March 17, 2008 By Leave a Comment
Thin Lizzy - "Cowboy Song" live from the Sydney Opera House in 1978. I don't know any serious rock fan my age who doesn't regret missing a Thin Lizzy show. Phil Lynott died too young. Horslips reeling and rocking with Irish classic "Dearg Doom." For you drinkers out there today! And for those who don't know Horslips, now you know! U2 and BB King got together and crafted this fantastic song called "When Love Comes to Town." Mega music power. Enough said - Happy Saint Patrick's Day. I encourage you to rock on. … [Read more...]
How about some fresh fruit?

Lotta Frutta is a runaway Intown Atlanta hit. I discovered this place about a year ago and they have a uniquely delicious approach to fresh foods, and primarily, fresh fruit. Gourmet "lottafrutta" cups - I love the Dulce Vitta! They are located on the corner of Randolph and "sweet" Auburn, and they are open from 7-5, 7 days a week. For breakfast, the Cochita con huevo is freakin' unbelievable! Great coffee too. Patronize these fine folks - you will never regret a visit to Lotta Frutta! … [Read more...]
More “Fresh Air”
March 15, 2008 By Leave a Comment
[youtube 1EacQEhrbBQ] As I said, the smartest guy in Atlanta real estate, John Adams is always a breath of fresh air. This "fresh air" idea made me think of San Francisco rock and roll legends, Quicksilver Messenger Service and their jammy song, "Fresh Air." John Cipollina is the lead guitarist, and he remains a legend for his searing touch on the 6 string. "John Cipollina's guitar sounded like no other...His signature sound will stand alone for all time as a part of the musical thread the San Francisco Bay Area has wrapped around the world." Listen up and you will hear another legend, Bill Graham, introduce the band as they hit the stage of the Fillmore West in 1972. Fresh air, man. This is some archetypal grooving, baby. … [Read more...]

March 13, 2008 By 1 Comment
John Adams' latest article for the AJC, which you will find at his website, www.money99.com every week, and in the Sunday "Homefinder" every week is entitled "RAPID UNCONTROLLED DECLINE IN HOME PRICES NOT HERE YET." John's research in the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight's Fourth Quarter report indicates that Georgia prices are not in freefall! He says "the facts indicate that most Americans are not experiencing a decline in their home's value!" That is, as I entitled this article, a "breath of fresh air." Ahhhhh... John graduated from Emory in the early 1970's - Described as "Atlanta's most trusted voice in real estate," John Adams is a leading expert and consultant on issues of home ownership in the southeast United States. He can be heard weekly on News-Talk Radio 920am WGKA starting at noon on Saturdays. Since 1973, he has bought, sold, brokered, leased, or managed residential real estate valued at well over fifty million dollars. John is … [Read more...]
