Top 10 Random Thoughts of The Day

Leave a comment

In no particular order, as is the nature of things labeled as random.

  1. Duff McKagan has apparently left Jane’s Addiction. I had no idea he had ever joined Jane’s Addiction.
  2. People who ride their bikes on the sidewalk are complete idiots.
  3. Today I felt that 4:30 PM was too late to see a movie that’s playing at a theater farther away from my apartment than a 10-minute walk.
  4. Even though it’s past Labor Day, I am probably still going to wear my linen pants a few more times.
  5. It feels good to throw away stuff that you are no longer using , especially when it is ugly, broken or doesn’t fit anymore.
  6. 4 Chan: What the hell is that, anyway?
  7. I finally saw Inception yesterday. It is so nice to see that Cillian Murphy has finally grown into his oddly-shaped face.
  8. Wow, what the heck is going on with the Google logo today anyway? Is it the anniversary of the day they invented the Milton Bradley game Twister or the design for the Wonder Bread wrapper? Take a look at it and tell me what you think is going on
  9. The next season of Survivor debuts on September 15th. I am excited about that as long as there is absolutely no way for them to bring back Russell again. Because seriously, I hate that guy.
  10. Every day I wonder why this one particular post, Happy Birthday, Jim Morrison, is always the most popular post on this blog. Today was no exception.

La Luz de Jesus Gallery to Host Dee Dee Ramone Art Show

1 Comment

LA-based Ramones fans and art lovers won’t want miss the chance to check out The Art of Dee Dee Ramone: A Birthday Memorial Show taking place from September 18 – 26th at La Luz De Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles. The opening reception is scheduled for what would have been Dee Dee’s 59th Birthday, Saturday September 18th, from 8:00 until 11:00 PM. I’m sure it will be quite a scene-making opportunity.

Dee Dee Ramone will forever be an enigmatic punk rock icon. While most are familiar with his musical legacy as a founding member and songwriter in the world famous Ramones, many are less aware of his talent for art and painting. La Luz de Jesus Gallery has assembled an exhibition of over thirty original pieces, many of which will be displayed for the very first time at this extraordinary event sanctioned by Dee Dee’s Estate to honor the rock legend. Also debuting at the show is a special Limited Edition commemorative archival lithograph featuring one of Dee Dee’s quintessential self-portraits “Dee Dee Ramone: The Blue Dragon,” as seen above. Somebody in LA who reads this blog,  please go and email me a report!

The Art of Dee Dee Ramone runs until September 26th at La Luz de Jesus Gallery, 4633 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles CA 90027.

A Day to Remember Freddie Mercury

Leave a comment

It’s hard to believe that Queen vocalist Freddie Mercury was just 45 years old when he passed away from complications due to AIDS in 1991. If Freddie were still alive, today, September 5th, 2010, would be his 64th birthday.  What an unbelievable loss. I miss you every day,  Freddie.
