Glory Daze
No foolin'!!! This was one of the best shows I've seen in SD in years. Raney, Butler and company definitely gave the kiddie bands that play the kiddie clubs a "good musical spanking." (Yeah, I stole that last line from the late Country Dick Montana.) Too bad the big labels aren't interested in rockers over 25 let alone 50. I'm gonna bet that the best (only???) rock n' roll being played these days is by guys like Glory. If a blues singer hits his prime at 60, why can't a rock star?— June 8, 2010 5:33 p.m.
Posthumous Bangs
If you read the Jim Derogatis book Let It Blurt, page 94, you find out the Bangs was doing a Lenny Bruce imitation when he made that comment about El Cajon. Now, if I was imitating Sarah Palin and said "Drill, baby, drill," I wouldn't want people to think that was my personal opinion. If I was imitating Richard Nixon and said "We must bomb Cambodia," I wouldn't want people to think that was my opinion. Let It Blurt is online if anybody wants to see the actual context of the quote. But, the real focus of the article was the event at Grossmont. Did anybody go? Did the Reader send a writer? I heard that Jerry Raney from the Beat Farmers, Jack Butler from Private Domain, and Jack Pinney from the original Iron Butterfly were going to be there. They all went to El Cajon High with Bangs and jammed with him in Thee Dark Ages.— May 21, 2010 6:38 p.m.
