Frank Zappa and the Mothers were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun burned the place to the ground
When I purchased this double LP in 1973 it was, by far, the hardest rock I had experienced at the time. “Made in Japan” by Deep Purple only has 7 songs including the 20-minute side 4, Space Truckin’. The album was recorded live on the 1972 Japan tour. This was my first Deep Purple purchase, and I was not disappointed.
Large geometric patterns of flattened crops
Britannica defines crop circles as “large geometric patterns of flattened crops, most often found in fields in southern England. Crop circles are said by some who have studied them to be messages from intelligent extraterrestrial life, but many have been proved to be the work of humans”.
It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini
That she wore for the first time today, An itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini, So in the locker, she wanted to stay
“Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini” dominated AM radio in 196o, making Brian Hyland a teen idol in the process. The song hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was a hit around the world. It was written by Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss and first released in June 1960, inspired by Vance’s daughter, who was too shy to wear a bikini in public.
The Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology is one of the largest of its kind in the world, and a highlight of UCL Museum & Collections.
The Petrie Museum is a university museum. It was set up as a teaching resource for the Department of Egyptian Archaeology and Philology at University College London (UCL). Both the department and the museum were created in 1892 through the bequest of the writer Amelia Edwards (1831-1892).
Music from the blood stained organ in the Simmons’ place
The Ghost and Mr. Chicken is a 1966 hilariously scary comedy starring Don Knotts. The music is by Vic Mizzy. The song below is a remake that Donnie found, while we were at Circle Sky, by an unknown artist. It is very groovy, my favorite version.
Attaboy, Luther!
I watched Universal Pictures 1966 comedy/horror film “The Ghost and Mr. Chicken” (for the umpteenth time) on Svengoolie. This movie stars Barney, I mean Don Knotts, as Luther Heggs, the typesetter at the local newspaper. He spends a night in a haunted house, where there had been a murder-suicide, and on this 20th anniversary of the event, witnesses a series of horrifying events. When his story is published by the paper, Luther is a hero but the homeowner, Simmons, sues the newspaper and Luther for liable.
Premiere [pri-meer}] noun
– a first public performance or showing of a television series of shows
Premiere episodes can certainly make or break a TV series. I’ll use these posts to let you know some of the premieres (new and old) that I loved and kept me watching a certain TV show through all the seasons.
There is moonlight and moss in the trees, Down the Seven Bridges Road
There are some songs that were bigger, sometimes a Billboard hit, in their concert recorded version. They may have a studio-recorded counterpart but the live version, in this case, was bigger. I’ll stay away from the ones that have a “fake” live audience. The last criteria, it has to be a favorite of mine.
Why Was Eastern State Penitentiary Considered To Be Hell On Earth?
The Eastern State Penitentiary is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at 2027 Fairmount Avenue between Corinthian Avenue and North 22nd Street in the Fairmount section of the city, and opened its cells in 1829 as the largest building in the U.S. It has been closed since 1971.
On October 20, 1977, only three days after the release of the Street Survivors album, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s chartered Convair CV-300 ran out of fuel near the end of their flight.
This is where I’ll be talking about the Album Art that I like. That is one of the benefits of 12″ vinyl albums, the cool packaging that surrounded the record. Here I’ll research the creations that we all loved as children, teenagers, and adults. I’ll try to find as much information on the artists as I can.
