I ate that????

*~Ushas~* — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 13:20:08 GMT

I can remember sharing many a meal with like-minded friends in the late 60s. We didn't always have a lot, but what we did, we gave freely. I ate so much rice during that time, I would have made Uncle Ben proud. What did you survive on when money was tight and friends weren't around for the nightly potluck?

George Carlin farewell

Watchdog30306 — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 21:04:44 GMT

I just read a tribe member's blog post with news I was unaware of before:

George Carlin farewell Mon, June 23, 2008 - 1:04 PM

By Rich Connell and Jason Song

Los Angeles Times

9:34 AM CDT, June 23, 2008

LOS ANGELES
Click here to find out more!

George Carlin, the acerbic, Grammy-winning comedian whose career spanned more than 50 years, died of heart failure Sunday after being admitted to the hospital complaining of chest pains, a hospital spokesman said. He was 71.

Carlin, who had a history of heart problems, died at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica shortly before 6 p.m., said his publicist Jeff Abraham.

The comedian, who toured college campuses for years and made a name for himself using dirty language and delivering biting social commentaries, had released 22 solo albums and three bestselling books.

He finished a show at The Orleans in Las Vegas last week and was planning to take the month off to relax and work on a new book of essays and musings, Abraham said.

Carlin normally took summers off and was scheduled to begin touring again beginning with a July 20 performance at Humphrey's Concerts By The Bay in San Diego. He had dates lined up through December, Abraham said.

"He was looking forward to it," Abraham said.

Carlin went to the hospital Sunday afternoon because "his heart just didn't feel right," the publicist said.

Carlin starred in a variety of TV and movie roles and gained fame for a routine about the seven dirty words that could not be uttered on television.

"There are three ingredients in my comedy," he said in a 1991 interview with the Los Angeles Times. "Those three things which wax and wane in importance are English language and wordplay; secondly, mundane, everyday observational comedy -- dogs, cats and all that stuff; and thirdly, sociopolitical attitude comedy."

He earned several gold comedy albums and five Emmy nominations.

Carlin was arrested in 1972 in Milwaukee for using indecent language. In a separate case in 1973, a radio listener complained after a station played part of his album. That case went the Supreme Court, which in 1978 ruled in favor of the Federal Communications Commission, saying the radio station could not broadcast those words at times when children could be listening.

Last year, he said a highlight of his career was a 1992 HBO special titled "Jamming in New York."

"That was the point where I probably became more of a writer who performed his own material.

"The material became more like essays, they became more socially conscious, and it was just a major jump from being what I think of as only an entertainer to being an artist-entertainer," he said in a 2007 Times interview.

Last year, Carlin released "George Carlin: All My Stuff," a 14-DVD collection of his HBO specials from 1977 to 2005. He had shown no signs of slowing down.

Just last week, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts announced Carlin would be awarded the 11th annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

The center is scheduled to honor Carlin at a tribute performance by former colleagues on Nov. 10, which will be broadcast later on PBS. Actor and comedian Billy Crystal won last year's Mark Twain prize.

Carlin was born May 12, 1937, in the Bronx and grew up in New York.

He is survived by wife Sally Wade; daughter Kelly Carlin McCall; son-in-law Bob McCall; older brother Patrick Carlin; sister-in-law Marlene Carlin and longtime manager, business partner and best friend Jerold Hamza. Carlin's first wife, Brenda, died in 1997.

Need surfer inspiration...

SashaD — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 06:04:21 GMT

Hi Everybody,

I am looking for some 60's "Surfer" films to rent. You know.... the ones with lots of scenes on beaches with a lot of surfer music playing and folks dancing. I'm especially interested in the music and dance scenes, not necessarily on Oscar-worthy performances. :o) Would anyone here remember any of their faves? Titles and if you can recall who is in it (so that I can find the film) would be most helpful.

