Jukestock – Jane… please get in touch… it’s been a long time…!

I miss my boys and I miss you, too, Dana. And shout-out to anyone from Jukes Nation who happens to be reading this — especially Klaus and Maggie (that photo was taken on one of the most favorite days of my life, Klaus). I’m still in my desert exile trying to learn patience and Zen mind with a brain long-ago fried by rock ‘n roll and too much Jersey Shore sun. So far it ain’t takin’ effect … but maybe I’ve Been Workin’ Too Hard.

Aside to all you Jukes fans reading Dana’s great Hip Quotient blog on Facebook: do me a personal favor and “like it” or whatever they call those brownie points you folks dish out. She needs some incentive to keep up her encyclopedic work. Not enough people possess Dana’s amazing knowledge about the history of contemporary music and she should be encouraged to keep sharing it. I mean, seriously, who else could write about Ringo Starr, Woody Guthrie, Jesus Christ Superstar, Bobbie Gentry, and Southside Johnny all on one blog?

Oh, I love Rod. And I forgive him for his foray into disco. If only today’s youth could be aware of what a fabulous rock singer he used to be! Maybe the best, in fact. As for Stevie….well, that’s another story. I read some mediocre reviews of their shows from other cities. Most of them said that Stevie shouldn’t have been on that stage with Rod. I hope you had fun at the show. Can’t wait to see your pics!
