Punk, rockbilly, folk … these people were non-mainstream and not to everyone’s taste, but they have real talent.
I’m a huge fan. Saw them way back in the day (1981, first time) and was just blown away.
That crazy harmony. Exene and John Doe’s voices were made for one another.
I used to run into her in LA, like in the Llasa Club where she was definitely treated like royalty.
I used to read the LA Weekly for it’s band lineups for the weekend. It was a commie screed. Now she writes for the OC Weekly.
Is there an alternative music community in Orange County? Funny place for her to end up in the land of Disney and Little Saigon. Maybe she moved there to be close to the grandkids.
Without Googling, is Ray Manzarek in The Doors. If so, I head him read excerpts of his biography at a poetry reading before it was made into a movie.
{Yes, we all have past, that look a little shady to us now.}
I think it worked really well. But it almost isn’t harmony. It’s almost two people singing the song differently. But I just love it.
Well, for all the implied nuttery (and she’s always been at least a little off-kilter, that’s part of the charm), she’s questioning authority and is pro-2A.
It could be worse. Maybe she’s ended up where she is because it’s not quite as establishment leftist as most other coastal California locales.
Back in the day she kind of had that weird, but kinda hot vibe about her, like Siouxsie Sioux.
Saw “X” play at the Westwood decades ago.
I thought a fight had broken out (my first exposure to “slam dancing”).
I’m almost posted that one too! It’s fantastic.
We’re desperate get used to it it’s kiss or kill.
“Looks like she might have to leave Los Angeles.”
Now this is funny... few will get it, I am sure.
Indeed.
Happens all the time to me around here. Especially with movie quotes.
No hoax, just a cover-up of the real cause of the killings: The psychotropic drugs that the fool’s shrink prescribed for years until he toasted out.
.
>> “Personally, I’m surprised there’s not a mass shooting every day...” <<
.
There are borderline events every day.
The cause is always the same: Psychotropic drugs prescribed for “HDD” or some similar false diagnosis.
.
Those nut cases are deliberately manufactured.
.
>> “If I have to google her then she’s not really relevant.” <<
.
Yeshua is relevant, not much else.
I did the math about ten years ago after I became aware of the link between SSRI and shootings.
The numbers are vague to me at this point, so what I list below is not accurate, but you should get the point.
“6 and 8 million children or more in 2000” on Ritalin.
http://www.tldm.org/news6/ritalin.htm
I think the percentage of kids that will experience the extreme side effects of violent psychosis was about 1%, then another number was about 1% would act out on that psychosis.
That would be 800 kids that will act violent because of the SSRI.
There are many other SSRI derivative drugs, not just Ritalin, but Prozac, and similar.
So, yeah, when I hear about these shootings every month or so, it doesn’t surprise me. Just SSRI statistics showing up. Kinda sad.
Folk Rock was the early ‘60s.
