Magical History Tour 4

After Jim Morrison’s section of pictures in Linda McCartney’s book, we move to the Who, photographed at a hotel in New York, and the Filmore East. Linda states they were one of her favorite bands, but had not taken off in America. They were touring in support of the Herman and the Hermits, which had been having number one hits in America since 1965.

This reminds me of the Jimi Hendrix opening for the Monkees tour, or Led Zeppelin opening for Grand Funk Railroad, it only made sense to promoters balancing who the people really came to see against the real talents. Talent is a matter of opinion, but history really sorts out the best.

Linda said the first time she met Pete Townsend was at the Americana Hotel in New York, where she had gone to take pictures of Herman and the Hermits. She was with Danny Fields, who was a Who fan also, and they spotted Pete “skulking” in the corner, who was bewildered why the Who were not more popular in a America. She took pictures of Pete, but the lighting was so bad she could not use them.

There is a picture below that text that is not labeled, but it shows someone who looks exactly like Mick Jagger wearing round black sunglasses, and it’s not clear who it is. I did not see the Pete Townsend nose under the shades, kind of a mystery.

McCartney says the first time she photographed the Who live was in 1967 at “Murray the K’s Fifth Dimension” shows at the RKO Theatre in in New York. You may remember Murray as the DJ that championed the Beatles when they first came to America and called himself the “Fifth Beatle,” though Stu Sutcliffe really should have that title.

The shows were a real watershed in American rock history, five concerts a day for 9 days, featuring Cream, the Who (this really was the making of those bands in America), and many others, Wilson Pickett, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, the Blues Magoos, and others, according to McCartney.

There is a really cool picture of Pete backstage at the show sitting under a Marx Brothers poster, and he’s playing a sunburst Stratocaster, and it really shows in stark black and white the famous Townsend look.

Next are photographs of the Who playing the Filmore East in 1968, and there is a wonderful closeup of the band standing behind the Filmore after the sound check. Roger Daltry is laughing and looking away, Pete is looking down, somber as usual, Entwhistle has his arms folded, the typical Anglo Saxon medieval knight-yeoman with a bowl haircut look, and Moon on the far right has a happy smile, leaning into the photo.

Next are five shots of the band by McCartnery doing a sound check at the Filmore, but it sure looks like Pete is smashing a guitar, maybe he did that at sound checks also! All five are circular images because of the spotlight, and are dim and fuzzy, and you can see Moon’s double bass drum, the drum on the left only says “THE.”

The next couple of pages feature shots of Keith Moon, one has him in a room at the Drake Hotel wearing a Snoopy sweatshirt, and holding a book that says “Tales of Horror,” probably a Poe edition. The next shot is a portrait of Moon wearing a nice jacket and lace cravet, sitting with his ankle on his knee in a chair, and wearing a reflective look on his face. This was one of two shots Brian Epstein bought from McCartney on her first trip to England, the other being the one of Brian Jones on the boat during the Stones press party.

The Filmore East opened with a bang on March 8th with a concert featuring Big Brother, Albert King, and Tim Buckley. Though Buckley never really got the recognition he deserved, and had a very uneven career, finally dying of a heroin overdose, the Washington D.C. native was highly respected by no less than Robert Plant, and many others. There are a couple of great Tim Buckley shots at this link:

The Who played the Filmore East a month after it opened, smashing guitars and drums during a blistering set. Linda McCartney says that the Who’s biographer heard the unreleased tapes and stated that “The Who- Live at Filmore East” would have proven to the world that the Who was the greatest live group in the world.” Maybe in the top five, when you consider the Beatles in Hamburg, Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, etc., but up there nonetheless.

The next shots are five images of Keith Moon behind his Premier drums, making great facial expressions, in closeup shots. McCartney says she got to know Moon and Townsend the best, and that Pete was very deep and intelligent, and Moon a lot of fun, and always a complete gentleman, despite his wild-man antics.

She said once Moon turned up at their house with "two brand new boiler suits, a red one for Paul, and a white one for me." Linda related that she and Paul were with Moon the night he died, he was partying at the annual Buddy Holly evening tribute show, and was excited about an idea of Paul’s, the Rockestra orchestra.

