Laurel Canyon

If you have not returned back to work and have viewed everything on NETFLIX and AMAZON PRIME and are completely over the hourly chaos on MSNBC and CNN,  I suggest you check out epix two-part documentary LAUREL CANYON.

If you are a child of the 50s, 60s, of 70s you will easily recall the music and the musicians who took over the Los Angeles hillside area known as Laurel Canyon. The houses where they lived were constantly referred to as "cheap" and their environment as "paradise".

Frank Zappa's Cabin

I have started this blog several times and deleted it. I decided I have been too wordy because I really want people to watch this. When you hear the first few cords of a song or see Jim Morrison's face, you are pulled back to that moment of time. You will be hooked.

The second and final episode aired a few days ago just as all hell was breaking loose across America - in real time.  That episode dealt with the social issues of  the 1960s and 1970s and how the music evolved. Just as my generation was horrified by the Kent State massacre, the world has been horrified by police misconduct across America.  Neil Young's music galvanized a generation.  History repeating itself can be really scary or can inspire change. Watch Laurel Canyon.
