This is a clip of Mick Taylor formerly of the Rolling Stones playing a live acoustic show in Laguna Beach, CA on Sept. 21, 1993 at the Discovery Gallery of Music. He performed on a borrowed guitar and amplifier in a front of an audience of maybe 40 people.
The full video which runs 40 minutes long was shot by my friend Sheldon and has never been shown to anyone outside of his house. I have the only copy available recorded straight to DVD from his old VHS tape that has sat on his shelve for past 15 years.
I gotta say it’s not Mick Taylor’s best work as a solo artist. However for Mick Taylor and Rolling Stones fans this is still a real treat to see him play at a small gallery in such an intimate setting.

Just sharing a couple of shots I took of the Rolling Stones from Houston, Texas at the Astrodome in 1981. I have a couple more I’ll dig up and add later. Although I was really close it was hard to get a good picture because it was so hot and humid in there my lens kept fogging up. Being one off the boards from the stage it was so packed I could barely move to wipe the lens so not many good pics came out.

So there I am cruising the net and I come across this video of Beyonce performing Proud Mary by Ike and Tina Turner. I love Ike and Tina’s music and as for Beyonce well, she’s just plain smoking hot so I decide to watch it for that reason alone. Yes she’s got a great voice too.But as I watched this video I started to get a good laugh. It’s for some kind of political mumbo jumbo being held at the Kennedy Center. Go ahead and laugh, I don’t know what it was for or who most of the liars (politicians) names are that were in attendance. There’s Baby Bush sitting with Tina Turner as Beyonce kow tows to her and at some point you see Kid Rock I’m sure begrudgingly sober (well maybe). Then I get to point that made me want to post this video at 2:42 in the video. The suit rocking out, don’t know his name but it’s hilarious. If you’ve ever seen the Jerk with Steve Martin in it think about the beginning of the movie. The part where he’s trying to clap along with his black family but has no rhythm, well that’s this guy. He’s just so stiff and out of place.
But take note I said I loved Ike and Tina Turner’s music. I started to look at this shortened “performance” and that’s all it really was a performance of Proud Mary and realize it’s not “rough” as the Diva said it would be. How can you do an old Ike and Tina song any justice without honestly getting raunchy with it. I mean you have to get down and lick the sweat dripping down Tina’s thighs to even come close to what she naturally was. And should a Ike and Tina tune even be played at this stuffy event? HELL NO!! Not this song at least. What was the event being held for? Someone please enlighten me.
Tina Turner is the female James Brown and even James Brown was 50% show and 50% soul. Tina, back it the day had soul dripping from every pore in her body and the Ikettes were not the fucking Supremes. Watch the performance below, this was considered a reserved Ike and Tina show. Still you can hear the soul dripping from Tina Turner’s voice.

Although last year scientists showed proof that hurricanes (same as a cyclone) were not a result of this global warming nonsense, although it’s been proven time and time again that global warming is a natural earth cycle. Al Gore still shoves his stupid ass agenda down our throats.
Al Gore, you are an idiot!!
Al Gore says that the cyclone in Myanmar is a result of global warming. He told NPR yesterday:
And as we’re talking today, Terry, the death count in Myanmar from the cyclone that hit there yesterday has been rising from 15,000 to way on up there to much higher numbers now being speculated. And last year a catastrophic storm from last fall hit Bangladesh. The year before, the strongest cyclone in more than 50 years hit China – and we’re seeing consequences that scientists have long predicted might be associated with continued global warming.
Gore said that because ocean temperatures are on the rise, extreme and dangerous weather is also on the rise.

SAN DIEGO (AP) – An undercover drug probe focused on San Diego State University and some of its fraternities has led to arrests of 96 people, including 75 students, authorities said Tuesday.
Eighteen of the students were arrested Tuesday when nine search warrants were executed at various locations including fraternities, said Jesse Rodriguez, San Diego County assistant district attorney.
During the probe investigators discovered that in some fraternities most members were aware of “organized drug dealing occurring from the fraternity houses by its members,” the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration said in a statement.
“Undercover agents purchased cocaine from fraternity members and confirmed that a hierarchy existed for the purpose of selling drugs for money,” the DEA said.
Authorities said they found drugs being moved in resale quantities.

“We’re talking about trafficking,” Stephen Weber, SDSU president, told a news conference.
The district attorney’s office said search warrants were served in San Diego and suburban La Mesa, including the Theta Chi fraternity house and several apartments.
A member of Theta Chi sent out a mass text message to his “faithful customers” stating that he and his “associates” would be unable to sell cocaine while they were in Las Vegas over one weekend, according to the DEA. The text promoted a cocaine “sale” and listed the reduced prices. (more…)
I want to thank this stupid broad for making Americans look bad.
I support what she’s saying but if you are going to bitch about people not speaking
the language, maybe you should first learn to spell when using the English language.
