    I had a very nice dream about him last night, most of which was x-rated, except the part afterwards when we watched all the wonderful living creatures wandering in the garden.

  2. Hi "eternal light!" How are you doing? I miss our conversations. I just heard "I Think I Love You" by THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY. I love that song. I'm still in love with Shirley Jones and Susan Dey. So your neighbors are having a party? It sounds like a party that I would like to be at. How come you're not over there? Have a great evening and ROCK ON "eternal light!"

    I'm falling asleep listening to a hawk calling outside.

  3. EL, Thanks for the laugh, but why only one put together like this man!!These pictures are great. In fact they are so great I need to take a break and go learn how to breathe normal again!!

    How stuff works...just random I guess.

  4. I received a call today from someone who was either doing a survey or trying to sell something, and after I asked the person who was calling, she asked to speak with either my mother or father. When I told her that they weren't home, she said that she would call again later.

    I thought that was hilarious.

  5. ^I guess that one was a whole body smile :-)

    There are no words to describe the physical beauty of this man!! Off to dreamland:-)

    Ah, he's just another good-looking guy. You've seen one, you've seen 'em all lol.

  6. Hello EL! well this gives something to try to go to sleep with:-)

    Hello Deborah, and his hair looks slightly damp; that combined with gosh it looks like he forgot to zip his jeans back up. Maybe it was just the laid-back atmosphere or it was hot that night or day.

    Or the music was in the key of D; that combined with all the ooh-yeahs could explain the way the atmosphere changed as MSG mentioned. Perhaps it was the orange album cover for the Houses of the Holy disc that stimulated the sacral chakra.

    The interior of the Hyatt was decorated in a color scheme of oranges and yellows in 1973, which could explain a lot.

  7. I scanned this pic from an italian 1992 mag, I think the pic is from '73, judging by the hair and teeth. smile.gif

    Btw, I see my sig at the right upper corner of the pic suddenly and conveniently disappeared. wink.gif

    Invasion of the sig-snatchers?

  8. I don't know where or when that photo was taken but I never remember Robert's teeth being as bad as they look in that pic so I'm wondering if it's due to the lighting or the angle. I do remember that his teeth weren't exactly straight and one tooth on the side was slightly out and over one of his front teeth but my friends and I thought that was so cute, so endearing (you can see a bit of it in the photo below - although given the rest of the pic, who would notice the teeth?). To be honest, during the Zep years, none of us really scrutinized his teeth! Or Jimmy's teeth. When they walked into a room, everything else about them, including the sexy vibe and aura they projected, completely eclipsed the cosmetic. One of my old friends and I were talking about the time the Zep guys walked into a venue in our home city and the entire atmosphere in the room changed. I don't even have the words to explain what that felt like but I've never forgotten the feeling.

    A heat wave is expected into next week with record highs possible; temperatures expected to be 10 to 20 degrees above average; and an elevated fire danger with hot and dry conditions until next weekend when a cooling trend will take place.

  10. With Guitar Aficionado,

    we've created a magazine that intersects all areas of your lifestyle, with the guitar as the common point. After all, the man who appreciates the sleek lines and sex appeal of a fine guitar looks for the same attributes in a luxury automobile. Similarly, the nuances of tone emanating from the living wood of a guitar are like the subtle notes of a fine wine, and the refined sensibilities required to recognize them are the same.

    And think of how often you've seen the guitar used in tandem with fashion, spirits, travel, and watches. Clearly, the time has come for a magazine that combines these shared passions and curates them in a way that speaks to you.

    Guitar Aficionado is ultimately about interesting people who exhibit the requisite attributes for success: great passion and uncompromising drive. Those traits describe many of the guitar aficionados we profile-from Tom Colicchio, who demands purity in his ingredients, to Robert Foley, whose quest to grow the finest grapes has resulted in his excellent Napa wines.

    As the greatest vintage guitars become rarer, love for the guitar-and for what it represents--continues to transcend generations.

    A Guitar Magazine Tests the Luxury Waters

    By STEPHANIE CLIFFORD

    Published: May 24, 2009

    One might assume that the new magazine Guitar Aficionado is a spinoff of the 17-year-old Cigar Aficionado. Both have covers with celebrities holding the featured prop (the chef Tom Colicchio with a 1963 guitar, Jay-Z with a stogie of a presumably more recent vintage). They both carry stories about alcohol, watches and men's fashion, and ads for cigars and speakers. Also, both titles include the word "aficionado."

    But while Cigar Aficionado comes from M. Shanken, which also publishes Wine Spectator, Guitar Aficionado is from a more rocking family of magazines. It sprang from Guitar World, part of the magazine company Future US; that magazine, in its June issue, includes the music and lyrics for AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" and Cannibal Corpse's "A Cauldron of Hate."

    Greg Di Benedetto, the publisher of both guitar magazines, said Guitar Aficionado was aimed not at young hard-rock fans, but buyers of $6,000 guitars who would also buy expensive liquor, cars and watches.

    Along with coverage of guitars, it includes stories on Aston Martin automobiles and the West Hollywood hotel Sunset Marquis (both are advertisers in the issue, which Mr. Di Benedetto said he did not see as a problem; it was "product placement," he said.)

    But the advertising picture for luxury magazines is bad. For instance, ad pages at American Express Publishing's high-end magazine Departures fell 43 percent in the first quarter of the year, according to Publishers Information Bureau. And some magazines largely dependent on luxury ads have ceased operations recently, including Condé Nast Portfolio, Private Air and Trader Monthly.

    Mr. Di Benedetto said that Guitar Aficionado's schedule as a quarterly would help with ads. "It's a completely different picture. Trader Monthly or Portfolio are victims of the times because it's not really fashionable to tout the Wall Street trappings of success."

    Mr. Di Benedetto said the title's similarity to Cigar Aficionado was not intentional.

    "There was just no other way to describe it perfectly," he said. "It's got nothing to do with overlapping with any other magazine."

    "You can be an aficionado of many things, and the fact that it rhymes, I can't help that," he said.
