The fucking day had been a goddamn emotional minefield, and by the time I descended those familiar concrete steps into The Sanctuary, my bones felt like they'd been through a meat grinder.
Well, the stories always stand on their own, but the music brings them into my life. February 9, 1964--I think that was the first time the Beatles were on tv and my father took me over to my grandmother's to watch it (we didn't have a tv.) Music is everything to me, especially Sixties and Seventies, blues, and Stevie Ray in the Eighties. I think I've seen the Stones at least 10 times. We marched behind the Grateful Dead at the antiwar march in the city in April 1967. And I was at Altamont, Rolling Stone got it wrong. Considering they were based in the city at the time, it was a BIG mistake. They had no idea why what went down happened, but if you grew up on Telegraph Avenue, it was no mystery.
Another sterling soundtrack (Nights in White Satin.)
You like them ? I’ve got 900 songs to use in the line of stories , does it help them ?
