OK I suggest a new twist to this blog... for all of next week... lets look at cool bass solos....  This song is the French jazz violinist Jean Luc Ponty.. love this album !!... but check out the bass solo starting at 2:28... that's our friend Mr. Randy Jackson.. the judge from American Idol.... and jazz sessions player...  SAAAA==WEEEEEET !!

R.I.P. Abe Vigoda

A lot of deaths the beginning of this year.

This time an actor... known for his role in Godfather and Barney Miller.

Over ten years ago I had a friend that had a web app indicating whether Abe was still alive or not since rumors around his death appeared often.

To the man who's name made it into a Beastie Boys lyric.

"You know I got rhymes like Abe Vigoda"

Ways to get high

Pop Evil... Ways to get high.......    HIGH - IGH - IGH - IGH !!

ORANGE CRUSH !!

I've got my spine I've got my orange rush...

Nice job Broncos !! SUPERBOWL HERE WE COME !!!

Jan 21 1974.... young Doug.. only 10 years old gets Head East - Flat as a Pancake for his birthday...the lucky fugger !! of course he also got Barry Manilow I write the Song too.... and no he not gay... he' happily married....

In tribute to that cold Iowa day.....

Goodbye Glen Frey

Another great passes on.. and will be missed...

Lots of good memories around the Eagles and this song..  Thanks Glen for all the good music... and for putting Winslow Arizona on the map..

Eagles - Heartache Tonight - Live / Rest in Peace, Glenn Frey

One of my all-time favorites. Played it loud to my girls last night when I heard the news of Glenn's passing. I especially love the cadence of,

"We can beat around the bushes,

We can get down to the bone,

We can leave it in the parking lot,

but either way there's gonna

Be A Heartache Tonight, a heartache tonight, I know."



-- break my heart, babe

POLICE ACADEMY (1984) THE BLUE OYSTER "SALAD" BAR

Dedication to Jason: It's Been One Week!

Hoping your first week of the Academy was hot like wasabi!

Look up here... I'm in heaven

Been listening to this song lately.... David Bowie... released on his birthday less than 72 hours before he died...

the first line is "look up here.. I'm in heaven"

Here come da fuzz

Jay.. this goes out to you Buddy... been thinking about you and hope everything is going well since your Jan 11 start.

Here come da Fuzz...

Here come da judge!!

Just back from jury duty.....  I be rejected.... but it did bring back memories of this song.... proof that you can find ANYTHING on youtube.

This is Pigmeat Markham and Here come the judge... not a bad rap for 1968.

David Bowie

One of the most unique guitar riffs in this song.. he wanted something different so he had the guitarist mess up the tuning.. and the end result is awesome.

R.I.P. David Bowie

A little light-heartedness this day when sad news of the death of Ziggy Stardust. He just turned 69 last week.

For the Weekend: Fatboy Slim - Ya Mama [Official Video]

PUSH THE TEMPO! TGIF!

Mötley Crüe - Live Wire (Official Music Video)

And one of my all-time favorite Motley Crue songs!

"Because I'm ALIVE!"

Motley Crue's final show in LA New Years Eve 2015.

Jenny told us about this rollercoaster when they saw The Crue last month... however, around minute 4 the coaster got stuck on New Year's Eve. Funny to hear Tommy banter with the crowd. A little long in length (that's what Pamela said).

Tear in my heart

Is that a tear in my heart?... or a pot hole?.... love the lyric " ... to not use my taxes to fill holes in concrete.

21 Pilots singing A Tear In My Heart..

WE'LL MISS YOU LEMMY

I went to this guy's hotel room in Tokyo at about noon... he was still in his bed. polishing off a bottle of Jack Daniels that he started earlier that morning...

We lost Lemmy Kilmister from MotorHead yesterday..

In tribute to Lemmy..