Any suggestions you all can give me will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

happy birthday allen ginsberg

azee — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 15:36:59 GMT

It's the birthday of Allen Ginsberg, born in Newark, New Jersey (1926). His father was a schoolteacher and occasional poet. His mother was a Russian immigrant and devoted Marxist. She was in and out of psychiatric institutions all through out his childhood and had to undergo electric shock treatments and a lobotomy. Ginsberg went to Columbia University on a small scholarship and there he began consorting with Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady, William Burroughs. After college, he got a job in marketing research, wore a business suit everyday, and had on office on the 52nd floor of the Empire State Building. He says he started writing there, and that there he learned about careful manipulation of words.

He moved to San Francisco and became friends with Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who published Ginsburg's first major work, Howl.

By his 30s, he was prematurely bald with a ring of hair on the fringe of his head and thick long black beard streaked with gray. He wore black rimmed classes and his Buddha belly was one of his most distinguishing features.

Ginsburg's reading of Howl was reputed to have "turned the 1950s into the 1960s overnight." It began:

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix, angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of the night.

The death of his mother affected Ginsburg deeply and for a long time. He wrote his poem "Kaddish" for her, which began:

Strange now to think of you, gone without corsets & eyes, while I walk
on the sunny pavement of Greenwich Village.
downtown Manhattan, clear winter noon, and I've been up all night,
talking, talking, reading the Kaddish aloud, listening to Ray Charles
blues shout blind on the phonograph
the rhythm the rhythm — and your memory in my head three years after —

He once said, "There's no bar to us proclaiming our delight and that's the strength of poetry."

Plaid Polyester and Blue Man Group

Watchdog30306 — Fri, 30 May 2008 03:14:18 GMT

I knew that subject would be weird enough to get some attention, but then it's relevant to the post.

This is about those of us that are IN our 50s and 60s, and were children of the 60s. Coincidental math.

After getting my AARP card, rather than run out and purchase my old fart mis-matched plaid polyester shorts outfits with black socks and my belt pulled up to just under my nipples, I've chosen to stay awake and try to be awed by new things. There were so many radically new things back in the 60s. Things that were unlike anyone had seen or heard before. That's why we loved that time so much. I still look for new things, picking and choosing what I like. Rap/HipHop Music? Wearing my ball cap backwards? I'll pass. I think those were the first signs that I was ready to move out of the youth culture. Not interested in those at all. And considering how much incredible music I've owned by black musicians and singers, it's not racial I don't think.) Same thing with grunge rock. That sounded like white-kid garage band music to me. (And considering how much incredible music I've owned by WHITE musicians and singers......) Equal opportunity snubber.

Tonight, for the first time, I Googled for some vids of the Blue Man Group. I had a design assignment this week for a Las Vegas promo piece and ran across an ad for them and their Vegas show. I've heard of them for years, but tonight I Googled. I'm awed again. (May I always be AWED by things.) They're incredible. Like Laurie Anderson was incredible when I saw her in the 80s. Tonight, I wondered how many other 50- or 60-something-year-olds still feel this way. Still maintain a childlike curiosity about things.

I won't be leaving this planet until I simply can't be awed any more. Or until I have an overwhelming urge to go out and buy that grotesque plaid fashion statement. And if you ever see me with a backwards ballcap other than when roller-painting the ceiling, you have my permission to take me out.

Sidenote: Some fashion Nazi once said that if your over 20-something, you shouldn't wear shorts at all. To him I say, "Well this is the South, dahlin' and it's hotter than hell in the summer. I'm cooling my veiny legs whether it pleaseth you or not." (But absolutely WITHOUT black socks)

Not all fun and games

*~Ushas~* — Wed, 28 May 2008 16:48:29 GMT

When you mention that you were part of the psychedelic 60s, most intial reactions are that of , "Hey! All that free love," or "How f**ked up did you used to get?" Having been there, we all know that it wasn't all fun and games in the 60s. There was some very heavy s**t going on...s**t that a lot of us would like to forget...but never will.

