The Friends Of Rock-n-Roll

Hello??? Um,yea, I'm gonna have to call you back.

About Me

Well you see one day we were in LA on buisness and we needed some gas money to get to our meeting over in Hermosa Beach when we see this almost well dressed guy hitch-hiking. Gas money!!! Who, as it turns out to be, is the one and only... legendary... Mr. Geri Blumenthal. The man behind the nature of our meeting. One thing lead to another and we now consider this meeting to be of a sort of spiritual slash rebirth. And this Great, Great man Mr. Geri to be our mentor. Which is now to be our metaphyiscal heritage.

Thoughts on John Lee Hooker.

Mr. John Lee Hooker is hands down one of my all time favorites. His degree of sincerity as a performer is rarely matched. Whenever I hear his voice and that scronkely, completely authen...

Par for the course.

So I was trying to ask Mr. Geri more about personal intent yesterday. He said not to bother him while he was on the phone. So I decided to pool my intellect to see if I could gather anything more ...

Hot off the Press!!!

"There's no clue anywhere on this Portland band's debut five-songer that they take much interest in today's musical styles. Every retrograde tune sounds like it was recorded pre-1975. The catchy, 60'...
