Goodbye, my friend (one L, before Turow)

edit to add: a few minutes later, I found the nine-minute clip of Laverne (and Shirley — Cindy Williams to her Penny Marshall) on Happy Days, the nidus, and then, for strange reasons, thought of Joyce Johnson and Elise Cowen.

i started to think “The Beats’ just as an extra says “there are two women beating each other in there..

At my initiative, Jonah came down and busked at Lytton Plaza, on election day, November, 2012. I had met him previously when onelinedrawing played at Cubberley, in 1999, with Matt Nathanson and John Doe.

Have you ever thought of doing a Queen tribute a-to-z of an album, arranged for solo voice and acoustic guitar? There’s a good movie about that band that is making me listen to all their old stuff, plus ones that never hit me until now. I’ve been singing (my versions — arranged for tone deaf teens turned 54 — in parking garages. Actually, for the first time in my life I got 86d from a cafe for playing piano badly. Ok, I was not 86d but the guy said to stop.

Donnas stoker since way back when

Posted on December 14, 2018 by markweiss86

2003 on SNL

I’ve been a fan of The Donnas since before they were The Donnas . They were Raggedy Ann with a 7 inch EP recorded by Bart the recording guy Thurber,  and his roommate Eugene Robinson of oxbow said he wanted them to open for him in December 1994 but it took me until January to book them and because they were only 15 I got their moms or three out of four to sign permission slips. I was not a pimp. Or contributing to the delinquency of a minor —they accomplished that by themselves. (Or pretended to, to push product). 😉

There was the album called “The Donnas Turn 21”: I have jokingly suggested that we are ready for “The Donnas Turn 40”. But in seriousness they’ve had interesting lives so maybe recent material would be deeper. Patti Smith still rocks and she is turning 72 this month.

Three out of the four are back in school or eventually finished their undergraduate, and graduate work.

Rumor has it that The Donnas have been added to the Palo Alto cultural/historical map in that in addition to pointing out where Billy Kreutzmann of the Dead lived or Grace Slick we will know which elementary school The Donnas attended. This was discussed at the historic resources Board (HRB)special meeting at 567 Hale Thursday. (Ok, I brought it up during open forum, but a commissioner had mentioned a possible Palo Alto Rock History Tour ex parte).

And I found a clip of the four girls with Ray Liotta —women I mean —plugging that week’s appearance on Saturday Night  Live.  They also toured Japan three times.

Shaquille O’Neal interviews Norzin Lama on his social media, 90,000 likes

Posted on December 14, 2018 by markweiss86

FD0949AF-3EF4-40D1-BDFA-56E86639CA82.jpegNorzin has a Tibetan clothing and jewelry shop on University Avenue in Palo Alto, although it will close after Christmas, after nearly 25 years here. She seems optimistic about the future, the next chapter. Who knows, maybe she will be a star of social media.

She told me that she was warming her food -she cooks herself at home — with her back to the street, but then turned around quickly to see a tall famous looking black man, peering thru the glass at her wares. She ran outside and spoke to him:

“I know you…my daughter is a fan!”

It was Shaquille O’Neal the 7-foot tall NBA star and television commentator. She said she did not notice him filming their interaction; maybe his cell phone is hidden in his pocket and he has a remote way to turn the video camera on. Friends recognized her and sent her the link, which she later showed me, happening by, after my piano lesson at Hotel President.

Norzin had recognized Shaq but confused his name with that of Shaq’s broadcast teammate Charles Barkley. Prompted by Shaq’s  (female) friend, Norzin finally calls him by his name. She is charming and playful and adorable. He has 10 million plus followers on his social media account, and as of 4 p.m. today, 525,000 of those had seen the short film — vine? — and 90,000 hit “like”. The comments are generally supportive and not judgemental. Shaq says: she thought I was my main man CHARLES BARKLEY.

They should make a buddy movie together.