So my friends, aside from Vietnam and Charlie Manson, what event(s) made you think that the party just might be over....

For me, it was Kent State. I don't know if any of you have heard, but thanks to the hard work of Alan Canfora (one of the survivors of that tragic day) a new tape recording has been discovered in which you can clearly hear the order to shoot the demonstrators. It is CHILLING to hear. Go to www.alancanfora.com and listen to one of our nation's "dirty little secrets."

While I am on a roll about mental health issues in the 60's, anybody read "The Eden Express" by Kurt's son, Mark Vonnegut about his experiences in a commune in British Columbia and the onset of schizophrenia that the cool hippies just couldn't handle on their own. Its a fascinating read.

happy birthday smokey + a request to you

azee — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 16:03:03 GMT

[see my request at end]

It's the birthday of songwriter Smokey Robinson, born William Robinson in Detroit, Michigan, 1940. His mother died when he was 10, around the same time he got his nickname, Smokey. His uncle took him to a cowboy matinee and gave William a cowboy name as a joke, "Smokey Joe."

Growing up in Detroit, Smokey was friends with Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross. While he was still in high school, he formed the singing group "The Miracles." Smokey wrote about love in Motown, hits like "My Girl," "The Way You Do the Things You Do," and "You've Really Got a Hold on Me." Fellow musician Bob Dylan called Smokey "America's greatest living poet."

... if anyone knows where i can go on the internet to hear MORE LOVE by smokey, please let me know. i have searched you tube, to no avail. not only is it my number one favorite by my home boy, it's probably in my top 5 motown hits of all time... thank you, aurelia.

The Taylor Family

Druben — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 19:17:45 GMT

I'm reading this book on McLean's Psychiatric Hospital outside Boston entitled "Gracefully Insane" becuase the place was really a excusive sanitarium for the rich and famous (i.e. Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, Ray Charles and the three of the Taylor kids). There is a chapter on James and his sibs being there called "Hippie or Hippiphrenia" about life in the 60's when the music therapist put together rock bands that even cut records. So James was there for depression (not for his heroin addiction which came later and he went to Austin Riggs for that in Stockbridge Mass, and must have liked the area because that is where he lives now. What I found fascinating was that the Taylor family (dad was dean of the Medical School of North Carolina in Chapel hill) sent three of their five children to the same loonie bin: Kate (of Sister Kate fame) and Livingston. Both became fames musicians in their own right. Must have been fun times at Mclean in those days.

It's the birthday of author and philosopher Alan Watts, born in Chislehurst, England (1915), who interpreted Eastern philosophy for the Western world. His most well-known books include The Meaning of Happiness (1940), The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for the Age of Anxiety (1950), and The Way of Zen (1957). He once said, "To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float."

His big break came in 1955, when he recorded "Uncle John" and "Who Do You Love?" for Chess Records in Chicago, and these two songs became the foundation for early rock 'n' roll. He once said, "I opened the door for a lot of people, and they just ran through and left me holding the knob."

Some Jerky Boy on dark poetry tribe thinks he's being funny. I know I'm stirring things up, and I'm really not for stirring things up, but these young people today need some schooling on what it is to be a hippie. or child of th e60's . It was about the peace and love, not the sex and drugs. The link below goes to some darko self absorbed provocateur type's posting, so I'd avoid taking his bait and getting angry, he seems to thrive on it. Don't go there if you don't want to be upset.

The Good Old Days?

ZyAnn — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 17:12:25 GMT

It seems sometimes we are inclined to romanticize the Good old Days. Then again there are certain aspects of yesterday, when the past was better. As with everything there's good and bad in the mix. So tell me what do you think was better about the 60's in comparison to now?

happy birthday john lennon

azee — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 15:09:10 GMT

It's the birthday of John Lennon, born in Liverpool, England (1940), who formed his first rock band in high school, called the Quarrymen. He was performing at a church social in the summer of 1957 when a boy in the audience named Paul McCartney saw him for the first time. McCartney later said he was impressed by how tough Lennon looked on stage, like he was challenging the audience to a fight. In fact, Lennon had gotten into a fight with his aunt earlier in the evening, and he was just glaring at her while he sang. Lennon and McCartney became friends later that night, and they formed the band that became The Beatles.

