Laurel Canyon

[horseloverphat]

Perhaps of interest for Beatles & Lennon adherents...is the fact that 'The Beatles' apparently spent not an unreasonable amount of time at the '10050 Cielo Drive' mansion aka The Tate murder home...at least whilst they toured the US for the last time. (1966)


23 August Shea Stadium, New York
25 August Seattle Coliseum, Seattle
28 August Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles
30 August Candlestick Park, San Francisco

August 28: Dodger Stadium Los Angeles, California:After a three day hiatus at a rented Beverly Hills manision, The Beatles played their biggest single show of this 1966 U.S. tour, with 45,000 fans attending this baseball stadium home to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The second time we had it was in L.A. We were on tour in one of those houses, Doris Day's house or wherever it was we used to stay, and the three of us took it, Ringo, George and I.

I wonder who dealt with the housing arrangements?

According to Lennon (Rolling Stone Magazine)...he sites this time spell as being the time that he tried LSD for the second time...seemingly with David Crosby & Roger McGuinn et al. (at least that is how he remembers it)

All of this taking place at 'Doris Days' place (slip of the tongue/acid haze John?)...which means Terry Melcher's place...which later, ultimately meant the Polanski residence.

Small world eh...it'd be easier to list the people who hadn't been there at one time or another...lol?

But hey...most of you probably know this already, just thought I'd put it out there.

Addendum to Wagging the Moondoggie:

"With the United States having long led the world in both lunar exploration and blowing shit up, this mission couldn’t have really been any easier, so it came as no surprise that everyone seemed to be brimming with confidence. President BlackBush, Nobel Peace Prize in hand, was reportedly heard to say: “How do you like me now, motherfuckers?! I’m going to bomb the motherfucking Moon! You all thought that punk-ass bitch that preceded me was arrogant? Watch how I roll!”"

There are two new installments of Wagging the Moondoggie!



"I was pleasantly surprised, however, to find that the two hours that I spent watching the Science Channel spin the Moon landings was time well spent, seeing as how I picked up quite a few facts that I had not previously come across in other source material. The most important thing that I learned was a lesson, of sorts: never attempt to mock the Apollo missions – for the simple reason that all such efforts will be in vain, since no claim made in jest, no matter how absurd, can ever top the lunacy of actual claims made by NASA and its subsidiaries."

"As I was typing these very words, I realized that I was doing so on a genuine, vintage 2005 laptop computer. If I were inclined to wear digital watches, which I am not, I would now be holding in my hands all the computing power needed to get me and a couple friends to the Moon and back. If we utilized the power of my desktop computer as well, and went down to the Party Store to get a few rolls of Mylar, we could probably make it all the way to Mars and back. How cool is that?"

"It would appear that what was deployed by the mother ship to shuttle our guys down to the Moon was essentially an oversized Jiffy-Pop container (with the brainpower of a digital watch)."

Wagging the Moondoggie - Part 10

Apollo 8 was the last Apollo flight to leave the ground during the Johnson administration. A decade before the launch, LBJ had laid out America’s goals in the space race, and none of them had much to do with sending men to the Moon: “Control of space means control of the world. From space, the masters of infinity would have the power to control Earth’s weather, to cause drought and flood, to change the tides and raise the levels of the sea, to divert the gulf stream and change the climates …”

Ooooops......

Wagging the Moondoggie, Part XI

"In the first of this series of posts, I mentioned that the Apollo story was connected to the Laurel Canyon story by way of a facility known as Lookout Mountain Laboratory, the intelligence community’s top-secret, state-of-the-art film studio nestled high in the Hollywood Hills. As it turns out, there is another interesting connection as well: during the span of precisely one month, during the infamous summer of 1969, the Laurel Canyon and Apollo stories reached a simultaneous climax, of sorts."

"NASA claimed, by the way, to shoot for 99.9% accuracy in the manufacture of its Apollo spacecraft, which shouldn’t have been a problem for a workforce composed of Nazi rocket scientists, bra seamstresses and surfers. Even if that lofty goal had been attained, however, that would still have left 9,000 defective parts per launch vehicle."

Wagging the Moondoggie, Part XII

www.davesweb.cnchost.com/Apollo12.html

"Taking into account that the Constellation Program was begun in 2005, and that the Apollo program allegedly landed men on the Moon in a mere eight years, it would appear that it wouldn’t actually take twice as long to get back to the Moon with today’s technology, as previously advertised, but would actually take at least three times as long! If, that is, we were able to man-up and follow through with the plan, which obviously isn’t going to happen.

But be assured that that’s only because we don’t have the money. Otherwise, we totally would have made it back to the Moon. Possibly in less than twenty years. By which time all the technology that we know and love today will be as obsolete as pagers and Betamax video recorders, and trips to the Moon will still be something that we only talk about – sometimes nostalgically, as we fondly recall the fabled glory days from a decade few will remember, and sometimes with an eye to the future, a oft-promised future that never seems to arrive."

Thanks for the update, P(D). I love that series! ;D
The local radio babblers were talking about the moon landing, and spoke to a local "rocket scientist",
who waxed on and on about what a great accomplishment
it was. I fully intend to set the record straight today on "open line Fridays", citing the "Wagging the Moondoggie" series.

This is very interesting. The Candlestick Park concert was notoriously brief, and the folks at PID Miss Him have pretty much narrowed down the disappearance
of Paul, and the first appearance of Faul, to the days between August 24th and August 28th.

Give 'em hell, B!

Meh. The "rocket scientist" works at the station, and so no sooner had I mentioned
"Wagging the Moondoggie" than they brought the dude onto the air, and he babbled on
about how "all of those people couldn't have been in on the secret" (they weren't), and then
the host said that all the moon "debunking" about the flag waving on the moon had been
shown to be erroneous on a recent "Mythbusters" show. (As if that was all there was.)

But maybe people will check out Dave's site.

Yeah, that is always the pat answer, that a too great number of people had to be "in on it" so as to fool the populous. All the while ignoring the obvious, that the ones most necessary to fool are the ones in the midst of it.

Any two bit conman doing time will tell you the easiest mark is one who thinks he's too smart to be fooled..

Wagging The Moondoggie was better reading than the Laurel Canyon stuff.

In as much as this has become the de facto "moon landing hoax" thread, I have decided to post
the following videos here. ;D I must say, they are - uh - thought provoking, imo.

COME HOME

Okay, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here. Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth. There's the windup, and there it is, a line shot up the middle. Look at him go! This boy can really fly, he's rounding first and really turning it on now; he's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for second. The ball is bobbled out in center, and here comes the throw, and what a throw! He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out! No, wait, safe, safe at second base! This kid really makes things happen out there! Batter steps up to the plate. Here's the pitch. He's going, and what a jump he's got! He's trying for third; here's the throw, it's in the dirt-safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base! He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher glances over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted down the third base line; the suicide squeeze is on! Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close, holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!
