book Secrets of Laurel Canyon ...
Never hear of them. I'm reading (from a friend) the "Red Rising Trilogy". I'm not exactly impressed yet.
It describes how all those bands of the 60’s somehow all lived up in Laurel Canyon that dropped down into LA. Big name bands. All before they became famous. How none of them had an ounce of musical talent. How most all of them were sons and daughters of Navel intelligence officers. The connections to the up and rising stars of Hollywood like Nicholson and Fonda. Even Charlie Manson. Cohencidentally, up in the canyon at one time prior there was a Naval film studio that made propaganda films. It changed the way I looked at music and the effect it had on my own life and the generation I grew up with. I rarely listen to music now, except that of which I play myself. Not to say I don’t enjoy harkening back to those days of good kick ass guitar riffs and the memories they bring up from time to time. Anyway, you might find Secrets of Laurel Canyon worth a read. Interestingly, the author of that book like Aaron Russo, suddenly came down with killer cancers shortly after their works came out.
Are you saying you were there? With also Jim Morrison?
Morrison was there. Definitely. All them sons a bitches were there. It’s mind blowing what this guy reveals. No, I wasn’t there. I’m about ten years behind them. Not connected except through how the music they were “given to perform” as claimed in the book had its effect on my generation and those before and aft. Just like that rotten nigger music they push today does. I’ve a love hate feeling about music now. Like I said, I rarely listen to it now. I play guitar daily, but only that of which I “write” myself. My feelings, my thoughts. Not theirs.
Did you read a book or were you there?
No, wasn’t there. Can’t speak to the validity of the writers claims, but if you look at it hard and thoughtfully, there is something going on there that isn’t quite right. It ties in well with Paul Harvey’s if I were the devil, the Protocols of Zion and all that conspiracy to bring America down.
