    10.) Binge watching old bands I love on YouTube, live concerts, etc.
    Particularly Cheap Trick, Redd Kross, the Divinyls, Rose Tattoo, Beasts Of Bourbon, Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Smack, Tex & The Horseheads, Little Kings, Viletones, Chris Isaak, 39 Steps, Bounty Hunters, Jacobites etc. And The Fleshtones - greatest live band I ever saw have lots of great stuff to watch on YouTube, Kings of Rock ‘n’ Roll!

    9.) Carry It Forward
    The most revolutionary, serve the people, activist organization I've ever seen in real life provides coats, hats, gloves, sleeping bags, tents, rides, hotel rooms, wheelchairs, etc to the real people in the community that the government does not care about. Millions of people in the USA USA are becoming homeless and evicted while the get rich politicians drink champagne with their warpig donors. Almost like they wanna kill the poor. BE LIKE CARRY IT FORWARD, wherever you are!

    8.) Slade is the right answer to almost any question!

    7.) Remembering how Real Friends are precious
    Especially in these dark clampdown death plague winters when so many groovy people like Dave Kusworth, Eddie Van Halen, Mike Mindless, Mike Doman, Clay Anthony have passed on.

  • Glitter Glue Dave Twist book front cover 300dpi 1282x1536There are a number of “memorabilia” books out there, but none, I repeat, none, are as intimate and lovely as "Glitter & Glue. Young, Loud and Ephemeral: Curating the Teenage Rampage" and no others cover the pivotal, crucial period 1972-79 so well. And there's only 450 of these, so get yer skates on.

    The author is Dave Twist. More on him soon. The publisher is Easy Action, also a record company, and you should have many of their releases. Their blurb is a great strarting point:

    "While chronicling his own fan-rampage – from the freak rock glamour of the early '70s through to punk…Glitter & Glue's collection also represents the journey that pretty much everyone involved in the early UK punk scene will have travelled, at least part of the way.  (It’s) the first book to cover this extended time-frame with the full range of ephemera available – with some dedication – to the provincial teenage fan."

    There are two forewords; and one quote from each should suffice to get your attention:

    "Looking through this book is like stepping into a time machine that speeds one back into a music obsessed teenage boy’s bedroom in the early 1970’s. Not any teenage boy, mind you. Dave Twist’s collection of Third Generation Rock and Roll’memorabilia is second to none."
