Wednesday night we played the Whisky A GoGo for the first time. I remember reading about it in a book about the Doors when I was just some young kid from Kansas. I always hoped I'd get the chance to play there. Now I have.
I wish the Whisky could have managed to stay so cool through the ages, but sadly it has not. I had all but gotten over my urge to play there when this show came up. Still, my notes have now bounced off the same walls as Hendrix and Jim's. Each Beatle even, although only separate. Historically I got a bang out of the fact, presently I wish they would concentrate on making music mean something again, instead of on making money off musicians and their High School friends from the valley.
