I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say are you sure it's raining oil? I used to see that same sheen on the rainy streets of Pasadena growing up and it was just the surface oil from cars being washed off the street. I'm not saying it's not raining oil, but I need more conclusive proof than this, ie. timelapse of a rain gauge that shows an oily slick on top.

That doesn't explain the oil on the grass.


The video doesn't actually show oil in the grass.

Some total crackpot pointing a video camera at some (petroleum based) blacktop is proof of nothing. The sides of roads is where cars park. Oil leaks from cars. Rain falls from clouds. Rain mixes with oil from cars on the pavement. Rainbow sheen appears. Happens every time it rains, on every part of the planet where cars park.

This is reminiscent of that video where the lady is claiming a conspiracy when she notices a rainbow in her front yard water sprinkler.

I went to see his Alimony show in Pasadena it was excellent, just gotta love John Cleese (Cheese).

Listening to The Motels, Hall & Oates and The Go-Go's on The Mighty 690 AM all the way up in Pasadena. It's 91X on FM now, and still broadcasting from across the boarder.

I'm late to the party as usual.

Stew, 35, Male Scottish Earthling. I've lived all over; Pasadena, Northfield (MA), San Diego (Pacific Beach - /me points to rottenseed), Carson City, Las Vegas. I've also done every job out there imaginable except for retail. I'm back in school pursuing a degree in Theater, and hope to become a comedic actor one day. I don't even care about the rich and famous angle (although that sure would be nice...), I just want to make a living at it.

Until then, I hope to emulate my true hero, Siftbot, and subjugate every user, post, comment, and blog on VS to my own whim. For now, I just pretend I'm a flour sifter with an angry disposition.

Here Is my blurb:

Hello, my name is Randy.

Born in Naples, Italy (army brat)and moved back to the states in 1965 at the ripe age of 1. Spent a major amount of my growing years circling around the east coast, with the hub being North Carolina. Spent my grade school years in a small town just outside of Raleigh, NC, Wake Forest.

Got a college degree in Design And Production back in 88 from The North Carolina School Of The Arts. Moved to L.A. after graduation and have lived here on and off for the last 20 years. I currently make my home in the sleepy village of South Pasadena, with my super groovy 5 3/4 year old son, Jack.

By trade I'm a audio engineer, I do a fair amount of mastering, and transfer for the recording industry. I have been doing this for around 7 years, 3 years ago I busted a move and opened my own biz. Much happier working for myself. I work essentially with all of the same people, only now it's from my home studio instead of the ol' office building. I was nominated for a Grammy last year (didn't win) so I guess people notice my work, and thats cool.

That's all folks

We used to have a native parrot in the United States, but we expended, er, ate them all when the nation was young. That was the Carolina Parakeet, and these descendants of escaped pet-market birds are the only thing we have (these aren't the only species of transplant parrots here: I spent my college years being awakened by double yellow headed amazons from the Pasadena trees).

I would love it if quaker parrots lived near me, wild in the trees, and I would happily volunteer to help them if they needed to be relocated.

We had a band of high school kids who could emulate GFR to the tee. I think it was about 1971. I remember an assembly in the auditorium when they played and absolutely tore the house down. I wonder if they do that in High Schools any more . . .

I played the crap out of my GFR double album as well as the Woodstock album on a record player which had a turntable that got so hot it discolored the record labels.

KPPC radio in Pasadena was my station. Wikipedia has a great article about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KPPC It was home to Dr. Demento and Firesign Theater as well as the Credibility Gap. I was introduced to rock music through them and a couple of brothers I hung out with. I didn't know it at the time, but we were at the roots of something very special in pop culture and, in a larger sense, American History.

In reply to your comment:
“One of my brothers had this LP and I used to sneak into the boy's room to listen to it. I think I scratched it up and the boys complained to Momma so she got me my own little record player. This was one of the first 45s I asked for. ”
