Johnny Horton's birthday

Well I can't seem to get a video to embed on this blog. Not sure why.

But it's Johnny Horton's birthday.

And a local guy, back in 1959, was pissed at Johnny's Battle of New Orleans hit for historical inaccuracies. Doncha just hate historical inaccuracies in pop songs?

The Velvet Underground, some extra things

Notice in the Province of Sterling's passing.

1968 ad in the Vancouver Sun.

The Velvet Underground, Columbian 1968

An interview from the Columbian newspaper from 1968. Quotes attributed to John Cale and Lou Reed. And a follow up article on them by writer Simon Holwill.

Velvet Underground, Retinal Circus, 1968

An interview with the Velvet Underground from Poppin magazine, circa 1968. Must have been the June shows, and not the late October ones, as John Cale was still with the band.

oh crap, another blog

Mostly music, mostly local (Vancouver, BC) area. Gonna be sporadic. Just a place to stick things that don't fit in the other blog.
