This blog, beaten, heavy, conflicted, controversial and ridiculed ("blogul cu morti"/ dead people's blog) never made any $ and I kept coming back to it just because it felt like a maligned child -was born when i was tricked to do it at Mediapro (see Old blog) and then Ndgu suggested I did my own _July 2008-such eons lifes ago....and then (and then ? ) yes, IT Lives, and Lives Again, it lived, noh...til any moment when it can be erased, disappear, etc.
This year it seems, I spent more time on it, it's like coming back home, an empty home, a poor home, a dear home, so many lost friends, so many heroes, so many great films and fun moments. None pushed me to write stuff I ddi not want to write, I promoted my activity, being that film festivals from TIFF to Cannes, got even accredited on Sitges with it (!!!), my years at the Cinemateca Patria, my short run of Bohemian Mondays (aldmovieLight), my Transilvania Blues Nights.
It's random and it has tags for things most important and loved, from Keef to Iggy to Alice (Coop), to His Bobness, Leonard Cohen Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Steve Vai and VH in Rockland.
On movieland it's BDP and Scottfree, QT and Jack (De Palma, Ridley and Tony Scott, Tarantino and Jack (Nicholson, not Daniels), giallo and Mickey Rourke. Und more.
It's trips and alinland, and SOTD (song of the day), and it's all been random into a design that fits or unfits. Why switched in English from original Romanian It's done good with imdb and anyhu, more than half of my life is in Ingles, so, why not ?
Lucero is Ben Nichols' band and the song is from 2005's Nobody's Darlings album. Based on photojournalist's Danny Lyon book The Bikeriders (1968). See the photos in the video below.
Kathy met a girlfriend at a place around Grant,
Swore if she got out alive she'd not go back again, Fellas didn't know her and they scared her half to death, Hand prints on her jeans, she would have just got up and left, That's when she saw Benny standing over by the bar, Sat back down, and waited 'til he came over to talk, Later on that night as she was walking out the door, Benny started up his bike, and the boys came out for more
Ooooh...
They picked her up and put her on the back of Benny's bike, Now Kathy's been with Benny Bauer ever since that night, She's tried to leave him many times, can't quite get away, Seen more jails and courts and laywers than she'd like to say, Benny's always been a fighter, that'll never change, Kathy takes him home and heals him up, it's all the same He made it from the club room all the way out to the street, They beat him with the barstools but he made it on his feet
Ooooh...
Kathy's runnin' to her boy, picks him up and takes him home, And Benny's crying "Kathy please, I'm sorry don't you know?" I'm sorry don't you know, I'm sorry don't you know? At a bar they call Stop Light the fellas drink their beer, Women with their hair done up, they make it very clear, Which one of the fellas is all theirs and can't be touched, They're tellin' me that motorcycle rider just give up, They're talkin' to the pretty ladies, everyone they can, I never seen the trouble caused all by just one dance, If Benny don't get himself shot tonight I wish he did, When he gets home
Ooooh...
Now Kathy's datin' Benny and he keeps her by his side, Kathy's still the cutest girl these boys will ever find, Riders line up BSA's out on the scrambler's tracks, Levis jeans and a leather jacket numbers on their backs, Benny's bike is too big to race up 250 class, They make him start way up the hill, up by the railroad tracks, Tomorrow they'll all ride across the Illinois state line, Motorcycle Blessing at the St. Christopher Shrine
Ooooh...
Kathy's walking out the door leavin' Benny all alone, And Benny's crying "Kathy please, baby don't you go" Baby don't you go, baby don't you go Kathy you mean it this time, just leave in the middle of the night, His wallet's on your table, boots on your floor, The car is parked right outside your back door, So leave him asleep in your bed and, You're halfway to Chicago before good-bye is said
The album is out on December, after the last full moon of this year.
Peter's been releasing a new song every full moon of 2023, a masterstroke of promotion & marketing which was never performed before. As for the cover, it's a work of art and it follows the thematic cover art of PG, one of the best and most consistent artworks of a modern artist who happens to work in the musical field.
HE CHANGED THE COURSE OF GUITAR WHAMMY BAR ROCK & RHYME... A GAME CHANGER... AND HIS MELODIC CRAZY WAS OVER THE TOP… WE’LL MISS YOU EDDIE...

“To me, he was like Tesla or Louis Pasteur or Ray Kurzweil. He might not have been working with circuits or engines or whatnot. He was working with musical notes and guitar strings and bridges and amplifiers.” – Kirk Hammett
