Love. Been listening to Rabbi Manis Friedman on love. Much to learn! The man makes a lot of good sense.
Ramsey Lewis Trio And I Love Her Recorded Live at The Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach. Lived there for a while, fwiw.
Pretty famous venue from what I understand. I lived up the hill in a house with ten feet between it and its next door neighbor. Had two families living in it. Autumns and Springs. Strange, but true.
The Pogues are brilliant, and that is my favorite song of theirs. I remember well being told about Kirsty's death some years ago. I was really saddened, she was very talented. Believe it or not, she was killed in some kind of boating accident while trying to save her kids in the water. An interesting bit of trivia about the song: the writer Shane MacGowan, who is Kirsty's counterpart in the video, was born on Christmas Day. According to lore, he made a bet with the Pogues's producer, Elvis Costello, that he could write a hit song with a Christmas theme. [Cait O'Riordan, Elvis's first wife, was a Pogues member]. Guess what happened? Now it is the most frequently played Christmas song in the UK It deserves a lyric post... It was Christmas Eve babe In the drunk tank An old man said to me, won't see another one And then he sang a song The Rare Old Mountain Dew I turned my face away And dreamed about you Got on a lucky one Came in eighteen to one I've got a feeling This year's for me and you So happy Christmas I love you baby I can see a better time When all our dreams come true They've got cars big as bars They've got rivers of gold But the wind goes right through you It's no place for the old When you first took my hand On a cold Christmas Eve You promised me Broadway was waiting for me You were handsome You were pretty Queen of New York City When the band finished playing They howled out for more Sinatra was swinging, All the drunks they were singing We kissed on a corner Then danced through the night The boys of the NYPD choir Were singing "Galway Bay" And the bells were ringing out For Christmas day You're a bum You're a punk You're an old slut on junk Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed You scumbag, you maggot You cheap lousy faggot Happy Christmas your arse I pray God it's our last The boys of the NYPD choir Still singing "Galway Bay" And the bells were ringing out For Christmas day I could have been someone Well so could anyone You took my dreams from me When I first found you I kept them with me babe I put them with my own Can't make it all alone I've built my dreams around you The boys of the NYPD choir Still singing "Galway Bay" And the bells are ringing out For Christmas day
Thank you TR, don't recall seeing the place. Shame on me. Only lived in Hermosa Beach for a few months, what can I say?
