She Came In Through The Bathroom Window: Rush Hour Soul at Abbey Road

Hey Soul Mates,
well the last of the photos from our first tour of Great Britain are available for viewing. We spent the final day together seeing sights. We began the morning at EMI's Abbey Road studio where the Beatles made 90% of their records. Thanks to Bryan, we got to visit the actual recording studios where the Fab Four worked. We started with #1, where lots of musical scores have been recorded including Star Wars and Raiders Of The Lost Ark and All You Need Is Love. Then we went into Studio 2 and I nearly cried (again). For some it's walking into St. Paul's or the Louvre or the Capitol Hill Rotunda or seeing the Grand Canyon next to the Great Wall. For me, it was all those wrapped into one. A sanctified space in which to pay homage. Name a Beatles song, any song and it was probably put on wax in that room. She Loves You, Hello Goodbye, Help!, even The Word, which we covered during our tour. Bryan and I had been singing Good Morning, Good Morning from Sgt. Pepper on the walk from the tube to the studio. That was recorded in Studio 2, as well. The energy and history of the room was quite overwhelming, so I soaked it up. Below is a photo of the very young Beatles with producer George Martin in Studio 2.



Of course, most of you have already seen our recreation of the Beatles' Abbey Road record cover. There is a high quality copy now (suitable for framing) on our site.

Following the tour of the studio, Doug took the tube to Wimbledon to see Centre Court. Bryan and I did the heart of the city (Piccadilly, Tower of London, London Eye), but it was a brutally hot day. We were wilting by the time we got back to the hotel. That night, the group reconvened for a celebratory dinner at Bill Wyman's Sticky Fingers. A restaurant I love because it's decked out in all of Bill's old Rolling Stones' memorabilia. Plus the food is good. Special thanks to our tour sponsors KS1 Security for providing the feast.

We can't wait to Get Back to where we once belonged. The UK was very good to us. Our production continues to take shape. We hope to have the premiere of our new video shortly. Stay tuned. In the meantime, feel free to visit our website and check out the pictures of RHS on tour.
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
