TPA IS TAKING OVER ON THE NIGHT WHEN GREAT BANDS FORM,
AND WHEN,
"IF ONE DOES NOT RECEIVE WHAT ONE EXPECTS FOR FREE, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME NOT KNOWING WHAT THIS MAY BE, ONE IS ALLOWED, AND INDEED, EXPECTED TO PUNISH OR "TRICK" HE OR SHE WHO DOES NOT, OR CANNOT COMPLY WITH THIS MYSTERIOUS AGREEMENT"...
KIND OF LIKE RUNNING A BLOG.
I'VE PURCHASED A 6-PACK AT THE GROCERY STORE, WHERE I'VE SEEN A BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN A CATHOLIC SCHOOL UNIFORM/COSTUME, AND I'VE TAKEN SOME ADD MEDICINE AND 15mgs ROXICET (PRESCRIBED AFTER SURGERY ON a compressed ULNA NERVE), IN THE HOPEs THAT INSPIRATION WILL APPEAR LIKE KUBLA KAHN, only WITHOUT THE KNOCK ON THE DOOR, TO HEAR WHISPERED THE NAME OF THE GLYPH/PICTOGRAM WHICH ADORNS THIS BLOG.
THIS BLOG WILL TAKE OVER WHERE THE OLD MASTER LEFT OFF (I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY); AND SIMULTANEOUSLY, WE, MY HAND-PICKED, SAVVY STAFF AND I, WILL OFFER SOMETHING DIFFERENT--LIKE OBAMA--AS YET UNDEFINED.
I WON'T POST MUCH YT, BECAUSE IN TWO YEARS AFTER BURNOUT SETS IN AND I BEQUEATH [::] TO SOMEONE, I WOULD NOT LIKE TO BE DISAPPOINTED, AS SEBASTIAN MUST FEEL, TO SEE VIDEOS BECOME "UNAVAILABLE".
IN THE COMING DAYS WHILE I POST VIDEOS FROM AN ALTERNATIVE CACHE OF OBSCURE, "OFFSHORE" SITES (LOCATED IN HOLLAND, POLAND, FRANCE, ETC.), I WILL ALSO PROVIDE HELPFUL LINKS WHICH THE READER MAY USE AT HIS/HER DISCRETION TOWARD THIS SAME END--ONE OF FREEDOM FROM CENSORSHIP, INSURING LONGEVITY AND PRESERVATION OF THE MEDIA.

On Feb. 6, 2006, Sebastian /Z, aka mrdantefontana(Sweden's greatest export since the SAAB or a few men and women with more umlauts in their names than a heavy metal band's Heineken rider sang a little song some of you might remember entitled, "Fernando"), lit up the world with his tasteful (think IKEA) appreciation of everything ENTERTAINMENT.

That is also why some of the videos will not be viewable when you get there. In some cases the videos are removed by the original uploader or by the staff of these online video deposits (like in most of these cases YouTube due to copyright laws). I will try to post shortcut links to all videos posted on here each month (or bi-monthly). This is also a blog I do not give up much time for. It's just a matter of a few secs of copy/paste artistry.

As bright as that day may have seemed in Sweden, September 17th in Malmö must have been with equal intensity--bleak, for this was the day that changed everything.
Note: On September 17, 2007,After 2.454 post the visual guidance was closed for new posts. See You over at PCL or maybe in the future completely elsewhere. Who knows! Check the archives. There are still some good stuff there to guide you.
No matter how many Bergman films your girlfriend may have described to you--no matter how many you didn't need to see--would you be shocked to find that, 'maybe you were wrong', maybe you needed to see then when she begged you, and ultimately it didn't work out; maybe you need to see them right now--ALL OF THEM!
The chance to appreciate, comment or participate is over! All those minutes of pleasure inspired by hours of hard work lie dormant in a more deserving and understandable depository of inanimate silence:
HERE LIES THE GREAT YEARS OF A SWEDISH MAN'S WORK. HERE LIES A DIARY OR LETTER (LOVE LETTER?) TO NO ONE IN PARTICULAR!
When bloggers blog it's essentially to no one, yet we wouldn't if that were the reality; we'd stand on the street corner and mumble and smile. But we're not crazy.
OR ARE WE?
