Am I the only one who notices that so many music industry-darling dudes have equal facial scruff and hair on their heads... you can turn these guys upside down and they look exactly the same.

Thank you Justin Timberlake for this obnoxious look... and boring, lazy excuse for the average looking guy to impress chicks and to flaunt his male aboriginal testosterone sexualilty.

Personally, as a guy who cannot even grow chest hair or sideburns at the very late age of 30's+, (ahem),  I challenge these dudes of male vanity... Let's only hope you keep your genital pubia as neat and trim as the sweet, lean forestry that surrounds this rockin' man's meat whistle...

I hope this little message either grosses out you readers, or titillates the imagination of the perverted the way those male monster-whisker wearing poseurs can only hope to tickle the fancy of the media manipulated mademoiselles and men's-men admirors that perpetuate this kind of trend.

Keep it neat n trimmed where it really counts.

Luv ya.

Rock fans head to Iowa to recall day music died

By MARCO SANTANA, Associated Press Writer Marco Santana, Associated Press Writer – Tue Jan 27, 4:20 pm ET

CLEAR LAKE, Iowa – It's been 50 years since a single-engine plane crashed into a snow-covered Iowa field, instantly killing three men whose names would become enshrined in the history of rock 'n' roll.

The passing decades haven't diminished fascination with that night on Feb. 2, 1959, when 22-year-old Buddy Holly, 28-year-old J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson and 17-year-old Ritchie Valens performed in Clear Lake and then boarded the plane for a planned 300-mile flight that lasted only minutes.

"It was really like the first rock 'n' roll landmark; the first death," said rock historian Jim Dawson, who has written several books about music of that era. "They say these things come in threes. Well, all three happened at the same time."

Starting Wednesday, thousands of people are expected to gather in the small northern Iowa town where the rock pioneers gave their last performance. They'll come to the Surf Ballroom for symposiums with the three musicians' relatives, sold-out concerts and a ceremony as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame designates the building as its ninth national landmark.

And they'll discuss why after so many years, so many people still care about what songwriter Don McLean so famously called "the day the music died."
"It was the locus point for that last performance by these great artists," said Terry Stewart, president and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. "It warrants being fixed in time."

Clear Lake is an unlikely spot for a rock 'n' roll pilgrimage — especially in winter. The resort town of about 8,000 borders its namesake lake, and on winter days the cold and wind make the community 100 miles north of Des Moines anything but a tourist destination.

The crash site is on private property, a five-mile drive from Clear Lake and half-mile walk off the road. Corn grows high in adjacent fields during the summer, but in winter the fields are covered with snow and a path to the small memorial is often thick with ice. The memorial features a small cross and thin metal guitar and records, all of which are draped in flowers during the summer.

"It's a much nicer trip in the summer," said Jeff Nicholas, a longtime Clear Lake resident who heads the Surf Ballroom's board of directors. "But in the winter, you get more of a feel of what it was like."

No one tracks the number of visitors, but fans stop by throughout the year and on some summer days visitors to the crash site can create the oddity of a corn field traffic jam.

Stewart said the deaths still resonate because they occurred at a time when rock 'n' roll was going through a transition, of sorts. The sound of Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis and Holly was making way for the British Invasion of the mid-1960s.
"The music was shifting and changing at that point," he said. "The crash put a punctuation point on the change."

All three musicians influenced rock and roll in their own way.

Holly's career was short, but his hiccup-vocal style, guitar play and songwriting talents had tremendous influence on later performers. The Beatles, who formed about the time of the crash, were among his early fans and fashioned their name after Holly's band, The Crickets. Holly's hit songs include "That'll Be The Day," "Peggy Sue" and "Maybe Baby."

Richardson, "The Big Bopper," is often credited with creating the first music video with his recorded performance of "Chantilly Lace" in 1958, decades before MTV.

And Valens was one of the first musicians to apply a Mexican influence to rock 'n' roll. He recorded his huge hit "La Bamba" only months before the accident.
The plane left the airport in nearby Mason City about 1 a.m., headed for Moorhead, Minn., with the musicians looking for a break from a tiring, cold bus trip through the Upper Midwest.

It wasn't until hours later that the demolished plane was found, crumpled against a wire fence. Investigators believe the pilot, who also died, became confused amid the dark, snowy conditions and rammed the plane into the ground.

The crash set off a wave of mourning among their passionate, mostly young fans across the country. Then 12 years later the crash was immortalized as "the day the music died" in McLean's 1971 song, "American Pie."