It's the birthday of fashion designer (Gabrielle) Coco Chanel, born in Saumur, France (1883). Along with the perfume Chanel No. 5, which came out in 1922, she introduced turtleneck sweaters, trench coats, costume jewelry, bell-bottom trousers, bobbed hair, and the "little black dress."

Chanel said, "I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like."

As a member of the Seattle Boys Choir, I was fortunate to have sang in front of the band (which featured Dick Powell on guitar and Rod Pilloud on drums) for a memorable April '69 afternoon of rehersals for the production at the Seattle Opera House . They cut our section of the score, but the memory of that day has stuck with me....since I was 10 years old.....

happy anniversary john & paul

azee — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 17:12:34 GMT

It was on this day in 1957 that two teenagers named John Lennon and Paul McCartney first met at a church dance in Liverpool, England. Lennon was performing at the dance with his band and McCartney was in the audience. McCartney was impressed by John's singing, so he introduced himself after the performance. They didn't hit it off until Paul mentioned that he played guitar, and he knew how to tune one. John was even more impressed that Paul knew the lyrics of recent rock and roll songs. John could never remember lyrics, which was why he often made up new ones while he was singing. Paul volunteered to write out the lyrics for the song "Be Bop a Lula" for John, and the two became fast friends. By 1959, they were calling themselves The Beatles.

Season of the Witch

adamlink — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 02:48:05 GMT

One of my favorite songs from the 60's was Donovan's "Season Of The Witch".
It's such a great song, that a long list of covers have been done (most of which are also great)....so far, I know of covers by

Al Kooper & Stephen Stills
Blues Brothers
Donovan
Hole
Julie Driscol, Brian Auger & the Trinity
Lou Rawls
Luna
Robert Plant
Vanilla Fudge

What I want to know is...does anyone know the REAL story behind the song? Did Donovan ever say why he wrote it?

I read one story that may just be pure guesswork.............
The song takes its title from the Sea Witch nightclub on Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. It was a small club where Donovan used to play.
Another place, I read........
This was inspired by a 1965 British horror movie called The Night Of The Eagle

Does anyone know the truth? I even heard he was writing about a past love!

"Summer of Love" Our Nagasaki and Heroshima? No, it was far worse.

Mon, 05 Feb 2007 20:46:08 GMT

Social Narcissism: A primordial need to create a virtual equivalence of society to defend and protect a sustained delusion supporting psychopathic distortion.

Child abuse, child neglect, children orphaned by AIDS, teenage pregnancy, death and disease related to drug use, family break-up, psychiatric care, and medical care related to drug use have exponentially increased since the Summer of Love "explored and re-invented minds".

Is it a "legacy" deserving respect? There will not be specific and concrete answers why the legacy should be respected from the narcisists who created the delusion. They will not and cannot relate to being held responsible for the consequences of their behavior. The consequences sited (i.e. child abuse) will always be attributed to something other than individual responsibility.

The atomic bombs at Nagasaki and Heroshima killed 200,000 plus men,women and children. However, the psycho-social bombs dropped on us by the delusional thinking serving as foundation for the Summer of Love, has massacred millions.

Ultimately, were campus politics naive?

Druben — Mon, 19 Feb 2007 17:57:45 GMT

I have been seeing some films from the 60's or about them: "Berkeley in the 60's and "Love and Anger" made in 1969 with Bertolucci, Pasolini, Goddard and and I was struck by how naive and simplistic the politics were. The appeals to oppressive Marxist regimes as the salvation of the people and the encouragement to turn away from democratic processes because it takes too long and ends up with bourgeous values seems dangerous now and not at all what I think most liberals would endorse. The critique of Marxism being the protector of creativity and freedom just has not panned out and I think there was ample evidence of this in the 60's. So why did radicals deliberately ignore what was really happening in China, Cuba and the Societ Union in order to hold up these as models of the revolutionary spirit?