IF NO ONE'S THERE, WE ARE. AND IF THERE IS AN AUDIENCE HOW WILL WE KNOW UNLESS IT MAKES ITSELF KNOWN?
There's one more casualty in the war tonight, not the war you may know, as you stuff your face with Hershey's Kisses, bloated and full but unfulfilled; this is a casualty of missing your water after your well runs dry.
A cliche is a cliche, sometimes because it's the best group of words to describe something that everyone feels all at the same time but can't describe with better, different, or more well-placed words than those which make up that cliche; and this is one of those times when the simple regret of going thirsty after a quenching and deep wellspring full of heaven-sent precipitation (filtered through some discreet aquifer), is not only missed because of its quenching, but indeed, is missed because, as most everyone knows, you can only live for about three days--tops, without a drink.

Thej are dämnd kräjzy. Thätts whått itt is! Jag rönte ju samma öde och det känns ju bara så jävla dumt och löjligt alltihopa. Hur tänker dom?? Man ville ju gärna veta men... Å den positiva sidan, fan vad mycket tid du får till annat nu när du skurit ner på PCL-jobbet också! Ah, förnyelsens sköna sötma!
No one knows this more than myself, and on Tue. Jun 5, 2007 at 10:22 AM, The Perfect American received this WELCOME AFTER A SINGLE COMMENT--WELL-PLACED, BUT SADLY--NOW LOST:
"Glad you accepted the invitation. Thanks for fun posts. You are probably a genius. And -THANKS - I'm feeling much better now. My cold is almost gone and my back is feeling way better thanks to some lovely pill. But on top on everything I stopped smoking 4 days ago. This is good but hard news."
From then on i began to love the man who called me genius--or rather, realized it.
This is me excepting the first invitation to post for MDFVGL:
well, i'm honored, esp. since my style of posting is not exactly grounded in anything resembling reality, but i promise not to curse or add explicit porno. i'm working on a jerry lee/mickey gilley/swaggart thing and a scorchers recap from the recent reunion.
And when SEBASTIAN was down and desperate i was there to just listen:
Anyway I'm in one of those periods when blogging feels more like some chore I need to take care of. I think a break is for the best.
But even at his most despondent, i knew he would maintain, and i didn't judge:
This will be interesting. For me. As I'm gone.
And for the readers. They were half a****p.
They are always so d*** l***.
IT WAS HARD, BECAUSE I KNEW HE WAS HURTING AND ALL I COULD DO WAS POST THE BEST POSTS THAT I WAS ABLE TO.
HE'S ENTRUSTING ME WITH HIS LEGACY AND POSTS THIS FROM SWEDEN, WHERE THEY DO NOT CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN! I'LL TAKE GOOD CARE, FRIEND!
In 1978, Dylan attended a home Bible study with girlfriend Mary Alice. She had recently “re-dedicated her life to Christ” and was concerned that she was living with an unsaved man who was not her husband.
Dylan Animated by John Wilson, Fine Arts Films
She invited two assistant pastors from the Hollywood Vineyard Church (associated with the Vineyard Christian Fellowship) to visit Dylan’s home.
The Vineyard Fellowship, to which Dylan's girlfriend Mary Alice Artes introduced him in late 1978, was a small evangelical church that peddled a New Age, born-again version of Christianity. It had been found in Los Angeles in 1974 by Ken Gulliksen, who had previous been a singer on the Christian Music circuit. The church's style was informal. Gulliksen took services dressed in his shorts and counted a number of LA musicians among his congregation, including T-Bone Burnett, Steven Soles and David Mansfield, all of whom had played on Dylan's Rolling Thunder Tour.
Bob and Mary Alice enrolled in the Vineyard Fellowship's School of Discipleship, attending Bible class most weekday mornings for more than three months at the beginning of 1979. At first Bob thought there was no way that he could devote so much time to the project; he felt he had to get back on the road. Soon, though, he found himself awake at 7 A.M., compelled to get up and drive to the real estate office in Reseda where Bible classes were held. "I couldn't believe I was there," he said.