Vonnie Amosson, who manages the Veterans of Foreign Wars hall in Clear Lake, said that ever since the plane crash, the community has embraced the tragedy. It's a continued stream of tourism dollars, and the town's chamber of commerce estimates that this year's events, dubbed "50s in February," will generate more than $4 million for Clear Lake's economy.

"It's kind of sad that that is what we are known for," Amosson said. "But on the other part of it, I think the whole '50's in February' weekend is a huge memorial and it's an honor to them."

In part because of its role in rock history, the Surf Ballroom has retained its vintage look, with a 6,000-square-foot dance floor, ceiling painted to resemble a sky, and original cloud machines on either side of the room. Ten Buddy Holly banners line the wall opposite the stage. The 2,100-capacity ballroom still hosts many national and regional performers, most of whom add their names to a backstage wall that is now crowded with drawings and signatures.

"It's quite a special place," said Nicholas, the Surf board member. "This place looks just like it did in 1959."

Hollywood Nanny's 'Child Dumping' Scheme Unravels

Day to Day, January 8, 2009 · On the long list of possibilities that could go wrong with a nanny, excess library time is not usually at the top. So when two little boys in Los Angeles told their parents that they hated "the library," week after week, month after month, it didn't set off too many alarm bells.

As their seemingly perfect nanny's scheme has unraveled, however, it's become apparent that "library" was actually just a code word. According to Los Angeles' city attorney, Roxanna Patricia Villamarin was taking her clients' kids not to a world of books but to an unlicensed daycare provider in an apartment. She paid the stranger $10 a day. When Villamarin walks into court next week, she faces seven misdemeanor charges for what officials describe as a complex child-dumping scheme carried out over five years.

The evidence has been particularly hard to digest, parents say, because on the surface Villamarin was like a modern-day Mary Poppins.

"She was the most amazing nanny ever. Every parent was like, 'Oh, she's a godsend; they behave so well with her,'" says Gina Osher, who entrusted Villamarin with the care of her baby twins.

Villamarin's clients say they were taken by her emphasis on educational outings and her confidence. She was so certain about how kids should be raised, in fact, that some parents admit that she made them feel insecure about their own abilities.

"I was convinced that if she wanted to be the president of the United States, she could do that. She was that confident and entrepreneurial," say Kim Lewis, who employed Villamarin for five years.

These sorts of rave reviews turned Villamarin into a nanny-in-demand among a select group of Hollywood attorneys and creative types. If educational outings to the natural history museum and zoo weren't supercalifragilistic enough, for somewhere between $12 and $18 dollars an hour, Villamarin also threw in homemade organic baby food.

The Magic Fades

But one day, when their twins were supposedly off at the zoo, the Oshers got a tip from a second nanny that worked for them. Ms. Villamarin is dumping your kids off at a rundown apartment, the woman told them. Police by their sides, they found out it was true.

"It was very dark and very hot, and our daughter was placed on a bed on her back with a blanket thrown over her. Nobody was around her," Gina Osher says, her shoulders tensing as she recalls that day. "Our son was strapped into a bouncy chair sitting on a bed — which is really dangerous, because he could have bounced right off. He had no toys. … As soon as they saw us, they were so excited. They just lit up and were like, 'Get me out of here.'"

According to officials, Villamarin had been leaving at least five clients' children at this apartment over a period of five years.

"She would pick up the children; she would drop them off at an unlicensed daycare center. And she would pursue other goals," City Attorney Will Rivera says.

These other goals, he says, included working at a farmer's market and at her family's restaurant. At the end of the day, Villamarin allegedly would return to the apartment, pay a woman there $10 a day — about $110 less than she was making — and bring the children home.

Guilt And Betrayal

Upon learning what had happened, Gigi and Joe Hutchinson said they felt guilty and betrayed. "If you can't trust someone with your kids, what are you supposed to do?" Joe asks.

Even before their Mary Poppins fell from the sky, the Hutchinsons were cautious parents, careful to filter out bad influences – like talking creatures who flip burgers and wear square pants.

"I mean even Sponge Bob, I know the kids really like them, but that tends to be very adult-oriented. I just don't feel comfortable," Gigi says.

They can't help feeling that their nanny undid all this careful parenting. Their older son is autistic. Part of the reason that they hired Villamarin is because she said she understood how to cater to his special needs. Now, they have him in therapy trying to reverse all the potential developmental damage.

The part the couple says they hate thinking about most, though, is that their then 5-year-old son was trying to tell them what was going on. Because of his disability, he was struggling to get out complete sentences. But he kept hinting at strange happenings at "the library."

