The Wrecking Crew


This may just blow your mind
...is that 60's jargon, or what?...when you think you have heard it all, along comes this docu that will knock your socks off...OK, enuff of that...the music...the sounds...the beats...the guitar licks...all done by a group of studio musicians...NOT BY THE FAMOUS BANDS!...it was the era...The Beach Boys, the Phil Spector records, the Association, the Mamas and Papas, the _____...you name 'em, the sound tracks were done by these OTHER dudes, and one gal...who did the music for any of the Sonny & Cher hits?...the Wrecking Crew...perhaps, 20 of them...maybe more, maybe less...the mantra was 'You need a gig?...come join us'...there were 4 or 5 stable ones...that played on most...

Hal Blaine on the drums...Carol Kaye (the ONE gal) on electric bass...Glen Campbell ( yes that one) on guitar...Leon Russell on keyboards...Tommy Tedesco on guitar...yea, that's who did the sounds of those famous Beach Boys hits...on the vinyls...the 'stars' did the vocals, I presume...the real trick for them and the famous bands...was to recreate the music for the live shows...the concerts...

The band...started to dissolve away...when the 'famous' bands...started doing their REAL music...Crosby Stills and Nash led the revolution...

Find this gem on YouTube...and it will keep your interest for sure...just when you thought you knew everything...

The Phoenix Suns came in to LaLa and finished off the Lakers...Devin Booker hit for 47 points!...and the Show is over for the James crew...who, I lost so much respect for...in his last 2 games he left early...LeBron didn't stay around to shakes hands with the victors...off he went to pout in the locker room...classless...man, I'd get right into his face...

The mighty Padres did make it home...to take on the Mets...won, in a thriller, 4-3...Jr hit another tater, that was nearly caught, but not...broke their 4 game road losing streak, but kept alive their now 11 game winning streak at home...

Former VP Pence had a bit of a commentary on his former boss, trump...that 'he and I will never see, eye to eye, on the Jan 6 attempt at...a coup'...well, I added the latter part of that...I mean, donny q had them going after Pence...oh my...been better, if the group of forevers, turned course and got donny on a rail and rode him out of DC...ha ha...'O Brother, Where Art Thou'...like...

While I am at that...another example of not only some body else's music, but some body else's voices...in that film...

The BEST album of the day...man, I am not even going to go there...what is real and what is not?...

Gonna try golf again this am...wish me luck...

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
