she had another way of looking at life

car cruising junkies will dig the memory flick from 1979 van nuys boulevard set to driver's seat. Did we really play this one a month ago? Well we discovered a nice night cruise montage. My, my how time crawls when you are busy with your life. Maybe you should put down the remote, put away the dish soap, dry off, and go climb into your chariot for a little uber ubholstery darktime workout. Oh, the deuce-coupe fender cam; oh the tricked-out vans; oh the chicks and the jordaches; oh the jack-off-in-the-box; oh the car shops open all night; no worries, no problems, no seatbelts, no cares. Move to the trick of the beat. There is no relief. Take your place....

Hot Heat Isn't the thing that will burn you but it won't not burn you either, or neither, comprende?

There are some topics the milkshake doesn't cover. Mythology is one. That's all we have to say about that. Class is over now. Close your books. Open your m-i-n-d. See someone you dig? Catch her checkin' her look? That's fun! Maybe she's too hot to handle-- Maybe YOU'RE too hot to handle?? Ever wonder? Well we don't wonder. We just know. So do these guys. They knew back in the ass-kickin' 70s. And their wisdom is still true. And we like truth. Find your sidewalk-scraping bluejeans. Your mood ring. Your potato sack shirt. Go play this rocker and then go out hunting in the neon-lit night. Is the scene hot enough for you? Find out!

your problems just a toy balloon, they'll be bursting soon, they're just bound to go 'plop'

School daze are in session and we don't mean to repeat ourselves, but this favorite that we played a few years ago beckons. We know you love it. Listen and feel happy. As the man once said: pins and needles, needles and pins, a happy man is a man who grins. Now grin. Snap your fingers. And make that sound with your finger in your mouth that sounds like a 'pop'. Soon you'll be happy. See? That's why you came -- to get cheered up. And, oh, hello October, welcome!

sure it's like this

We put mysticism into simple ideas such as numbers, signs, colors, seasons and luck. You might be described as a red hot earth sign with the numbers 8 and 0, shapes of calderas and lava pools; or you might be a wind person with colors white and silver and numbers 1 and 4; or a nature person with the colors of clay and green gardens and number 2 and 7; or cool water blue, with 3 and 6. Blue for instance can be the blue sky of happiness or the melancholy of the blues. And then you might find yourself stoned blue. In which case, rock n roll will help you through! (And isn't that a segue you want to write home and tell the folks about? Hmmm??)

five copies to my mutha

Sunglinters can visit the nasa earth site to see the wonder and science of sunglint. Maybe you like northern lights. Seen any? Coming up on Monday night 9/22 is the opening episode of The Big Bang Theory. That's Monday not Thursday. Webheads go check out google earthcams and see what is happening on this little blue ball. Did you forget it's the 'ides of sept'? Things can be a little weird on the ides but nothing is as funky weird as Dr Hook's Cover of the Rolling Stone. Jeez we sang this alot in the 70s and jeez we we're high but it seems weirdly normal. Stoned. High. Silly. But....kinda makes sense.... esp. when viewed from a distance, ya know?
