THE DEMONS s/t 1977 Mercury. Kidd & co wrote one of the best Power Pop meets Heartbreakers anthems of all time "She's So Tuf"..if you don't know it..find it now. Even the smaller NY bands were signed to majors and assigned big producers..That had no idea how to promote them and they were unknown outside of their circle..So destined for obscurity.. They played with THE DICTATORS a lot & their claim to fame was that leader ELIOT KID was best friends with JOHNNY THUNDERS & that WALTER LURE was in The Demons before THE HEARTBREAKERS.. You can for sure hear that influence. Any fan of L.A.M.F. would love "Bad Dreamin'","I Hate You" & "It's Gonna Be Alright".. Their sound also reminds me a lot of THE REAL KIDS/TAXI BOYS.. Similar vocal delivery & Pop sensibilities. They cover "I Fought The Law" (pre Clash) & "He's a Rebel" which are both good enough.. Thanks to Tina Lucchessi for turning me onto these guys by covering "She's So Tough" on her classic late 90s LP. Another killer $5 dollar sealed "cut out bin" record for years.. Some people caught on after KIDD was interviewed in "Please Kill Me" & was known to be around Sid & Nancy during all of that..sadly…Now it's a bit of a classic for fans of that New York Post Dolls sound…there was actually a few other NY DOLLS influenced bands from NY that get forgotten like these guys did..more next week.

CONNECTION is better than PERFECTION. This thought came to me this morning as I was doing my weekly legal training show The Legal Lounge (you know you want to check it out join my free Facebook group The Legal Entrepreneur for free access!) As a mom most of the time I do this show right after I put my little guy down for a nap before I have time to get ready. Sometimes I even do the show after a workout when I am a sweaty mess. I think a few months ago this would have stopped me from doing the show altogether. If I didnt look put together with perfect lighting should I even do it? Was I going to look stupid? NO. Somewhere along the way I realized that people dont care if you look perfect. In fact it makes you a LOT more real and relatable when youre not! I think the most fun Ive had doing live trainings was while my son was crawling around in the background or while I was out on a walk so I could keep him in one place while I did my training. Ive built my business while raising my so

A lot of people tell me that I really need to get over those who have hurt me because it happened years ago but when you make yourself vulnerable to a person and give your trust to them 100% forgiving them isnt easy once they break it. For the best 7 years I have made friends just to see them turn on me and make my life miserable. This is happened every year. For seven years. So Im sorry if I am pretty fucked up because of that. So Im sorry if Im not really to forgive that they did it me whether Source by R6Chris0915
