1-800-777-SERIOUS?????

WHAT THE HELL IS GOIN' ON???? JULY's almost GONE??? INSANITY!!
OK fine KIDDIES! After a whirlwind June, it turned out to be a whirlwind July somehow but then I knew it. So let's see what happened?? My face got painted up again for some mysterious reason [HA HA HA HA HA !!!], crazy LIVE EARTH happened & it turns out AUSTRALIA kicked everybody's ass. I myself have been guilted [yeah, who cares!] into purchasing Energy Saving Light Bulbs, which happen to be way cool by the way...they turn your room almost into black lighting, check 'em out, you'll actually save moolah, they're awesome. I ran into a very couple of insane ex-es, one who sort of looks like Roger Waters & I'm contemplating whether or not to..... whatever. I checked out the 'Broadway' version of XANADU, which offended me, because I love that movie, just because they were making fun of it, whatever... I got to hang with my boys form AIR SUPPLY again. Yes, I can't get enough of them, they are too cool. And so much so that Mr. Graham just finally may do my song for me....let's see.....I missed ASIA this time 'round which I'm severely pissed about, but at least their still together & I'm completely freaked out that BRIAN MAY is going to get his PH.D finally. Good for him!

So what's been riding my goat lately? [??????????? ewwww I know!} Well, let's see. I'm tired! WHAT HAPPEN TO OUR GREAT BANDS???? Tired of fake bands trying to get away with being who they are & they're not. I can't take it anymore. How is it that no one cares about this? KIDDIES! When you listen to a band... you love the music yes??? Don't you want to hear that sound that way live??? What are you listening to? DO you mind that total strangers are messing up these songs, that have no right to??? These are also so called 'musicians' who are only out to make an extra buck & serious don't give a crap about the music anymore. They all have money, they don't need to do this. I believe one of these bands has had the actual decency to stop for a while because can't find a real singer to save their lives, after dumping 2 - count them 2 horrible ones, when they actually have one in their band already & they're so stupid they can't even see this.

1. I'm speaking of course of JOURNEY. [You didn't think I was gonna mention them huh??? Heh heh!] Then rumour has it they already have gotten someone new to suck for them. Why Jonathan Cain can't be the singer I'll never know. I think people will dig it, but will they figure this out NO!! Of course running this outfit now is none other than Neal 'Dorkhead' Schon, who has forever claimed that this is his 'job' & not something he actually cares about making music anymore. Well. Let's see how long his job lasts.

2. STYX- They're opening for DEF LEPPARD! Need I say more??? An 80s band. I know Styx 'turned' into an 80s band when Mr. Roboto came out but MERCY!!! Their 1st album came out in 1972!! Get Real.

3. THIN LIZZY- What is this about???? The lead singer & the bassist of this band is unfortunately GONE! You do NOT for ANY reason try to get someone to replace that. I cannot figure this out. They claim to have 2 members of the old band. Now let's study this shall we kiddies. The 'ORIGINAL' band was a trio. OK! NONE of who are in this current line-up now. OK. Their later line-up with their guitar duo was more popular, kind of like Styx. FINE! BUT!! NONE of them sang. Scott Gorham I believe is still there, which is great because he's amazing. but that is still insane. Celebrate their music but do NOT call yourselves THIN LIZZY!! This is like everyone is Rush passing & someone who played sax on one of their records long ago taking their name & going out & playing all their songs.

[NO offense to RUSH because you guys rule & we never want to see you go & you guys are kicking everyone's ass right now! I"m just trying to set an example for all the kiddies here who don't know what is going on....]

4. FOREIGNER: WOW, it's actually either Foreigner or Led Zep. Jason Bonham is on drums now, which is fine, he's amazing. BUT, there's 8,000 other guys there & they may make a new record. This is just sickening. Mick Jones is the man, fine, but GET REAL!!

[Note: Notice the pattern Ladys: all dumb guys.....]