"He told me that somebody gave his brother a shower. Where at the library? What are you talking about?" Joe recalls.

Villamarin would explain it away. Stop making things up, she'd tell the boy. And so when they got a phone call telling them that their son had been left with a woman they'd never met, at an apartment in a supposedly bad neighborhood — that this was the place he'd been calling the library — they were filled with regret for not listening more carefully.

The Library

There isn't much to read at "the library." Located on a busy street in east Holllywood, the building is covered in graffiti, the windows crossed with bars.

Inside the apartment where Villamarin's clients children allegedly spent their afternoons, it's simple but tidy. A worn floral couch, a wall stacked with stuff animals and games.

Ana Zolaya, the woman that sometimes cared for the Hutchinsons, Oshers and at least three other families kids without their knowledge, frowns at the name "Roxanna Patricia Villamarin."

"I thought that they were her family members," she says in Spanish. "She saw a humble woman and took advantage of me … like she did the kids' parents."

Patricia did something bad, she says, but the kids were happy here.

'I Needed A Break'

Villamarin agrees with Zolaya on this one fact — the children's happiness. I caught her on her cell phone a few weeks ago.

"I don't bother them. I don't know why they bother me. The kids is okay," she says.

She admits that she sometimes left the kids with this other woman, without the parents' consent. But insists that it was only once a week for a few hours.

"They should not be so upset. They kids were safe," she says.

It doesn't seem to faze her that she's been charged with five counts of grand thefts and intimidating a witness.

"They treat me bad, I treat them bad," she says.

For each charge, each angry family, she lobs back a complaint she seems to think evens the score; not paying her enough, not covering her doctor bills, insisting on paying her under the table.

But when asked if she ever raised her concerns with the parents — asked for more money or better hours, she admits, "No, it's not my style to complain."

Ultimately though, she says her real motivation was that occasionally — between juggling all her clients' families and her own, she need a break. Why is it such a big deal, she asks, if the kids are okay?

But for parents like Gigi Hutchinson, who is working hard to reverse the possible scars to her autistic son's already delicate development — okay is relative.

"Basically we got conned and she didn't use money or ATM card or a false identity — she'd used our kids," Joe Hutchinson explains.

Whether or not the court agrees remains to be seen next week. The trial is scheduled for Friday.

HUTCH – "HOLLYLAKE & SILVERWOOD"

I was either living in ..:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Hollywood and/or recording at the Silverlake studio my brother and I shared at the time when most of these songs were written, and these recordings were made.

The Remo Music Studio is situated in a run-down Los Angeles barrio near Eagle Rock in Silverlake. If not for the battered, vintage neon sign that remains above the doorway of this old-time music storefront, the locals would seriously think the gringos that come n go at all hours were surely taking their lives in their own hands. But it seems that being a musician has the magick of making one a neutral character in the eyes of the outsider.

Regardless, shotgun blasts have been heard out front during sessions on saturday afternoons. Drug-dealing gangstas have been caught hiding out on the roof as police cars drove up the sidewalk and surrounded the building with sirens ablare... guns drawn... bullhorns a'cracking.

Then there is the heat... The summer temperatures in the studio reach well into the 100s because of the absence of air-conditioning there. Needless to say, it's brutal just being in there, let alone playing the drums or rehearsing the band for hours! We were certainly sweating it out for our art.

Despite all this, I have returned there faithfully and consistently to do my life's work, and have always dealt with all of these things rather humourously.

However, the one thing that I could not bring myself to accept or laugh about was the mutant cockroaches that inhabit that space. They are literally the size of mice, and often take flight haphazardously from walls and from behind guitar amps when least expected.

My original title for this CD was actually "ROCKCOACHES IN THE BARRIO"... A play on words relating to both the bugs and the cool rockin' vintage vehicles various band members and liggers-on have driven to rehearsals and the recording sessions at this site.

Ultimately, the rent was cheap and a band could make as much noise as they wanted at any hour of the day or night without a single complaint. And I certainly took advantage of this over the five or six years I created work there.

Let me share some thoughts now on the songs that make up this CD………………………………………………………………………..


1. BRINGING ME DOWN:
(No, it's not the Christina Aguilar/Linda Perry song, asshole.) This one was actually written around 1990-ish and originally had a heavy acoustic and slide guitar intro ala George Harrison's "Give Me Love", (but obviously a bit more depressing!)

As a four piece band, I had felt strongly enough about this song to begin playing it live, and ultimately began recording it after I had signed my deal with Smile Records in 2002. "Bringing Me Down" was supposed to be on the "Turn It Around" CD, but was scratched when the band line-up changed to a 3 piece, and the decision was made to re-record the CD at another location.

