Yesterday marked the birthday of one of our younger friends of the Halls of Rock. Word is, he spent the day at Magic Mountain! Let’s hope his day was as memorable as some of the following rockin’ days spent at this Southern California landmark.
Eric Burdon and War, “Magic Mountain”
By the power of this favorite B-side from my own early childhood, Magic Mountain became a magical place in my imagination. My slowly developing goal of becoming a California Man will not be complete until I get high, high, high at Magic Mountain.
Chickenfrank, hold the sceptre!
Hairy!
A place to launch your new direction?
I got to admit, I felt a little dirty just now watching Jan run across the park. Especially at about 2.36 in. At least I did after the 4th time I watched it 🙂
The young fan in question says “thanks Rock Town Hall!”
Pince Nez on The Brady Bunch: That is actually King’s Island in St. Louis.
Damn, you mean I’ve got to visit St. Louis to feel like a real California Man?
Gold, pure gold, baby! It’s not like I remember it though. I thought Marcia and Jan were so happy to have found the sketches that they started kissing, too. Am I misremembering? Was Carl Kolchak as cool as I remember?