5. VH: I don't know what to say about Van Halen. I never was a big fan. I'm a David Lee Roth fan. But sick arguments everywhere have it that their old bassist should come back in place of family member Baby VH. I personally like to keep it in the family. But if the original is the original then they have the right to suck with him again. So I don't know.

I know there's more but I can't think of any.....

5a. GENESIS???????? So what they sold more than they ever did with Peter Gabriel, should that really be an issue?????? Nah, doesn't count, they wouldn't be anything without TONY BANKS. I DARE them to ever try to tour without him!! HA !

5b. ASIA- Before last year Geoff Downes knows why this didn't work. HA!

6. DEEP PURPLE: I can't say anything about them either, because I adore Ian, but apparently some kiddies out there still are extremely pissed that Blackmore isn't there anymore. Steve Morse is the coolest. But their drummer has been there since day 1................................................. I never was into them, but I finally got to hear Jon Lord explain why he was Jon Lord [no matter what you think, it matters kiddies....] & he should be there, but he won't be................

The only way this is working right now is :

1. REO SPEEDWAGON- Since day 1 of all this crap, there's has been no one more perfect in preserving their music more than Kevin Cronin & he's not even an original member. He cares about his band & their new album is very cool.

2. CHICAGO- All this band ever needed was their horns so as long as those boys are still there they still kick it. Their new album is fantastic.

3. BERLIN- There's no one left here except Miss Terri but she cares about her music so much so she actually made them sound harder & it works. Incredible.

4. AIR SUPPLY- The duo of love still reigns, no matter who's behind them. THEY KICK ASS LIVE!!!

5. QUEEN - I don't care who's singing for the [YES I DO!!!] but as long as ROGER TAYLOR & BRIAN MAY can still play instruments I don't care what they do as long as they keep rockin'! & REMEMBER its not called QUEEN- Its QUEEN + PAUL GOT IT!!! HUGE DIFFERENCE!! SO QUIT KNOCKING IT!!! GET A CLUE!!

6. LYNYRD SKYNYRD- THey kept it in the family, that's all that matters!

7. BLUE OYSTER CULT- No one wants those brothers back in this band more than I do, but BLOOM is still the master & it still rocks!

8. ELO- Somehow, a few years ago, when crazy Jeff Lynne got rid of EVERYBODY in his 2000 piece band [the exception being cutesy Tandy]
he MADE SURE that the new boys he got played everything EXACT!, even adding a few awesome Ladys!!! Now THAT"S precision! This is all documented in ELO's ZOOM DVD!

9. MOODY BLUES- There are only 3 left but they still got it.

10. STEVE MILLER BAND!!!- STEVE MILLER IS STEVE MILLER !!! DONE!!!

I'm so done......sort of.....

10A. DOOBIE BROS. - they still are unbelieveable as I found out last nite at Jones Beach. Patrick Simmons is the MAN! But he really needs to cut his hair.

Now I'm done & I think it's Aug....????? Ugh.......

WEoRBL

PLUG IT IN YOU WUSS!!!!

It's June already??? Damn, I guess I missed Daddy Day, what else did I miss, oh June!,HELLO?? I didn't even see it & it seems to be already towards the end & we're coming to blow stuff up for next month, hmmm....
OK, apparently I wound up on a giant bus,[Apparently They Were Travelling Overboard.....only cool people will get this..]

WATERS ROGER lyrics

wound up in crazy old Syracuse then travelled all the way to the RAMA to 'rama' with some crazy Canadian Styx fans [not just from there but all over the US.]
Met some very cool people including my new Rocker Chyk Can-Ada Pal Miss Angell, who subsiquently made me an honorary Chyk, which is way cool[& loves my boys AIR SUPPLY!]; Miss Dayle-writer lady, Mz Helen who knows her Styx well, & lots of other cooly people including some very awesome comrade kids who completely helped us good loons in WNTDTYR blow the roof off that RAMA!! But along the way,while we were up there wasting Styx, some silly things happened in the rest of the world while we were gone. SO I'm here to recap or reiterate the UN-believable state of our music these days......

