Why was the book written was to set the record straight? This is important because at one time post Jim Morrison there was a a harmony between Manzarek, Kreiger and my guest….like a spear they blazed through and became a band of melodic invention with studio cats like Ray Neopolitan Charles Lloyd, Bobbye Porter Hall and all the other ships with sails. Who do you think scouted this talent? Who do think was inside the Hollywood studios banging on vibes with Emil Richards or brought Harvey Brooks on a brief tour when Manzerek couldn’t handle the bass lines ….my guest.
This unison was channeled in a metaphysical sense from Maharisi Maresh Yogi who helped youthful rebels like my guest elevate to transcendental consciousness.
He visited the states often, held seminars, was connected to his students in the most intimate fashion this with the spawning of legal LSD created by our government and lackadaisical music executives allowed for humanity to grow and the

December 8, 1970 - On his birthday, Jim Morrison rented several hours of studio time at Village Recorders to record his poetry. He invited his friends Frank&Kathy Lisciandro as well as Alan Ronay to attend and participate in the session. Portions of this session were used in the 1979 release, "An American Prayer".
The building itself was built in the 1920s as a Masonic Temple. In the 1960s it was used by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi as his Los Angeles center for Transcendental Meditation. Soon after that, it was converted into a recording studio. It was one of the first 24-track studios in Los Angeles. Although there have been major renovations since then, it is still the same state-of-the-art recording studio that Jim recorded in 40+ years ago.
Woody Guthrie in Los Angeles A more vivid picture of the folk singer emerges via newly released songs from his time here By Kai Flanders Thursday, Jul 12 2012
On July 10, four days before the 100th anniversary of Woody Guthrie's birth, Smithsonian Folkways released the legendary folk singer's oldest known recordings for the first time. The songs, part of a massive box set titled Woody at 100: The Woody Guthrie Centennial Collection, take Los Angeles as their subject matter and were recorded here. They offer insight into the developing mind of Guthrie, a young man at a political and personal crossroads.
Who was that man, and how does he differ from the iconic figure portrayed by history? In addition to shedding light on Guthrie's time in Los Angeles, the recordings paint him as

Better than ...This Is It in 3-D
Of course there was a flash mob, superfans in zombie getup busting their best "Thriller" moves outside the Staples Center box office while the crowd filed in. This was a Michael Jackson show, after all. Last night, MJ was present, if in spirit only: like it says in the Bible, where two or three come together in the King's name, there is he with them.
The show kicked off in a subtle fashion, with just three dancers (one was the main "ghost of MJ"

Johnny Ramone's Widow Linda Gives Us a Tour of Their Beautiful and Bizarre House By Kai Flanders Thu., Aug. 16 2012
Linda Ramone lives in an eccentric museum. The widow of iconic Ramones guitarist Johnny Ramone (who died in 2004 of prostate cancer) is dedicated to preserving her late husband's legacy, and his estate. She still lives in the home they shared in the Valley -- a wacky, charmingly garish house filled with things like original posters for Elvis Presley movies and stuffed foxes resting beneath punk memorabilia. And, of course, there's the shrine to Ronald Reagan in the kitchen.
Seated on one of her plush pink chairs in the living room, the ageless Linda conducts herself like the First Lady of Punk. Dressed in a flowing orange dress with red hair fluffed like a dyed cotton ball and plenty of ey

Quick: If I say "Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon," what's the first thing that comes to mind?
Chances are you're picturing a luminous triangle on a black background, with a single ray of light coming from one end and a neat rainbow emerging from the dispersive prism.
The cover of Dark Side of the Moon is one of many striking statements in pop culture made by the designer Storm Thorgerson, who was a key member of the creative team known as Hipgnosis that lasted from 1968 to 1983
Thorgerson and main Hipgnosis partner Aubrey "Po" Powell are part of a rarefied elite responsi

Wavy Gravy: I remember connecting with him in Sheridan Square [in New York in the early '70s] when I was writing my first book. I ran into him and we were gonna go to this apartment in Sheridan Square where friends of my wife who Bob knew all the way back to the University of Minnesota were. She was going there to tidy up and Bob and I were going to the smoke shop at the corner for matches and various combustibles when this guy screams, "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD" — then he comes running up. ... "ARE YOU ARE YOU ARE YOU ARE YOU REALLY ... WAVY GRAVY???" He's goin', "My girlfriend is never gonna believe this!" and I said, "I'd like to introduce you to my friend Bob." And he says, "Hi Bob — but seriously ... Wavy Gravy!" [Guffaws] It was wonderful. Bob got such a kick out of that, let me tell ya.
Though Jim Keltner was originally a jazz drummer, his résumé reads like a rock & roll wet dream. He's played with three-quarters of the Beatles and was "Bust