I just watched the documentary on Patty Hearst called "Guerrilla: the taking of Patty Hearst" and it left a lot of unanswered questions. Was she truly brainwashed? Or could she have been in collaboration with her abductors from the start? They, after all, were hip cool people that weren't all that different from Patty herself? What do people think of the outcome of it all? How her sentence was commuted and she went on to become an actress. Was she a terrorist or a victim of terror?

Summer OF Love Festival 2007

deborahpaulino — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 17:49:25 GMT

Press and Release

Dateline: Haight Ashbury, San Francisco
Tuesday, December 12, 2006

What is the Summer of Love?

Here in Haight Ashbury that question has been brewing for the past 6 months. May be to find answers we should look at what really happened in 1967 and its legacy and how it can benefit us today. This is the aim of the Summer Of Love Festival, based in Haight Ashbury San Francisco where it all began. It is also the research mission of their Director, Deborah Paulino, who wasn’t there in 1967 but has enough respect for its legacy to do some homework.

The events in 1967 known as the Summer Of Love spanned from January 14 with the Human Be In at the Golden Gate Park Polo Fields and ended October 6 with the Death Of Hippie parade down Haight St., and may events of different natures and content in between and shortly after there and around the world. The promoters and artists of the time were mostly unconnected. The influences of that time were the cause of their simultaneous happenings, some of which are recorded in history books, others only remembered by those who where there.

Hippies, LSD, and Deadheads were only a small part of what was happening in 1967 San Francisco. There were also the intellectuals from Berkeley, the Beatniks from North Beach, the Flower Children from the evangelistic Christian Churches, Bikers from the Hells Angels, the African Americans and more. This experiment spread out all over the world to Boston, New York, London, Los Angeles, Australia, and other Western centers of culture and education. Summer Of Love in 1967 was about youth and the new ideas from young exploring and re-inventing minds.

It was an era of bringing together and celebrating different urban cultures in a gathering of tribes and a living community experiment called Haight Ashbury. It also was an attempt to find ways to heal the world’s problems, then as now the major issue of war, but also the environment, homelessness, free medical for the needy, freedom of expression, and integration and sharing of cultural exchanges.

It also opened Western eyes to indigenous cultures, then the wisdom of the North American and South American Indians, the Eastern mysticism of India. And since then the Australian Aborigines, the African Tribes, Mahamedism, Eskimo, Chinese, Japanese, Tibetan and more. Western society today is inspired by these cultures and freedom of expression in music, drum circles, natural health care, fashion, dance, spirituality, lifestyle, poetry, astrology, and philosophy.

Their 1967 legacy to us is the ecliptic cultural freedom we take for granted in urban centers today. Other cultural identities developed from and since 1967 like the Punks and Rastafarians in the 1970s, the Rainbow Tribes and environmentalists in the 1970s, the Gay, Lesbian, and Goth in the late 1970s and early 1980, and the Electronic Music or Rave Culture and Heavy Metal Culture of the late 1980s early 1990s. And in the 21st Century many urban cultures often known by their favorite music genres like Hip Hop, Industrial, Grunge, or interests like Geeks, New Age, Neo Tribal, Gamers, and Gothic Vampires.

Summer Of Love today is not about dusting off your hippy beads and bell-bottoms as a fashion statement, it is more about dusting off you philosophy and poetry books and checking out what’s new. The Summer Of Love Festival is about new ideas, new arts, new technology, and new ways to help the planet and its many and varied peoples.

This is all of what Summer Of Love Festival 2007 is honoring and celebrating.

