FRANK BEARD BACK ON “TOP” … SETS RETURN TO ZZ TOP’S
ELEVATION TOUR THIS WEEK
Frank Beard, ZZ Top’s drummer, has been off the
road for the past few weeks to address a medical issue that
necessitated his return to Texas and, as a result, missing a number of
dates on the band’s ongoing Elevation Tour. It’s been revealed by
management that the issue that had sidelined him has been resolved and
that his medical team has OK’d his return to the tour. He’ll be
back behind his kit as of the Tulsa date on September 5th and
continuing with his bandmates as the tour continues through September,
October and November. (Dates noted below). Beard expressed delight at the prospect of his
return to the stage, commenting, “The doctors did what they did so now
I’m able to do what I do. Happy that it’s back to band business
as usual.” ZZ Top Elevation Tour 5-Sep

Photographer Jim Roup sent us this little piece of history …
The launching of the Saturday Morning Beatles Cartoons show
on ABC, circa 1965 … (we've included a couple of "stills" from the series, previously run in FH)
And these as well …
Happy 61st 🎂 Birthday to actor / musician Keanu Reeves, seen
here hanging at The House of Blues on Sunset Strip.
(We love Keanu!!!) kk Happy Birthday 🍰 🎂!!! to Al Jardine! Seen here at The Roxy in Hollywood. Jim Roup
From Timmy …
Monkee … and Monkey
NOT to be confused with Micky's Monkey ... That was a Top Ten Hit for Smokey Robinson and the Miracles! (kk) >>>It didn’t take long
for a young, handsome, dark-haired troubadour with an forelock of hair dangling
over his forehead and a snarling lip sneer by the name of Ellis Wesley turn to
acting and releasing a score of early Hit Films including ~~~
“Jailhouse Thief of
Bagdad Rock!” / “Wizard of Blue Hawaii!” / “Flapper Girls! Girls! Girls!” / “Viva
Monte Cristo” / “All Quiet on the Speedway Front” (CB)
My favorite was always
"Wizard of Blue Hawaii!" Remember the famous lines: "Pay
no attention to that singer behind the grass hut!" And the climax when the
Liquid Lava witch was doused in pineapple juice and as she rises up from her
ooze she states, "My cartilage is growing stronger! Oh what a world! What
a world!"
Ah, memories ... Shelley
60 YEARS AGO TODAY: 9/4/65 – In a classic case of “too much, too little, too
late,” The Who’s van, filled with $10,000 worth of the band's equipment, is stolen while
they are out shopping for a guard dog.
(Hmm … now I could see how THIS incident could have inspired Alanis
Morissette to write “Isn’t It Ironic”!!!)
Also on 9/4, Albert Schweitzer dies
