“700 vanilla lava lamps” sounds like something you’d find at one of New York’s hottest clubs.

Oh my God! I'm a standup comedian, and being constantly surrounded by comedy it's quite rare that I laugh out loud when watching another comedian especially on the screen, but Moses had me laughing SO HARD with his pool bit! He's a genius!!

Always a treat to see him - he seemed even more confident and patient this set. Big things ahead for him!!!

This is by far one of the best debut ever!!! He looks like a young edward scissorhands. HIS CHILDHOOD STORY COULD HAVE BEEN MADE AS A MOVIE.

The English Setters changed its name to The Cherry People and traveled to New York City several times to perform at nightclubs. During a show at Café Wha? the band was seen by producer Ron Haffkine, which led to a new five-year management contract with Jerry Ross Productions and a deal with Heritage Records. The Cherry People were the first group to be released by the MGM-distributed label. The group were promoted nationally by Jerry Ross with Dick Clark on American Bandstand, where they debuted their single "And Suddenly". The band spent the fall of 1967 recording their debut album at Bell Sound Studio in New York City. Haffkine hired Barry Oslander to co-produce and a number of studio musicians were used to replace the band members during recording. When the eponymous album was released in May 1968, it had a bubblegum pop sound. The band toured the country in support of the album, including a show at Whisky a Go Go on Sunset Strip. In April 1969 Chris Grimes, Punky Meadows, Rocky Isaac, Al Marks, Doug Grimes and Jan Zukowski went to New York to try to negotiate a release from their recording contract. Unable to get a meeting with Jerry Ross the band went to a jam session at Steve Paul's Scene, where they met Jimi Hendrix, Billy Cox and another person. Hendrix needed a drummer and invited the whole band to the studio, so Isaac, Grimes, Marks, and Zukowski went to the Record Plant and recorded three tracks with Hendrix: "Room Full Of Mirrors", "Crash Landing", and "Stone Free Again", with Isaac on drums, Marks and Grimes on percussion, and Zukowski on bass (though this was not used on the tracks). Two days later the band returned for another session, during which they recorded "Bleeding Heart" and "Drone Blues". All the tracks were later released on Experience Hendrix reissues.

@Lipstick Nista God knows everything. Yes, Jesus was a human, (sinless making His sacrifice worth it), but He was God. He did die as a sacrifice for us. We wouldn’t be able to reach God without it, sin separates us from Him and nothing we could ever do can be good enough. That’s why Jesus died for us. Jesus did know He was going to die and He rose again. Defeating death and the grave, showing God’s glory. We can have resurrection power through Him (and with Him) and go to Heaven with Him if we accept and believe in Him (committing our life to Him). Matthew 27-28. He became human to reveal Gods glory more and more. John 1:14. God bless you. Have an awesome weekend! ❤️
