Wisdom, Experience, Deeper Pocketbooks And great stories. We know real music. We remember Led Zeppelin. Kiss is not merely a verb. It’s a band! But kiss is a verb too heh heh ;) When we golf you shop at the gap and Tiffany. Happy to offer fatherly advice and brotherly love. A shoulder to cry on and a friend to rely on. They keep on shouting you keep on shouting! I wanna Rock N Roll All Night! And Party Every Day! Thank you

Saw two of their "farewell" shows, 19 years apart (Haa), and I don't see how anyone can ever replace what they do, and have done.
Not even their new digital avatars

I'm leaving for Vegas tonight to see the final performance of their latest residency, so I spent all week re-listening to all of their albums on vinyl. Apparently when you crack open my crusty shell, the 13-year old version is still intact within, gobsmacked by how seriously a bunch of adults can pursue their silliness.
I spent about five minutes worrying that I'd be disappointed seeing them again now that they (and I) are so old, but then I told myself to shut up. “They’re so over the hill” is the least B-52s sentiment imaginable. Their edginess was never dependent upon youth. They weren't exactly rebels, but they gloried in pillaging what’s old and awkward for the creation of something new and cool that embraces squareness rather than mocking it. What they want - what they’ve always wanted - is for people to have FUN, and they’re entirely non-judgmental about how you want to do it (unless it involves putting anyone down, in which case, no thanks). It’s a spirit that makes just as much sense old as it does young. As a blueprint for a culture, you could hardly do better. And I guess that’s why they’ve always been my favorites - because I still wistfully believe that if everyone shared their courage, spirit, and humor, this would be a better world.
Anyway, "Song for a Future Generation" is one of the greatest things ever committed to video.

Great albums to start with, they have a good variety of their sounds and vibe. They also randomly have a cover of Foxey Lady on Three Imaginary Boys I honestly like more then Hendrix’s original.

The whole staff just sang happy birthday to some guy in the kitchen. All the patrons are diner people. At least at this hour. Forks crash into plates and knives scrape butter and jam on toast. It’s the perfect volume. Want to read my book but too content. Want to get pancakes but trying to stay light. Dont want to feel it in my face.

And I want to post it here. It’s tasteful and it’s art. Do I have your consent to post it here?

Been on huge memoir kick as I’m currently writing book in the first person. Going to list two here and save this list to come back to.
Always Crashing The Same Car by Matthew Specktor is great book about the guy himself whom I knew nothing about and artistic desperation and ambition focused in Los Angeles. It runs through many stories of The well known and not well known. He would actually be a great person on this app.
The other is the opposite in tone. Just Kids by Patti Smith. A delightful more hopeful and romantic read about similar subject that just makes you feel great to be an artist and like you’re doing everything right. New York and rock n roll heavy. A lot on the Chelsea hotel.
