  1. Look into the Sky

    Staring at the sky through a mirror One of the entries on my blog post shortlist this week played the serendipity card. The lyrics in JJerome87's song Last Man Alive mention Snowy White, who was the focus of last week's article. It's a good song from an excellent album, but that wasn't enough to persuade me to feature the Alt-J frontman's latest solo release here. Instead, I've been looking into the debut album by Fire In Her Eyes. Sisters, songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Daniella […]

  6. An article from the SF Gate regarding the selling of 7940 La Honda Rd, La Honda, CA 94020 - Ken Kesey's former home. This was the last time the property has been available to buy. The couple who bought the property still reside there and over the years have restored it to it's former glory.

    Article dated 24th May 1997.

    Ken Kesey's legendary log cabin in La Honda, site of some of the most mind-bending parties of the 1960s, is on the verge of being sold.

    The prospective buyers are a nice, quiet Stanford University couple who want a place to write. The yellow two-bedroom cabin set in a grove of redwood trees served as home base for Kesey -- The Chief -- and his Merry Pranksters at the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.

    It was on this three-acre lot that Kesey, author of the novel "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," and his friends would climb aboard their famous day-glo school bus for freaky excursions to the Haight, Berkeley, and points way beyond.

    Along the way they held "acid tests" in public ballrooms, accompanied by the music of the Haight- based Grateful Dead, and free bowls of LSD-spiked punch.

    Reached by telephone at his farm in Pleasant Hill, Ore., last night, Kesey was in no mood for questions.

    "First of all, it is not a nice little cabin," he growled. "It is a big nice old house in the middle of a redwood forest." Then he turned the telephone over to his wife, Faye.

    Faye said they are selling the cabin partly to get some money after settling out of court with a San Mateo County sheriff's deputy who sued them. The deputy said he suffered severe neck injuries after falling off a bridge on Kesey's property four years ago as he was responding to a call.

    "We also thought it was time to sell it because we are so far away and it was starting to get run down. Ken feels a little sad about selling."

    On the other hand, she said they both feel good about the couple from Stanford who are buying it. The asking price was $239,000. The sale has not closed.

    "I think they want to do a little writing. There certainly is a lot of good aura there."

    She said Kesey put the finishing touches on his second novel, "Sometimes a Great Notion," at the cabin.

    The house became a focal point for the "backwoods mountain hippies" of the era, said neighbor Jim Warren of Kings Mountain. The cabin was featured in Tom Wolfe's book, "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" and other works chronicling the antics of Kesey and the Merry Pranksters.

    "I remember after Kesey got busted the first time, they put out a yellow and black roadside marker that read, 'No Left Turn Unstoned,"' laughed Warren. "It was really a great, funky place."

    Kesey bought the cabin in the late 1950s, when he was a creative writing student at Stanford University. He lived there until the early 1970s with Faye and two children.

    Since then, Kesey has rented the cabin to tenants, but over the past year it has been vacant. Because the cabin was never really locked, vandals have stolen several relics of the Merry Prankster era, Faye Kesey said. Pieces of artwork, collages, and other mementos are now missing from the shrine.

    "There are a lot of great memories at that house," Faye Kesey said. "We both feel confident that the new owners will take very good care of it and treat it with respect."

  12. El martes 16 de junio vimos a #jeTexas, un trío texano de instrumentistas soberbios, encabezados por el guitarrista y cantante Dylan Bishop, que hicieron volar nuestra imaginación mientras navegaban por las aguas del #blues, #country y la #psychedelia.

  13. "Eight Miles High" is a song by the American #rock band #theByrds, written by #GeneClark, #JimMcGuinn (later known as Roger McGuinn), and #DavidCrosby. It was first released as a #single on March 14, 1966. Musically influenced by #sitar player #RaviShankar and #jazz saxophonist #JohnColtrane, the song was influential in developing the musical styles of #psychedelia and #ragaRock. Accordingly.

  15. El sábado 13 de junio, y prolongándose hasta las primeras horas de la madrugada, tuvo lugar la que será tercera y última edición del minifestival #GaraGruta, en la histórica sala #Gruta77 de Carabanchel, Madrid.

    (La sala cerrará en diciembre de este año por retiro del dueño.)

    El plato fuerte de esta edición ha sido el combo murciano #LosMalinches, con un rollo garajero psicodélico con aires latinos, que a ratos recuerda a Santana.

    Muy, muy buenos.

  23. Y ya me pongo al día, arf, arf.

    Antes de ayer, domingo 31 de mayo, a las 17:00 Zulu, con un calor de varios pares de gónadas reproductivas masculinas, aproximadamente 20 valientes de ambos sexos nos dimos cita para ver al mascarón de proa del #HighEnergy #RockNRoll estatal: #LaSecta de Gorka Pastor.

    Últimamente se les ha incorporado a la guitarra Álvaro Segovia (previamente en #AtomRhumba), sustituyendo a Patxi (ver mi reseña del concierto del viernes 24 de enero de 2025).

    Conciertazo. Y ahí aparece de refilón el Gorila, que se subió al escenario, se tiró desde él y casi hay que desincrustarlo de la columna de en medio de la sala. 🤣
