The Last Bass Outpost

If you have any interest in the Doors this is a pretty good way to spend 20 minutes. I knew some of these names (as will you), but not all. It covers a bunch of other players who contributed to the band's recordings and later live performances. 

What a GREAT sounding bass (we already knew how great it looks)! You're a true artist, my friend.

Absolutely beautiful! That should take pride of place in his collection. We need sound clips!

In this day and age, with unlimited internet access, even as a 17-year-old, if you are recruited and invited to "row zero", asked to "dress sexy", "not bring any male friends" and then "join Till after the show at the hotel" you should have a grasp that sex will be part of the expected transactional currency (and I have no issues with girls or women doing that, you can have given Till a blowjob in his compartment under the stage as a far-out experience and still be a great mother or win a Nobel prize in physics in your later life).

Wait. He likes girls? I have never gotten anything but an uber-absolutely-not-straight vibe from that band (not that there's anything wrong with that). I guess you can learn something new every day!

None of this says anything about the fact whether Philips/the administrator have a case against Juskiewicz and Berryman or not.

Exactly.

Sounds and looks great!

I think that bird sounds great! I guess I need to try some flats on one of mine.

Nice looking P. I like how it turned out!

I hope Uwe is alright!

If you get asked to sing on Frank Zappa, Marc Bolan and Bruce Springsteen records, you must be doing something right.

And open for KISS. I wasn't there, but my brother in law was. He said they were great, but almost more of a comedy act.

I'll take one!

The new price was probably to cover the improvements. Still a bargain!

Motley Crue would not exist without Mick Mars. Their financial backing and guidance/management came through Mick's connections, and his guitar playing (along with Tommy's drumming) is what made them musically interesting (it certainly wasn't Nikki's playing, even if he was a decent lyricist in that scene). Mick was also the coolest and nicest member of the band (not that that figured into them going anywhere, but it meant the world to at least two fans I know). Mick's being so much older than the others was a sticking point from the very beginning, but they couldn't dump him without dumping everything that came with him. He was far more integral to their initial success than most people outside the band ever knew.

I was way to young to be drafted, but old enough to know many who were and be worried that they could bring it back.

When the first Iraq war hit I remember sitting in my car and feeling grateful that I would be 26 soon, so even if they did restart the draft I would be aged out by the time they got to me. I had to explain all that to my recently turned 18 year old this year when I told him he'd need to send in his selective service card soon (which was untrue, he got a letter shortly thereafter letting him know they'd taken care of it and to update them if his contact info ever changes). No semblance of privacy from the "government" anymore, but I think I calmed his nerves a bit.

Hot damn! What a beauty...
