Non devisive music thread.

In 2011, celebrating the 50th anniversary of their first record, the group's survivors got together for some appearances. The guy on the right is Dave Marks, who was a member in the 60's while Al Jardin was taking a swipe at dental school, and then quit because he couldn't stand Murry's management style.

Beautiful song, and captures an iconic image of California in the 60's.
 

This guy used to play at the Santa Monica pier when my grandfather was running the gambling rooms at the Venice pier.
My grandfather worked for John Harrah, and was a professional gambler.
Its a tragic story, and one of the reasons Spade was kinda lost to history.

So what did Spade have on Ronnie that was worth a pardon for a wife-killer?
 
Music industry in th 60's --

Brian: I need $50,000 studio budget so I can be as good as Phil Spector.
MI: We'll give you $500 and we need something as good as Barbara Ann.
 
If you went to a Beatles live concert in the 60's, you couldn't really hear the band because everyone was screaming.
If you went to a Beach Boys live concert in the 60's, you couldn't really hear the band because everyone was singing along.
 
Brian said the Four Freshmen vocal harmonics style as a big influence on is music. FF supposedly refused to perform any BB music, until a new group bought the name.

I dont think anything but the fact that they were once friends.
I could be wrong.
Obama and Clinton both pardoned some shady characters. Any thoughts on those?
Spade spent 9 years in prison, and died as soon as he got out.
A tortured soul, who murdered his wife, and met his maker with the hand he played.

He was a very talented guy, and a flawed man. Very tragic.

"They were once friends" is about the worst reason I have ever heard for a pardon.
 
Yes I will post the exploding head scene again.....

Please make it Stop.....