There are several shots James Fortune took of Paul McCartney with Keith Moon and Linda, they can be seen at

Linda McCartney, The Doors, The Rolling Stones

Magical History Tour Vol 3
(for signed prints of many of the stars mentioned here, go to www.fortunesicons.com


In this part I’m moving to Linda McCartney’s coffee table book of photographs she took from 1966 to 1969, called “Sixties: Portrait of an Era.” On the cover is a headshot of a smiling Jimi Hendrix in black and white, as are most of the pictures in the volume. The book was published in 1992 by Bullfinch Press, and is divided into three sections: East Coast, West Coast, and England. Most of the photos are black and white, as Linda was very new to the business, and black and white was easier to shoot in low light to get candid shots. The Doors, The Who, The Yardbirds, and many others are featured.

Linda got her start in the industry because she was working in New York City at Town and Country, who had put the Rolling Stones on their cover issue. Two of the Stones were in the famous cover, shot by well-known photographer, David Bailey, and they were pictured with an innocent model. Keith Richards had a leather jacket and Brian Jones was smoking a cigarette, and apparently this impressed the Stones enough to give the magazine an invitation.

So Linda “liberated” the invitation the magazine received for their press conference on a boat in the Hudson River. When she got there, there were throngs of press members, but she got onboard, she was the only photographer there. Linda thought it was combination of two things, the Town and Country cover, and being the only young and blonde photographer (gee, that’s a hard choice for the Stones). She said the Stones were very flirtatious, especially Mick Jagger. Apparently, the band cursed extensively, according to one of the journalists onboard, Lillian Roxon, especially Brian Jones.

One of the best shots was of Brian Jones lying back in the cabin, yawning, with his legs apart, wearing striped pants and a polka dot shirt. Brian Epstein loved this one, and bought it from Linda, which led to her fateful meeting with the Beatles later in England.

Others show Brian, Keith and Mick together, and Linda said Jagger was highly aware of the camera, but Bill Wyman couldn’t be bothered. After the boat docked, she was besieged for the photographs, and later, Allan Klein tried repeatedly to buy the negatives, wishing he had hired a photographer instead.

These photos led to much more work, and soon Linda was working as a freelancer. Not long after this, she went to a small club called Ondine to photograph The Doors, with lead singer, Jim Morrison. They had never played outside of Los Angeles, and Elektra Records had just signed them. Linda was taken by him, especially the poetry of his lyrics, and how got completely into the music, cupping his hand behind his ear to hear better. These shots were taken not long after James Fortune filmed them at Sunset Sound recording their first album.

The pictures show a tiny club, that’d be a great place to see a band like The Doors in their early stage. Linda said Paul Newman came down to see them for a film project, but nothing came of it. After a couple of pictures of the band, she then presents a series of images of just Morrison’s face while singing. After this, they became friends, and Morrison would visit her and meet for various photography sessions, and discuss visual images, as Morrison had just graduated from film school.

Morrison was enjoying the increasing popularity of the band, but was uncomfortable with some aspects of the frenzy. A childhood friend spotted him on the street in Greenwich Village, and went crazy over him. A photograph of him bare-chested had really made the beefcake circuit, and Jim hated being a sex object, unlike many other rock stars.

The Eagles and the True Location of the Hotel California album cover picture

(If you like photographs, check out www.fortunesicons.com for great photos of rock stars by James Fortune)

The L.A. Musical History Tour by Art Fein mentions The Beverly Hills Hotel as the one that is pictured on The Eagles “Hotel California” album. It does not look much like it from the street level, but the shot was taken by photographer David Alexander in a fifty-foot fire department cherry picker, so that’s why it is not recognizable in photographs. The interior shot was taken at the Lido Apartments.

John Lennon and Yoko Ono used to stay in bungalows separated from the main body of the hotel for long stretches of time in the seventies, according to Fein.

The other claim to rock fame held by the Beverly Hills Hotel is the Polo Lounge, where famous movie stars and rock groups hang out, and people like to hear their name paged. “He’s probably hanging around the Polo Lounge,” was a quote by a member of Badfinger in regard to their wheeler-dealer crooked manager, Stan Polley, no doubt followed by obscenities.

“In-a Gadda-da-Vida” does not mean Garden of Eden, and where “Blue Jay Way” is located.

Next on the tour is Bido Lito’s Backstage, a popular nightclub in the sixties, located in Hollywood. Iron Butterfly lived upstairs after moving to town from San Diego, and the group Love was based there also. The book says that “In-a-Gadda-da-Vida” was not a misinterpretation of “garden of Eden,” but simply a nonsense phrase. Other groups that played there included The Doors, The Seeds, and the Strawberry Alarm Clock.

