You gotta be a certain age to ride this ride kids.

That makes me wonder how many people alive today have even ever heard of Frank Marino?

Some may, here he is then and now.

I stumbled on this video while doing some Youtube Surfing and was blown away all over again by this guy.

He was heavily influenced by Jimmy Hendrix and this is his rendition of Voodoo Child.

The owner of the video has banned reproduction of it but this is good enough that you need to click through and watch it.

Give the video a couple minutes for the camera guy to get his head out of his ass and then prepare to get BLASTED IN THE FACE the way only Frank can do it.

Because it dropped off the news so fast it’s like it never happened.

Hmm, guess I’ll have to wait for the local headlines about rape, murder, exotic diseases and other indirect evidence to explode then, huh?

Freakin’ kids these days have no idea how easy they have it compared to us back in the day.

I remember places like this from my childhood.

Little snippets came rushing back when I watched this.

This is what American used to look like and it was this way for a long time.

Clear into the 70’s I can remember little Mom and Pop markets and stores in neighborhoods all over every county I visited.

Sometimes they were the local neighborhood store and sometimes they were way out in the boonies, serving small communities that were far flung but had at it’s heart, a little Market/ General Store/Gas Station/Post Office that the owners lived behind or on top of.

Miles away from anything else.

They were often the only thing that you could point to as the center piece of a community besides a church and were quite often just a wide spot in the road.

If you had this in your childhood, you were lucky.
