Come Sail Away, Come Sail Away, Come Sail Away with Me...
The best part of flying Jet Blue round trip LAX to JFK is more than 10 hours of VH1 Classics. All of these epic videos (and Terra Blue Chips) renders me paralyzed and anxiously anticipating the next video...Genesis? Van Halen? Heart? Queen? Bon Jovi? John Courgar, Sister Christian by Night Ranger??? Are you kidding me!!! My productivity enters an all time low. My ambitious plans to complete the work I have been putting off or read that magazine that has been weighing my bag down completely collapse and a sit there glaring into my little rock 'n roll portal. More than not, I am probably singing as well, and bothering my neighbors (who are pretty damn close on Jet Blue). The closest thing I can get to this experience here in LA is listening to The Sound 100.3FM on my way into work and singing at the top of my lungs (no neighbors in the car, and yeah, I'm not afraid to claim it). Anyway, it's been a couple weeks since my last flight, but I can't get these videos out of my mind, so I thought I would share them with you. The Styx, The Stones and Mötley Crüe... One of my favorites is Mick Jagger prancing around in his lavender leotard in the Stones "Start me Up"video, but apparently Mick doesn't like looking back on this one as he's had all the embedding script on You Tube disabled "by request". But if you click here, you can watch it yourself. I'm curious if the white yoga pants are still in rotation today?
... this is my digital journal of sorts. Started it just before I walked away from my last job, and many months before I opened up the POP Studio. There is no real rhyme or reason to the things I post, and they have become quite infrequent these days with everything happening. And each post feels like one tiny little fragment of a very large puzzle we're all collaborating on together... a little art, some of my favorite music when it pops into my head and a few pics of family, friends and the waves along the way. I am very thankful to work with a large family of creatives (there are more than 30 of us in the studio now), and everyday inspires me in different ways. Hopefully bonfirebeachkids captures a few of the visual and melodic moments we all share together. And along with my longtime girlfriend, and two of our good friends, we opened up General Store on the corner of Superba and Lincoln Blvd. in Venice Beach. Please come and visit. Look forward to seeing you - Juan Mas
