GG wrestled Leonard Skinner and kicked his butt (his hair was perfect - obviously Leonard's wasn't).
I’m listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound
Someone’s always yelling turn it down
Feel like I’m drifting
Drifting from scene to scene
I’m wondering what in the devil could it all possibly mean?

I JUST NOTICED THAT THIS THREAD IS UNDERPERFORMING (POSTS LESS THAN 5000) AND IT IS NOW ADDED TO THE WATCHLIST. IF THE PEOPLE POSTING HERE CANNOT PERFORM TO the STaNDARD that has been set by our committee, IT MAY WELL BECOME A CANDIDATE FOR THE DREAD DELETION. EITHER THAT OR THE DREAD LOCKS. I'M NOT CERTAIN WHICH.

Just trying to keep up my end of the load, I'll report on an interesting phenonmen I have observed. First, however, I'll ask, do any of our intrepid readers get asked frequently for directions on how to get somewhere or where such-and-such is located?
Some folks are much more inclined to be asked for directions than others. I fall into this group. UC Berkeley, Laguna Beach, Balboa Park, The Yosemite National Park, Imperial Beach, Ensenada, Stinson Beach, Mt. Tam ... folks are inclined to walk up and ask.
I have never really attempted to catalogue the inquirers, but I always respond with very good directions, usually incorporating a "if you get to X, then you've gone too far" postulate.
Fortunately, I rarely get asked "where you from?", though I have encountered more than a few "you lookin' at me's", having spent a lot of time in the SouthWestern segment of the USA.
As a corollary, I was quite frequently able to just walk into concerts and other entertainment venues by appearing "to belong there".
Did you attend the "Linda Ronstadt/Stone Poneys Concert?" The free concert? Why yes I did.
BTW, whatever became of Waddy (not Deddeh, Wachtel)?
Linda at thirty-something looks almost as good as Chele at 68.

Fake Blues"
Just last year seems so long
When I used to live alone
Now I sell sh#t on the phone
'Cause I don't wanna live at home
Uh oh
Well it's not as if I choose
To be settled with these fake blues
But your worries ain't so different from my own
Though I'm far more accident prone
People ask me for my name
But this number's just the same
If this all is just a game
I have only myself to blame
Uh oh
Well it's not as if I choose
To be settled with these fake blues
But I gotta find a reason to write this song
And I won't be here for long

Dan, the Steel Man, challenged me. WTF!

Big Blonde Lovers, there's a party going on inside, apparently.
At least she isn't in the same league as VS.

In the blink of an eye, there go I.
And before I can cry, "I'm gone,"
I am,
In the blink of an eye.

Rawn, The Doors perceive and sing, "POOF!"
You do not get out alive. The well-known blurs lyricist, Y.B. Trite, once he got famous, said,
"If you get out and about, gal, you'll be out on parade.
You be sittin' at home, gal, you sho' ain't gettin' paid."
"Early this mo'nin'...
I jus' couldn't be satisfied.
But I never said I could.
So please forgive me, baby,
For my lack of wood."

That's rowdy.

I refuse to pollute our good friend Fritz's thread.
I can let out my own gaseousness here.

Lynyrd Skynyrd's name is a mock tribute to a HS gym teacher who hated long hair.[Click to View YouTube Video]High School is not where you go to learn rock climbing, at least not in the seventies it was not.
I picture today's ideal gym class as a climbing wall filled with gym shorts-clad geeks with ear pods, listening to their grampa's old faves: Lynyrd Sknynyrd, Captain Beefheart, Q.S.M., or somethin' like it.
"You can idealize your own grandson on your own time, 'Mouse,' but RIGHT NOW, wake the hell up and give me twenty! Do it! Then get your skinny little gangster butt up that wall!
I WANT YOU TO GET UP AND SEND 'ER, BOY!
Then do laps on it the rest of the day.
DO IT NOW, PUNK!
And get that hair cut, GOLL-DAMMIT!"
"Why, certainly, Mr. Foreskinner," says the young man in the gold gym shorts. "But first, sir, let me apologize for my nodding off there during your fascinating lecture on Mr. K's breathing techniques.
And let me say, too, before I send, that it's hard to believe it's so simple to breathe when you climb by taking in air and then letting it out, taking it in, letting it out, breathing in through the nose, expelling CO2 out through the nose, in and out, in and out, in, out, in, out...just like last night with Mrs. Foreskinner.
See, that's why I was nodding off, not because your presentation sucked, even though a child of ten could do it better."
"What? WHY YOU...splutter-splut-splut...YOU LITTLE SCRAWNY...choke-ch-choke & gettin' redder and redder in the face...YOU GOT TWO MOVES, BUSTER! Then I'm gonna...snarl, bluster, splut-splut-splut..."
Gary Rossington, LS guitarist, left High School over the long hair issue.

The FFF Award (with Middle Phalanx) is hereby presented to you, Young Dan, for your good sense in buying that concert ticket and for your incredible luck in being able to live in LA and thereby having access to this concert.
Yes, you've earned the award, YOU SMART-ASS, RUB-IT-IN-MY-FACE CHOSS-HUGGER!
I haven't really been to a concert in OVER forty years, so I'm just blowin', guys.
I'll take what I can
A second-class band
It could be from Japan
Or even from old Poland
Long as they swing
Don't mean a thing
Make me want to sing
Ding-a-ling ding-a-ling

Bottom line, and here it comes...
Daniel, does your conscience bother you?
I think I'd be tempted to tell of my good fortune, actually, so "Good on you!"
One of my favorite phrases...heh.
