PRE-COVID Flashback: Foo Fighters, Taylor Hawkins

PRE-COVID Flashback: Foo Fighters, Taylor Hawkins

Ahh, memories.....I remember the days when we could all just wander around at will, walk into a guitar store, even if you're a drummer, jump on the kit and blow a few of the cobwebs out of it....well, that's exactly what happened at Norman's Rare Guitars, one sunny pre-Covid LA day. BTW, I heard that Taylor Hawkins is also a pretty cool guitar player...!!!

Magic Trip

In 1964, Ken Kesey, the famed author of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” set off on a legendary cross-country road trip to the New York World’s Fair. He was joined by “The Merry Band of Pranksters,” including Neal Cassady, the American icon immortalized in Kerouac’s “On the Road.” Kesey and the Pranksters intended to make a documentary about their trip, but the film was never finished and the footage has remained virtually unseen. With MAGIC TRIP, Oscar®-winning director Alex Gibney and Alison Ellwood were given unprecedented access to this raw footage to create a documentary of this extraordinary piece of American history. Documentary, R, director: Alex Gibney, Allison Elwood, Starring: Ken Kesey, Neal Cassidy
