dj's do borrow a lot of rock and mix it up to sound new millenium hey it's 2007 we're not smokin joints at woodstock listening to hendrix wearing kaftans we're in clubs with laser light shows...like stevie winwood's valerie call on me...eric prydz makeover...speed up the beats...dj skribble is very cute too behind those dark sunglasses..we luv hot djs ha...introducing you and your guitar into the mix would only make it even funkier...i liked what they did with michael hutchence's song too on a dj remix a few years ago...i love your precious heart...it keeps his memory alive for tigerlily whom i read was missing being over here in australia with her grandmother patricia glassop...incorporating your guitar into club anthems will keep you up in the house...ha you old sexy t-rex it'll keep you 4eva young

just got sound for youtube...with all that noise out on the street in ya neighbourhood i don't think the pitter patter of rain on your loft roof will set such a romantic tone in bed for you ...doncha wanna open a homeless refuge and donate your boulevarde star to the underprivileged and disadvantaged who would be lucky to afford a bottle of bourbon let alone an ounce of heroin...c'mon you know it's only for the rich rockstar that shit ask kurt cobain not the guy giving that badass performance of smells like teen spirit on the acoustic he can't even afford a decent razor for that facial hair...as for security give them code666...ha with a rebel yell ...do a remix of billy idol topless past hooters and take it to the streets to raise funds for awareness...i read rupert murdoch sold the rights for google to advertise on myspace for $900 million maybe rupert has the heroin stash...ha he can afford it and he's probably a regular at hooters you only usualy get old blokes with balding problems who can't get much female attention...i'm going to do a thesis on it...tits and twits...ha

I watched clip 2 then clip 1, clearly a stupid day. You're gonna end up funding a soup kitchen and feeding all the kids by Xmas. One of the things that gets to me the most is it's so fucked up that the chase and need for "freedom" or escape comes down to living on the streets, world over.
We don't have 'hooters' here - LOL - um well actually I do since I'm a chick :)) but it means something different!
Had to go to bed last night and missed Spread Ents, gotta wait for the catch up now.
Have a great weekend DN.

sometimes, blog comments are just like a Seinfeld episode...

Nice vids, Dave. I have to show you my NYC pic of the guy with the "tell me off for $.25 sign. Classic.

OK we have seen your neighborhood now...when do we get to see the new apartment. :)

lindapolver checkin in. rockin NC every day.
i saw the new vids, man on the street piece; Dave you have a heart of gold. those kids would not ask you for anything but you offered to help them? awesome Dave.

business/our industry Dave is so cold and ruthless. we are just souls in bodies getting thru life for good or badtimes. either way we will be fine. we dont need gov-co, we dont need a "leader", we dont need regulation. freedom and happiness is all in our heads/mindset. we'll make it. the human condition has complexities, duh.

anyways, there was a post about Ruppie Murdoch. dont worry fans; i know what he owns and how he operates media. have a great weekend ya all.

No offense Karen, but you are really weird!
Wow, your neighborhood is different, living in small town Idaho I can not even imagine that kind of neighborhood... Good luck Dave!

Oh my God, those homeless kids just broke my heart! They were so sweet. Don't imagine you got much sleep that night - such is the reality of Hollywood. Good piece.

Hey u 2,

That was awesome! Dave, when are u gonna realize u are, and have been a part of, the latest scene! You are a natural interviewer, as well. Peace~

Dave,

You sir, … are such an inspiration to humanity. When you provided those kids with some money to buy food totally brought tears to my eyes. You are such a sincere and caring guy. The whole street vibe thing totally rocks. Margaret and I have never been to LA but seems to be the place to be..uhu? The nightlife seems to be crazy (fun) there.

Here in Corpus Christi, TX, were the slowest of the slows, nothing really happens here except hurricane scares, feces in our water scares (ya, gross I know) and maybe… maybe a few great concerts here and there. Margaret and I always have to travel to San Antonio or Dallas to see to a decent concert. Let’s see what am I getting at…Shit…I don’t know. I totally lost my train of thought. LMAO!

I just wanted to comment on how nice it was to see you interviewing in your neighborhood…you are an awesome guy. Great Show! Bummbed to hear about the YOUTUBE thing was loving the "G-thang video"

Caught the SRL show yesterday… Sanaz Rocks!

Peace & Love
Yoli

Dave. You need to be doing more of these. I'm sure you're busy. The man on the street thing is all you. Head over to Boys Town. I would love to see that one. Those guys would eat you alive.

Seth

Well you won't be lacking entertainment in that neighbourhood! Another good film piece, thankfully it's only visual and doesn't include smell. Hopefully those kids did use that money for food. A couple of weeks ago I had to go photograph an alleyway down the side of a disused building for my work - don't ask why, but it was a silly reason. I stumbled upon 5 junkies shooting up.....thankfully everybody was friendly and laid back and I gave them a couple of minutes to clear up and clear out.....and man, they looked ROUGH. Got back home that evening and told my husband - he went ape-shit and proceeded to tell me all the possible scenarios of me being murdered in an alleyway by 5 junkies - just never crossed my mind at the time. Street culture has a very dark side to it, some kids are sweet but some are downright evil. You hope you don't meet the evil ones.

