RAR TRACKS:

MINE YOURS & OURS: That Christmas shot above is a far cry from what is presently happening in the streets of Cairo, Greece, and even Sweden. Here is a plea for a global reset narrated against the awful news that has become the soundtrack of our lives. PLEASE PLAY LOUD ENOUGH TO WAKE THE NEIGHBORS.

NO MATTER WHAT SHE SAID: We have this cat, a Snowshoe Siamese, who my wife named "Magnolia Thunder Pussy" after a '60s San Francisco radio spot, and who came to us as a replacement for our dear deceased cat "Gary Gilmore", also named by my wife. (One can imagine the psychological damage or purr enlightenment the children have endured.) Anyway, "Maggie" was a rescue cat, plucked from the Stanford University campus by a student who found her injured, starving, alone; a refugee from God knows what. Maggie grew to the size of a house living in the student's apartment, but upon graduating Maggie's student-savior had to give her up to move wherever Stanford graduates move to, so she put Maggie on Craigslist and my wife brought this fat cat home. She slimmed down, given some room to roam, and is now a much different cat from that which she was when she came to us - accept for her monotonic meow. I have no idea what this cat is saying. It may be "hello"; it may be "there is a tarantula on your head", I don't know, it all sounds the same. I assume her issues in this song. PLEASE PLAY LOUD SO I CAN CLAIM THIS ON MY RESUME AS A BROADCAST PRODUCTION.

Al Kooper

Al Kooper has been a key contributor to American music for most of our lifetimes; like the engine under the hood of a purring culture-mobile. He has cruised in every gear, from the 1958 novelty hit "Short Shorts" (The Royal Teens), and his 1965 pop classic "This Diamond Ring" (Gary Lewis and the Playboys), through the 1965 emergence of Folk-Rocker Bob Dylan on the groundbreaking LP Highway 61 Revisited LP. And then there were his further explorations with Mike Bloomfield and Stephen Stills (1969's Super Sessions). He was off and running at a really young age and he doesn't seem to be finished.

CivilDefenseSpot

Kanaal van CivilDefenseSpot on YouTube.com is one of those destination sites that make you appreciate the wonder of the World Wide Web. Where else could you hear this stuff, be reminded of what fearless talent sounds like, and maybe be reminded that even the Louvin Brothers could see that Atomic Energy was a huge leap into the abyss for mankind.

Ray Manzarek (d. 2013)

Ray Manzarek annoyed a lot of people with the ease of his self-assurances that he was as important to the music of The Doors as was Jim Morrison. Add in Robbie Kreiger and Jon Densmore and he was most certainly right. Read More
