From later in his career, another of Chubby’s original hits. The Limbo was all the rage in the early 60s! “Limbo Rock”


 


From innocence to hard core blues, here's Stevie Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 – August 27, 1990) in live performances doing several of his best! First, live from Montreux 1985, "Pride and Joy."


From there we go to "Texas Flood," followed by a great display of his "sharp as a knife" guitar licks on the Arsenio Hall Show in 1989 blistering out "Crossfire."


Here’s a great live version from Live at "Night Music", Los Angeles CA 1989 of SRV cranking out “Crossfire”


We'll close Stevie's segment with his tribute to the guitar Master Himself! Here's Stevie Ray Vaughan live doing a fantastic homage of “Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)”


From 1987 in Tennessee, here’s another smoking performance of “Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)”


And for those who just can’t get enough, here’s a 93 minute live concert of Stevie and Double Trouble! For your enjoyment, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble Live At Montreux


 


Eddie Cochran (October 3, 1938–April 17, 1960) was an American rock and roll pioneer whose career was way too short given his huge influence on rock music. His songs, especially "Summertime Blues," have been covered by thousands of bands, some of them the biggest in history. He “lived fast, died young, and made a good lookin’ corpse,” as it used to be said.


First, some great live film footage of Eddie in 1958 performing the iconic “Summertime Blues” (As a special treat, here's the classic performance by the Who at Monterrey Pop in 1967 of "Summertime Blues")


Here’s an amazing classic one hour live performance film created way back when! It features Eddie and his best friend Gene Vincent of “Be Bop A Lula” fame, cranking out that legendary early rock and roll classic. “Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran – Legends in Concert


From the movie “The Girl Can’t Help It,” here’s some great color footage of Eddie live doing his smash hit “Twenty Flight Rock” (this was the song Paul sang to John that got Paul accepted as a member of the Quarrymen.)


Workin’ the rockabilly formula, here’s Eddie in another live clip performing his hit “C’mon, Everybody”


From 1959, Eddie performing the Chuck Berry classic “Hail Hail Rock and Roll”


Also in 1959, here’s a great live performance of “Teenage Heaven”


Here’s live footage of Eddie doing a slow one in February 1959, “Have I Told You Lately that I Love You” From the same gig, “Money Honey”


 


Lindsey Buckingham (October 3, 1949) was THE guitar in the mid-70s to early 80s version of Fleetwood Mac. This guy plays breathtaking guitar, and I found some great live performances!


Here’s Lindsey and Fleetwood Mac live in Japan 1977 performing a tune he wrote to kick off the 1975 eponymous Fleetwood Mac album, “Monday Morning”


From April 1976 on the Midnight Special tv show, Fleetwood Mac live doing another LB tune he wrote with Stevie, “World Turning”


From the album Rumors, here’s a LB tune that kicked off that album! The video is lousy, but the sound is great! From 1978, Fleetwood Mac live cranking out “Second Hand News”


From 2009 in Pittsburgh, Fleetwood Mac in a great live video of “Second Hand News”


From 1977, live in Japan, Lindsey and the band offering up a great version of his song, “Never Going Back Again”


Here’s Lindsey and Stevie in an acoustic duet of “Never Going Back Again."


From Letterman, here they are again in 1998 doing "Landslide" and "Big Love"


In another acoustic gem from 2006, here's Lindsey live in Milwaukee doing "Trouble." From the same show, "Go Insane."


Live in 2008 at Bass Hall, “Big Love” and “Go Insane”


From here we go highly electric! Lindsey and his band in NY 2008 doing his signature tune, "Go Your Own Way." From the same show, another of his great tunes from his Fleetwood Mac days, "I'm So Afraid."


Here's Lindsey smoking with Fleetwood Mac! First, a 9+ minute awesome performance in Pittsburgh in 2009 by the band of “I’m So Afraid.” From that same year, this time in Paris, here’s another 9+ minute performance of “I’m So Afraid.” (his guitar work at times made my jaw drop!)


