Topanga Beach Rodeo Grounds: 1960s-70s - Book Trailer
"Topanga Beach Rodeo Grounds: 1960s-70s," a book by J. Murf, as told to Pablo Capra
(Brass Tacks Press, 2025)
You’ve heard the surf-rock music of Blue Juice. Maybe you saw them play at a Malibu party in the 1970s. Now the singer J. Murf tells how he started the band that “didn’t wanna see love fade away.”
No, this isn’t “a case of mistaken identity.” Here you can find all the song lyrics that are “so contagious.”
The band started out in Topanga Beach’s Rodeo Grounds, a hotbed for musicians, actors, and people who “drive with the lights out.”
For a decade, “the boys were out in force,” playing in Hollywood nightclubs, and surfing the waves “from sunrise to sunset to riding in the moon.”
Their legend, blurred by “too much medication,” finally gets its due. So “tell the boss you’re lost” and “take your phone right off the hook.”
“It’s crucial” that you read on.
