When they...Here's my observation of the El Orbits. When they started with Charlie it was like totally lounge and death to Hippies and hIppy stuff and Davey fought the Hippy element at the lounge and finally left it as a result of it before the fans rejected the rest of the hippy stuff in the area and it all went down. Then Mr. Hinkel and later kid kept increasing the HIppy atmosphere- I remember Mr. HInkel sneaking in more and more 70s post HIppy Pop to the playlist and like Kid went real hippy and did the shoulder moves. And for a while Davey upped the lounge and Moon PIes and Soul Food and things not hippy. But then after hinting at free he goes free like a real hippy and that's great- I mean <BR/>win a date, free soul food, free video games, it's great. But like now the strip is slowly going total hippy and Tim Hardin- my god- I heard If I was a Carpenter while eating a Taco and the Houston Press signaled out the Hippy creep in an article, I forget which one. And like they have an 80s band with the Longe and Lite Rock that I requested when I was older and not as smart and the lead singer is total hippy child. And now Davey's in a commune for old hIppy artists in the desert living in an airspeed and god knows what,. <BR/>He probably seriously watched the Pledge Drive showing of Monterey Pop and "got off to it" on his PBS while smoking some of the funny smokes with the artists. I'm barred from his old haunt but man I bet Mr. Gray and Al are in shock. Charlie is probably rolling in his grave! I blame it on the Y kids influence and their boomer parents. It's this Goddamn Mr. Rogers saying we're all special just for showing up and we all get uniform grades in <BR/>Basket Weaving and Humanistic Psychology and get to have free love with all the girls at work and start out as the boss. Ar this point Davey probably refers to Ricky Nelson as Rick and reckons the Garden Party album is his only good work and the rest is trash. i guess I just don't get it. I do have Beggar's Banquet and The White Album and yes even Talking Book on Vinyl but Tim Harden- the next vinyl I'm after is Two Steps From the Blues and I don't do post Riot Sly & The Family Stone. My 60s part is Velvet Underground not David Crosby. I'm still after a clean copy of the first Wee Hours ep from Sinatra and the amazing Going Places vinyl. I always thought Davey was tie clips and BBQ/Lucky Burgers and stuff but man was I sure wrong. Oh well maybe I'm getting the creep too, the Gen X thing is dead and I'm following the lead of the Ys too. I hear we all have a hippy lite in us and maybe I just didn't want to admit it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
