Jason Williams, born 1975.   

"How Soon Is Now?" 1984

Heard this song, "How Soon Is Now?", 1984, in a Starbucks this afternoon.  Reminded me of the early 80s.  Here are the lyrics.  The Smiths are terrific and so is the great Morrissey.

 

I probably heard the remastered version since the song went on forever, meaning 7 minutes.

Huffy Bicycles Factory, Foothill Blvd., Azusa, 1962

This was interesting.  Now if I could only find the location and the name of that bike shop in Baldwin Park on south Ramona.  

Thank you to Jerry Tuckness @ Azusa Buzz.  I don't recall ever stepping foot into the factory.  I am sure that I drove past it more than a dozen times. 

Glendora used to be home to many military academies . . .

The pictures below depict Harding Military Academy......they closed their doors in 1972......due to a major drop in enrollment..........

"Glendora used to be home to many military academies, which have since been converted into either churches or private school facilities. These academies included Brown Military Academy, now St. Lucy's Priory High School and Church of the Open Door on Sierra Madre, and Harding Military Academy, whose property is now home to North Glendora Private, a prestigious private community adjacent to Easly Canyon atop Glendora Avenue."

Supertramp's "Dreamer," 1974 and 1990.

Back in the late 1970s, early 1980s, Supertramp was for me such a fresh sound on the music scene followed by Alan Parsons Band, Jethro Tull, Styx, But this 1974 song, "Dreamer," is not so optimistic, dreamy, or hopeful but rather an indictment against unproductive minds. 

When "Dreamer" had been released in 1974, its B-side "Bloody Well Right" was more popular in North America. 

Decent analysis of the lyrics.  

The lyrics.  The lyrics sound more like a mom or dad scolding a child who is lost. 

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well, can you put your hands in your head? Oh no
I said, "Dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer"
Well, can you put your hands in your head? Oh no

I said, "Far out, what a day, a year, a life it is"
You know, well you know you had it comin' to you
Now there's not a lot I can do

Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer
So now you put your head in your hands, oh no

I said, "Far out, what a day, a year, a life this is"
You know, well you know you had it comin' to you
Now there's not a lot I can do

If I could see something
You can see anything you want, boy
If I could be someone
You can be anyone, celebrate, boy

Well, if I can do something
You can do something
If I could do anything
But can you do something out of this world?

Take a dream on a Sunday
Take a life, take a holiday
Take a lie, take a dreamer
Dream (dream), dream (dream)
Dream (dream), deam (dream) along

Dreamer, dream, dream along
C'mon and dream and dream along
C'mon and dream and dream along
C'mon and dream and dream along

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Can you put your hands in your head? Oh no
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Can you put your hands in your head? Oh no, oh no.

I don’t listen to modern music anymore because instead of giving us talented and beautiful artists like this who sing wholesome songs to lift the people up they force lady Gaga on us with degenerate songs filled with pornographic demons.

LA TIMES BUILDING: Looking east on First Street in downtown Los Angeles, 1940s

Wikiwand says, "Los Angeles Times Building (1935–2018), street address 202 W. First Street, original structure on the southwest corner of 1st and Spring . . . ."  But that don't look like the "southwest corner."  It looks like the southeast corner of Broadway to me.