The Summer Of Love Festival is an open program of multiple events presented by various promoters, organizations, and non-profits, which are at this moment gathering on the website’s Presenters list. The events range from one day concerts in the park to 3-day camp out music and lifestyle festivals, to open mics, to BurningMan-esq costume galas, to 60’s tribute cabarets, to sketch comedy, to electronic music street fairs, plus more events joining as they are discovered.

Also on the Summer Of Love Festival project list are compilation CD’s of music and spoken word, and t-shirts with fine art and poetry using print on demand technology. Unlike many namesake anniversaries before, Summer of Love Festival aims to give exposure to its individual artists and actually pay them per CD or t-shirt sold. A portion of the net profits will also be distributed amongst charities.

“Our aim is to honor the events of 1967 by promoting artists and presenters celebrating eclectic culture in their own way in the now. 1967 Promoted the freedom of religion, speech, and self-expression we take for granted today. Not only in events such as USA’s Burning Man and Berlin/SF Love Parade, but it also opened urban eyes to the culture and wisdom of indigenous and ancient cultures in spirituality, health care, fashion, and environmentally friendly lifestyles, technology, and industry.” Deborah Paulino stated.

Please create a free account on the web site at http://www.summeroflovefestival.com to receive updates and to post your links. To list your event in the Summer Of Love Festival program and be part of the Presenters list is free.

James Brown

adamlink — Tue, 26 Dec 2006 01:04:42 GMT

Though James Brown had his first hit in 1956, the 60's were full of James Brown songs. Between 1967 and 1969 alone, he recorded 16 albums!

In my younger days, I was dating a girl who really liked James Brown. So when he came to town for a concert, I took her, and was amazed at just how much of himself he put into his show! I have long since lost touch with that girl, but have vivid images to this day of James Brown at work.

Anyone else see him perform live?

Rules of Sex

Fri, 01 Dec 2006 22:04:07 GMT

A man wonders if having sex on the Sabbath is a sin because he is not sure if sex is work or play.

So he goes to a priest and asks for his opinion on this question. After consulting the bible, the priest says, " My son, after an exhaustive search, I am positive that sex is work and is therefore not permitted on Sundays."

The man thinks: " What does a priest know about sex?" So he goes to a minister, who after all is a married man and experienced in this matter. He queries the minister and receives the same reply. "Sex is work and therefore not for the Sabbath!"

Not pleased with the reply, he seeks out the ultimate authority: a man of thousands of years tradition and knowledge. In other words, he goes to a Rabbi. The Rabbi ponders the question, then states, " My son, sex is definitely play." The man replies, "Rabbi, how can you be so sure when so many others tell me sex is work?" The Rabbi softly speaks, "If sex were work, my wife would have the maid do it."

60's books

adamlink — Sat, 02 Dec 2006 05:41:29 GMT

Does anyone remember this book: Sam, The Ceiling Needs Painting

All of the pages had footprints only, in various positions.
The one on the cover had two pairs of feet, and from the position of the feet, it was obvious it was a couple having sex in the missionary postion.
I thought it was hilarious.

How about the Eggbert (and Eggberta) books.....two babies still in the womb saying hilarious things.

Another one of my favorites were the Sol Weinstein books about super spy Israel Bond, agent Oy-Oy-Seven. The first in the series was called Loxfinger, and the second was Matzohball.

Name that tune?

adamlink — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 03:02:43 GMT

How about a game? Someone names a line from a song that came out some time in the 60's (but it can't be the first line of the song), and the next person tries to guess the name of the song.
Then, that person comes up with a line.

What song is this from?

You might have seen me running through the long abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind

Genesis touring 2007

bobs — Tue, 07 Nov 2006 21:55:00 GMT

By Tim Masters
Entertainment editor, BBC News website

Rock supergroup Genesis have announced a comeback stadium tour across Europe in summer 2007, promising to play songs from most eras of their history.

Phil Collins will tour with Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks for the first time in 15 years - the only UK dates are at Twickenham and Old Trafford.

Collins said the tour was about playing classic songs, not about making money.

