ACE OF SPADES. The Missing "LINK"
LINK WRAY
If Lennon is jesus and Chuck Berry god Then Robert Johnson is the big bang and Link Wray r.i.p.(May 2, 1929–November 5, 2005) "the missing link". Comparing this god to primordal man isnt hard when you see his tenacity live, his guitar work stage presence and swagger propelled rock and roll to new levels. One of the original rebels sporting greased back hair, leather jacket and never out of black. this is a picture homage to Link Wray. If you dont know him get to, if you like what you hear buy his albums if those get your blood flowing, and i know it will, vote him into the rock and roll hall of fame, how someone thats influenced everyone from Elvis to Jack White and is undiniably one of rocks best guitarists wasnt one of the first inducties is beyond me.

I was going to post some Ramones albums up today but in a flight of fancy i decided to go somewhere difrnt here. alot of people rember the scene in Quadraphinia the finaly clash of the titans "WE ARE THE MODS WE ARE WE ARE WE ARE THE MODS!" and the no slogan needed rockers. RnB vs Rockabilly. I may do the mods at a later time but this blogs about rock and roll, motorcycles and black leather jacket fashion.
here are a few clips from the original confrontation.

Black Angels Death Song
figured i would start in the middle
Velvet Underground.
everything black
all the grime and degradation
dirty beautiful street worn angels
chasing Demons down on white horses
those were the knights
the leather clad elite of the lower east side
motorcycles and mayhem
crossed dressed to impress
tough as nails
sad eye puppy dogs
understand me
we will never understand you
you are the epicenter the creation cry
you are the underground
you are a soft razor edged amphetamine
you are the drawn out lip and tongue kissed cigarettes
you cant forget and never regret
the late night street walkers dealers wheelers feelers and slow peelers
THANKYOU
VELVET UNDERGROUND on wikipedia