1. Apparently some loons over at VH1 have given permission to bring back UNPLUGGED!!! Can I kill the person for this??? Not only is this sorry show back, but the bum who started it in the 1st place is back to remind us all why it sucked in the 1st place!! BON DORK FACE!! WHAT A NIGHTMARE!! OK! Acoustic music is one thing!!! There is a DIFFERENCE!!!!! Let me see if I can explain!!!!.....

CROSBY, STILLS & NASH invented it, NO ONE will EVER do it like them , they even plugged in for some of their songs,[if that's what you wanna freakin' call it...] all this because it was a miracle Neil Young even knew what an acoustic guitar was, he was so loud! but the point is they are the MASTERS at that! Even metalheads like them!!, because they swore they would never have to play that kind of music because CSNY were so good, there was no competition, not that there will ever be. BUT TAKING SONGS THAT WERE MEANT TO BE LOUD IN THE 1ST PLACE & JUST MAKING THEM MORE BORING IS NOT UNPLUGGED!! IT'S STUPID!! [Not that Bondorkface ever made any good loud records anyway, but he is the culprit of all the bad whiny music in our lives!,even though some of it is hilarious....]Even Tommy Shaw & Mr. Blades didn't DARE do the ALL GOOD PEOPLE part of Yes' Your Move [at 1st I didn't understand this, but I finally realized!]because he KNEW he wasn't about to destroy it...SMART!!! How long must I go on about this?????

Let's see, what constitutes Unplugged???? UHhhhh..... No amps???, Uhhhhh......no electric guitars???? No uhhhhhh.....electric instruments??? HOW ABOUT NO ELECTRICITY LOONS!!!! No mics, no plugs, NO FREAKIN' POWER!!!! Yeah ok, I'll give you that. But Kiddies! CRAP is still CRAP, ESPECIALLY WITH NO POWER!!!!
Actually that's not true, but TALENT makes POWER, am I CORRECT!!!! ??????? Well, they didn't think so for their 1st show! I can't be nice about this, I just can't...... AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! Did I mention they're supposedly a COUNTRY BAND NOW????? [Apparently this is also,the 'new excuse' for being UN-plugged....??????????]

But I digress, apparently the POLICE are going to do this show, I can't wait to see this. Andy Summers is one of the greatest guitarists in the world, but it will be interesting to see how that will work, even though he's a genius, he has to deal with Sting [& if it's anything like Sting's Unplugged, hmmmm....]

2. Also, Stewart has been complaining that THEY [the POLICE!] have been sucking live lately which is UN-believable! I don't know what's worse, someone saying you suck or someone in your own band saying you suck....WOW.

But I know how he feels, [believe me, telling you it sucks is what i live for...]I felt a little weird when I played Syracuse, but then I'm not Stewart, I'm JOHN PANOZZO DAMMIT!! !!! & Here we go making the STYX/POLICE connection again.... wow..you know why?? Because they're secretly in love... I'll tell you my nightmare of an UNplugged right now... It wasn't bad enough that Styx performed with a bad drummer & a cool orchestra, NOOO!! & absolutely destroyed one of their greatest songs EVER: Miss America....but could you imagine hearing an acoustic version of that??? Especially with this line up?? I can hear the reggae strains of Suckerman now...... AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! WAKE ME UP!!! DAMMIT!!! More nightmares...the Killers UNplugged.....AHHHHHHHHHH KILL ME NOW... or can I please WASTE THEM BEFORE IT HAPPENS????

3. GENESIS lowered the key to Turn It On Again... MASSIVELY!! If I wanted to hear Lionel Richie sing that song I'd go see him [I'm not knockin' Mr. Richie... his All Night Long has become a secret theme song for us ....]. But they displayed it ever so greatly, as they were 'honored' at the VH1 Honors. Along with Heart....[by the way seeing country outlaw Gretchen Wilson singing Barracuda with Alice In Chains [who seem to be the only band who love them & is willing to admit it]was not only amazing & exact but very scary in that they blew Heart off the stage which should NEVER have happened.....] By the way, I found out what the 'honor' is... the members all get a 'VH1 Honors Ring' . [????????????????????????????????????????????????????????]
Anyway, back to Genesis, they did 3 of their songs, one of which was Los Endos.....but did VH1 show this????? NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Apparently [this seems to be my favorite word today....] they just don't want to remind us why they were cool in the 1st place.

