I am about to rock
Drove down to LA yesterday for another concert at the Bowl, celebrating the 40th anniversary of Sgt. Pepper’s with Cheap Trick and a bunch of special guests. This time, I had a reporter and a photographer from the Kitchener-Waterloo Record with me in the car. They’re doing a long feature on me and my California background/upbringing. For the road trip, my iPod was broken so I only put 6 CDs in my car which I talked about with the reporters. There was no classical music, since I refuse to listen to classical in the car because it distracts me from the road (and got me in a nasty accident when I was 17). Here they are in no particular order:
1. James Brown - Live at the Apollo Volume 2, Disc 2
2. David Bowie - Alladin Sane
3. Ella and Duke Ellington Live in Stockholm 1966
4. Brian Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain By Stragegy
5. Dr. Octagon - Dr. Octagonacologist
6. Devo - Q. Are we not men? A. We are Devo!
I don’t know what this list means — but there we are.
Before we left I took Colin, the reporter, out for a surf yesterday at Lindamar. He did really well. Meanwhile, the photographer was taking some action shots of me with a big lens which of course is every surfer’s fantasy!
An interesting week so far.
I meet with Cheap Trick in an hour — should be fun.
