Just For The Record

This is a good idea for a thread to compensate for all the sad ones. :)

And way better than the Celebrities Who Died On Their Birthday thread I was about to start.

YUP!! Great choice Horse - one of the best ever instrumentals. Duane's bass guitar (one of the few I mastered many years ago) and that sax is sheer magic.

Happy Birthday Kim Gordon (63)

Sonic Youth are one of my favourite bands and Kim is one of rock's female superstars. I was bummed out when she and Thurston split up their marriage and the band.

Photos I took at a "secret" Sonic Youth show at a small club in Orlando in 2000:

Here's a link to download all of the photos I took of the band in 2000. It's only a 15 MB file because it was an early digital camera with limited storage capacity. The first few photos were taken from my front row seat at a large amphitheater show where they were opening for Pearl Jam. I was ejected from the venue during their short set by a surly security guard who I'd previously had a confrontation with because he kept asking to see my ticket to "prove" that I was in the right seat. After the third time I asked him to please stop interrupting the performance and he walked away and came back with 3 big security personnel and told them that I'd been causing trouble. They wrestled me out of my seat and strangers sitting next to me complained loudly, but I was dragged away and kicked out. One of the guards whispered an apology and said that the first guy had told them that I was fighting and acting violently.

I demanded that they contact the head of security and he eventually arrived and decided that they were ejecting me for taking photos. I pointed out that signs at the venue clearly stated that still photography was allowed, but he said that digital cameras were verboten. I asked him why and he mumbled something about them being able to download faster. I was asking him what the eff that meant when they shoved me out the entrance to the venue. :)

Today is Willie Nelson's birthday. He's 83.

It's mine tomorrow, I'm not a celebrity but I've been told I'm pretty special as they keep sending a little yellow bus for me.