OH well, this will be short, unless I can think of other stupidity that went on while I was kickin' it in Can-Ada with my ladys & dude....the only thing I was upset about is not having a barrel at the Falls.....which I know there was...... but i'm so tired right now I can't think...& I think.......it's .......July already........

MAMA MIA!!!!

HAPPY BELATED MAMA'S DAY! While it does seem strange to me that I was born either a week before or on Mother's Day almost exactly , I figured it was mama's way of paying me back, but its cool. I thought I put together very cool stories about my mom & her kind of music. While she mostly loves spanish & oldies she can rock as well. Did I mention that if I EVER call her mom she'll totally beat me up???

As I get ready to go to Canada with the ladys & dude in wntdtyr, I tell my mom about it & she doesn't care. She just wonders if I'm going to suck, thsi from the same woman who thought Richard Gere was singing with Eric Crapton on this TV fundraiser years ago when in fact it was Roger Waters. Sick! but still she has her moments.

Even though we're not one's for too much metal, we seem to know who Tommy Lee is anyway since his schlong happens to be plastered everywhere & since they [his boys] weren't around for a while she wondered if he had a new band. [?] OK, I'll bite! Why? I asked, because she saw him on this show with an older lady singing?????? I'll bite again WHAT??? , then I realized [this was B4 StupidNova!] that Motley Crue had just reunited & apparently Mr. Neil had had some massive amount of surgery, [this actually might have been B4 the surgery], the point being, he was doing his usual whining when my mama thought he looked & sounded like a little old lady. Now that was funny!

Then the other night, when Bon DorkFace was on American Idiot[!], had the nerve to tell one of the ladys her singing was amazing & that he didn't even sing that way when he was her particular age. My mom lost it: 'YOU STILL CAN'T SING!!!' My best mom moment yet!

Then there was the little matter of Celebrity Duets. She loved this crap, & really liked the 'cute big blond man singing' ooh, She has to be talking about Dennis DeYoung! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! WHAT??? 'He was wearing a suit'!?????? So was Dennis! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! He had loonnnnnnnnnngggggggggggg hair & he was blond! Mercy???! Are you kidding? Who was that?? NO!!!!!!!!!!! Sebastian Bach! WHAT??? You gotta be sick!! So I had to do what any person in their right mind would've done, I showed her what he REALLY looked like & showed her SUPERGROUP!! Mission accomplished! 'I'll never look at that thing again! Done!

Then there's the Styx connection....not including the above statement. She looks at the Equinox picture & loves the man with the shirt open & mustache [mama has a thing for mustaches, yuk!], who's that? Once again, I go the only way to tell her who it is! The 'Robot Guy!' , OH eww, he loooks better with long hair, AAAAAAAAAHHHH, at this point, I want to kill myself!! Should I mention she still refuses to give me back my Kilroy Was Here Robot sport sleeve shirt, after she washed it & fell in love with the sleeves [???????]! OH, well, that's my mama.
Did I mention her favorite movie??? Yes, REMO WILLIAMS-The Adventure Begins. We absolutely love this movie, it's sick. Guess who wrote the title song! Tommy & the Cannata band, wild!

I know I have more stories & I'll add them, but for now, I'll leave you with her favorite song. She absolutely loves the video but this was all I could find...She swears that if you see the word 'Classic' in the dictionary this song will be right next to it...

I love you mama,

APRIL FOOL!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, April's come & gone,
shall I review
???
I'm not sure I know
what to talk about,
mainly since I don't remember anything since I got a good clonk in the head with a massive object. But still it's come & gone so I should say something.

This month I've been plucked, prodded, & plowed thru it like I never have. Bashed left & right from everywhere & everybody on all sides. When all I'm trying to do is get thru the day in one piece, which this month hasn't happened.

