Today it’s my birthday. It’s Mark Lindsay<\/strong>‘s too. I’m gonna have a good time… I’d like you to dance… <\/p>\n

Yes, today is March 9, the birthday for yours truly, the producer\/director of the upcoming LOUIE LOUIE documentary, and webmaster\/janitor for this little LouieLouie.net website.<\/p>\n

March 9<\/a> is also the birthday for Mark Lindsay<\/strong><\/a>, the first lead singer for Paul Revere & the Raiders<\/strong>; David Pogue<\/strong><\/a>, New York Times technology writer and publisher of the wonderful Missing Manuals book series; the late Mickey Spillane<\/strong>, author of some entertaining Mike Hammer novels; Vyacheslav Molotov<\/strong><\/a>, namesake for an explosive cocktail; John Cale<\/strong>; Robin Trower<\/strong>; Ornette Coleman<\/strong>; Keely Smith<\/strong>; Lloyd Price<\/strong> and the late Yuri Gagarin<\/strong><\/a>, the first astronaut to orbit the earth. <\/p>\n

I am in very good company.<\/p>\n

So, to honor this special occasion, I thought I’d give the LOUIE of the Week award to a vintage video recording of Mark with Paul Revere & the Raiders<\/strong> performing LOUIE LOUIE. It’s actually a lip-synch performance of the original 1963 studio recording.<\/p>\n

I’m actually a little angry with Mark Lindsay. The folks that handle his online Groovy Stuff web-store<\/a> are doing a terrible job taking care of orders. I’ve got a good friend that ordered some stuff from the website many months ago, and he’s been completely ignored. This is not good, and I hope Mark is able to resolve the issue quickly. Until the customer service issues are resolved, I would encourage folks to consider the advice “BUYER BEWARE!” <\/p>\n

Mark is a very talented musician, and none of this nonsense should diminish the fact that he’s played a very important role in rock & roll history, particularly when it comes to the legend of LOUIE LOUIE. I encourage folks to attend his shows, listen to his radio program, and visit his restaurant. If you’re in Portland, Oregon today, this would be a very good day to do so. Tell ’em LOUIE sent cha… wish him a Happy Birthday and remind him that he needs to hire someone else to do a better job administrating his webstore.<\/p>\n

By the way, for those of you feel like helping me celebrate March 9th , here’s a way to share your support:<\/p>\n

My thanks to all that continue to support LouieLouie.net.<\/p>\n
