Morning Edition

Hey Soul Mates,
what a wild, past 24 hours. Be sure to read the 2 previous blogs about our upcoming podcast interview. We are just one week away from our set at BB King's. I hope you've picked out something super-sweet to wear. Only 7 more shopping days. Ha Ha. I suspect that everyone is coming correct. You know we will. We got word yesterday that the CDs have been shipped, so there will be CD's at the CD release party. And there will be record executives, too. Time for RHS to rize!

For those of you who haven't responded to the Evite, you should. This helps us gauge how many people we can expect to see in the audience and how we can prepare the club. This is also the easiest way to get the RHS discount at the door. When you RSVP yes (or even, maybe), we place your name at Will Call to get in for $10. If you aren't coming we aren't mad at you, just select that you can't attend. Also, when you answer the Evite, be sure to take part in our polls. We have two questions up right now. My favorite is with which hip-hop artist should we start some beef?

Of the 21 responses (including one write-in) the tally goes:
50 Cent - 9 votes
Fat Joe - 7 votes
Malcolm McLaren - 3 votes
Oaktown's 357 - 1 vote
Mike Jones - 1 vote
Shawn "Rappin' Duke" Brown - 0 votes

Make sure to cast your vote. It's the best way for you to voice your opinions on the direction of the band.

Finally, after several requests, we have posted a "hidden" lyrics page on RHS.com. Now you can learn the words to our 5 most recent compositions. Be sure to sing nice and loud at the show, that really is impressive to 3rd parties and it warms our hearts. The songs include the EP tracks, as well as new additions U Had The $ and Everything My Heart Desires.

Have a groovy Friday. So corny, but true.
Love, Power, Peace

p.s. I'd like to wish a Happy 80th Birthday to our benefactor BB King. Long live the Blues Boy!

John Lennon 40 Years On

Remembering John Lennon today. Forty years have flashed by. I can still hear my clock radio turning on to the incongruent sound of the Beatles on Dec. 9, 1980 and wondering why? I think about John every day. I am fortunate to have been able to make pilgrimage to Mendips, Abbey Road and Strawberry Fields, NY; to play on stages like the Cavern, the Jacaranda and the Troubadour where he performed or made trouble, or both. Here’s a quick playlist for you and me. (Just Like) Starting Over I Should Have Known Better Bless You Nobody Told Me Strawberry Fields Forever Nowhere Man Enjoy the day. Fill it with peace. Fill it with music. #JohnLennon #Liverpool

Murderous Haircut of the Mayor of Bel Air - Book Review

“The Murderous Haircut of the Mayor of Bel Air” is a trippy new mystery novel from Phillip Mottaz. It captures the grit and gilt of the City of Angels with the flair of a contemporary Raymond Chandler. The brisk pace and wit are reminiscent of Douglas Adams’s entries in the detective game. Flourishes of  Fletch  and “Medium” also spring to mind. However, Mottaz has added a psychic/mutant/superhuman touch and his own comedic voice, structure and internal monologues to the proceedings that help the author announce his own style and the arrival of a literary heroine for a new generation. Hairstylist and budding private investigator, Danica Luman is the perfect character to convey the irony, angst and sarcasm needed to tell a 21st century L.A. crime story. Danica also represents anyone who thought it would be neat to get tangled up in a mystery and the darkly comic cautionary tale that follows. The genre is recognizable, but Mottaz offers a fresh take on the not-ready-for-prime-ti...

Getting Better All The Time

Hey Soul Mates, long week. Thanks to everyone who sent along their best wishes for my recovery from food poisoning. I'm still creaky, but there has been a lot going on. The world keeps on spinning. Well, I finally got our ntsc (North American video) master of " A Talent For Loving " made. The original was in the pal format, so it had to be converted before it could be distributed here. As a result of several snafu's, I've upgraded my dvd drive. And thanks to KS1 Security's continuing sponsorship of the band, we have a new color photo printer! That means we can make super-pretty press kits to send out to the record labels and industry players. It's taken a long summer to get to this point. We've had several people of decent magnitude utterly flake out on us. I ain't gonna name names, but you know who you are. As a result, the band is forging ahead on its own (manufacturing our own dvd's is just the tip of the iceberg). We aim to get our music h...
