An Invitation of an Artist...............

I cannot believe the low number of views Dave Mason's music receives.  He is such a great talent.   There are a lot of people missing out on some exceptional music.  The music and the lyrics are incredible.  It sure takes me back to the great times of my youth.  Vivid memories of carefree times with the best friends I will ever have in my lifetime.  In a matter of seconds, the music takes you back 35 years.  I think music is the only thing that has the ability to do that.  It never ceases to amaze me. 

Sun rise blazed my eyes....

Bronze age easy rider

 America, in the midst of paranoia, bigotry and violence. Released in the year of the Woodstock concert, and made in a year of two tragic assassinations (Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King), the Vietnam War buildup and Nixon's election, the tone of this 'alternative' film is remarkably downbeat and bleak, reflecting the collapse of the idealistic 60s. Easy Rider, one of the first films of its kind, was a ritualistic experience and viewed (often repeatedly) by youthful audiences in the late 1960s as a reflection of their realistic hopes of liberation and fears of the Establishment.

The iconographic, 'buddy' film, actually minimal in terms of its artistic merit and plot, is both memorialized as an image of the popular and historical culture of the time and a story of a contemporary but apocalyptic journey by two self-righteous, drug-fueled, anti-hero (or outlaw) bikers eastward through the American Southwest. Their trip to, but also through areas where local residents are increasingly narrow-minded and hateful of their long-haired freedom and use of drugs. The film's title refers to their rootlessness and ride to make "easy" money; it is also slang for a pimp who makes his livelihood off the earnings of a prostitute. However, the film's original title was The Loners.

     The names of the two main characters, Wyatt and Billy, suggest the two memorable Western outlaws Wyatt Earp and Billy the Kid - or 'Wild Bill' Hickcock. Rather than traveling westward on horses as the frontiersmen did, the two modern-day cowboys travel eastward from Los Angeles - the end of the traditional frontier - on decorated Harley-Davidson choppers on an epic journey into the unknown for the 'American dream'.

According to slogans on promotional posters, they were on a search:

A man went looking for America and couldn't find it anywhere.

Their costumes combine traditional patriotic symbols with emblems of loneliness, criminality and alienation - the American flag, cowboy decorations, long-hair, and drugs.

Scared of Highway Riding

Blue_FairySeptember 12, 2006

I am scared of Highway riding, and still, daily street riding in Traffic. I have taken the MSF Rider Safety Course, and have only 212 miles on my new 800cc motorcycle.

I got on the highway last night at 3:30 A.M., and stayed to the right for awhile as I felt scared and then promptly exited. I couldn't get the bike to go faster than 50 MPH because of the fear I felt when the vibration and the wind took hold of me ...this at 50 mph, only, lol. I learned to lean into the wind, which helps, but the vibration and the whine of the bike and wind....everything seems so crazy fast and unstable kindof.....at 50mph, only....am I nuts? I have a death grip on the handle bars and am fearful of blowing away!

We Go Way Too Fast

A few motorcyclists just read that heading and thought something like "Fuck yeah, we go too fast! We're daredevils, bro. You suckers can keep your cages, we're free." (Yes, some bikers refer to cars as "cages," because literally everything has its embarrassing elitist jerks.) But I'm not talking about the reckless velocity of dudes without enough brain cells to comprehend mortality. I meant exactly what I said: "We all go way too fast."

American Pharaoh

In 1889 the lease on the house was taken on by Arthur Gustave Ravoux who transformed the business into an inn popular with the artistic community in Auvers. During Van Gogh’s stay, the rooms were all occupied by Dutch and American painters. The Cuban artist Nicolás Martínez de Valdivielso, who lived nearby, took his meals at the auberge with Van Gogh.^[4]

Van Gogh arrived in Auvers-sur-Oise on 20 May 1890. He had spent a year in a convalescent home in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and wanted to settle in the North, closer to Paris. Camille Pissarro, a friend of Van Gogh's, suggested that he go to Auvers-sur-Oise where Dr Gachet lived

Bob Baffert..Most of the serious horsemen on the scene remained silent and/or awestruck, consistent with a conclusion reached 100 years ago by Arthur Conan Doyle: "Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius."

Though American Pharoah will attempt to become racing's first Triple Crown winner since 1978 in Saturday's Belmont Stakes, signs of his superiority were apparent long before he won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. To have seen him on that misty morning in Florida was to imagine many memorable afternoons at the racetrack.

"When we first saw him, everybody saw what an efficient mover he was, just no wasted effort," trainer Dale Romans said. "I thought at the time he stood out more than any 2-year-old I'd ever seen. Everybody knew we were watching a great horse."
