Bon Jovi table versus the band table had a nice feel to it, like the Sharks and Jets in Westside Story, except without the dancing. One table is all in for one of the sexiest rockers to ever take the stage. Women love him, men want to be him. The other table worked the moment […]
SHAKEY GRAVES INSIDER FUN
December 13, 2018 by
The last time I saw a touring musician’s guitar go wrong it was The Police and Sting broke a base string and replaced it without missing a beat in the song they played. Afterward he joked that a real band would have stopped and corrected the problem before restarting. In the history of […]
DEAR SASQUATCH! IT DISAPPEARED, BUT I GOT THE PICS
June 29, 2018 by
How can this be the end of Sasquatch!? It was my first time and now it’s over? My impression? I should have signed up earlier, but probably not last year. People camping near us gave a round up of great times. It was their fifth Sasquatch!
Prince in Portland, Prince Forever
June 8, 2018 by
Laying along East Burnside, Prince looked comfortable. We were going to a show at the Doug Fir Lounge and there he was. It took me back to the Tacoma Dome after seeing Purple Rain when it first came out. Who was Prince? Only the anti-Michael Jackson, and back then it seemed a good […]
Life After Luxury Still Means Death, But In Comfort
September 4, 2017 by
Healthway.com posted a hot topic with ‘Doctors Reveal Which Everyday Habits Trigger Aging And Inflammation.’ Hey, where’s the luxury? Aging and inflammation doesn’t sound like luxury. Why?

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE SACRED SIX PACK
October 18, 2016 by
Did Bruce Springsteen grow artistically from bad parenting? Here’s the real question: Did growing up with a dad who smoked ’em when he had ’em, and worked a six pack in the dark, make Bruce Springsteen who is today? His old man was hooked on Camels, or Marlboro’s, or Winstons, and liked to cool them […]
HOW TO GET UP AND GO
June 21, 2016 by
When you feel down, get up and go. Make the call. The best way to beat a down day is to get up and go. It may not change anything, how you feel, where you are, but just knowing you can do it, that you can get up and go, changes things. Call it a […]
FOO FIGHTERS THERAPY
September 15, 2015 by
Do the Foo Fighters Love the Northwest Or Is It A Touring Coincidence? From Walla Walla to The Gorge to Portland in a couple weeks? Yep, they like it here, they really like it. My boys hit the road from Portland to Walla Walla for Gentlemen of the Road. It sounded like a Traveling Wilburys […]
BABY BOOMER RESENTMENT, Con’t
January 12, 2015 by
The Beatles. For all the bands that go on forever, The Who, The Stones, Bob Dylan, why did we lose The Beatles so early? Baby boomer abandoned? Could be they burned so bright they went blind to our needs? Five years of top albums in the decade might do it. The Beatles had their five. […]
