San Francisco the king of dying cities

By 2030 San Francisco, Detroit will seem to be Nirvana. The city is losing its soul. Democrat's vision for the perfect city. The only reason to go there is to get directions on how to get away from there. Remember , you go woke , you go broke! Every "Blue" city looks like this.

If you play this in the morning, you don't need coffee: 

I went to the doctor early morning at 08:00 hours:

Colonoscopy

After 4 days of strict diet food coming home, I also still needed to go to the bathroom more often.  Then I enjoyed 2 glasses of white wine, Gewürztraminer from Alsace, and having a good stereo, I turned on real loudness with "Without You" by The Doobie Brothers, 1973:

Or:

If you play this after a colonoscopy, you don't need a toilet. It was loud!

 Hey Baby, Baby, baby:

I get a feelin', lost without you baby
Livin' alone is drivin' me crazy
Don't you know
I got nowhere to go
You should be the one that's hurtin'
You got everything you need
Back in the days when love was so easy
I was fancy free and laughin' with no reason
Things have changed
Your touch has grown strange
I can't help myself
I know that you have left me dyin' here
Baby, baby
I can't live without you
Baby, baby
I can't live without you no more
Baby, baby
I can't live without you
I feel you know it, huh
Oh, baby, now I'm lost without my baby
Oh, baby, baby, babe, don't you hear right now

 

The baby part is the rocking best. "Baby, Baby-I can live without you"!

 

The doobie brothers played this song badass at balboa stadium in July 73’ It was loud!

 Cajun rock ‘n’ roll roll 4:02

 1975, Doobies on stage at dusk, awesome show at the State Fair Grounds in Syracuse, NY. They were sharing the bill with America, Beach Boys, Jefferson Starship, New Riders of the Purple Sage. 

3:14...STUNNING!!!! 

I remember cruising in my 1972 Comet GT in 1976 blasting this in the 8 Track......good time.

ROCKS your socks of .............unless you ain;t got any socks! 1973.. had it on 8trk..!

I saw the Doobie Brothers in concert on March 1974. It was a great show and they did a longer version of Without You. That was my favorite song that night.

I saw the Doobie Brothers yards away from the stage at the old Balboa Stadium in San Diego, in July 1973. It was a couple months after this album was released. They opened up for Chicago when Chicago had just released Chicago 6. They played almost every song on this album. What was badass about the Doobies. Was that after every song the sound would backfire to the back of the stadium. And the crowds would cheer loud! If anybody can find that concert in 73 at balboa stadium please share it.

saw the Doobies at the Garden in 1975....3 bands....The Outlaws, Poco, and the Doobies for $7.50 !!!

these guys are the best in good time rock 'n roll and guess what? " Baby, I can't live without you".

@Daniel Golus  yes, that checks out with my raw memory. I believe it was September. I graduated at 18 in 1972. Started at UW, ran out of money . Went back home to work until I could get back in at WSU. This is when I saw the Doobie Brothers. Straight from working, painting a house, to the venue. (Paint stained flannel was not unfashionable then). You are right, I was lucky, even a few weeks later, they"d have been too big to see the in anything less than a stadium. Mason Prophet, a blues grass band, started the show. First Doobie song of the night was "listen to the music."   

Savanah Ga summer 1975 heading to Orlando FL from Washington DC on the old 8 track tape this album. Spent the night there met this girl and we rocked to this album.

Summer of 74 live in Ames,IA. $3.50 a ticket. Guest star Billy Paine

The guitars move your ass along    

   

 

Thanks for making the world a better place

Everything I've done before the age of seventy is not worth bothering with

 HOKUSAI

I'm still pondering about something he said: ‘Until the age of 70, nothing I drew was worthy of notice. When I reach 80 years I hope to have made increasing progress, and at 90 to see further into the underlying principles of things, so that at 100 years I will have achieved a divine state in my art and at 110 every dot and every stroke will be as though alive.’ I love this mentality of continuously growing and learning, because it shows that age is not a limit when it comes to developing oneself; quite the contrary.

Ramones - Sheena Is A Punk Rocker

My wife just asked me who Sheena is and I said she's a punk rocker

I wish my remaining days could be transported back to those Happy Days!

RODIN 's

 story is an old fashioned "rags to riches" story. Born in poverty, he was pretty poor up until his forties. Rejected by the art establishment, he followed his own path. He managed to safe enough money to travel to Italy, where he fell under the spell of Michelangelo. It transformed him. And Rodin went from a lackluster career, to becoming a huge successful artist. It gave him untold wealth , fame and women , and allowed him to live the life, most artist could only dream of.

 

Rodin à 69 ans, restait un collectionneur de femmes incorrigible.
