The Lemmy documentary is on Palladia tonight.

Left coast guys should be able to catch it from the beginning.

I shaved off my latest face hair:

I may bring it back, but I'm kinda thinking of the Lemmy Look. Also used by Lee Marvin in one of my favorite movies, Paint Your Wagon:

Whaddya think? I'm not willing to do the drugs that Lemmy did. Just the face hair.

I don't know where to begin. Lemmy is an icon. He started out as a roadie for Jimi Hendrix. He's the frontman and founding member of Motorhead. They're not my favorite band and I can't name more than a handful of their songs. But the man is just a symbol of longevity and hard living. He lives on Jack Daniels and Marlboros and is THE resident rock star of the Sunset Strip scene. He still lives around the corner from the Rainbow Bar & Grill, where he sits at the outside bar, smokes and drinks and plays video poker just about every minute he's not on tour. I have a friend who went there last summer and got to chat with him and Ron Jeremy together. I always visit the Rainbow when I'm in LA, hoping to see him, but no luck yet. He's one of those guy you don't want your kids to emulate, but whom you have to admire for doing it his way and with no apologies. Total hero.

Nice synopsis, Rick!

Don't forget Hawkwind, some good **** there

I love that he lives in a crappy $800 a month rent controlled apartment not because he can't afford a mansion but because it's walking distance to the Rainbow and he really does not need anything more than that.

Wonder what it's like being his neighbor.

You know you've led an unclean life when Ozzy Osbourne says this about you, "Jesus, now THAT GUY knows how to party"

I read an old quote of his once, something to the effect that, "We're the kind of band, who, if we moved into the house next to yours, your lawn would die."