A photograph of the street sign for Blue Jay Way is included. This road was the inspiration for the Beatles song on Magical Mystery Tour by George Harrison, after publicist Derek Taylor had such a hard time finding the place in a dense fog. Fein says the street is still hard to find because the sign is stolen so often, that’s a surprise.

Another photograph in Fein’s book is the apartment building titled “Mars Bonfire former residence” in Hollywood. Bonfire wrote the song that really defined Steppenwolf, the classic “Born To Be Wild” in this apartment. He had just moved to L.A. from Canada with John Kay and members of Steppenwolf, and Kay asked him to write a song for them. Bonfire was inspired by the latest purchase of a Ford Falcon and a poster in a motorcycle shop, and the song is also legendary because it is the first mention of the phrase “heavy metal,” remembered from a chemistry class Bonfire took. It really took off when it was included in the film “Easy Rider.”

You can see the church Solomon Burke preached at, and Fein says he was the “popularizer” of three Rolling Stones covers “Cry To Me,” “If You Need Me,” and “Everybody Needs Somebody To Love.” I wonder who is credited as to writing those songs, as Fein only says Burke made them popular.

Who wrote “You’re Sixteen” covered by Ringo Star, and what is the connection with Elvis?

You can go and see the Burnette Brothers graves in Forest Lawn Cemetery. Johnny and Dorsey were brother from Tennessee, and they both worked in Memphis at the Crown Electric Company, where Elvis worked also part time a little later. They were often call the “battling Burnettes, as they were good boxers. In 1955, they formed a band with another Crown employee called “Rock and Roll Trio, which was signed to Coral Records, and created various rockabilly classics.

They moved to L.A. and met Ricky Nelson, who recorded a couple of their songs, including “Waitin’ In School.” Fein says they hung out with Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochrane in L.A., I think that would have been a really interesting scene to observe, all those rockabilly stars and their motorcycles and classic cars, riding around the town. If one era defined America, this would be it, Elvis, James Dean, leather jackets, greased-back hair, the works.

More musical history footnotes for the Battling Burnettes: Dorsey wrote a hit for Glen Campbell, and later the popular hits “Dreamin,” and then “You’re Sixteen,” which was covered by ex-Beatle Ringo Star in 1974. And Dorsey’s son Billy joined Fleetwood Mac in 1988. Some families are just born to rock and roll.

Frank Zappa’s favorite hangout in the sixties, and also Phil Spector, and the fake London Fog revealed.

Next stop is Canters, called by Frank Zappa as “THE TOP FREAKO WATERING HOLE AND SOCIAL HQ.” It was a Freak sanctuary during the sixties because of the fact it did not discriminate against people with long hair, and record producer Phil Spector and Lenny Bruce used to share a booth here, according to Fein. Spector news flash: he was charged with second-degree murder a few days ago and could get substantial jail time. The producer of the Beatle’s “Let It Be” album has sunk to the bottom. He was always crazy, waving guns around in studios and treating Ronnie Spector as if she were a farm animal.

The Central is pictured, this Sunset Strip nightclub featured many big name acts over the years, Eric Burdon and John Belushi used to sit in. It was made up to be the London Fog for the Oliver Stone movie about The Doors, though the real London Fog was up the street.

Century City is mentioned, due to the fact Tom Petty once visited this neighborhood to see his idol, Roger McGuinn, who lived here at the time. It’s a forest of high-rise buildings, and Petty wrote the lyrics “don’t wanna live in Century City.

The infamous Chateau Marmont is next, this place has long been a haven for movie and music industry figures, including Bob Dylan, Iggy Pop, Mick Jagger, Gram Parsons, Ringo Star, and the Jefferson Airplane. John Belushi died in one of the rooms here, and Fein says that Jim Morrison visited a “drug-racked” Tim Hardin here. Morrison hurt his back here trying swing into his room from a drainpipe, and John and Yoko used to stay in the bungalows, and Led Zeppelin rented the place for orgies. The photograph shows a tree-shrouded building that reflects the older style structures in L.A.


The Cinnamon Cinder is a large nightclub in Studio City with a storied past. It was run by Bob Eubanks, a famous radio and TV personality who hosted “The Newlywed Game,” and he is the person that introduced the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl. The press conference before the show was held here, that must be where the footage of the Beatle’s interview on my latest DVD acquisition.

