Thee Oh Sees! Tonight.
Thee Oh Sees play at the Hi-Tone tonight. They put on my favorite show of Gonerfest 7. Tonight should be a lot of fun.
Jam Messengers. Saturday.
The Jam Messengers play the Goner store on Saturday night. It should be great.
Nice...and easy.
1972 Tina Turner for Pearl Drops---incredible.
It is shocking this commercial was ever made. But I'm glad it was.

The Black Beards or The White Beards.
Incredible history lesson from the wonderful Nixonland:
In 1968, nervous LBJ aides were worried about the youthful appeal of Robert Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy. A memo from then-press secretary George Reedy (described as a "white haired, pipe-sniffing" man) proposed the following:
"Organize one of those electric guitar 'musical' groups to travel around to meetings. It is not too difficult to get some kids with long hair and fancy clothes and give them a title such as 'The Black Beards' or 'The White Beards' and turn them loose. They don't have to be very good musically to get by as long as they have rythym and make enough noise."
The president responded that this idea "may deserve attention."
