Kevin James is entitled to market his comedy short film by poking fun at the people who support and enforce a temporary quarantine. He has that right. I think he should choose to do better because foolish people might take him seriously. There is too much gaslighting all around (including from members of this forum) and it is becoming obnoxious. Just my 2 cents. B
He is a comedian, ease up. I have not seen anyone taking him seriously , and you shouldn't. Just have a laugh, if you don't find it funny ignore it.

Interesting how a satirical video can stir up so much animosity, I didn't post it because I like or dislike the people appearing in it. It was just a lighthearted poke at how some people have reacted to the situation.
Nobody alive today has been through a global quarantine, not even the 1919 Spanish Flu pandemic sparked a global quarantine. So we are all in uncharted water.
The fact is people are stressed out, we expect too much from political leaders, and they don't disappoint., they will never respond right, either too much or not enough and we seldom know which it is until the threat passes.
I reckon the nearest global threat like this was the Cuban Missile Crisis, when we all held our breath and thought global nuclear destruction was eminent. I was 12, still remember the fear, but it was over quickly. This thing just keeps on going . And then the ubiquitous conspiracies arise.
We can be cool headed about it here, voice our thoughts, hopes and fears, hopefully with respect and a giggle here and there.
May we all get through this with our sanity intact, Peace Out!

Started going to Griffith Park when I was pretty young first time, in 55 I think, living not o far away in La Cañada.
Living in the Canyon in 67, then moved to North Hollywood.
I was in a beginner in Blues band at the time, doing after hours shows around LA..
I saw Canned Heat play in the Griff (who didn't) The Seeds, Steppenwolf, we were too stoned to realize wait wouldn't last, or how special it was, Blue Cheer was another band that was making the rounds then. Saw them with Eric Burdon , with Sweetwater at a festival in Palm Springs, that was a blast.

First concert was a Love In at Griffith Park, I had a really good time, but I don't remember who played.
Weirdest was playing a 3 day concert in Manipur at the base of the Himalayas. Manipur had just been annexed by India at the time causing a lot of unrest in the area, so we always had an armed guard with us carrying an AK47. In the mountains around us there were armed resistance gorillas who had a good view of our stage. This took place during the Moon Festival which went on for days, but when we played we were the loudest thing for miles..
The first thing I nailed was "Gloria" or "The Last Time"..
When did you start going to Griffith Park?
When I was 16-18 I would hitchhike from Palm Springs, up to LA and go to " Love ins " at The Grieff, "
Crazy days! Hang out on the strip, Santa Monica, Laurel Canyon,

1st: King Crimson or Deep Purple in 1970. Not sure which was earliest.
weird: Quicksilver Messenger Service at London's Roundhouse. Why? We waited for the band while this theatrical thing with a strong gay theme went on. After a while I enquired about where the band was. It turned out they were cancelled and this was the replacement entertainment. We hadn't been notified and should never even have been allowed in with the QMS tickets?!
nailed: It may have been Rabbit Hills by Michael Chapman. 'Its Only Love' by Blodwyn Pig was the 1st and only only solo I ever learned when I was starting out at 16. I wanted to improvise even then.
I even got sacked from a band (after 2 weeks of rehearsing with them) for refusing to duplicate a solo as per record. So i was pretty committed to doing my own thing right from the earliest.
It`s Only Love by the Pig is one of my old favorites!

You can send them to me and I'll store them for you!
Seriously, if you don't absolutely need money, keep them. From personal experience, you will regret selling them long after the money is gone

A few years ago I visited a local pawn shop and spotted a Gibson LP as I entered, of course I bolted over to see it,
When I got close enough to see the details it was obviously not a real Gibson, it had cheap looking "vine of life " inlays on the fretboard, red flames over the black body.
It was priced at $600.00, with case, and the tag said original Gibson, I told the guy behind the counter it was a cheap Chinese knockoff, he smiled and said " I know that, you know that, but someone's going to go home with it thinking they bought a custom made Gibson LP "
Shameful

No way. A fake Gibson.
The fretboard looks very close to the one posted in the OP doesn't it?

I didn't know that. Heard the news he passed away this morning though.
One July 6, 1957, the Quarymen are playing a little dance behind a church, one of the members introduced his classmate Paul to the band, he chats with John, and shows him how to tune his guitar (John had it tuned to open G) Paul plays a few songs including a medley of Little Richard songs, and blown John away with his singing and knowledge of music.
Anyways, Little Richard was a early pioneer, from washing dishes to support his mother and siblings after his father died, to getting one chance to Play for a record producer,
As I understand it, he also gave James Brown, a high school janitor and chance singing with his band, hired Jimi until he was started upstaging the star.
A few days later the other members suggest inviting Paul to join, John agrees, so, maybe without Little Richard inspiring Paul, who then impressed John with his performance of Richards songs, there wouldn't have been The Beatles. Six separations and all that.
In October 1947, Sister Rosetta Tharpe overheard 14-year-old Penniman singing her songs before a performance at the Macon City Auditorium. She invited him to open her show.[19] After the show, Tharpe paid him, inspiring him to become a professional performer.[18][20] Penniman stated that he was inspired to play the piano after he heard Ike Turner's piano intro on "Rocket 88."[21The

The man who inspired Paul McCartney, and he fired Jimi Hendrix for being too flamboyant!
RIP Little Richard! God's Peace
