It's not the Crack of Doom, Audrey, but it's a start.

[Click to View YouTube Video] Jimi telling it like it is to Chaz Chandler.
"See, I don't want to get caught up in those kids of labels...For me it's colors.
I want people to feel the music the same way I see it.
You know, it's just colors: the rest is just painted with science fiction here and there.
I don't want to freak you out--it's early."

SONOMA FIRST TIMER
SONOMA, Calif. -- The downside to being one of the young faces of NASCAR is that Chase Elliott, 20, had to drink water instead of wine in Victory Lane following his win at Sonoma Raceway in Saturday's K&N Pro Series West Chevy's Fresh Mex 200.
It didn't seem to matter as Elliott glugged from the crystal goblet and saluted the fans after his first road-course win since 2013 in the NASCAR Camping World Truckk Series at Canadian Tire Motorsport Parkk.
After all, the main goal for Elliott on this day was getting repetitions around the 1.99-mile track in preparation for Sunday's Toyota Save Mart 350 (3 p.m. ET, FS1, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). Winning was just an added bonus.
"Just getting reps, getting laps, I hope that helps," Elliott said. "Obviously, the cars are very different. You aren't going to run 60 laps on one set of tires tomorrow. Different, definitely different, but hopefully getting the laps will help."
After running in the top five for much of the second half of Saturday's race, Elliott found himself in position to pass Noah Gragson with three laps to go. The two cars made contact in Turn 7, but after a couple anxious moments Elliott took over the lead and drove away for the win.
"I didn't expect to get a run on him up there," Elliott said. "Looked like he got a little bit more of the curve than he wanted to in (Turn) 4 and it washed him up a little wider than he wanted to go, I think, and it kind of opened the door for us to have a run."
Before that Elliott spent much of the second half of the race in third or fourth place, waiting for the perfect time to make his move. That wasn't by accident.
"I didn't want those guys to push me any harder than I was going," Elliott said. "I just felt like it was such a long ways to go, they were all racing kind of hard and kind of rooting each other up out of the way, and I didn't really want any part of that."
As a result, Elliott led only nine of the 64 laps in a race that featured nine cautions, including one at the green flag that involved Todd Gilliland. Gragson led the most laps at 34, but he didn't lead the most important one at the finish. Elliott's winning margin was 2.336 seconds.
Can Elliott turn water into wine Sunday and walk away with his first Sprint Cup win? That remains to be seen. He will start 16th on Row 8 next to Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson.

That kid had dog years. Early on I watched him picking his battles and biding his time, settling in around fourth or fifth spot, as he let the competition wear out their stuff trying to lead. Ten laps from the finish I told Mrs bushman, "You watch, that kid's gonna be working his way to the front at around five or six laps to go!" That's a hard thing to do at Sonoma. Future champion material, that one.
We've already got our sunburn started for today at the Sprint Cup race.

The view was not quite that good this morning from under the eaves on the ladder!
I did not pay a visit to the rooftop...I've pushed my luck far enough with the chances of being seen and reported to the management.
Enjoy the merry-go-round, Tim. Not my cuppa, though.
Throwpie might like to join ya, however.

For going fast, this was from my heading far enough north to have seen the narwhals of truth
all roads lead back to what if, Jimi?
[Click to View YouTube Video]
I just read some where? That watching Jimi , watch Ravi Shankar tear it up, leaving blossom's of new sounding riffs . That along with Breaking open the minds of the
power group of musicians assembled. It was said that Jimi perceived that
there was a deeper level of mastery
of the medium, that only comes after decades.
I wish I could link to what it wazzzzzzzzzzz? It was for sure from following a ' z' link?
Ravi Shankar concert?
the Fab Four ? or just Sir Geroge? And Lonnie Mack, ? I don't know?
Road house blues ? NO !,,,,,,Then wait that Sitar virtuoso ?

Goddamitt! They can now officially trash all B3 organs. Bernie Worrell was the only dude that didn't annoy the sh#t out of me with that instrument. Without him they are useless.
And yes, I understand the implications of that statement. F*#k the Doors.

Around the World in Eighty Three Years
Riding the jet stream I'm way off course this starry night
Colliding with an obstacle at twenty eight thousand feet
I jettisoned my burning gondola at 5500 hours
Duct taping my feet and hands to the weather balloon straps
I tried not passing out while gaining altitude
But wriggling to be free
I played a Bach cantata in my head
As I'm plunging back to earth above North Korea
And I'm so, so, very cold
If my chute ever opens I'll see you some day maybe
With the flash and I hear the pop of small arms fire
As it greets me from below
Well maybe I'll see you in twenty five years
I'm lucky I'm not wounded yet
But the beatings might kill me
Before hard labor takes its toll
I should only be eighty three when they set me free
An expat American
With his hard luck stir fry stand on the streets of Shanghai
Waiting for my family reunion
I'll be fluid in French and Mandarin by then
Maybe I won't ever come back
But if they put candles in their window
And a spirit dwells within me
I'll come home

I feel your pain
Mine starts in my ears
And then it appears
In my eyes filled with tears
It may get better with years.
It's too bad he's gone
He's sung his swan song
And he's moving along
To join Jimmy Smith in a bong.
Jimmy Smith - The Cat
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaKLB71QE4k
But he won't be joining Al Kooper--he's still alive, at least.
And Al Kooper--what about this master, now 72, who goes back to Blood, Sweat, and Tears and Points Beyond?Al used to have to wear a T-shirt which read, "It's Al, not Alice."
This Alice Cooper fella made it tough for this Al Kooper fella to get gigs.
It's not hard to understand his chagrin.
You work your ass off, sweating, bleeding, and crying and what happens?
Some punk comes along and "borrows" your name!
F*#K sake! How do the doggies get fed? How do you drive to your next gig, even?

Do the NoKoreans know about "good time?"
Ha-ha-ha, running-dog dog-lover! We have you now, Capt. Gunk.
Words cannot save you, Imperialist skunk-smelling sky-flotsam!
You stink! And what's this--your feet do not match?
You disgust me!!!!!
I am throwing this red book at you--it's an English version.
It is the distilled essence of the gist of the thoughts of our highly-favored leader, Kim John Eel, "The Slippery One."
You have twenty-five years to make it work for you.