What's this about Youtube?? Once again my crap Internet provider is preventing me from keeping up, damn, damn, damn, damn. I'm hoping that the situation will be resolved in the next 2 weeks.... Dave, the Internet is obviously not the place of free speech/programme content that you hoped it would be! What video clip got booted?

Happy weekend everyone........................SB

Dave,

It is so sexy how u own your own issues and choices in life! Sometimes, I am weak and I want to blame others, but u are so inspirational 2 me cuz u own 100% of your mistakes..I have to keep reminding myself, it's my brain, my choice, my life. Cheers sexy.

wow. though i missed lastnight's spread i'm glad i caught this. i can't tell you how many times i've caught the very same vibe when i've found myself in the very same place, at the very same time on hollywood blvd. around the kodak.

and if i were single, and if i were still in music...i would have a loft there too.

good for you. have fun...oh, and watch where you step.

-m-

Dave you are a really good person.

<3

Hollywood Blvd...gotta love it. Have spend a couple nights trolling the streets there (not alone...it can get pretty dicey)
Really funny stuff, Dave. You always make me laugh out loud when I watch those 'man on the street' vids. Looking forward to coming down for next weeks SE show. Had to miss tonights to train for my new job. Booo!

Hope everyone is well...Im finally starting to feel settled here in LA. It rained today so that made it feel a little more like home. :)

Love, Amber

Hey Amber, glad you're doing well up in LA. I don't know how you can stand the traffic! That's why I rarely go up there. Hope to meet you soon. I know Dave has missed me since Rock Star wasn't renewed! HaHa

benji and joel madden often used to wear misfits tshirts supporting their fave band y'know early on in the gc saga long after the jane's addiction saga...it's not really a reference to not fitting into a constitution directly but yeah hooters we don't have them either but we have bars all across australia with topless girls working in lingerie and topless in most country towns and cities actually more popular in the country areas...kenneth cole does an advert for menswear stating the homeless of america could have been all housed instead of evicting saddam such is the cost of the iraq war...do you wear kenneth cole menswear?and i just raed an article about this Petit family that were murdered and raped in a home invasion in connecticut on july 22nd so i guess crime has no geographical boundaries just like hooters has no geographical boundaries just like freedom should have no geographical boundaries...the hollywood boulevarde looks identical to kings cross i played in the park as a child in the middle of kings cross and was completely safe it's known as the sinbed of sydney for prostitution and heroin and stripclubs...homeless kids pimpin themselves...i think australia has 105000 every night out homeless that's our stat what's america's...and i was highly amused at dave scared of AIDS honey if you ain't got it yet you 're immune...xx

Those videos are great, you are good at interviewing, particularly random people. But I can't really get the sound properly...thats your neighbourhood? I thought celebrities lived in big houses with swimming pools with a massive garden and a big wall...Hollywood Boulevard brought back some great memories of our first big trip abroad....we were SOOO excited when we saw those stars in the ground...and then we saw MICHAEL J FOX in a cafe with big high chairs...thats youth for you...an impressionable vulnerable time...so its sad to see kids on the street being exposed to so much so young...
so, when are you going to get YOUR star in the ground? If I was you I'd put one in the ground myself outside your loft and make it bigger and a better colour than those other run of the mill
manky ones. HA!

throcks? remember those from a few weeks ago? thos thongy sock-y's for men? gotta wear those :)

sunday 10; throcks...and do you tune to key of C or do you ever tune the guitars down?

Dad comes to see me in NC we jam and he tunes us to C for his voice.

man on the street work topic. Dave, its up to us, our people to do what we do; whether its music, art, business, being a mom or dad, taking control of our culture and taking control of our times for the better.

i am looking forward to the years to come. these old farts in media will die off and the new more progressive minds can start and stay in media. i really want to swear and rant but i am behaving today. society just irks me.
now, the noise...I bet $20, Dave has sound proof windows or noise cancelling head phones.
lastly, the "conspiracy" theory i see, or have experienced, is that the jobs are not there for the kids. i know the street kids would be working if the work was there. and if the application process was less regulated and complicated, they'd be working and eating vs homeless. but is the street life what punk music portrayed? so is system been set up against us? i circumvent, work around it. in my work i refuse to do anything illegal or unethical. by the grace of God.

down south its still hot, so hot you dont need hot water or blankets. even with the a/c on its feels warm. i bet the homeless dont have hot water. my water heater gas thing is still unfixed or undone. big deal. i can do with out it in honor of those who dont have their needs met either. b/c i am praying for these kids on the video today. next time i write i'll be more succint, just felt like writing today. thanks for letting me be here.
