	How do you like your Pizza?

From the Bronx, and in my mouth.

Gary, can you get real NY Pizza in SF? I found a couple of places in Phoenix.

I went to San Francisco about 8 or 9 years ago, we stopped into a coffee shop near the hotel, and I taught the guy how to make an egg cream.

You asked Gary. But I can answer.

The answer is NO. A big fat NO.

The reason? The water.

Seriously. It's why you can't get a Philly cheesesteak anywhere but Philly. Or pizza. The same shit. The water used to make the bread or dough is essential in the final product.

Au Contraire my friend. That is a myth. There is a pizza chain out here called NYPD Pizza that claims that they use "Yonkers" water. I grew up in Yonkers. They consistently win the New York drinking water competition for flavor. Pizza in Yonkers at my favorite parlor Carlos' is really good. I grew up on that pizza.

NYPD pizza is shit, even though they recreate "Yonkers water" it's still shit.

Ray's pizza uses authentic ingredients and local water and the pizza rivals anything from NY. It's all in the dough.

And, yes, I like Philly Cheesesteaks and I"ve been to Philly on South Street and had a cheesesteak. But I don't flip over them. And I'm a deviant. I like provolone on mine.

Huh... where was Carlos' in Yonkers? Is it on Central?
Do you remember Rockin' Rex?

Carlos is at the corner of Central and Tuckahoe (across from Roosevelt HS where I went). Rockin' Rex was across the street. I bought Number of the Beast, Creatures of the Night, Killers and Lick It Up there. When CD's came out, he went belly up. and Sue who used to work there opened up a similar place further up on Central by Hartsdale Rd, which I am certain has since closed. I haven't been to that area since my father died in 2005.

It's rough to go back sometimes.

Sue! Yeah... I think her store was called "Record Stop." I bought my 1st KISS bootlegs there!

I don't have a secret recipe, but I do make a mean homemade pizza.

Getting back to Elton John, I have to admit that "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is in my top 10 all-time favorite songs.

it's tough for an artist- when the industry abruptly begins to cater to another type of music.

the natural expectation is that preteens/young teens become adults- within the span of about 10 years, so the wave of a music-group will crest- as the demographics change.

once the teen-market for one genre is milked- new consumers of a younger age take their place, and unfortunately- the entertainment-style changes, too.

we've been pretty fortunate to have been alive in the period- between the 1950's & early-1990's. (despite old bands continually putting out new albums, today- i don't think we'll experience anything like that era again (sadly).)

Have you noticed that most great musical artists have a good 7 - 10 year run and then just kind of run out of gas?

Yeah.

In fact, I'm trying to think of anyone/band who hasn't!

the stones.

and the Who

I'm not huge into either of those -- but did The Stones or The Who really keep releasing top-notch material after the mid 70s?

The Stones had Tattoo You with Start Me Up and Undercover of the Night, not bad Material.

The Who? Using Eminence Front as a benchmark, I think they hit a rough patch when the 80's hit.

For me, the Stones stopped being the Stones when Brian Jones died.

Actually, you know who's been popular and consistent year in year out?

Eric Clapton. He keeps rolling right along. And, it's been about 40 years since the breakup of Cream.
