This was the 3rd time I have seen my obsession band at the bowl....and in no way was I disappointed. The band was tight, the visuals (light and video cam) never distracting,the sound  clear and trance evoking, but what I loved the most was the energy each band member exuded. Thom Yorke was playful, soulful, and inspired. Ed O'Brien genuinely smiled pretty much throughout the entire set as if he knew this night was a blast. Johnny Greenwood's head bowed down in his bass while his shiny black hair did it's shimmy.  Phil Selway and Colin Greenwood adding their unique contributions that make Radiohead unlike any other musical collaboration. The crowd was packed with LA's coolest but oddly enough, everyone was not playing cool...Radiohead humbles and levels the playing field....The highlight of the night for me was "Talk Show Host" and the 2nd encore..At that point, I hit my bliss and the crowd seemed to also. The concert for me did what I love music to do..Bring us together.

In honor of Fathers Day, I decided to dedicate some blogosphere to my Dad.  Who in my opinion, is still one of the best photographers around.  Even though growing up, there was always a camera around, whereby Dad would capture my entire childhood and (oh God!) my awkward teens, I am forever grateful. I have a full pictorial history of my life that he shot behind the scenes. It was never posed, he never intruded, he just observed and had the uncanny talent to see and capture the right moment...Here are some of his more famous subjects from the Motown Era when he was chief photographer. And, one of us this past year.....He's still got it..Love Ya Dad!

Celebrity Vault has become my favorite place to visit when I need to see some jaw dropping beautiful fine art photography of Old Hollywood and Rock and Roll Royalty.  The gallery focuses on large size exclusive prints from an exclusive coterie of photographers..The space is large and the work hung well.  The staff very friendly and it's location is prime 90201...Close to all the shops and eateries...If you live here go, and if visiting, it's a lovely place to stop by while checking out Bev Hills..Please let the owners (Klaus and Cole) know I sent ya!!!

 

I have been a longtime member of the church of Radiohead, and for me their visit is akin to the Pope coming to visit devout Catholics. So, as I scour the website looking for dates here in LA, I feel the intense devotion for this band gain momentum, until I click on the icon for DATES only to reveal that the show is SOLD OUT..No can't be, but yes it is.  And even though I am not a devout Catholic..I will say a few novenas hopefully blessing me with tickets someway, somehow.....Radiohead will play in August at the Hollywood Bowl 24th and 25th....Any angels out there listening to my prayers?


 

 

Apparently, in a past life I WAS a cheap ass stripper (Damn the internet, everything is out there!!!!)......Does this mean I need to retract my last post??

OK Its late and here I go......This says it all why I have become disgusted with reality celebrity.  The caption reads "Actress Heidi Montag debuts her clothing line, Heidiwood"  First off, this is now what is qualified as acting!!!! "The Hills!!!!!" Reality shows are churning out ACTORS!!! I beg to differ.. I am sorry, but I am gonna rant and I would say this to their faces ...I have had enough.. Enough of crap on TV being passed off as entertainment..Enough of everyone and their mother hawking their cheap ass clothes that end up making everyone who wears them look like cheap ass hookers...I get it, this is a town where people come to live their dreams and that is all this girl is trying to do....But shes out there and I saw it and I am just saying........Tell me I am not alone in my dismay...please...

The photo says it all.....(sorta reminds me of the band Hole's album cover)
