Whistling Past The Graveyard

  1. “Last One To Die” – Michael Essington

    Mike E writes for Strange Reaction http://strangereaction.com/ – a great blog for Punk Rock. He’s been around since the early 80’s L.A. Punk scene, and “Last One To Die” is his memoirs. It’s a fantastic read and you should check it out. https://www.createspace.com/3669330

  2. New York Dolls – “All Dolled Up”

    Bob Gruen’s video footage of the NY Dolls in their heyday. Find it on Netflix and Youtube. See the Dolls in their pre-junkie, still living, black and white glory!

  3. Mariano Rivera
    It’s not often when you can say you’ve seen the undisputed best ever at something
  4. Glen Campbell – “Ghost On The Canvas”
    Campbell’s has got Alzheimer’s and this is his swansong. The title track was written by Paul Wetserberg, but even non Replacements completists should give this a listen. Very poignant
  5. Dark Side Of The Wiz
    Everyone know about Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side Of The Moon” syncing up with The Wizard Of Oz. Here’s an edited piece using the Diana Ross led “The Wiz” syncing up with it. Far out.
  6. Michele Bachmann
    She’s bat shit crazy. But most of the GOP candidates are, and I wonder how much of the vitriol directed at her is sexism.
  7. X
    Exene and co are touring and it’s wonderful that she’s healthy enough to still rock it.
  8. Bucky Larson
    The very fact that millions of dollars can be pissed away on something like this is all the proof you need that THE REVOLUTION needs to start NOW! We are truly the owners of a bankrupt culture.

  9. Jack And Jill
    (See #8)
  10. Reality check

    It sucks for most of us. Life’s tough. Go here: http://deshoda.com/photo/haves-have-nots/ and realize you still got it pretty darn good.
