I see him on Clement, checking out all the Asian chicks.  He could use some sun, but then again, what SUN???

Oh schnap.  I just realized that this is part 2 of the all-local hideous 10@10 from last year, right?  I'm suddenly very afraid.  No, wait.  I'm confusing this with the all SF set I think.  I hope.

ETA: Last year AL had separate local sets by the decade.  Ah, yes...the good ol' days.  :'(

Yeah, I hear you there. I was afraid "San Francisco Days" would slip in, so I rather clumsily suggested Chris Isaak shouldn't count. Next time I'll do the research!

And silly Mr. Isaak, doesn't he know that the Hog Island Oyster Company in the Ferry Terminal is the best place to check out Asian chicks?  :P

It amuses me how widely Mr. Isaak's fondness for Asian chicks is known.  A good friend of mine who's of Japanese heritage used to work in the WEA offices in SF (back when there was such a thing) and fielded some advances by him. I believe she shut him down. At least that's how she tells it.

When I lived in the Inner Sunset I used to frequent a small diner run by a Korean family, and there were a number of Isaak photos and memorabilia on the wall. I always wondered what the back story there was, but never had the nerve to ask.

Journey was my first ROCK SHOW, back when they were good-ish, and I have no problem with this song -- I really don't.  

It is the very definition of overplayed, but no hate here.

I have a great memory of seeing Romeo Void at a national college radio convention in Wash DC 1980.

I have a great memory of meeting Deborah Iyall and her husband (and her mother and a family friend) while eating at The Obrero Hotel, a long gone Basque boarding house on Stockton.   Diners sit at a communal table, so we had to talk with each other, and it was a good hour into dinner when we realized who she was.  

She told us she was in a band, and I mentioned I was from back east and named the city (Rochester).  "Oh we played there!" she said. 

"Really? what was your band's name?"

"Romeo Void...." she said, a little hesitantly, just in case we never heard of it.  

my girlfriend let out a yelp, dropped her fork, stood up and nearly jumped across the table to hug her.  "I thought you were her!"

they gave us a ride home!

And actually, I will backtrack a bit on Journey, since they did get even worse in years to come.  But I was such a huge Journey fan from 75 - 78 (must have seen them 8 times), that the switch to pop left me bitter.

I have a great memory of seeing Romeo Void at a national college radio convention in Wash DC 1980.

Also on the bill, The Plimsouls, a fun LA band.
Wow.  Great show!

Oh, and also the Cretones, another LA band; Linda Ronstadt covered 3 of their tunes on her 1980 album Mad Love.
From Wiki: After the Cretones broke up, lead singer/songwriter Mark Goldenberg went on to write the song 'Automatic' for the Pointer Sisters, a hit in 1984. He later toured with artists such as Peter Frampton and Chris Isaak. Since 1994, he has been lead guitarist for Jackson Browne and continues to write, play, and produce. Cretones members Steve Beers and Peter Bernstein helped produce and compose the score to the TV show 21 Jump Street. Steve Beers has been producing television ever since, while Peter Bernstein has gone on to write numerous film and TV scores.

I had no idea the best place to check out Asian Chicks is the Hog Island Oyster company.... learn something new every day.

Note to self:  Avoid Hog Island Oyster company!  :P

It amuses me how widely Mr. Isaak's fondness for Asian chicks is known.  A good friend of mine who's of Japanese heritage used to work in the WEA offices in SF (back when there was such a thing) and fielded some advances by him. I believe she shut him down. At least that's how she tells it.

When I lived in the Inner Sunset I used to frequent a small diner run by a Korean family, and there were a number of Isaak photos and memorabilia on the wall. I always wondered what the back story there was, but never had the nerve to ask.

Well, he is incredibly pasty and everyone knows that pasty white guys dig Asian chicks...and vice versa.  (This usually works with gays, too.)

According to Websters, pasty is an adjective meaning “resembling paste”, or “pallid and unhealthy in appearance”. I’m not sure Chris Isaak qualifies.

“Pasty” can also be used as a noun , i.e. “Meat Pie”.

I've usually seen it written as "pastie."

In any case,  the meat pie version is pronounce "past-ee"  -- as in "F is one letter past E."

Don't confuse it with pastie, like the nipple doily!  :)

One word before pastie is “pastiche”, or “a literary, artistic, or musical work that imitates the style of previous work”. Now, THAT seems appropriate for Chris Isaak!

Mmmmm, pasteeeees.  Very much a Great Britain foodstuff -- my English grandmother made them, and I loved them.

And, being that I'm scotch/irish/english, I'm quite pasty in the winter, but quite a rosier color during summer.  I do not notice my taste in women changing much by season.  Unless I am unclear on the concept...

btw, the pasty/pastie is built like that for a reason: coal miners, for instance, could hold onto the crusty edge and eat the main part without getting it dirty. When they ate all they could, they discarded the crusty "handle" edge. 

I suppose empanadas are like that, too, so the gauchos could eat them without contaminating them with cow-pooh hands.

not sure about pizza.  Could be: southern Italians are pretty dirty in general ... just ask a northern paisan!  (ok, that was a joke.)

maybe calzones are in that family.  

"But mama, how I'm-a gonna eat-a my pizza pie?  My hands-a...  dey got-a dirt alla over them-a!"