And lastly, from their live 1997 video "The Dance," here they are again doing "I'm So Afraid."


We'll close Lindsey's birthday tribute with his signature song! Here's da man with Fleetwood Mac in "The Dance" performing the incredible "Go Your Own Way." His guitar work is magical!!


*********


For those who have been on a Moon of Neptune these past 12 years, India.Arie (October 3, 1975) is a Grammy Award-winning American neo-soul and R&B musician, songwriter, and producer. I couldn't find many live performances, but I did find a couple, along with original music videos of her better-known hits.


The music video of "Video"


The music video of "Little Things."


I found a live acoustic Live at VH1 performance of India.Arie doing her hit "I Am Not My Hair." Here's the original music video of "I Am Not My Hair."


From the same VH1 performance, here she is doing "Ready For Love."

We'll close this segment with India.Arie performing live in the studio doing the beautiful "Beautiful Flower."


*********


And now, last but never least, the great Gwen Stefani (October 3, 1969)! She began as the frontwoman for the ska technopop group No Doubt, and has split her time between the band and solo careers as a performer and fashion designer. For her birthday tribute, I couldn't find much live material, but quite a few music videos.


Here's Gwen and No Doubt in the music video of their mega-hit "Spiderwebs."

The music video of No Doubt doing "It's My Life."


The music video of No Doubt doing "Just A Girl."


The music video of No Doubt doing "Hey Baby."


The music video of No Doubt doing "Simple Kind of Life."


The music video of No Doubt doing "Don't Speak."


From her solo career in 2004-08, the music video of her major hit "Hollaback Girl."


The music video of "Wind It Up."


Here's the music video of her last solo hit, "The Sweet Escape."


So from the original Twister through a tragic blues guitar hero to an equally tragic rock and roll pioneer, from a guitar flashmaster through the voice of neo-soul to ska-influenced technopop, we have had some great talents born on October 3. If you're inclined, please go back over to you tube and enjoy whatever you like of these amazing Libra mega-talents. In any case, a big Happy and Merry Birthday to all of these first rate performers!

ps – Also send up a big Happy Birthday to Gore Vidal, born 3 Oct 1925, and the Mickey Mouse Club, "born" Oct 3, 1955. That show mattered if you were a kid back then. Also a highest respects and appreciation, very special Happy goes out to the great Western Arhat, Master of the Qabalah Paul Foster Case, born at 5:28 p.m., October 3, 1884 in Fairport, New York.

Happy 2013 Birthday to One of the Greatest Spiritual Astrologers of All Time, the Legendary Marc Edmund Jones

Yes, today would have been the 125th birthday of Dr. Marc Edmund Jones, Master Astrologer who gave the world the Sabian Symbols, the Jones Patterns, the Sabian Assembly, and a whole lot more!


I had the rare privilege of meeting Dr. Marc Edmund Jones (born 8:37 am in St. Louis, October 1, 1888–March 5, 1980) on several occasions near the end of his long and distinguished life. He was brilliant to the end, no nonsense in his approach to astrology, and no nonsense when it came to what he thought WE should and should not be doing and saying! Charming, but blunt and to the point. He had to be one of the tersest Libras I’ve ever met!

Happy Birthday 2013 to One of the Greatest Beings Ever to Walk the Earth, Mahatma Gandhi

AppId is over the quota AppId is over the quota Aquarius Papers - Global Astrology: Happy Birthday 2013 to One of the Greatest Beings Ever to Walk the Earth, Mahatma Gandhi Aquarius Papers - Global AstrologyUsing Astrology, Spirit, and Archetypes to move and groove through the intersections of fate and free will.


 


Every year we offer a huge Happy Birthday to a couple of the greatest who were both born on October 2. This year I’ve gathered so many memorable quotes from each that I’ve had to split the birthday celebrations. Groucho was first, and now it’s the Mahatma’s turn!


As I told you at the Groucho celebration, in one of history’s great ironies, the "great Spirit," aka "Mahatma" Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948), and the great wit Groucho Marx (October 2, 1890 – August 19, 1977) are both Libras born on October 2! Even though they were born 21 years and worlds apart, they had some important astrological similarities.