Dylan Gotta Serve Somebody movie
Dylan’s testimony was as follows:
“One thing led to another ... until I had this feeling, this vision and feeling. I truly had a born-again experience, if you want to call it that. It’s an over-used term, but it’s something that people can relate to”
It was during this late winter/spring period of 1979 that Mary Alice Ares was baptized in a swimming pool at Pastor Bill's house. "This was total immersion. Because baptism is a symbol of burial, burying guilt, and then pulling the new man out of the water," says Pastor Kenn.Bob attended the baptism and, not long afterward, Bob was himself baptized, probably in the ocean, which was where the fellowship normally conducted baptisms. By being immersed in water, Bob became, in common parlance, a born-again Christian, though he would later shrink from the term, claiming he had never used it. Yet he was clearly quoted in a 1980 interview with trusted Los Angeles Times journalist Robert Hilburn saying: "I truly has a born-again experience, if you want to call it that. It's an overused term, but it's something that people can relate to."
Bob's conversion to Christianityalso caused considerable upset to his own children, who had been raised in the Jewish faith. Suddenly, packs of journalists were following their father to the Vineyard Fellowship in the hope of getting pictures of him going to a Christian church, and then staking out his home. The children saw this commotion when they visited their father. It was embarrassing and one of the few times when his celebrity was a problem in their lives.

In the fall of 1983, Bob's seventeen-year-old son Jesse had a belated bar mitzvah in Jerusalem- Jakob and Samuel had already been bar mitzvahed in California- and Bob was photographed wearing a yarmulke at the Wailing Wall, adding to speculation that he had returned to Judaism. "As far as we're concerned, he was a confused Jew," Rabbi Kasriel Kastel told Christianity Today. "We feel he's coming back." In fact, Jesse was on vacation in Israel with his grandmother, Beatty, when they discovered a bar mitzvah could be conducted quickly and easily at the Wailing Wall and Bob simply flew in to play his part. He still believed Jesus Christ was the Messiah, and kept a broadly Christian outlook, although he had not maintained regular contact with the Vineyard Fellowship since the early flush of his conversion.
DYLAN MADE A BARGAIN WITH THE DEVIL
In a rare interview with Ed Bradley, aired on the 60 Minutes program, June 26, 2005, the 63-year-old rock singer said that his early songs were “almost magically written … kind of a penetrating magic.”
He also said that he made a bargain with the devil.
Question: Why do you still do it? Why are you still out here?
Dylan: It goes back to that destiny thing. I made a bargain with it a long time ago, and I’m holding up my end.
Q: What was your bargain?
Dylan: To get where I am now.
Q: Should I ask whom you made the bargain with?
Dylan: With the chief commander.
Q: On this earth?
Dylan: (laughing) On this earth and the world we can’t see.
It could be argued that Dylan was referring to a bargain he made with God, but that makes no sense. As Brian Snider wrote to me on this matter: “Who makes a bargain with God to be a rock star? Everyone knows you make that deal with the devil. Down at the crossroads.” This refers to the old Blues concept of selling one’s soul to the devil. Bluesman Robert Johnson and others have sung about it.

and from this awesome monument to internet craunch:
Ambition, depth of character and ingenuity are the unique combination of trademarks that make up the soul of artist, LLYNDA MORE.
As a child, Llynda was exposed to some of the finest artists America has produced through her father, Bob Moore, who is one of the world’s leading and most recorded bass players. Growing up to the sounds and freshly made recordings of Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley and Brenda Lee, among others, was as natural to Llynda as her proven leadership, competitive and performance skills as cheerleader captain and student body vice president throughout her school years.
These unique traits developed into her being chosen Miss Nashville, Miss Tennessee and eventually a Miss America finalist.
Llynda has gone on to refine her unique artistic talents and the results have been most noteworthy. As a recording artist and vocalist, Llynda has recorded for CBS/Sony Records, national commercials, film and television. As an exceptionally gifted songwriter, she has written for Warner Music under exclusive contract and recorded multi full-length albums in her studio where she actively arranges and produces her insightful and provocative original material. Llynda chose New York City’s most demanding venues as her training ground to be a live performer. Within weeks of her first performance, she became a regularly featured artist in music and trade publications receiving the highest accolades and critical acclaim from some of the world’s most demanding critics.