But I digress because I took initiative, laid everyone out & split to Atlantic City to see my boys Air Supply. My amazing incredible driving friend Michelle helped me escape my head-bashing & somehow I am still here to tell the story.

I was so exhausted, tired & not even able to get up for any reason. Especially since we have a huge [?] show in Can-ada- our awesome WNTDTYR are going to kick ass at. Of course, I believe this! No one else does, but that's a different story. So with all my madness with work, my head-bashing & other collective bashing, I took it upon myself to disappear & not tell anyone except of all people my mom. Who didn't care whatsoever [hee, hee- got great Mom storys which I may tell next month for good ole -mama's day.].

Anyway the day started when I still failed to have any energy. Everyone who sees me says I have nothing but energy inside me, but at home, I can't be bothered. So I'm just trying to get out of the house to fly over to Staten Island of all places [which I really dig it there] because while going to AC from my house would be an insane 4 hours, going from S.I. alone would be almost less than 2. DONE! So I'm dragging' away trying to do anything when all I wanna do is sleep when rehearsing, work & head-bashing, takes it's toll after a while.
I barely get to the Ferry since the trains are just all wack-jobs on weekends. Of course, I forget this. So it takes me forever, not only to get to the Ferry but to even find the boat since I haven't been there in so long, I decide to try to take a shorter route to the Ferry which wound up costing me a 1/2 hour more. So with more time on my hands till I get on that beautiful boat. [I think it rules!]
I decide now to leave all my problems & madness behind, the head-bashing would not be easy as I was still feeling quite woozy from the clunk & still taking the last of my bullets. [But I figured if I'm gonna go, I'm determined to do so in AC with a very huge gorgeous blond hunk! If I even faint on him it'll be better]. So after taking everything known to woman & trying to walk a straight line I finally got on the boat.

Still discovering that NY will always rule, being in that boat just made everything go away, even my head. It was very cool, as I was about to meet my partner in crime Michelle at the other end of this very cool cruise for some more ever abashed crusin' or should I say 'motorin'??? EEWWW! Got a hot dog to keep myself alive [!] which I haven't had for ages, but always seems to help in an emergency situation. Relaxed almost, finally meet my destination amid a bit of grogg....off we went in her very cool ride & an Australian GPS named Lee telling us our every move.... ooh la la!!!! [As I continue to be baffled by technology, I'm beyond amazed by this little thingy on her car, which she borrowed, but works like nothing I've ever seen]. So we catch up after months of being apart from our last encounter with the boys & life, junk, crap & listening to Graham's insane new record, after what we can't believe has already been an hour, we stop to eat at the best place in the world: Arthur Treachers! Cooly!
We get our energy back after my ordering the biggest fish & go motorin' some more....

We get to Atlantic City record time & I'm amazed as to how cool it still looks. I haven't been to AC since a very cool OLIVIA Newton-JOHN show after another insane weather/body-bashing that particular day in 1999 [which a massive storm just killed NY & we decided to try to go to AC during this, no trains or buses were working [in NY not NJ] & I found myself walking to Times Square from hell & passing out before getting on the bus & going....why do I do this to myself???]. Miss Olivia graciously paid us back by not only playing a great show & basically saving my life, but recording & filming the whole thing & called it 'One Woman's Journey'.

We get to Trump Marina who is throwing our little bash. We get the 'Trump card' [funny!] & go get into zee ballroom which is beautiful, but teeny-er than I thought. It was amazing. It holds a lot of people for it being so small.
Then they bring us drinks which is a dream! Then finally Graham comes out performing & opening solo with songs from his record. Too amazing, but we didn't like the seats much, but apparently you could move around that place & not get too busted. So we get more centered, I take some bad pictures & he is just sounding incredible as always. July was too long to wait for them to come back to NY so going to AC was a major trip. He sang about love like no one else does. Who knew. I wish you did know, it's pretty incredible.

