Some good cuts, there! :up:

I'd heard the Bombshells before; they have a sort of cult following here in LA...

The Blendells are a sort of legend in the Chicano (Mexican-American) Los Angeles community; along with Thee Midnighters, they were sort of rock/soul/r&b pioneers from East LA; when I first came to LA, there were a couple of radio stations that sort of catered to the Chicano kids who were not into the mainstream Latino music and preferred a blend of US/UK rock, mainly oldies, and soul/R&B hits with a sprinkling of homegrown Chicano musical groups. One of the stations, KRLA, had a nightly dedication program where the kids (and some adults) would request songs to be dedicated to someone close to them; it would often go something like "This next song, Earth Angel, goes out to Chuy's best chica Rosario; por vida, Rosario...". Sometimes they would let the person calling in the request make their dedication on air, which often tended to sound a bit like Cheech Marin doing a routine. I used to listen to some of those programs, mainly for the music, but was also fascinated by the varied dedications...

A while back, there were posts about The Velvet Underground; part of the VU/Warhol scene was a young woman who was sort of the muse for the Factory's artists, Edie Sedgwick. Born into wealth, she preferred to hang out with the Greenwich Village Crowd and she was the embodiment of the description "silver spoon and a paper plate". She was very beautiful and modeled for fashion magazines and was featured in many of Warhol's films. She had a very traumatic childhood and suffered from deep psychological problems; she had a very tortured life of tragedies and died, from barbiturate poisoning in 1971, at age 28...

Thanks for the info:up:

I remember you posting earlier about Edie Sedgwick, and thats when I learned about what tragic life she lived. I think there was mental instability already in her family blood and the "swinging" 60's might not have been best time her to live her youth and early adulthood.

Well, there's things money can't buy.
