Likely getting in on the whole "Urban Cowboy" thing that was the rage. Likely started drinking Mickey's beer as well.
That was a time I kind of eased up on boots a little once it became a fad.
Iāll take your word for it.
Next time yourāre on the 605, stop off at La Moderna Bakery and get some real ones. But go early. They frequently sell out.
The Tamales at La Moderna Are Worth the Wait
La Moderna tamales are the most popular in Whittier.
Look at you! The most interesting man in the world. Thatās a cool pic.
I have a stack of singles; I think that one is in it.
When I visit, youāre taking me to get a real Akubra.

Yah, Howard Johnson passed away in '21 at 79. Had to look him up. I got it totally wrong as he was know as a tuba & Bari-sax player. I'll show myself out now...

Always wanted Beatle-boots and high fringed moccasins (like Neil) but settled for low fringed moccasins and later black crepe-soled blue-suede platforms! Stain Alive! Stain Alive!
So now itās Akubra, boots and bird Thursday? I got thatā¦
The boss uses an an amazing cadre of players. When we saw the High Hopes and Wrecking Ball tours, there were at least a dozen musicians on stage for some songs. Sadly, we wonāt be seeing him on his recently announced tour. Just too expensive with the unregulated scalping in the US. He and others have tried to rein it in, but itās almost impossible in L.A. Thatās ok, weāve seen him plenty over the years.
Weāre getting to see SSPUs in a couple weeks and hopefully Jim Messina in May. My wife wants to see Christopher Cross at our Fox in June (Ugh). At least I know what to get her for her birthdayā¦.
I need to break out my faux fur lined suede coat like Neilās. I wonder if it still fits.
Never had the holy boots, but absolutely love my black bull hides. I bought mine in Gatlinburg TN back in 1984, I wear them several times a week and they are still going strong! Elephant is about the only thing Iāve found that might outlast bull hide, I bought a pair back in 1990 and they still look brand new. Iāve had my mountain goats for a few years now but I donāt think theyāre nearly as durable and the others, super comfy though.
Iāll have to check out eBay to see in I can find some pre 1990ās Nocs, none of their new stuff fits me. Never been a Dan Post fan, they always came across to me as more of a utility boot than a western boot. My utility boots are Ariatās, great work boots.

I have wanted a pair of boots for a long time. I also don't know when I would ever wear them. So, no boots unless they are Red Wing work boots. Those, I have and wear a lot. And motorcycle boots. Those are part of my commuting attire most days. If cowboy boots would go through TSA without having to take them off, I might consider a pair. They typically have a steel shank, so nope.