Then Air Supply comes out & just wastes everybody. they really put on an unbelievable show. There not as boring as everyone seems to think they are. They do rock & they still rule! Then they make their way into the audience like they always do. We took great pics & somehow made our way to the front row. Apparently there are older high-roller types who acquire front-row seats & since they spend so much moolah gambling, they try to relax at a 'nice' show but 'leave' when it gets 'too noisy'[??????????????????].
I got massive shots because of this, so much so I ran out of room on my cam. Deleted as much as I could & for some reason kept snapping, don't know why, but I did. That man looks really good on camera & elsewhere. Mich isre taking great shots too. We're in heaven.

The concert ends & we go out to meet them like we always do & they always do, which is really huge of them. So they know us already & they're wonderfully receptive. Graham signs his new record for me & I'm gone!

We hang out, start making bets, spending a teeny wit of the only moolah we have & we hang out before a long drive back [to NY in which I have to go straight back to work & right away without even a stop at home for which I have no time, so I planned ahead knowing this would happen & knowing I'd only get an hour's sleep].
So we're hangin' & all of a sudden we see Graham at the bar with Adrian Zmed who not only was in Grease 2 but also appears on Graham's Heart of The Rose soundtrack. So we hung out with them, talked, too cool. Very cool people. [In my maddening of course I forgot to take a pic with Adrian-dummy!] All I'm trying to do is convince Graham to make a record with Treat Williams who he sings with occasionally in Utah & play my song 'Young Love' live, which he promised me he'd do. So that was beyond belief in itself.

A journey I'd never thought I'd make, I'd survive or even attempt, I made it thru alive & without an inch of scarring. Driving back I realized I had to go right back to my madness starting with massively early morning work the very moment we left AC, but it was all worth it, not only for the trip but to get my head back, as much as I could of it & get straight with everything else. Still a few flaws but I'm still here & I still can't believe it. Thanx to my incredible friend Michelle for the ride & the time, after she herself drove from Connecticut & kept on driving to do this & then go to her best friend's wedding... I'll never forget this .... & to Air Supply for always clearing my head & especially to Graham for understanding........

MARCHING ON....................

Outrageous! It's been a most ugly month. I'm not sure what to say. We lost a lot of cool musicians & others & it's Women's History Month. But who's celebrating???
I need to write my a bleech for this month so I decided to review how this year has gone so far. I know it's only been 3 months, but as my bud Happy Bunny & Liam Lynch say: Whatever! Liam Lynch - United States of Whatever

Add to My Profile | More Videos

1. So Van Hagar got inducted into the R'n'R Hall of Fame & Sammy went & got the award. Now all the kiddies out there will think that Van Hagar started this mess & won't even know who poor David Lee Roth is. Now that's almost as sick as Damn Yankees fans not realizing that Tommy Shaw was EVER in Styx. Now that's sick. Apparently this joke in the 70's was the very stupid 'Is it true that Paul McCartney was in the band before WINGS?' The stupidity being that yeah, Wings was actually so good that everyone forgot about the Beatles [I still don't see what was wrong with this. Once again-WHATEVER!] & for some even pathetic reason some jerk turned this joke around in this millenium [whatever!] by asking the immortal very idiotic question, was Dave Grohl in a band before the Foo Fighters. Y'all can't be this ridiculous. Another band that can be forgotten & has & this is a question? Get real !! Yes, David Lee Roth was in a band before Sammy Hagar was, but still, no one gives a crap, because there are way better bands to attend to.

2. Genesis has announced their 20 day world tour????????????????????????????????????????
And may be doing the same old set they did back in 1996. Not 1976, please make a note of this.

3. The POLICE have gotten back together & despite the massive charge for their shows it's going to be an amazing experience.

4. Heart is going to be honored at the VH1 Rock Honors along with Genesis, Ozzy Osbourne & ZZ Top.
Now what I want to know is what are they going to get? An award? A Goody Bag? I have a little problem with this because 1-Who is going to 'honor' them by messing up their songs? 2 - If it's anything like last years, they're going to do only 3 songs, which will be Crazy On You, Magic Man & Barracuda.That's fine but it'd be great to hear Mistral Wind, Rockin' Heaven Down & Break! But who knows. It's amazing to have Heart appear anywhere. It's been 20 years since 'These Dreams' went to No.1 & everyone really needs to forget that. I still wonder who's gong to 'honor' Genesis. Wouldn't it be interesting if it was Peter Gabriel?????

