I dig a wailing Sax more than almost anything.
I spent many a Friday and Saturday nights at the Whiskey, the Roxy and the Rainbiw late 70's. Back then tix were $3-5 depending on who was playing. Smoke a doobie before going in and snort coke in the head. Van Halen was playing there a lot but my fav at the time was a local group...I was walking back from the bar at this show when a stray elbow caught my spectacles and sent them aflight into what passed for the "pit".
Immediately the band stopped playing and Bruce asked the crowd to locate the spex. 10 seconds later they were back on my face.
The Dwarves smashed it as they do!

Another video of musical madness!!! Les Claypool rules!
That beat so sick tho!There's a duo I was surprised to see pop up in this thread. They made a wise career move when they gave up male modeling and switched to pop music.

One of the things I truly miss about yesterday is the late night fry trip periodically punctuated by the latest Hype Williams video.
Busta knew it was sick and resuscitated it.

A couple years later I'm working converting apartments to condos in Santa Monca where Joey lived. I never spoke with any of them but what a small frickin world.All the pandemonium, but the Ramones are chill? Yeah!!
Not sure how I missed this post.
I'm a decade behind you. I landed in Anaheim in June of 1980, right after school got out in Iowa. I turned 13 a month later and my [divorced] parents had given me the choice of living with mom[cold, snow, hot, humid, corn] or dad[warm, sunny Socal, need I say more].
My sister had been friends with the girl across the street and for some reason her older sister, who was deeply ingrained in the hardcore scene at the time, decided it was her job to corrupt me. Mostly just rolling along to places like the cuckoo's nest, the olympic, and a bunch of places in cypress and garden grove.
That was pretty much my "jumping in". I ended up living a double life. Dorky-ass COBOL-card-carrying high school dork to my dad and stepmom, and wannabe cool, clove-xmoking outside of Pier records Newport poseur. KROQ was the anthem.
I loved most of the music though. I was born into top 40 AM radio and John Denver.
This was my first record purchase with my own money ever:
but I knew I'd have to deal with a bunch of shit if my dad found out I was listening to such subversive things so I grabbed this to throw them off. ?♀️
It worked but not the way I'd planned.
I almost drowned in the rip tide at Seal Beach in 85. You might have been one of the peeps watching my buddy mistake my flailing arms for waves of greeting.Born in Lynwood, grew up in Downey. As an adult I lived in Bellflower, Lakewood and then moved to Seal Beach about 85, Westminister a couple years later and then Orange. Moved to North County 9 years ago. Been going South all my life. Today I can't stand LA and avoid it.
