Finally, Paul Gets Some Recognition!!

[joe]

who said it was an interview?

[Kenda]

Glad to hear Paul is getting the recognition he should have had
long ago.

I remember him when he played drums for the Hideaways, and
then the Oxford Circle.

Very cool.

Tear gas, pot and patchouli were the scents of the 1960s. You can almost detect the last two, spicy and pungent, wafting through “Summer of Love: Art of the Psychedelic Era” at the Whitney Museum of American Art.

But tear gas, with its weird-sweet burn, is missing in a show that remembers a lot, but forgets much more, about what was happening 40 years ago, when America was losing its mind to save, some would say, its soul.

The so-called Summer of Love was a local event with national repercussions. Word spread that a “Human Be-In” would convene at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco in January 1967. Young people from across the country poured into the city, and by the summer they had filled the hippie neighborhood of Haight-Ashbury and were crashing in parks and streets.

The party went off as planned, and you can revisit it at the Whitney in Jerry Abrams’s “Be-In, 1967,” a funny, hopped-up film with a jamming soundtrack by Blue Cheer. The news media were all over the photogenic counterculture, with its jangly music, exotic drugs and outlandish mores. This was the Flower Power instant, and it was over in a flash. But for many people it is what the ’60s were all about. The Whitney show, which is great fun and half-baked history, will not persuade them otherwise.

With all due respect, what does this have to do with Paul?

Here's what the stupid "h" post before this one meant (now deleted). I disabled the links in my post. Who or what ever posted that really wants you to check out the website, and destroy your computer in the process.

[isis]

thanx for disabling the links gypsyball!

[gypsyball]

But at least I now know what them gibberish posts that apear from time to time means now .

[Common Sense]

WELL DUH!! WHY WOULD ANYONE CLICK ON A LINK THEY`RE NOT SURE OF?? THOSE ONES THAT POP UP FROM TIME TO TIME? I NEVER CLICK ON THEM, AND ANYONE WITH COMMON SENSE SHOULDN`T EITHER....THAT GOES FOR ANY LINK THAT COMES FROM SOMEONE WHO YOU`RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH!!!!!!

[FeedbackLourde]

I just saw & deleted the "H" post that was just here. Anytime we get a bs post like this I delete it straight away. It's amazing how often this spammer/hacker will come to this site (and who knows where else) and manually repond to a post just to put this shit there. It's not like a spam blast or anything but a lot more tedious. How's that for a loser job?

I guess someone who doesn't have a life.

oh golly, I forgot. Paul is in Blue Cheer He is part of what made all that happen. Silly me sometimes

[festooneddipshit]

But what does he do when Blue Cheer aren`t touring? Is he back playing in the Randy Holden version of Blue Cheer again?

at least you named yourself well ...

Paul is Blue Cheer. Anybody who knows anything about this band knows who he is and what he contributes to the musical world. It's really cool that the rest of the world is beginning to find out.

there is no 'randy holden' version of the Cheer

now go away and pull your hair over your face some more - you look good that way

I couldn't agree with you more on that one.