I wish to thank you for your brilliant performance on New Year’s Eve at Pierchic. All the guests I spoke to were delighted with the high quality music you performed on that night. Having worked for almost twenty years in hotels and most of the time in food and beverage, I can say confidently that your attitude has been exemplary, which is not always the case with artists! We hope to be able to work again in the future. I remain in the meantime,
With best personal regards Christophe Schnyder, General Manager Al Qasr & Dar Al Masyaf, Madinat Jumeirah The Arabian Resort Dubai Dubai, UAE
Welcome to my tribute website of legendary Nashville bassist, Bob Loyce Moore (who happens to be my father). Here you will find a large archive of musical information, rare photographs and memorabilia, and collected data relating to over 50 years of historic recordings and performances.
boogie woogie country man bob moore's lap The Killer on a memorable episode of "Nashville Now" in late 1985 doing "Boogie Woogie Country Man" with yellow glasses and gloves on. He also did "CC Rider" and "Why You Been Gone So Long".
If one copy of every record on which he performed were placed end to end, they would line both sidewalks of the one-mile stretch between Owen Bradley Park and Belmont College along 16th Avenue, Nashville's famed Music Row.
The musician holding this distinction is bass player extraordinaire Mr. Bob L. Moore, who, with over 17,000 recording sessions to his credit, may well have played on more recordings than any other musician in the world. Bob's talents are heard on literally hundreds of million selling records that feature some of the greatest legends in music history. Life Magazine (special edition September 1, 1994) named Bob Moore as the number one "Country Bassist" of all time but many recognize Bob Moore as the being the best "all around" Bassist of all time. His musical experiences are as diverse as having worked on a Big Band for twenty years, performing by invitation at the Newport Jazz Festival and recording with Arthur Feidler and The Boston Pops. Bobby Moore has performed as top studio instrumentalist for decades having worked with such legendary artists as Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Wayne Newton, Sammi Davis Jr., Quincy Jones, Andy Williams, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Johnny Halliday, Roy Orbison, Connie Frances, Burl Ives, Julie Andrews and Bob Dylan. His bold, distinctive, bass lines have graced many timeless recordings such as "Crazy" as performed by Patsy Cline, "He Stopped Loving Her Today" by George Jones and "Rainy Night In Georgia," Brook Benton.
From:gbcan "The Battle of New Orleans" is the name of a song written by Jimmie Driftwood. The song details the 1815 Battle of New Orleans from the perspective of an American fighting alongside Andrew Jackson against British forces, but the tone is lighthearted. It has been recorded by many artists, but the one most often associated with this song is Johnny Horton. His version, released as a single in 1959, topped the Billboard Hot 100.
The complete footage - which is somewhat lengthy and of far better quality than this brief clip - issoon to follow.
Hamming it up poolside at Sharon & Roman's place in 1994. Behind me are the windows and door of the master bedroom.
This video chronicles my summer vacation, walk-through tour (incomplete footage) of the Sharon Tate-Roman Polanski"murder bungalow" filmed in 1994, prior to its demolition.
This footage was shot by my dear friend (and crime enthusiast/"murderabilia collector extraordinaire"), Nick Bougas, during our visit to10050 Cielo Drive, in Los Angeles, mid-1994.
If you lived here, you'd be dead now!
The front lawn, where the remains of Abigail Folger and Voytek Frykowski came to rest after the brutal murders on the evening of August 8, 1969.
At the time, the home was occupied by Trent (Nine Inch Nails) Reznor who (it is rumored) was unaware of the residence's dark past! (Much to the chagrin of Sharon Tate's sister, he ultimately removed the front door and kept it as a crime-collectible souvenir - which was actually our idea!)
All of you Nine Inch Nails fans will surely recognize this familiar bit of video-prop memorabilia, as seen in the front room in '94.
Andy (Underground Scream Prints) Gore, the third member of our touring trio, had befriended Reznor prior to our visit. Our shared enthusiasm was truly electrifying. It was a high that cannot be explained in words.
Another cheesy tourist shot (note subtle Hawaiian shirt) at the front door, where "PIG" was scrawled by "Tex" Watson in Sharon Tate's blood. Andy Gore expertly recaptured that grisly visage here on one of the t-shirts from his Manson Fashions Fall Line-up. (This is what they're wearing in Paris this year.)
"Later, on fleeing the premises, one of the killers left a bloody fingerprint on the gate-control mechanism. Still later, an LAPD officer pushed the button, creating a superimposure which eradicated the print." -- Helter Skelter by Vincent Buglosi [NOTE: I did not eradicate any important evidence]
very much appreciated
