Adam the Woo has passed on
Fuck, only 51, thought he was older. Died in his sleep yesterday. He put out so much content it was impossible to keep up, but I really enjoyed his travel videos, finding the roadside oddities and movie locations.
CSB: my wife is color guard director for our high school band, last spring break they went to Disneyworld. They were waiting outside for some ride or something when Adam walked by. I was more of a fan than she was, so she couldn't remember his name, so she just yelled "SHALL YOU?!" (iykyk). He turned around and she got a picture with him, seemed like a really cool guy. RIP.
FYI the Pink Floyd youtube channel is running a WYWH 50 weekend, playing stuff off the new box set, right now they're playing the early instrumental version of Shine On, great stuff
Knew this was coming but had hopes Raul could hold out a while longer. Fuck. Saw them back in their "heyday" at the Erwin Center with Mary Chapin Carpenter opening, fantastic show. Flaco joined them on stage, it was great.
About 10 years ago, they tried to start a music festival here in Taylor, the "Stomp n Holler" festival. They got the Mavericks to headline, it was incredible. My polka band played out in the gazebo earlier in the day, so I guess technically I can say I got to open up for the Mavericks.
Rest in peace sir.
45 - 2: Janis Joplin "Me & Bobby McGee" and Johnny Cash "A Boy Named Sue"
LP: Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison
Cassette: Billy Joel - The Stranger
CD: Roger Waters - Radio KAOS (actually the first one I ever bought was 10cc - Greatest Hits 1972-78, didn't even have a CD player, just knew I would some day so I carried it from apartment to apartment until I got one, when I bought the Roger Waters CD (and Def Leppard - Hysteria), I also got my first CD player, put it on my Sears credit card, only $300+)
download: no idea, but 99% sure it was some Beatles bootleg outtakes
Goodbye Willie Beans (don’t even ask, his real name was Charlie). I know you are running around again like the wild dog you were before we rescued you, chasing squirrels and making friends with everyone you ever met, just to get a scratch and a pet.
Endless sunny days laying in the grass and all the chew sticks you want.
