Alanis Morisette @ The Hollywood Bowl. The perfect Mother’s Day present for my wife Beth. Image
It seems almost silly to call an act whose first personal album sold 33 million copies worldwide. But she was such a meteor, such a symbol of the zeitgeist that many have unfairly reduced her to “remember the 90s” status. But with the 25th anniversary of Jagged Little Pill...
...with the Broadway musical, and really, with the pandemic, people got to remember how much they missed Alanis. I feel she’s finally getting her due, not just as a phenomenon but as a phenomenal talent.
18,000 people on their feet singing every word to Hand in Pocket/ Head Over Feet/ You Learn.

I’ve kind of never seen anything like it.

Me: I like to use Twitter to provide real time commentary on current events as their happening.

Also Me: I can’t believe more people aren’t following my super timely thread on “60’s Pop Bands appearing on 60’s Sitcoms.” 😩😩
I was today years old when I learned about:

The Buffalo Springfield on Mannix

Or that my beloved Paul Revere & the Raiders were on Batman.

How about I combine 2 of my favorite topics— 60s pop and 60s tv?

Here are some of my favorite TV appearances by 60s musical acts.

Beginning, of course, with Boyce & Hart on Bewitched.

Which naturally must be followed up by:

Boyce & Hart on I Dream of Jeannie

And both of those were predated by:

Chad & Jeremy on the Patty Duke Show

President Carter’s birthday yesterday reminded me that it’s never bad to salute some legends of my youth while they are blessedly still with us. I’m sure I’m forgetting many. But these four came to mind. 🙏🙏
A few more American Legends worthy of being honored.

Banning marijuana from the Olympics, but not alcohol, is just a tiny microcosm of the disproportionate drug sentencing along racial lines that have hit minority cultures for over a century.
In the early 20th century, pot was perceived by American lawmakers as a drug only used by Mexican immigrants. As such, the sentencing was always disproportionately harsher than that for “white person drugs” like pills or alcohol. No matter the physiological effects.
American drug sentencing has always been as much about “who” than “what.” It explains the wildly dissimilar sentencing guidelines for crack and powder cocaine. Powder was seen as party drug for rich white people. Crack is not seen that way. The sentencing fully reflects that.
