David The Splatter:

↳ Song: "Leather Jacket Lovers" by "Sandy Beech"

I remember a smut model named "Sandy Beach", but I don't think she wore leather or could sing.   🎸 ♥ 10:25am
Jay Current: I'd assume camp became big among gay audiences due to the rampant homophobia throughout the 20th century. When your options for relatable material and representation are fringe and limited, you kind of have to find a way to like what little you have. If you can't get the media you love, love the media you're with, to borrow a turn of phrase from Stephen Stills. ♥ 10:25am

Mr Fab, I recently learned its the 100 th year for all numbered roadways not just 66. They formerly had names, but the Feds 100 yrs ago converted them into a numbahs nomenclature 🎸 ♥ 10:39am
ultradamno: But 2L-5N format of telephone numbers kept going into the 60s before going all numerical ♥ 10:39am
Mr Fab:

↳ Olleh @10:35

Wow, that's a fact, jack? Fascinating! I bet the other routes are pissed at 66 for grabbing all the attention. 🎸 ♥ 10:41am
Olleh:

↳ Mr Fab @10:39

It can be a lonely road being just another number. 🎸 ♥ 10:43am
David The Splatter:

↳ Mr Fab @10:39

There was a "Route 666" running from NM to UT until it was renamed in 2003. Featured in the movie NATURAL BORN KILLERS.

Mr Fab:

↳ David The Splatter @10:43

no way, I thought they made that up for the movie ♥ 10:47am
Mr Fab:

↳ Song: "Assault & Battery Part I" by "Hawkwind"

I like Hawkwind better than Motorhead there I said it! ♥ 10:48am
Asheville Jon: psycho-delicatessen music. sandwiches for whackos!!!
thanks Mr Fab!!! ♥ 10:48am
Roberto:

↳ David The Splatter @10:43

Stupid movie, but I love the opening sequence with Rodney Dangerfield. 🎸 ♥ 10:48am
David The Splatter:

↳ Mr Fab @10:45

The number is real, they made up the location of said route. (It does not run through Nevada.) ♥ 10:48am
Asheville Jon:

↳ Mr Fab @10:47

this is not something to be ashamed of. ♥ 10:49am
Mr Fab:

↳ Asheville Jon @10:48

Yo Jon, glad you're diggin the sand-witches! 🎸 ♥ 10:49am
David The Splatter:

It's one of the few movies my brother and I agreed on, and he's no longer on this Earth to pick a new one. ♥ 10:49am
Roberto:

↳ David The Splatter @10:49

Agree that it's good, bad, or neither? 🎸 ♥ 10:50am
David The Splatter:

↳ Mr Fab @10:47

It's OK to admit that. 🎸 ♥ 10:50am
ultradamno:

↳ Roberto @10:48

That movie was almost like a fight between Tarantino's original, probably pretty bad, script and Stone's really bad ideas of what to do with it. 🎸 ♥ 10:51am
David The Splatter:

↳ Roberto @10:49

Agree that it was OK.   10:51am
Andrew in Toronto:

Jay Current:

That seems to be the case for a fair amount of movies featuring Rodney Dangerfield. ♥ 10:53am
Mr Fab: nuthin against Motorhead, I like em just fine!

Anyone visiting LA, there's a statue of Lemmy at his old hang the Rainbow Bar n Grill on the Sunset Strip. Have a rum n coke with the Lemster.

Motörhead didn't have Moorcock writing for them.   🎸 ♥ 10:55am
Jay Current:

↳ Mr Fab @10:53

I can understand it as Hawkwind has more variety in their music, but there's also something to be said about Motorhead's utter commitment to hard rocking. Both are great groups. 🎸 ♥ 10:56am
ultradamno: Lemmy was a truck driver in Richard Stanley's movie Hardware 🎸 ♥ 10:57am
ultradamno:

↳ ultradamno @10:56

A better movie than his Island of Dr Moreau, maybe not so good as his Color Out Of Space ♥ 10:57am
Mr Fab:

↳ Jay Current @10:55

Sure, I totally get it. I had a friend who claimed "No Sleep To Hammersmith" as his no 1 fave album, who would wince in pain if I mentioned how I liked Hawkwind. ♥ 10:59am
Mr Fab: Aloooooha, my fabulous ohana, see ya next week! Drive safely! 🎸 ♥ 10:59am
ultradamno: There's this book called Rock & Roll Circus that had a whole chapter on Motörhead as this kind of cautionary tale (this was before they took off), I fell in love with them from that before I ever heard them and it kind of made punk normal before I encountered it. 🎸 ♥ 11:00am
ultradamno: ...because it was all, these poor bastards, they have to drive all over the place and carry their own gear...and I was like, I get this a lot more than The Who trashing hotel rooms ♥ 11:01am