5. My best buddy GRAHAM RUSSELL of Air Supply has finally released a solo record.Now if I could just get him to sing 'Young Love' I could die happy.

6. Belinda Carlisle has released an ultra cool French album. Even though it's all techno almost it's pretty damn cool.

7. In a span of 1 month, I've hung out with:
Kirk & Anne Douglas, Jack Valenti, Charles Osgood, Hilary Clinton, the former Prime Minister of Israel, Mayor Ed Koch, Gene Wilder, Leonard Nimoy & Brian Stanley. & no one on this list will ever be more important as Brian Stanley! [except maybe Kirk & Anne]

8. We lost Yvonne DeCarlo, Ian Wallace, John Inman, Brad Delp, Richard Jeni, Denny Doherty, Luther Ingram & Billy Thorpe... some from illness, some by their own hand....but we'll never forget them....they were too cool to hang around....

Maybe I'll think of more silliness later. Meanwhile it's Women's History Month & you people gotta get with it & get some Birtha & Isis records & quit listening to all this crap! And once again ISIS is NOT the HORRENDOUS METAL BAND THAT IS OUT THERE WITH DUDES!!! They are a most amazing 8-PIECE LADY BAND of loons! This is the cover of their 1st album! 1974!
NEED I GO ON?????


Anyway, happy hunting for Ladys out there.............
oops, did i say that right????????

WEoRBL

GRAMMYS RULE? MAYBE!

I hope you noticed I decided to add a little color to my black bleech! I didn't want to be so bleak anymore. I do love blue. Got a little red for V-day so here we go.

The Grammys have come & gone again, before Valentine's Day no less. So my little friend Happy Bunny decided to let me use a statement that just might sum the show up completely.
You see, I've watched the Grammys ever since I can remember. I loved watching it to see all my favorites win. Before I even realized that they were 'forgetting' my other favs. Before I even realized that not a lot of my favs were ever nominated for anything. Before I realized there were more than 10 awards being given. Then I started to care about the other awards, the ones no one cared about. The awards that you didn't even know they had a catergory for, the ones they made up & took out later....Then I started to realize, they have a certain way of working. And it was going good for a while. So I started to observe this so carefully, researched it over the years, bought the book, watch every single bit of it, short of sitting thru the crap. Started to practically predict it. Stayed on it till I won every single bet & never lost. Everytime it worked. Almost.

Then the 'bad music' came took over. [Yet it's still here]. But I realized, this is exactly how Dick Clark & his American Music Awards works as well [& that's apparently voted on by real people/fans]. I thought this over very carefully. What I say may stir whatever, but who cares, it's the truth. No matter how bad the music gets, they'll always give the bad music certain accolades because they must, because ut us demanded, because it is only fair [?], but when it boils down to the big ones, the ones that count, the Awards that have the biggest impact, the ones that for some reason the 5 that everyone only cares about. They know EXACTLY who to give it to & who properly deserves it. Occasionally they've messed it up for a few years but they've gotten it right at least 80% of the time, which still gives me hope.

[Case in point. I wait & I wait every year, for the nominees. Who's gets nominated, who's not, who's going to suck, who doesn't deserve it, who I KNOW is going to win & who I KNOW is going to lose & who thinks they're going to win & who will never get nominated & I don't even vote on those ballots yet. It's sick but I do it every year. I would get it on TV, then on paper, then in a book, then clock the votes, guess 'em & do it all over again. Now thanx to this sykoyd tech, I can get it faster than I've ever gotten it in my life. I don't think it's a 'mean' thing, but it's fun as hell, especially when I turn out right! I used to watch it to see everyone I love win-now I see it to watch everyone I hate lose!]

