Sex Pistols - God Save The Queen

Forgot to post this yesterday. I guess the future arrived anyway, although JR was right in general about its form.

Charlie Parker - April in Paris

Bird with strings. Needed to squeeze this one in before April came to an end.

Ann-Margret - Bye Bye Birdie (Title song)

Ann-Margret turns seventy today. The sequence shown here was used in an episode of Mad Men, and is a beautiful example of early sixties film-making. Not to mention a beautiful example of why Ann-Margret was so popular.

Nature and All That Stuff

Thunderhead at sunset, a little blurry.

X-Ray Spex - Oh Bondage! Up Yours!

Otis Spann (with the Muddy Waters Band) - Cold Feeling Blues

Barbara Lynn - You'll Lose A Good Thing

Huey P. Meaux died yesterday at the age of eighty-two. He was a leading behind-the-scenes figure in Texas music in the second half of the twentieth century, although his reputation was deeply damaged by revelations that came out when he was about seventy of sex with underage females. He served nearly ten years in prison. But like O.J. Simpson's football career, the later crimes overshadow but don't erase the earlier achievements. Among many others, he produced Barbara Lynn's classic seen here.