"We're all loaded enough not to worry about where the next million or two is coming from," he said.

'Right time'

"If money was the issue, we'd be playing more than 20 shows," added the musician.

The Genesis Turn It On Again Tour takes in 12 countries starting in Helsinki, Finland in June 2007 and ending in Rome, Italy in July.

"I just felt now was the right time to have a go at it," said Collins, who quit Genesis in 1996.

"I left the band and I did some things on my own, and the guys carried on. I used to listen to odd bits and pieces at home and I missed the camaraderie a bit."

He said the band members had always stayed friends and had discussed getting back together many times.

"We would bring it up every time we sat down together. Sometimes we talked ourselves out of it and finally we decided this was as good a time as any to do something."

The two British dates are Twickenham Stadium in London on 7 July and Old Trafford in Manchester on 8 July. A series of US dates are also planned.

The band revealed that the orginal idea had been to reform with ex-bandmates Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett and perform the 1974 concept album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.

Prog promise

Collins said that the five members had met and discussed the plan, but Gabriel had been "more sensitive" about what such a reunion would mean.

"This is just music, us getting together and playing some songs," he said. "Peter has been doing his thing since he left and he is just a little over-cautious about going back."

Gabriel was a founding member of the band, singing with them until 1975, when he left to pursue a solo career.

Keyboardist Tony Banks said that the Genesis gigs would include songs from most albums in the band's history.

"If Genesis is playing on the radio, it tends to be Follow You Follow Me or I Can't Dance," said Banks.

"Genesis has another side to it, a more complex area of music. One side gets slightly more attention than the other. We are trying to reacquaint people."

Asked what the band thought of the recent All Saints reunion, Banks replied: "I'm afraid I didn't know they had split up. I haven't listened to very much since 1968."

Cult success

Genesis sold over 130m albums during the 1970s and 80s, scoring hits with albums such as Nursery Cryme, Selling England By The Pound and Invisible Touch.

They started out as a progressive rock band, but took a more commercial direction when Collins took over as lead singer

The 80s saw them score a run of top 40 singles, including Mama, That's All and In Too Deep.

After Collins left in 1996, he was replaced by former Stiltskin singer Ray Wilson.

He recorded one album, 1997's Calling All Stations, with remaining members Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks before the band was put on indefinite hiatus - until now.

Sixties' crushes

adamlink — Wed, 14 Jun 2006 13:39:50 GMT

When I was barely a teenager, I developed a powerful crush on actress Barbara Feldon, after seeing her say "Hi, Tiger" while trying to sell me Top Brass hair lotion. I mean, she was on a tigerskin rug, and she just about purred herself! When Get Smart came on, I never missed an episode. (I loved the show too, but it was Barbara's Agent 99 that kept me glued to the TV.)

Then one Sunday, looking at the Philadelphia Inquirer, I saw that Barbara was going to be coming to Philadelphia to play the female role in a show called "LUV". I didn't have any idea what the show as about, or who wrote it, I only knew that I had to start saving my allowance!

That was the first live theater I had ever seen, and I was close enough to the stage that I didn't need binoculars or anything to see the woman of my dreams. Unfortunately, they wouldn't let me backstage afterwards! (Insert various curses here!!!)

I never did meet her, but for years I had an autographed photo I received in response to a fan letter, and would look at as often as I could.

Who did you have a crush on?

Pizza

adamlink — Sat, 04 Feb 2006 18:48:22 GMT

My younger friends have no idea what I'm talking about when I talk about the Pizza I remember. I just can't seem to find anywhere today that makes Pizza like they did when I was growing up in Philly in the 60's.

My favorite was from a truck that sold Pizza by the slice. The crust was thin, but chewy; the sauce was wonderful; the cheese was always the kind that would leave a long string dangling; there was a fine drip of oil off the surface of the pizza but it never poured oil; and the seasonings where perfect.

Does anyone remember pizza back then as fondly as I do? And can anyone tell me a place today that makes it like that still?
