Definitely a number of essential songs on this list, but they missed a number of mind-bending classic psychedelic songs, just off the top of my head. Nonetheless, fun to think about.Av Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

Included: another old song snippet, very dark; thoughts on Gentlemanly Art of Spanking manuscript rejection; a snippet of lyrics from "Sweet Thing" on David Bowie's Diamond Dogs album.Av Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

I saw Love Lies Bleeding the other night. Really well done, but a little too noir for me.Av Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

Working on my next, as yet unnamed, album. I'm getting up to speed on all the new production techologies, thought I would start with a relatively simple song. I still don't have lyrics for the two verses. They will arrive in their own time, as they always do. So far I'm very happy with the mix, still tons and tons to do, but it's okay as a glorifie…

It's rockstar Saturday night. I'm hanging out with my cat Monkey Blue. He's asleep on the bed. I might join him soon. I thought I would play a song that will be on my next album, after I create an arrangement for it and record it properly. It's called "Baby Knows." Happy to see that my weekly newsletter from my website is working again. Please go t…

So when we last encountered ort narrator, he had, having fled the loving bosom of his newly-redecorated Oakland flat under threat of death from the thugs up the street, landed, at last, in Los Angeles and had begun to explore this alien culture while trying to sell HoneyBun Spanking Kits. HoneyBun was the logical outcome of the hugely successful ar…

Another example of why Apple, invariably, misses the without Steve Jobs there. In this case, the ad campaign for the iPhone 15 camera and it’s portraiture capabilities.

I knew Bernie back in the 70s and 80s. We drank in the same newspaper bar south of market in San Francisco. He was a legend. They don’t make them like Bernie anymore. Here’s a little little video about him and the TV show that was based on his real life story. https://youtu.be/wp8kBKAzUYQ?si=woNZ-rnCQjPEyo2V…

It was six Ty years ago today Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play, wait, no …. it was the day “I want to hold your hand” hit number one on the billboard chart in the United States. And Beatlemania took over the world.Av Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

I was so happy to see Jason Statham back in a big budget action movie. The beekeeper is right out of the John Wick mold, but with a better story, at least a better story than the third and fourth installments of the John Wick series. Jeremy Irons plays the inimitable, aristocratic monster as only he can. Great cinematography great editing, and clea…

A quick visit to Knickerbocker, and happy to discover that the frogs are back full force. I didn’t expect them because the pond is a little low still. There’s clearly enough for the frogs and their eggs and the pollywogs though.Av Knox Bronson ~ Riding The Wild Bubble

"1971—The Year That Music Changed Everything on Apple TV" is an amazing eight-part documentary series on Apple TV, chronicling the end, or the collapse, if you will, of the Sixties and the birth of the Seventies. Culture, politics, and the music of Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Sly Stone, The Rolliing Stones, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, John Lennon, Lo…

There is a movement afoot to remove Trump's star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It occurred to me that it could be used to fund much needed social services.
