The Last Bass Outpost

Yes, it was 4 decades ago & still seems pretty fokkin amazing!
There's some pretty cool memorabilia to be had.
Cool to see some of the bands that didn't make it to the movie.
Mountain was good:



Just found out tonight that Corky Laing was just their roadie at Woodstock!

I went to the West Coast version which was not even half the people.
Newport '69 @ Devonshire Downs in Northridge, California was a 3 day festival too.
It was weak tho. Saw Hendrix but he SUCKED. He'd gotten busted just before going on & was stoned out & weirded out. Alas
I saw the movie 10 times tho with all my friends & girlfriends from school.
My bud Steve who's the guitarist in my 2 bands saw it all.
He said MOUNTAIN was his fav next to Hendrix!!
I have the whole Hendrix set on video. Highly recommended

Post your fav lyrics! Can be just a line or the whole song.
I'm gonna start with a whole song. Youtube clips are good to add if you can find 'em.

A Martyr For My Love For You by Jack White & John Anthony

She was sixteen and six feet tall
in a crowd of teenagers comin' out of the zoo
She stumbled started to slip and fall
teeter-tottered on the top of patent leather shoes
I happened to catch her and said,
"Maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you"

Maybe for you, now

But not as shaky as I must have seemed
talkin' junk through her giggle -- little teenage dream
And on the phone I could not compete
my dumb-love fake competence was getting weak
For a sec' I thought I sounded sweet
but sure 'nough in a gruff, faint voice
I heard myself speak

I could stay a while
but sooner or later I'd break your smile
And I could tell a joke
but one of these days you'd be bound to choke
And we could share a kiss
but I feel like I can't go through with this
And I bet we could build a home
but I know the right thing for me to do
Is to leave you alone

Leave you alone, now

I'm beginning to like you
so you probably won't get what I'm going to do
I'm walkin' away from you
it probably don't make much sense to you
But I'm trying to save you
from all of the things that I'll probably say or do

Probably do

I could stay a while
but sooner or later I'd break your smile
And I could tell a joke
but one of these days you'd be bound to choke
And we might share a kiss
but I feel like I can't go through with this
And I bet we could build a home
but I know the right thing for me to do
Is to leave you alone

Leave you alone, now

You probably call me a fool
and say I'm doin' exactly what a coward would do
And I'm beginning to like you
it's a shame; what a lame way to live
But what can I co
I hope you appreciate what I do

I'm a martyr for my love for you
A martyr for my love for you, now
A martyr for my love for you
A martyr for my love for you

Just saw TRANSFORMERS Rise of the Fallen & it was better than the first one!

Saw posters for Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland already but it ain't comin' til 3-5-10 !

Previews of Public Enemies look real goood. Depp as Dillinger!

Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards stars Pitt & looks intriguing:

Numero Uno for me is Scatterbrain's Don't Call Me Dude--it's not only clever but pretty good an' HEAVY ROCK.
Here's the video that got Heavy Rotation on Mtv:



Got to meet Scatterbrain one day in '91 when they walked into a little cafe on Hollywood Blvd. where I often had breakfast.
I pointed at the singer & said "Dude!"
He pulled his hair & made like he was goin' nuts & said "Dude? DUDE?"
Pretty FUN! Btw~ Their 2nd album was called BIG FUN...it wasn't so good or fun.

Here's anuzza hilarious one off their 1990 cd Here Comes Trouble:

How did they get away with using all those famous riffs? Couldn't they have been sued for that?
If not, it's a clever way to use all those riffs from covers they learned to make their own cool song!!!!!

Happy Memorial Day! Summer really begins today tho to some it ain't official til next month.
I'll be celebratin' by hittin' the beach...

Remember The Heroes

Have a good one & stay safe

Paul Rodgers & Queen have parted ways & now Bad Co. has reformed with Paul Rodgers singing & Simon Kirke on drums & Mick Ralphs on guitar & keyboards!!!
Also on guitar is Howard Leese--THE Howard Leese who ROCKED with Heart for over 30 years.
Lynn Sorensen on Bass
Check out his site- www.lynnsorensen.com
He seems very cool & qualified to fill Boz Burrell's shoes tho he doesn't play fretless. Oh well

So far just 10 east coast gigs are lined up.
