I can easily hear him in my head telling me some obscure fact about my Telecaster (guitar). To me he was the club’s greeter the calming maître d. I never thought of him as a bouncer, although I did see some crazy stuff go down at the club a few times. Beard was the ultimate supporter and very protective of his musician friends. I spent lots of time talking music, musicians and musical instruments with the guy and always dug it. One of the coolest cats I ever knew was the doorman at Dada, John “Beard” Brewer.
Deep Ellum was just starting to get noticed by the general public, but the cool cats were already there making it happen. We loved it and had some of our most amazing moments at that club. Our home club soon became Club Dada, where we performed for years. The scene was moving to Deep Ellum in downtown Dallas, so we had to move, too. It was happening up and down Lower Greenville. But one night we started to notice the crowds dropping off, dramatically. We regularly rocked Nick’s Uptown at one end and Tango at the other, eventually settling into a more rootsy vibe at Poor David’s Pub. In the early days of Brave Combo, we played all up and down Dallas’ Lower Greenville Avenue. The band officially turns 41 in a couple of months, so we can call ourselves anything we want. You know, Aldous Huxley’s novel, BRAVE NEW WORLD? People have sworn to us that Brave New Combo was the name of the band in the beginning, because they were there. One might call it Brave NEW Combo, as we have been mistakenly called, on occasion, for decades. Overall, it’s a somewhat different sound for Brave Combo. But the music is mixed and mastered and ready to be presented. But that just lets you know how finely we have crafted this release. I’m sure he’s enjoyed as much of it as he can stand. The new album is finished! This is great news for Eric, our recording engineer. Brave Combo has always tried to provide a unique perspective an alternative viewpoint. Our music will address the needs of the moment. Just get some nice-looking designer face masks and come on out. If civilization lasts, we are piling lots of gigs into this crazy year. Man, this has to be a great time for all the doomsday preppers around the world. Geographically, most of the country is remote, so finding isolation should be pretty easy. You can also shrink-wrap yourself, move to a remote part of the country and stockpile guns and delicious survival food. You can choose empathy or self-centeredness. Nothing will ever be settled, so you can choose fear or not fear.

But it’s also potentially exciting and full of possibilities. Everyone is all nervous and jittery and we don’t know who to trust.
Brave 2 2020 movie#
Is this the best we can do? Our 2020 disaster reality movie is not any better than THE BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS? Now THIS is depressing! As a species, we’re a pretty big mess right now. Seriously, it’s also not well-written and full of clichés. Anyway, back to the real-life disaster movie we are all seeing unfold daily. You should go to your neighborhood Blockbuster Video store and rent a VHS copy for your next family movie night. Many film buffs consider this to be one of the worst movies ever made. He couldn’t run very fast, though (large and out of shape), so he never seemed like much of a threat to me, but he somehow found a scantily-clad woman to carry around, monster-style. He got a big ol’ dose of radiation and became the beast. Anyway, he was being followed by the KGB, and Tor, while avoiding his pursuers, stumbled right into an area where atomic bombs were being tested. It starred Tor Johnson as a Soviet (Russian) scientist who had some secrets, and he was defecting to the USA.
One movie, featured occasionally, was THE BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS. When I was a kid, I bought many, many, many monster movie magazines. If you’re younger than 45 you might need to Google some of these names, especially Tor Johnson. The part of the wanna-be dictator is being played by Tor Johnson.
Starring Burt Reynolds, Dom Deloise, Rip Tayor and Angie Dickinson. You know, a stupid, sideshow barking wanna-be dictator has a grip on a hostage nation, a deadly disease for which there is no medical cure is circling the globe, the stock market is tanking, and, of course, there’s global warming. It feels like we’re living in the first 30 minutes of a bad 1970s end-of-time disaster movie, right about the time everyone is figuring out that something very bad is happening.
