The Top of My Head. A somewhat regular blog describing my travels with rock bands and anything else I may rant about at any given time. Tuesday, April 14, 2009. Punk Rock Stories - My Days at Vinyl Fetish. Of course, these days, I have little tolerance for that kind of record store employee and refuse to shop at any store I get that attitude from. More irony, I guess.). But not every in-store was like those. Steve Strange, of Visage, did an in-store one day. I was dreading it, but he turned out t...One d...

The Top of My Head. A somewhat regular blog describing my travels with rock bands and anything else I may rant about at any given time. Monday, April 18, 2011. Welcome To Las Vegas, Baby! The main reason we left LA was for financial reasons. When Skip and I bought our house in Sherman Oaks, we both had jobs and had been reinsured that those jobs would be long lasting. Literally, within a few weeks after escrow closed, Skip was terminated from his job, followed a few weeks later by me. Links to this post.

The Top of My Head. A somewhat regular blog describing my travels with rock bands and anything else I may rant about at any given time. Sunday, March 14, 2010. 2009 Music, Movies and an Update. So, let me just point out a few musicians and bands that I heard this year that I think are worth your while to check out as well. Then there were the old punk bands (and a couple of disco bands) that got back together and were still just as great as they used to be. Those included the Vaselines, Teenage Jesus...

But, Oh, that rhythm section! So once again I found myself glad to be where I was. I enjoyed the show tremendously and if I put the two parts together, I can convince myself that I’ve sort of seen Creedence Clearwater Revival play live now. Michael L. Compton. Links to this post.

Trip Number Two – A Return to Las Vegas. We woke up late the next day and took our time getting ready. By the time we left our room, it was well past noon. We walked next door to Caesar’s Palace (http:/ www.caesarspalace.com/casinos/caesars-palace/hotel-casino/property-home.shtml? Source=OGY0000028558) Forum Shops and watched the statues come to l...

I figured that most of you are probably expecting me to rant on about the latest chapter in. But I’ll leave this subject with a few links to some heroes:.

Were puzzled and bemused. But elsewhere, I was met with suspicion and anger. I remember taking my sister to a Black Sabbath concert at the Long Beach Arena for her birthday and having one stoned, young hippie walking up to me and asking loudly, “What’s a redneck like you doing at a show like this? During all this, one...

As soon as everything settles, I'll let you all know. I hope that I can get back to doing this blog again on a regular basis, but that will still have to wait a while, as we're going to be scrambling to keep from finding ourselves homeless, but you'll hear from me soon enough. Love you all,. Michael L. Compton.
