Happy Birthday, Peter Louis Vincent de Freitas, 2 August 1961 - 14 June 1989, of Echo & the Bunnymen fame.Your beats inspired an entire generation of budding young drummers to get a kit & give it a kick. Until EBM hit the scene, we'd never encountered such stylish, one-of-a-kind, hard-driving tunes reflecting our youthful ennui & inner angst (it sounds silly now, but it's the truth). For those of us destined for other instruments, like our own voices &/or guitar, any time your music came on, be it in a packed club or just our crowded living room full of misfit punkrock miscreants, every single one of us was compelled to immediately jump to our feet & dance like crazy people whose lives depended on it until the ultimate note/chord/beat of the very last song had ceased to vibrate. Man, the world lost you way too soon. Sure wish u were still here with us to celebrate your entry upon the world's stage, my musical brother. Rock in Peace & Blessed Be. SRW, NorCal.

I don't know if any of you have noticed my new profile picture.

I figured that if I have to live like a hermit, I might as well look like one.

It's the longest my hair has been since the summer of 1970.

I hope some of you were able to watch Laurel Canyon on Epix the last two Sundays.

It is a great documentary of the music of the late 60s. 

Artists include Mamas and Papas, Byrds, CSN&Y, Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt and many more.

[MaVolta]

@BobH07  -  I didn't get to watch it over the weekend, but assume it will be available for a while. I was going to subscribe to Epix for a while b/c there was another series that I wanted to see. I hope to see Laurel Canyon, sounds really interesting.
