Happy “Vegan Lunch” Monday, Gerbil Nation!
Good afternoon, Sven!
It’s been a busy morning, filled with meetings and phone calls. Mrs. Paddy drove up to Altadena yesterday with a group from her church to work on rebuilding houses destroyed in the Eaton fire. I’ll see her on Friday when they drive back down. I’m looking forward to hearing about the experience and what things look like up there.
Good luck to her and please let us know what she experiences. I’ve been watching Adam Carolla on his show go on about the fires and the lack of rebuilding.
The title refers to an inscription written by diminutive American actor Michael J. Pollard in Jim Capaldi’s notebook while they were both in Morocco. Capaldi and Pollard were planning to work on a movie that was never filmed. Capaldi said: Pollard and I would sit around writing lyrics all day, talking about Bob Dylan and The Band, thinking up ridiculous plots for the movie. Before I left Morocco, Pollard wrote in my book ‘The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys’. For me, it summed him up. He had this tremendous rebel attitude. He walked around in his cowboy boots, his leather jacket. At the time he was a heavy little dude. It seemed to sum up all the people of that generation who were just rebels. The ‘Low Spark’, for me, was the spirit, high-spirited. You know, standing on a street corner. The low rider. The ‘Low Spark’ meaning that strong undercurrent at the street level.
Thread pic: Well, “me” should have thought ahead.
Happy Monday, GN.

Young people/musicians of today could never do something as innovative and superb as this performance from 50 years ago.

Sitting around a table with some friends, listening to music like this. That’s the way to spend an evening.
