Did you ever reach into your wallet, or something like that, and pull something out that sent you to a better place? (this is only for good happy thoughts).
I was at supermarket picking up the papers early this morning, and pulled out the store ID, however, pulled out the wrong one...
It was one I got on our trip last summer to California
It was a store ID bonus card to VANS supermarket
which is NOT on the east coast at all
And for a moment, I was on the beach in Santa Monica, eating the cherries and blueberries we purchased at Vans
80degrees, beautiful, the pier off to our right, the rides, the kids, the laughter
no economic problems last June/July either...
Wish I was back there.
Here's to VANS!

Some guy just got busted down in Albany last night for doing that, graham ....
He pulled out some crack cocaine, and it sent him to jail, which was a better place, since it was pretty cold outside last night ....
And the jail was warm .....
And so ...
I've got a real two-dollar bill in my wallet, graham ....
I keep it for emergencies ....

There's a country or bluegrass song about when "my last gold dollar is gone" ....

besides, does Bernie really think he is getting into heaven anyhow? A place that most Jews don't believe in to start off with anyhow).

Whatever became of Del Shannon, graham ....
Did the music define those times?
Or did those tiimes define the music?
Or was it just us, perhaps ....
I used to love to hear the Springfields and Dusty Springfield sing "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" .....
Even after all these years, I can still hear her voice .....
You got that one anywhere in your collection, graham?

I will find the link
Del Shannon is no longer living.
In a moment of depression, he killed himself a few years ago, right about the time there was talk he might have gone into the
Traveling Wilburys, the super group that had Bob Dylan George Harrison, Roy Orbison(who died), Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne.

it was 1962 but they had a couple of records in 1961, and a few years later she started her solo career.
They were a big influence on one of the few groups from 1985-present that I really like, The Pet Shop Boys, who brought her back into the Top 10
in the 90s.
She is gone now too, it's a shame.

But he was not too good looking, so the shades made him mysterious
Then he had a tragic personal life, 2 fires, family members killed, he had heart problems and right at the start of his comeback he died, shortly after the release of both the Wilbury cd, and I think one week after the release of his solo (or one week before)
There is one helleva great song no one knows called
A love so beautiful from his last album made while he was alive
This video was offically made by his record company way after he died
One very, very, very weird
(and Winona Ryder plays the girl when she is older)

YEAH.
There was the bxw one, which had guest stars like Elvis Costello & Bruce
and there was a regular concert one I think (or was that just a dvd?)
I always liked him alot.
Saw him 4 times in concert in his later years, and once in the 70s at the Lone Star Cafe in Manhattan.
Remember this song with EmmyLou Harris-
That lovin' you feeling? (from 1979)
this should have been a #1 song

Dion is still around too.Still has his voice.
Roy never lost anything from his voice.

The greatest voice and he took care of it.
Too bad he is gone, he could have had another 20 years of singing.

Coat is a great song, very true to life
