Yesterday....
Yesterday was June 1st.
\
It was the 42nd anniversary of the release of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, by The Beatles.
Around this time, May 22nd, in 1967, as well, The Monkees released the album "Headquarters", which did okay on the charts... for a minute or two, before the marketing Whallop of "Pepper". Shame, really. They got along as friends, both bands did, and I wish that creativie entities, who have more commercial pull over other entities could share the stage, time, and spotlight. That's the drag of the biz though. The Biz.... maybe i we should be all mad at "the biz"... i mean, look at what we're dealing with right now as far as the spectrum of commercial audio (TV, radio, big money labels and media consolidation firms). God Bless the underground. God Bless the bands who continue to play, and the solo artists who just keep themselfves alive. God bless those who are seeking at least a little attention, I hope that you get it and are enjoyed by people that you WANT to listen to your stuff. Targets. Find some.
peace, and keep yourself alive.
