLuxe, with a white TB IV.

In the early 70's Chuck Berry started using the duh-duh. duh-duh backing rhythm as a standard concept in his music, no matter how bass and drums had played earlier. And no matter who the bassist, or drummer, was. Always the same. Don't know why, but in my ears it sounded boring as hell.
Anyways, here's an example of what I'm trying to say. Includes a Bird. Though not the kind that Mr Berry is said to spy on in his restaurants ladys room.

Bunch of Brits that started out with hammering power pop riding the punk wave turn Motown! Billy Ocean could have done a lovely version of this. Cute.

chuck tours by himself and picks up a band at each stop. he assumes everyone knows his songs and this duh duh thing you speak of makes it easier?
