Homecoming [Show Recap]

Hey Soul Mates,
thanks to everyone who came to our homecoming show at the Good Hurt, tonight (Friday). That was super. We felt really loose and relaxed. The room was energetic. Bryan was bouncing off the walls. His birthday show and all. Doug was decked out in his Celtic jersey; I had on my Liverpool finery. Bry suggested we start with Bad Penny Blues. I called Sucka and Fall Out to follow. This playing without a set list is fun. Keeps me on my toes. Our audience sang sweetly tonight. The girls were particularly in tune with Done Lost My Mind. We didn't play that song too frequently on the tour. The end of the set was slamming, A Talent For Loving and then, by popular demand, Supermodels. A good night. It was made extra-special having our Scottish mate, James in the audience.

Set List:
Bad Penny Blues (Ms. Jackson)
Sucka
Fall Out
Done Lost My Mind
U Had The $
Everyone's Ingenue
A Talent For Loving
Supermodels With Gatling Guns

FYI: Days 3 & 4 of the tour are up in pictures. They weren't remarkable days, other than the cool weather broke and the sunshine began. Day 3, we left the hotel in search of an internet cafe (aka the Golden Arches). Horrible for internet service. We quickly realized that we will need a laptop for our return to the UK. I actually got a headache trying to operate the stainless steel keyboard at Mc's. That was followed by a KS1 sponsored stop at TopMan for stage clothes. What a relief to find shirts that fit right off the shelves. I wore the last new shirt tonight (white with navy stripes). While I was at the store, I got the call from our team that we'd booked an extra show in York for May 30.

Day 4, we finally found the public library and good internet connections to catch up. We also had an extensive rehearsal to determine the set lists for Lennon's and the Cavern Club. So, as a result, there are very few pictures from these two days off.

Well, we have a little more time off until the next show, August 2nd. That will be our final show in L.A. in preparation for our next tour of Britain. Bryan and I have been working on new songs and Doug's been working on new beats to make you dance and shake it. I'm also working on adding a new message board to our website. I'll be sure to let you know when that goes live.

Again, thanks for a great night everybody.
Love, Power, Peace

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-time-hard-b

Hello, Dali! (Now with 50% More Photos)

Hola , Soul Mates, I'm feeling very jet lagged. Just got back from Espana . Catalunya and Andalucia to be more precise. I even learned Catalan ( jo parlo catala , amics ) and spoke it in broken fashion to amused natives. But wait, here's proof... It's me at the Dali Teatro - Museu in Figueres on Salvador's birthday. The place is more funhouse than museum. This objet d'art was hidden in a stairwell. I call it "The Crowned Peacock Dreams of Genie." Dali lived here. He's buried here. I'm being idiotic here. Genuflecting or posing? Felicitats , Salvador! It was his birthday and I was the only one celebrating. And yes, I did sing "Happy Birthday" to him. Another installation that defies explanation. But it's got a real crocodile and a real light bulb and artificial limbs involved. What's not to like? Seems like every town in Catalonia has some sort of memorial to John Lennon. This sign had fallen off (no, I did not keep it), s

Jim Brown: G.O.A.T.

Yesterday, I met the Greatest of All-Time in his profession. It's not everyday that you see one, let alone get to interact. Of course, the encounter is nerve-wracking for the fan and probably tedious for the G.O.A.T. Thanks to my friend Steve, we got to visit the field prior my hometown Cleveland Browns ' matchup against the Chargers in San Diego. I had hope to see some of the old new Browns and get some pictures. I also had a small bag with a couple of mini helmets inside it and figured, these guys wouldn't mind that someone actually cared for their autographs. As we walked around the sideline, I sized up my options. Not a lot of players on the field yet. And it was hot. Probably around 95 and I had on a jacket to cover up my vintage Brian Sipe jersey. Lo and behold, who do I see holding court at the far end but the Greatest football player... Ever: Jim Brown . A true legend. The man whole holds a record book full of milestones. Star of the silverscreen. Community activist
