Joe Lansdale's second collection of Hap and Leonard stories, Born for Trouble. So far, I've read the two longest stories in the set. Kind of same old, same old, but I love Hap and Leonard and Joe's...

Hi Jed,
The author is Paul Tremblay. I've not read this one, but I have heard it's good.

I'm really digging deep here: Just Good Old Rock and Roll by the Electric Prunes. I was and am a big Prunes fan, but this album is a problem. No original Prunes in sight and it didn't even try to...

Bingo! See you there in the craft brew aisle, Jed.

There's an El Salvadoran/Mexican place in Durham a few blocks from and on the same side of the highway as the Comfort Inn called El Cuscatleco...

Saw them open for Hawkwind at the 1999 Party in Philly in '74. They were mighty good.

There's some live Man stuff with John Cipollina kicking around on the internet. Definitely worthwhile.

Hi Mike,

That indeed is big news that you'll be playing a festival in the UK. Kudos for snagging a spot in the lineup. My daughter lives in St. Albans (original home of the Zombies). Don't know...

Hi Kevin,

I finally took sometime out to listen to "Somehow." Oh, lordy, is that good! No disrespect, to me it has a bit of Southern rock feel to it, very Marshall Tuckerish, a band I love. The...

I stand corrected. I was thinking simplisticly sci-fi as rocket ships and 1.21 gigawatts. To me, apocalyptic themes are a subgenre of sci-fi like time travel and alternate worlds.

The last 5 or 6 PDs, Steve and I bunked together at the Comfort Inn. The room will be a little emptier this year without him.

His presence was a presentation.

Oh, boy! This is going to be great!

Atta boy, Luther!

Come on Down to My Boat - Every Mother's Son

Yesterday:

John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton

One of the greatest sci-fi books ever. More of an apocalyptic novel like Alas, Babylon and The Stand than real sci-fi.

Cash on the Barrel Head - Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris

Be My Baby by Ronnie Spector.

This is the 2022 edition. I'm about a fifth of the way through to when the song "Be My Baby" has become a hit after several duds by the Ronettes. I remember seeing...

The Mouse - Soupy Sales

There were about six of us beer snobs that got together a couple of times in between sets. We just stood around one end of a picnic table in the covered pavillion and shared beer. Nothing formal....