As I noted in the Groucho birthday post, both had very sharp wits, both punctured imperialists and fascist thinking at every turn, and each had an amazing sense of humor. Neither of them had much use for authoritarians or Fascists of any stripe, and it's interesting to me that they each influenced millions during the same era.


This was truly a remarkable duo who changed the world forever, each in their own way. I suppose great Souls incarnate to answer the need of their times. This is a perfect example of the illumination power of the ridiculous and the sublime existing as one.


He was one of the greatest to ever walk among us, a human who claimed his "god self" and became one of the best of all time. Gandhi was a truly remarkable man for the Ages, and showed the way to the High Road regardless of local circumstances. No less than Einstein had this to say about Gandhi:



Albert Einstein, one of the greatest minds humanity has produced, once said of Gandhi that "Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood." One of the most effective politicians in history, he demonstrated the practical truth that the way of applied Soul force using non-violent techniques is the most powerful political tool we have.


As I’ve noted before, though many think of him as a caricature of a kindly old man, or a hopelessly naive advocate for a non-violence believed impossible to achieve, Mohandas Gandhi, a.k.a. "the Mahatma" (Great Spirit) gave us all the only sane technique for restoring peace in our ridiculously divided and aggressive world. Today we take a new look at some of his great quotes, among them: "Gandhi was once asked what he thought about western civilization. His response was: 'I think it would be a good idea.'”


Gotta love anyone with that sense of humor. Today we have quite a few of his more memorable quotes that will serve as grist for the mill of your Soul, and the Soul of humanity and our world. Enjoy, and send up a moment of appreciation to one of the most remarkable men ever to walk this Earth.


 


Gandhi's 7 Deadly Social Sins: Wealth without Work, Pleasure without Conscience, Science without Humanity, Knowledge without Character, Politics without Principle, Commerce without Morality, Worship without Sacrifice


Democracy and violence can ill go together. Evolution of democracy is not possible if we are not prepared to hear the other side.


Hatred ever kills, love never dies; such is the vast difference between the two. What is obtained by love is retained for all time. What is obtained by hatred proves a burden in reality for it increases hatred.


You assist an evil system most effectively by obeying its orders and decrees. An evil system never deserves such allegiance. Allegiance to it means partaking of the evil. A good person will resist an evil system with his or her whole soul.


Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.


Whether humanity will consciously follow the law of love, I do not know. But that need not disturb me. The law will work just as the law of gravitation works, whether we accept it or not. The person who discovered the law of love was a far greater scientist than any of our modern scientists. Only our explorations have not gone far enough and so it is not possible for everyone to see all its workings.


However much I may sympathize with and admire worthy motives, I am an uncompromising opponent of violent methods even to serve the noblest of causes.


Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment.


Nonviolence and cowardice are contradictory terms. Nonviolence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. Nonviolence springs from love, cowardice from hate. Nonviolence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. Perfect nonviolence is the highest bravery. Nonviolent conduct is never demoralizing, cowardice always is.


Every murder or other injury, no matter for what cause, committed or inflicted on another is a crime against humanity.


Man's nature is not essentially evil. Brute nature has been known to yield to the influence of love. You must never despair of human nature.


It is the law of love that rules mankind. Had violence, i.e. hate, ruled us we should have become extinct long ago. And yet, the tragedy of it is that the so-called civilized men and nations conduct themselves as if the basis of society was violence.


Faith... must be enforced by reason... when faith becomes blind it dies.


And because it is one of my all-time favorites, here it is again:


Gandhi was once asked what he thought about western civilization. His response was: "I think it would be a good idea."


Here are three more posts with the Mahatma's wisdom:


Mahatma Gandhi and our Quantum Reality


Gandhi Speaks - Why even limited nuclear war and weapons are immoral


Gandhi On Nonviolence


Aum and blessings to you, Mahatma. May your Soul's message to us all grow stronger with each day that passes.