Other claims to fame for the Cinnamon Cinder would be when it was called the Psychedelic Mushroom in the seventies, and memorable broadcasts by the Firesign Theatre took place there. In 1990, at the time Fein’s book was published, it was called Sasch, and featured big local acts and national bands like Mick Fleetwood’s Zoo.

Onwards to Ciro’s, which was built in 1939 for as a glamorous nightclub for the rich until it closed in 1957. It opened as the Crazy Horse in the sixties as a twist club, then became Ciro’s, featuring Sonny and Cher, Lovin’ Spoonful, and many other hot acts of the time. The Byrd’s first album cover has a photograph of them onstage there with Bob Dylan. After the Sunset Strip riots in late 1966, it reopened as It’s Boss, and had people like Marvin Gaye and the Fifth Dimension. It then became the “Oldies But Goodies” club in the seventies, before turning into the Comedy Store, which it remains today.

Then Club 88 in West Los Angeles is covered, it was formerly a strip club, but it started having bands like the Go-Go’s, The Bangles, X, and much of the footage of X was filmed here for Penelope Spheeris’s punk documentary “The Decline of Western Civilization.”

Club Lingerie on Sunset Boulevard deserves a prominent mention on various levels. Eddie Cochrane played here in 1959, and other classic performers followed, then it became Red Velvet, and the Kinks, The Turtles, Sonny and Cher all appeared there. The Righteous Brothers, Bobby Fuller Four, and the Knickerbockers (they were the house band and had a hit “Lies”) all were in the lineup. Zappa dismissed the place in his Freak map as the “HQ for the plastic and pompadour set.”

In the seventies, it became Souled Out, and since it was located across the street from Motown’s L.A. office, Tina Turner, Etta James, Kris Kristofferson, Bloodstone, and Stevie Wonder often showed up. In the eighties, The Plasmatics, the Replacements, the Cramps, Joe Turner, Sleep La Beef and others played the venue. It went from rockabilly to soul to pop rock to punk, always about the music.

Eddie Cochran: Larger than life

One of the many famous graves in Forest Lawn, Cochran’s grave is pictured here, he holds a guitar. Fein describes his beginnings as a teenager in L.A. playing country music, until he is signed to Liberty Records and a string of hits were produced like “Summertime Blues” and “C’mon Everybody.” He ended up in “The Girl Can’t Help It” movie because negotiations with Elvis broke down.

Cochran hung out with Ricky Nelson, The Burnette Brothers and Gene Vincent, who all seemed to ride fast motorcycles and have fast cars. But it all ended, as related by Fein, in England. Cochran toured there in the spring of 1960, he was very famous, and one of the first rockers to tour Britain, and Fein said he toured around on his motorcycle from town to town like Caesar in a motorcade flanked by his girlfriend Sharon Steeley. But just as he was heading to the airport with Sharon and Gene Vincent, the taxi they were riding in skidded and crashed, killing him and seriously injuring Sharon and Gene.

Another footnote to rock history: in the English film “Radio On” (1979) Sting plays a gas station attendant near the crash scene who dedicates his life to the memory of Cochran. And Dave Dee (of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mich, and Tich) was one of the first policemen at the crash, they are known for their 1966 hit “Bend It.” I’ve never heard that particular tune, but it’s one of the many details Fein inserts in this book of interest to musicographers.

The Ambassador Hotel : The Cocoanut Grove nightclub

The Ambassador Hotel was the site of the assignation of Robert Kennedy in 1968, probably how most of the world knows the place. It opened in 1921 as one of the classiest hotels in the world, with an elaborate décor and a patio under palms for elegant dining. Movies stars and all sorts of famous people stayed here, and people like Sammy Davis Jr. performed. Later rock acts appeared such as the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Tina Turner, Etta James, Waylon Jennings, Bonnie Raitt, and the Boomtown Rats.

The Cocoanut Grove changed with the times and definitely earned another niche in rock history by being the location for the highly successful Roy Orbison concert in 1987. This acclaimed concert featured Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, and many others backing Orbison in a tribute filmed in black and white. The music and production is excellent, and this film will be shown for years to come, I saw it the other day on PBS. A classic by any standards, and the rare case where a tribute show works so well

Nat King Cole moves into a nice neighborhood and gets a frosty treatment

Next on the tour is Nat King Cole’s house in tony Hancock Park, which has an interested story. He moved in there in 1947, and the neighborhood was up in arms, but Cole went door to door to reassure the neighbors he was okay. Fein says that one man told him he did not want “undesirables” there, and Cole told him “If I see any, I’ll call you.”


