You remember that? There were all kinds of clues on Beatles records that claimed that Paul was dead. Backward taping claimed it too right? Paul has a hand over his head on the Sgt Pepper record and that means that he is dead..
He has his back turned on the back cover. Freaky stuff.. It was all created by some pot smoking college kid’s you know?
I wonder about all the super natural stuff surrounding the Beatles – if it ever freaked them out… You know Charlie had a big interest in The Beatles.
John Lennon said he did over 1000 acid trips… That’s like being crazy every day for over 3 years.. Isn’t that cool?
Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds = LSD
The rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies. That’s one of the coolest lyrics around huh? Sounds like Johnny was trippin!
Oh he came up with some silly story about his kid coming home with a drawing of “Lucy” in the sky with diamonds… I don’t buy it… He MEANT to do that…. That’s the creative side of acid shining huh?
Now,without the drugs,would the Beatles have come up with such great songs? Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields, The Fool on the Hill? Drug music huh?
Hmmm? I think that one of the 2 times I tried it as a teenager…(Believing in acid creativity) made me crazy for life!
So you wanna be a rock and roll star? Heck, so do I. Of course being at the right place at the right time may be the key to becoming one. But having a good look, music, and attitude also play an important roll… Agreed?
Here is some tips to becoming a rock star… Or at least a good popular music musician.
Start Young The fact is most famous rockers get started EARLY. There’s just no way around it… The fans want young people to rock and roll… If your in your 40’s (like me) it may be time to just accept that it’s a hobby and your chances of making the big time are over… You are now a weekend warrior in the clubs or a church musician.
Listen to The Beatles This is almost as good as going to music school. People have told me that they “don’t like the Beatles” well, whatever… But the way they constructed songs for popular music is unbeatable… (pardon the pun) You simply have to have strong well written songs to get attention…Mediocrity is everywhere. You have to stand out with good material.
Be Beautiful With MTV and videos and stuff being a good looking person is mandatory. You may be talented as Buddy Holly, but if you don’t look good…Forget it. I know…Like Metallica says..Sad but true.
Live Performance If your like me and others I know, churning out songs in your home music lab but not playing live means you WILL NOT get heard. You have to start a buzz in your home town to get some local notoriety first. Which brings me to my next point.
Get Famous at Home Many people I have known thought you have to run off to LA or something in order to get famous…They usually end up here in Tulsa UNfamous… That’s just the fact of the matter… If your good you should be able to make it right where your from… Put your home town on the map and quit thinking you have to run off to some big town to make it.
Have a gimick As I said before… You need to stand out. Getting up with your acoustic guitar and singing sweet James Taylor songs is not enouph… You have to be able to “entertain.”That may be with good MC skills and/or props to mezmerize the audiance.
Watch that Party Train I sometime wonder if I would have become a famous rock star if I had not ever attended the Sunday Budweiser Brunch every week… Sex, drugs and rock and roll… A good work ethic without the party stuff can make you go places faster. Better, Stronger.
There are many tips I could think of but I gotta get to bed now… Heck,, I aint’ a rock star or anything… I’d have to pay for coke out of a working man’s salery to stay up all night like a rock star. 🙂
You ever heard that Stevie Nicks needed a little help from a roadie with her cocaine problem? Tis true my friends. That girl knew how to do some blow. Well sort of. This is the deal:
She supposedly had damaged her nose from so much cocaine use… She simply couldn’t do any more…So she had a roadie take a straw and blow it up her ass.
That sounds pretty extreme huh?
How badly could somebody want go get high… Well, this was before the invention of crack which does’t require snorting it.
Those 70’s drug bands played hard… I like Fleetwood Mac better than The Eagles. They were the 2 big drug bands back in the day.
I wonder if the Eagles did as many drugs as the Rumors Gang did?
Rick wright was always pretty cool.. Under rated perhaps for his contribution to Pink Floyd.. I often enjoyed his vocals on early tracks like “summer 68” and “remember a day”…
In fact his song “The Great Gig in the Sky” is actually my favorite song on the Dark Side of the Moon record…And the song rarely got any airplay…. It amazed me when I read that the singer on that track was a white chick.
His tickling of the piano like he did was usually amusing to me on the records. Along with his innovative organ and synthesizer playing fully contributed to the overall Pink Floyd style. Richard… RIP You will be missed…
Everybody does it I guess… Of course you can buy cheap music from sites other than the big ones…I believe they are hosted in Russia or something. Like this one.
The Limewire experience sucks anyways… Tons of fake files and viruses…Tons of duplicate files and other risky junk from that horrible network of computer pirates.
But of course the music industry pushed for all of this digital crap..Right? They wanted to move forward with CD’s and put cassettes and vinyl records out the window for-ever…. Now that stuff is easy duplicated at full quality and shared… With Everyone…Worldwide. You want U2’s complete catalog? It’s there for the taking… If you want to take the risk… And or course it’s morally wong and illegal…Agreed?
atles records that claimed that Paul was dead. Backward taping claimed it too right? Paul has a hand over his head on the Sgt Pepper record and that means that he is dead..
