3 Steps
I LOVE YOU
when you realize that love radiates in all directions you can drop the Object…
I LOVE
then you realize that the I dissolves in love and the statement becomes:
LOVE
and according to the Beatles that is all you need…
Portland
Jon and I are sitting in a cafe with free Wi-Fi about a block from the venue, drinking Mexican Mochas with triple shots of Espresso. Zing!
Woke up and saw a garbage truck pass our bus. On the side was a sign that read: Satisfaction guaranteed or double your garbage back!
That seems like a fair deal…
Bend was fun yesterday, but we didn’t get to go into town as the Athletic Club is in a new develpment area. I was taken to a local radio station called Clear Radio – no affiliation with Clear Channel – for an interview and a little guitar-playing. Took some photos during the Drum Duet and will hopefully upload them later today or tomorrow.
Sierra Nevada Big Room
All proceeds from “An evening with Ottmar Liebert and Luna Negra” will go toward the new international “Water For Life” project, which – with your help and the efforts of Rotary International – will provide Third World Central American countries the means for securing potable water. 35,000 children die EACH WEEK from non-potable water. The Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. is proud to be working in conjunction with Danny Salas of Access Real Estate Lending and Paradise Rotary to present this special event.
The Show is Sold Out! I am proud to be part of this. It’s intermission right now and I have to tell you – damn we are playing really well tonight. For additional information, please visit h2o4life.org. More on Chicoer.com.
Fresno
I snapped a few photos while Kevin was setting up lights in Fresno last night. The colors and the blending reminded me of paintings by James Rosenquist. Click on Studios and select East Hampton, then click on the large painting at the bottom, called Horse Blinders. I spent many many hours in a room at the Ludwig Museum in Cologne staring at that painting when I was a teenager.
I uploaded photos large enough to serve as computer wallpaper. Just click on the above photo and then go to different sizes if you have a Flickr account. If you don’t have one, you should get one.
PS: found another photo of the painting HERE.
DRM Battle
Sony BMG DRM part of battle for control between Apple, labels
Here’s one reason why Sony BMG has made their new CD-based DRM relatively easy to crack: it’s not exactly pirates they’re after. According to Variety, the new copy protection scheme — which makes it difficult to rip CDs and listen to them with an iPod — is designed to put pressure on Apple to open the iPod to other music services, rather than making it dependent on the iTunes Music Store for downloads. Of course, while this would be good for the labels, since it would diminish Apple’s control over their business, it flies in the face of Apple’s razor-and-blades strategy for the iPod and iTunes. And given Apple’s 80% share of the digital audio player market, we somehow suspect that the labels aren’t going to do too much to faze Stevie J.