Continental Hyatt House- Legendary party central for Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones and many others.

The management of this multi-story modern hotel had a picture on the wall behind the desk (supposedly, according to Fein), that showed a long-haired musician and the caption “Treat This Man With Respect- He May Have Just Sold A Million Records.” They treated musicians well and welcomed them, and Led Zeppelin would rent as many as six floors here for their parties, bringing in motorcycles in the freight areas and driving them down the hall, while indulging in orgies and massive substance abuse like modern-day Caligulas.

Lemmy of Hawkwind wrote “Motorhead” here, the Rollins Stones movie “Cocksucker Blues” shows Keith Richards and Bobby Keyes throwing a television set out of the window. Jim Morrison of The Doors was evicted after hanging from a ledge by his fingertips, and Little Ritchard lived there though most of the 80’s.

"Letter to My Soldier"

Hello all.

I began writing a song 6 years ago but never finished it. Recently, I played the song (what I had written) to a neighbor of mine whose husband is overseas in the military. She and her daughter were so moved by the song that it inspired me to complete and record it. “Letter to My Soldier” is a song that is written from the viewpoint of a military spouse or loved one. It reflects the longing for a loved one who has been separated by obligations due to military service and the desire for them to come home safely.

The song is about the love, patience, strength and understanding the military spouse has and the desire for the return of the soldier. In the process of writing the rest of the song, I heard a wonderful chorus of voices in the background. I thought it would be nice to have a chorus of young voice rather then just me laying down multiple tracks to capture the sound. I asked my daughter if some of her classmates in her chorus class at school would like to be part of this project.

6 very wonderful students volunteered to sing and 2 more from VCU (a local university). To top off the recording I wanted a nice piece of artwork for the cover of the single CD. A local artist, Lana Gentry, volunteered to draw the cover. She did an incredible job. I asked John Leedes, Wayne O’Bryan and Rod Hyner (my husband) to play on the CD. They have volunteered numerous hours recording, practicing and playing for the TV show.

This morning we played the song live on the Virginia Morning Show. It was a terrific experience. Although the CD is done the CD packaging has not been completed just yet. I am hoping to have the CD packaged and copies made by mid March. If you know of anyone in the military or a military family that would like a copy, please let me know and I will send you some CD’s. I’ve attached the completed song to this email along with the artwork for the front cover.

Also, here is the link to see us perform it live on the VA Morning Show.http://www.wtvr.com/Global/category.asp?C=86435&nav=menu79_5_3 I hope you enjoy the song and if you are a military spouse or have someone in the military that you care about, I hope this song brings you warmth and that you will be able to relate to it. Love, Elana Lisa

Post – Modern – Power - Loungers

The Recliners, originally hailing from Austin, TX —now based in Richmond, VA-
take the traditional "lounge sound" and zoom-off into galaxies never explored

by Sinatra, Jones, or even Humperdinck. In over 11 plus

years of existence, The Recliners have entertained them all:

young and old, tuxedo-ed or tongue-pierced, in taffeta or

tattooed, debutantes and dirt-bikers.

A Recliner’s Recipe : Take traditional standards from the

20's to the 60's, add in newer songs from the 70's, 80's

and 90's, swing them across the dance floor, and then mix in

a generous shot of sultry bossa nova and cha-cha rhythms,

blend until smoother than a James Bond come-on line,

add tasty original songs (shaken...not stirred)

and you're in martini heaven, baby.

What the press has to say . .

"The Recliners are much more than a parody.;

it makes you want to book a cruise for two on the Pacific Princess.

The Recliners live? Yes babe, a must see!"

--Kevin Hopper, The Albuquerque Journal—

“With the swanky, swingy, and loungey arrangements of rock & roll tunes, your grandparents will have no idea that they are dancing to AC/DC and The Beastie Boys. It’s the perfect touch of surrealism to add to your wedding reception."

"BEST WEDDING BAND" "BEST LOUNGE/SWING BAND" “BEST COVER BAND” --The Austin Chronicle—

They Came, They Saw, They Lounged …