After my first songwriting break with SAMMY HAGAR, I unsuccessfully (however half-heartedly) tried getting a publisher to help place my songs.

My ultimate hope was to get this song to Steven Tyler & Joe Perry for Aerosmith to record. I'm sure you who are reading this would agree that their (or their label's) choice of songwriters/partners is/was lame.

Well, it makes me happy now to have the opportunity to release this song, thanks to Rankoutsider Records.


2. THE BEAST WITHIN (original version):
This recording was made right after HUTCH signed with Smile Records, during the same sessions as Bringing Me Down.

My original vision for HUTCH was to be a 4 piece band with 3 vocalists and 2 guitarists that could double on piano... Myself and my good friend Darrin Tehrani.

After beginning several basic tracks for what was to be the "Turn It Around" CD (recorded at the studio I shared with my brother Jimmy - The Remo Music Studio), my then drummer Eric Skodis resigned rather abruptly. I was terribly upset by this for many reasons, but kept it to myself. Those feelings helped to fuel the completion of "Turn It Around". I was determined to finish on-time and have it released, regardless. It was to be my first "real" record deal as the main writer for a band, and I was certainly not going to let anything blow it.

Luckily and seemingly by fate Drummer friend Thom Sullivan had become available and came aboard immediately. It was quite obvious we'd need to re-record the tracks, as the sound and energy of the new stripped down Power-Trio line-up was much more bombastic and alot more ROCK than pop.

I felt in many ways that I had met my ultimate soul-mate-drum-companion when I first played with Thom during my stint in SLOW MOTORCADE. (Check out "Sex, Drags & Rock n Roll" by Slo-Mo). We clicked in the way only brothers do, which is absolutely magickal... it's intuitive. And I can't wait 'til the two of us play together again someday.

3. ICE CREAM:
A warped-sounding ditty that evokes summery images of messy, melting ice cream cones in the hands of children in humid Anytown USA Elizabeth, New Jersey. I almost expect to hear the sound of the Cicadas buzzing away in the leafy trees above the lake in Warinanco Park.


4. WHEN I'M WITH YOU:
This song is one of my personal favorites. There are a few different edits of the song, some longer, some shorter. Although I feel this one is a bit long, I stuck with a formula arrangement of the parts, which to my ear only prolongs the pleasure!

The acoustic drum beat is strangely inventive when played against that electronic drum part. And there is just one guitar on here... my trusty ol' 1973 Gibson SJ Deluxe.

The guitar solo is one of my favorites, too. It's a plain steel G string tuned way, way down so it is nice and loose on the guitar. I played those notes way up high on the neck to give it a sitar-like buzziness.


5. MAYBE BABY (Buddy Holly Cover):
When "The Buddy Holly Story" movie with Gary Busey came out, I saw it at the Elmora Theatre on a hopeless, rainy night in Elizabeth, New Jersey. My other musician and Beatles-crazy friends Paul & Terry were probably present, too. This must've been 1979-ish?

That movie grabbed me in a fantastical way, and from that moment on, I felt a connection to Buddy's spirit and his songs that was like the feelings shared between father and son. I wanted to be "just like him", as I had previously explored lyrically in my song "Hipster," recorded with my brother while in The Hutchinsons together.

Anyway, on this particular day I had left work early and headed down to the studio feeling inspired to put my idea down for this Buddy Holly cover, which was to approach it as if I was Marc Bolan jamming with Noel Gallagher. Both of whom were inspirations to me.

Finally, I got home from the studio quite late past midnight with a complete recording, a final mix, and a genuine excitement that I hadn't felt in awhile. I could not wait to tell my wife Gigi what I just did and to play it for her!

So as I'm walking in the door, there she was on the couch in front of the TV... and I kid you not, as images of Buddy Holly were flashing across the screen... The person on the nightly news spoke of events of the day, most notably that it was the birthday of Buddy Holly...

I got chills like you would never believe.

Happy birthday, Buddy.


6. FLYING:
In my last days playing in The Hutchinsons I introduced the very talented Darrin Tehrani to Jimmy and Glenn with the hopes of expanding our line-up to include him. We actually played a couple shows together before disbanding.

Darrin and I were introduced by a mutual friend named Al Berry, and we became fast friends. He owned a recording studio out near L.A.X. where I would go to hang out with him and to do some recording. We'd often sit around playing new songs for each other to get feedback.

