It’s time for the first LOUIE post for 2021! It’s a new year, as we hit the “restart” with a new operating system in the USA, which will hopefully be a better year than the other year! Today is 1-23-21, or 12321….backwards or forwards… a Palindrome Day! Exciting, huh? Anyways, the first noteworthy LOUIE […] On the third day of LOUIE LOUIE 2020 Christmas, someone gave to me… BRYAN AND THE BRUNELLES Bryan and The Brunelles were Barry ‘Snip’ Turner, Eddy Spence, Ray Goodship, John Bachini, and Bryan Burke. A British band that recorded LOUIE LOUIE in 1965 at the legendary Abbey Road studio in London? I had […] On the second day of LOUIE LOUIE 2020 Christmas, someone gave to me… SMOKY & THE BEARS! I’m not sure what to think about Smoky & the Bears. There’s nothing here that acknowledges Smokey Bear, the legendary advertising icon that spoke out on behalf of the U.S. Forest Service.

We’ll start off with these three Micro-Mentions… 1) Don Imus, the controversial disk jockey that recently passed away last month, released a LOUIE-related 45 […] With the beginning of the new year, we thought this would be a good time to acknowledge the latest efforts to answer the question “How many versions of LOUIE LOUIE are there, anyways?” Our friend Clay Stabler has created a special Wikipedia page to answer that very question. “Making progress on the LL […] This week, I was shocked and saddened to learn that Kim Shattuck passed away. Kim was a rock ‘n’ roll woman blessed with a wealth of charisma and a wicked sense of humor. As New York Times so eloquently pointed out, she was a member of the “vanguard of punk bands crashing into the […] I just learned that today is the 16th anniversary of the moment in time when Etta James was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame April 18, 2003 in Hollywood, California.
