N.M.A. (No Matter Anyway)

A cynical look at what’s happening around you every day. It’s all up to you to make it happen and not to listen to the noise that’s coming from all around you in the various forms that is trying to influence your thoughts. You need to start and create your own reality that means something to you as everything else – What is really important to you?

Max's Kansas City - Willy "Mink Deville"

Max’s Kansas City – Willy “Mink Deville”

There where many mainstays at Max’s Kansas City back in the early mid to late 70’s. When I was either working as a production hand or just hanging out at Max’s, One of my favorite’s was  “Mink DeVille”. Just a cool sharp rock n roll band with an ethnic punky flair that combined Spanish, Cajun and zydeco influences that was all new to me. Willy Deville, the leader of the band brought in this style…

A Review Of Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers' L.A.M.F.

A Review Of Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers’ L.A.M.F.

Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers’ L.A.M.F. is the definition of an iconic album I have a confession to make; I am a little bit of a latecomer to Johnny Thunders. Sure, I’ve liked the New York Dolls for a long time, but their stuff didn’t resonate with me, right away.
