Current Mood

Madonna

 Dear Jessie | Madonna

🎶Pink elephants and lemonade, Dear Jessie hear the laughter running through the love parade🎶

Current Mood = benevolent and nothing says that like a good Madonna song. Madonna was at the peak of her powers (for many years actually) when she recorded Dear Jessie for her amazing album Like A Prayer (my personal fave album by her is Erotica) -

Go grab a lemonade and check out the pink elephant in the room, hey it's a love parade after all!!!

Can't Be Stopped

Hollywood's own "Can't Be Stopped" crew is one of the most influential and recognizable graffiti crews to emerge out of the U.S. is Since its inception in the early 1980's, the initials C.B.S. have been at the forefront of evolving graffiti art into a true, authentic art form. The kinship forged by father figure "Skate" creates a bond of brotherhood, a surrogate family protecting these artists from the temptations of the Hollywood streets, imprinting upon them an unrivaled standard of morality, respect and integrity in graffiti. Skate's tutelage becomes their lore and mantra, the driving force as these boys come of age, many from broken homes, into their ultimate success and prosperity. Unbeknownst to these young artists, they were shaping the medium and ultimately became pioneers. Their notoriety and acclaim was a transcending factor that evolved this contemporary art form, transcending the stigmas attached to this subculture.


Through interviews, the story of Hollywood's "Can't Be Stopped" crew is told. Father figure "Skate" mentors a group of boys, raising them from broken homes and forming a surrogate family. Under his tutelage, these boys come of age as he protects them from the Hollywood streets, mentoring them in standards of morality, respect and integrity in their art. The CBS crew grow in notoriety and acclaim, transcending this contemporary art form, breaking the stigma and stereotypes associated with graffiti.

Does Anyone Really Know The Way To San Jose?
Michael Shinafelt

Now that the mid terms are over and all isn't a total disaster it's time to move forward. Right now I am contemplating my next project. What that might be is something you'll find out when I'm ready. Guess what?! I'm not ready to spill, yet....

On this date Patti Smith released her amazing debut album Horses in 1975. Patti is one of my all time favorite artists.

I never thought I'd say this, but, Thank YOU Gen Z!!! 

You know those medieval torture racks? I bet there's a couple of seconds where it feels incredible

Highway to, hey look a squirrel!

Rise and shine sluts, it's time to sin

Speaking of Camp Lejeune raise your hand if you are excited for the Friday The 13th prequel series Camp Crystal Lake ✋

Funny how the democrats that lost in the in the mid terms aren't calling for Civil War

Hump Day & Chill

Judy Garland & Debbie Reynolds

Well after yesterday's mid-terms I indeed need to Hump Day & Chill with some old Hollywood glamour. 

Here we have two legends of the days of yore Judy Garland you know of The Wizard of Oz, A Star Is Born and Liza Minelli's Mom fame. Along with Debbie Reynolds of Singin' In The Rain, The Unsinkable Molly Brown and Carrie Fisher's Mom fame.

Both of these women were singular and unique talents who brought their own brand of magic to Movie Musicals and other fare. Oddly enough they both had equally famous and talented daughters.

Wonder what their conversation was about, oh to be a fly on that wall! 

So let's give these legendary women their due and Hump Day & Chill to how amazing they were...

Rich Man's Holiday

The Orion Experience

The Orion Experience is getting into the holiday spirit with the release of a new, original song that is sure to spread yuletide joy as “Rich Man’s Holiday” arrives today on all digital music platforms. Click here to listen and view the accompanying music video here.

 
The Orion Experience and their Elvish Presleys have been busy all year just shy of the North Pole crafting the perfect contemporary holiday song for 2022 and beyond. “Rich Man’s Holiday” is an irresistibly singable tune celebrating all that makes this festive season so special: love, comfort, and simple joys. What could be better than singing songs, drinking hot chocolate, darning popcorn strings and spending time around a wonky Christmas trees - in person? The essence of “Rich Man’s Holiday” is really, the simple pleasures or as Orion Simprini sings, “I don’t want the luxury car with the silly novelty bow, just tell me you love me, we’ll make some hot chocolate and go off and play in the snow.”
 
And after two seasons of social distancing, isn’t the very idea of just being together with friends and family, the most important thing this year? “Rich Man’s Holiday” is unequivocally just that.
