thank you for this bitter knowledge...

Heard on the news that is Rufus' birthday today,.

Haven't listen to him lately.. but man.. I remember when I first heard this tune.. and everything in it.. called my attention so much.. from the title to the Queen-like chorus.. which I miss so much..

if you don't mind... I don't mind

I love the Buzzcocks, because when I was living in London with my bro and good mate Charlie, we went looking for bargain records on whatever pawn shops we could find...

One day we bough for just 1 ₤ each The Head on the Door by the Cure and Singles Ready Steady by the Buzzcoks.
In that compilation there are great songs.. like Noise Annoys, Orgasm Addict, What do I get?, Whatever Happened ...

Suddenly this song came on the air.. and couldn't help singing this on top ...

Where the skies are so blue..

We were playing last Friday.. and then some guys from the crowd asked us to play "Sweet Home Alabama".. So we did..

When we were done.. I came to talk with them.. and this girl, asked me which was my all time favorite American Band.. and I said.. "The Doors", she didn't even know who they were.. and asked me why.. Didn't have to think about it.. "well.. the lyrics are clever, the music is incredible, they are sort of the most original and daring band I've ever heard.."

Then she asked me about Bob Dylan.. well.. I said.. "he's not a band.. but he must be the greatest performer and writer of the century and his influence goes beyond music".. Then she said,... "He's English right ? " .. "WHAT ??! " ,, "Dylan English ???.. how can you say that ???"

"He went all the way from Minnesota to New York, to get on the folk circuit and became an icon for singing for civil rights in America ".. Her face was like if I was speaking in Chinese..

.. so bad there was no time to speak about Neil Young..

Through the sleeples nights I cry for you..

Listened to this song 80 times now..

Printed the chords and lyrics and will record it myself .. maybe this evening..

It's on the last record from Eddie Vedder, Ukulele songs.. great surprise.

Do I Deserve to be ? ...

This is the best example of what a Rock Band should be..

But the greatest thing on Pearl Jam were Eddie's originality in lyrics.

Back then I was just, listening to all the stuff inside this songs.. the drums are still something out of the best I've ever heard.. Dave Krusen, left the band just after Ten was released.. and I really believe they never sounded better than this.. at least on a record..

The guitars are just McCready doing Hendrix and Gossard doing Jimmy Page,... really .. listen to it..

And Jeff Ament.. well.. amazing bass player.. Jeremy has one of the best bass lines in rock...

And the guy who was leading them, Eddie Vedder.. in the great tradition of Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, a real guy showing his feelings ...

if you need to find me, just go to the end of the longest line

Love hardcore bands .. from the 80's and 90's ...

When I first heard NOFX.. I couldn't believe it.. man !! they were playing like Metallica with Queen backing vocals.. and not pretending to be bigger-than-life ... real punk rock attitude..

Saw them live when they released Punk in Drublic .... that record was great.. the only problem is that their three previous releases were even better.. Ribbed, White Trash, Two heebs and a bean and the EP The Longest Line, where this song, obviously, is found.

Now they are coming to Barcelona to play next Tuesday and my good mate Luis bought tickets to go..

So I am back again playing air drums while listening to this old stuff..

Check it out..



In the darkest tunnel it's nice to see a light
not just a headlight
like the one that's heading right for me
it would be nice if things could turn out right
turn out right yeah
don't think I'll ever see the day

I must have done something wrong
or maybe pissed off God
I think of Chinese food when I think of life
that's sweet and sour
my life is sweet as saccharine
you know three week old milk and grapes are not
not the same, no
I am the one Johnny Carcinogen

I must have fucked with some witch
in turn she cursed me, cursed my life
at the end of the longest line
that's where I will always be
if you need to find me, just go to
the end of the longest line

But officer that was a yellow light
the light was red, son
insubordination, reckless driving
I must be wrong, this can't be right
I don't belong, this world is much to dangerous
for someone lacking luck, like me

At the end of the longest line
that's where I will always be
if you need to find me, just go to
the end of the longest line
at the end of the longest line
that's where I will always be
at the end of the longest line

This bloody mary's lacking a tabasco...

man ..!! have fun, make a band, write a song, say I love you to a girl.. get drunk, get naked.. go to the beach, sleep on the sand... take a plane, take a ride on your motorbike.. draw your face on a paper and hang it on the wall..

but enjoy.. !!!!!
