    No doubt, I got a ride in a "B" seater of a T-33 when I was 21 way back in the air force.....one of the most memorable moments of my life...

    Back seat of an F/A-18 here.... every roller coaster on the planet sucks after that ride.

    Saw this picture on Facebook this morning. The picture reminded me of one of my music adventures.

    tef216tb1hyu.png
    Atlanta's oldest Black music venue has been operating continuously since the 1930s.

    The Royal Peacock has hosted an astonishing string of legends: Aretha Franklin, Dizzy Gillespie, Bessie Smith, Louis Armstrong, B.B. King, and the Supremes, and homegrown Georgia stars like Ray Charles, Gladys Knight, Little Richard, and James Brown.

    __________________________________________

    Music Adventure
    In 1963, my first cousin and I took our dates on a Sunday afternoon from Buchanan GA 50+ miles to 186 ½ Auburn Avenue in Atlanta to see James Brown and the Flames. I was 17 or 18 years old.

    James Brown did his thing with a purple cape at the end of the show singing "Please, Please, Please". He would drop to his knees as if the show was over and he couldn't continue. One of the band members put a large purple cape on his shoulders to recharge him after singing and dancing. The crowd screamed for more. Multiple times he threw the cape off and continued. I purchased a James Brown LP that I sold on eBay in the 1990's.

    They had a pair of these sitting outside a hangar in Camarillo back in the day. One was milspec and the other was in commercial trim(TWA perhaps?) I got a chance to walk through both of them when they were being prepped to fly out for the last time around 2005.

    Amazing! Not one saggy pants or bra as a shirt on any of those folks.
    I bet Foxies had great food!

    I don't think you would still find that at the Royal Peacock Lounge today...
    Based on their current website, it appears to be a place for twerking now.

    They seem to be a reggae focused spot now, curiously owned by a company called THC Live Sound Stage LLC.
    (BTW, that's not legal in Georgia)

    That's pretty funny, I like both (even at my age) but my mom, bless her 81 year old heart, was riding in my truck one day and I was playing Green Grass and High Tides by the Outlaws, once the dual lead guitars started doing their thing, my mom said, with a very annoyed voice, "Okay, that's enough of THAT!!"

    Speaking of Valentines Day....

    My wife was thoughtful enough to gift me a bath bomb, but it suspiciously looks like a toaster.

    bless her heart....

    An "All American Five" (power transformerless) tube AM radio would work just as well, and you could have music while you simmer...

    I’ve seen that a couple times when people leave Galveston, except it jumps to the side of the trailer. The boats had the front clipped, but they didn’t strap the back. The boat dragged on side of the trailer down the freeway, the driver panics, hits the breaks, boat whips around and smashes into side of the truck, or the concrete highway barrier.

    I saw a boat a bit bigger than that in the grass medium ditch 15 years ago. The truck was a F350-size.

    The driver looked like he was going to hurl.

    These are bad days for these drivers for sure.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
