MITNG SPOTIFY WEEKLY PIKS

Trailer for Shannon Hoon documentary “All I Can Say” is sobering

In the years leading up to his death, singer Shannon Hoon appeared to be ready to take on the world, in fact he did, but drugs and alcohol claimed the life of this gifted singer way before, in my opinion, his work was done. Oscilloscope Laboratories recently released the trailer for “All I Can Say”

These vintage music billboards from the Sunset Strip will blow you away

I wasn’t alive when L.A. was this cool, but I wish I was. It’s hard to believe, when looking at these awesome music advertisements, that L.A. or even America, was this cool at one time.