One particular night when I showed up, he was writing this great song that needed another part. So on the spot I shared what I heard in my head and what I was feeling emotionally, and the two parts simply were absolutely brilliant together. We felt just like Lennon & McCartney!

We quickly set up some mics and threw together the recording that you hear in just a few hours, then dubbed a cassette copy that I took home. Soon the master tapes were either lost or erased down at his studio, but fate allowed this one to get through thanks to that bygone format known as cassette tape.


7. MOVIE STAR:
Living in Hollywood you are constantly pummelled by movie star imagery, gossip, and the never ending noise of pedallers of these iconic 'brands', as they are now so corporately called.

As we struggle through our personal growth to become who we ultimately are, one eventually finds that it oftentimes hurts to be honest, and following a different path than those who evolve at a different pace can cause even the best relationships to end in sadness.

The portayals of the many heros and villains we see on the big screen are so charismatic. These people don't exist in the real world, or at least I have never met one of them.

Reality TV is disgustingly painful to watch as it brings bigger and bigger assholes into our homes 'round the clock, making these awful souls famous for the sole purpose of generating more and more viewership.

It is the nature and purpose of today's media to exploit people's weaknesses and to sensationalize the activities of those who make the sad front page news.

Rarely do the vulnerable get a break or remain free from embarrassment, sarcasm and scrutiny. Where is the pathos? The empathy? Where and when is it safe to make mistakes?

And I say as I step down from my horse in nameless obscurity, "Me, I ain't like some movie star... all my lines are MINE, be they what they are."


8. MAD ABOUT YOU (Original Demo)
When this song was coming through, I knew I wanted it to be the kind of song people would play at their wedding. It's really based on some actual events in my personal life, but that chorus and bridge are purely universal.

I'd love to hear Chrissie Hynde do a version of this. I've been in love with her voice and songs forever. She always had the best guitar players, too.

So what'ya say Chrissie? Give's a call... (323)806-1964

9. SCENARIO (Dramarama Cover):
"Hey... Are you from Joizey?... I'M from Joizey... Yeah, but are YOU from Joizey?!"

Fellow New Jersey-ites Dramarama came out to L.A. back in the days that I was still in The Zeros. We even guest appeared in their "Haven't Got A Clue" video along with a few celebrities and circus clowns... (I'd say the clowns were really us in our purple hair.

Well, I've wanted to give some props to Mr Easdale and Comp'ny for a long time, and so we covered 'Scenario' which I always liked better than their more popular hit "Anything, Anything." This was cut live and although an inferior recording, captures the energy that Thom, Glenn, and I could generate as a 3 piece.

10. ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD (Original Demo)
My buddy Darrin was getting into his car one day and got hit by a city bus... it threw him clear over the hood of his car... and the bus kept driving.

It's not exactly something to get excited about, but nonetheless his mishap inspired this song, which I had twistedly tried to express that his troubles were over once he got the mucho bucks from a lawsuit that was surely an easy win.

Well, things didn't turn out so great, and the money was not anything to write home about. But I got this song out of it, which caught the ear of legendary rocker Sammy Hagar when we performed it acoustically on The Food Network. That lead to a nice songwriting collaboration on his "Not 4 Sale" CD.

Meanwhile, I like the cool guitar-solo-break-down thing in the middle there, with me and Darrin playing some great rock n roll guitar together. And I really drilled him to get the piano part 'just right,' there as we entered before that breakdown. Hear it? Darrin has the magic touch!

11. IF I COULD TALK I'D TELL YOU (Lemonheads Cover)
Mr. Evan Dando... say what you will about him, but this melody is infectious.

This was recorded for a UK charity / tribute CD called "Squealing Fans In My Tune" in 2005 or 6, but I've remixed it with just guitar and voice for this CD because I like it better sparse.


12. LIVING WITH ME (original version)
I wrote and 4 tracked this in the dining room of our duplex on June Street in Hollywood, and fleshed the rest of it out at the "Room," (as we simply referred to the Remo Studio).

It's trashy. It's sloppy, It's all over the freakin' place! But something about it really sticks with me in a Replacements/Grandpaboy/Westerberg sorta way.

If you are familiar with this track from the "Turn It Around" CD, I hope you understand why I like this version better than the band version.


13. CROWN CHAKRA (Intro)
14. CROWN CHAKRA (Finale)
This is my brother Jimmy and I (post-Hutchinsons, around 1998 or 9) experimenting with his new sampler. We were both listening to alot of Portishead and Massive Attack at the time. That autoharp riff had a hypnotic quality that I loved and could not get enough of for awhile...:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
