Obama goes old school and picks Jim Messina for his admin.

Loggins & Messina



Set your phasers to "mellow rock" .... Capt Barack is calling the tunes.

Work hard all day and mellow out @ night with some bud, wine, and tunes

Change I can believe in.

1. Can I substitute beer for the wine?

[Botany]

3. The key word is mellow

Yes you can.

[ContinentalOp]

2. Yeah, but he's going way back...

4. That was my first thought when I heard it on the teevee.

Winnie the Poo, and all that.

There was a time in my life when I was constantly bothered for autographs because people were convinced I was Kenny Loggins.

Then, decades later, it was Willie Nelson. So I cut my hair and that crap stopped.

6. Coulda been worse.

Coulda been Roky Erickson.

9. Only you....

Only you would know about Roky (and spell his name correctly).

If I would've been wearing a Band-Aid to cover my third eye.

Roky is a friend of mine (has been for over 40 years). He is living in a trailer behind a fuck-movie arcade and store on Hwy 71, just East of Austin. His parole requires him to live some minimum distance from other residences (he was convicted and sent away for stealing people's mail. He didn't do anything with it - just shoved it into a culvert or something).

Roky released a "unit" (that's what he called it) a few years ago. He told me that he had hundreds of songs, and could only pick a dozen or so to record.

I asked him how he decided which ones to pick to record.

"I picked the easy ones, man."

Years after Stacy's (the jug player) wife killed him, the Elevator played a reunion gig in this huge warehouse under an overpass on Hwy 59 in Houston, late '70s.

They came out of the woodwork, Buddy (you know how it works, and I initially used your real name).

I was way into heroin and mixing it up with coke.

My new bride was with me, as was my Crazy Sister.

The Show of Shows.

Slip Inside, Baby Blue.

We all walked (weaved and staggered) away from the place that night, knowing it was the End of an Era.

The warehouse burned to the ground in the tiny hours of the morning.

Nothing like that happens, anymore.

10. Poor Roky.

Went about 100 mics too far.

Did you ever see the comedic "X Files" where the main protagonist of the week, a real weird guy, was named "Roky Erickson". Homage, bubba. True homage.

5. Kenny Loggins as Sasquatch.

Damn.

[KT2000]

7. Thought of him too!

Who knew he went into politics!
