I could never get sick of the Doors either. Was just listening to soft parade on Monday.
My father did mention a party with a Cream record playing over and over. Lol

While I would like to lay claim to some 1960s deep cut, my brainworm is

Milli Vanilli, "Blame It On the Rain".

I'll spare you the precise details aside from I had just broken up with a VW Girl who was supposedly the love of my life. My late brother and I were up in a gogo joint up in Canada. Gogo is a wildly under- rated Canadian art form. "Blame It On the Rain" was still high on the charts. I was staring at an incredible Canadian stripper but not like you might think. I was tryin' to catch a glimpse of her soul.

Yeah, I was in rough shape.


I still think Rob and Fab got a raw deal. They were pioneers. Everyone lip syncs these days. The Super bowl halftime show? It's all lip sync.

If it wasn't lip sync it would be digitally pitch corrected. Next big thing is AI.

If AI can create a riff based rock 'n' roll song to rival "Mississippi Queen", I'm in.

Haha. I have a fun story about Dave Alvin of The Blasters and Dave Allen of Gang of Four.

Milli Vanilli never actually wrote or sang the songs on their hit album. So they lipped sync someone else’s talent.

My first Guest Mechanic gig was for a trucker in South Kearney, New Jersey. We could throw rocks at the South Kearney Wastewater Treatment Facility from his lot. Hint: That isn't water you're smelling although Newark Bay smells like bass- turds.

The wastewater treatment plant is the opposite of food processing. The food has already been thoroughly processed. They add strawberry / cherry scent to the mix.

You can't fool me!

Moral of the story is the last step in "food processing" doesn't just smell like poo.



Now that you're hungry...

We took a drive up to Oxnard while we were visiting Los Angeles. The land flattens out. There is a big- ass truck farm north of L.A.. I guess that's how they feed all those people from L.A. down to San Diego.

They grow tomatoes and fist sized West Coast raspberries under remay. Red peppers and kapusta grow out in the open. There were 100 acres... what are those? Can't be tomatoes, tomatoes grow under the remay.

100 acres of peppers. They had just harvested 100 acres of red peppers. Anything not ready for prime time got tilled under. They must have buried 20 tons of ripe peppers.

10 acres of kapusta were headed back to the barn in a farm truck.

We gotta have a VW get- together and picnic north of L.A. the second weekend of September every year. I'll bring my smoker. We'll forage all night and eat all day. We'll serve our fusion cuisine epiphany, stuffed cabbage with salsa. Kinda like a rave version of tamales...