SO the Dixie Chicks TOOK IT ALL!! AMAZING! Was there a more worthy album on the list of 5????? Now THINK!!! WORTHY!! Not favorite, not better, WORTHY! A good record, with good songs on it. A record, where EVERY track is good. Is viable? Is just a great record! Not an ok record with 1 or 2 or 3 good songs on it. Does anyone listen to albums anymore completely??? From start to finish? Do the records on that list other than that one have any song better than their actual hits on them????? GET REAL!!! That is why it is called ALBUM OF THE YEAR!! My absolute fav album wasn't on there but that record is GOOD!!! & it DESERVED it, especially with al the crap those ladys went thru you're damn right they deserved that.

Mind you, these awards lately have been completely awful 'performance-wise' over the years. Especially with the fact that no matter what they say, it wasn't completely live. There were lots of secretly layered samples floating around everyones performance lately.
The POLICE STARTED THE SHOW! & they were as amazing as they always were [no they didn't do Jennifer-damn!] Then the Dixie Chicks played. I looked at the time, there were 3 hours left to go. I KNEW it would never get better than this & that the show would suck royally. SO I made pizza & just waited to see if my ladys would get everything. it took forever & the performances were horrendous, but it was worth it because they did.

[Now I was still trying to understand the supposed 'contest' to sing on the show. Was singing with Justin Timbaland supposed to be an honour??? Performing a horrible duet with him supposed to be a prize? WE'LL SEE.]

Anyway, my only loss of the night which was just WRONG! was DAVID GILMOUR NOT getting Rock Instrumental. [Occassionally they will do something stupid like this every once in a while. Like nominating KT Tunstall for Pop vocal instead of Rock when that is what she clearly is & not nominating her for Best New Artist when she should've gotten that clearly & giving it to someone else they swear everyone will think deserves it.] But I digress!

WOLFMOTHER WON! My boys did it! They wanted it, they were there, they said they would be [they should've performed! Had they played it would've been the 3rd best performance of the nite.] & they smoked it. If you looked at who was up against them it was clearly a joke! So that was very cool. The 1st Aussies to win since MEN AT WORK. Now that's sick! I didn't realize they [the grammys] had an American thing going. But they certainly have lately. But they sort of broke it. at least they're trying.

The nicest saddest part is always when they say goodbye to the musicians we lost last year. That hurts all the time. The ones you know, the ones you don't. It's just time to try to let go. That's always brutal but cool because at least they don't forget. But they did forget a few. It's part of their stupidity.

So what am I trying to say? If you care about how this works, than this is how they work, if not, then you'll never have as much as I have had over the last 100 years yelling at my TV at their stupidity.

HAPPY NEW CRAP!!!

Yellow, yellow..yello, I'm back. I made it, yes, I'm still here. Playing drums & rockin' & idiots are still provoking me. When I should be talkin' lady stuff I gotta talk about more guy crap, but of course, this is what this bleech is for isn't it? Well here goes? Let's see who's gonna help me.

Well guess what? I've decided to make my new friend HAPPY BUNNY my representative for this entire Double-O7 year & help me out & maybe I can get thru this quick [maybe not so quick!] [Isn't he cool?]

The Rock'n'Roll Hall Of Fame has done it again. It's not bad enough that [in semi-chronological order]: that NEIL DIAMOND, CHICAGO, MOODY BLUES, YES, GENESIS, JETHRO TULL, ELP, ELO, Girlschool, Goldie & GINGERBREADS, FANNY, ISIS, BIRTHA, Styx, the RUNAWAYS & HEART & every other amazing legendary band in the world haven't gotten in even after they have passed the No.1 Rule the org has, which is you had to have 'Recorded your 1st album at least 25 years ago'. [?????????????????????????????]

BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

NOW -they have decided to skip over the DAVE CLARK 5 & go with Van Hagar! I'll let you collect yourselves for a moment............ Now, we know their voting system is somewhat wacked! We know by now they HATE Progressive Rock [& till all those voters who basically hate that music DIE, our good bands will never get in]. It's a miracle QUEEN got in. But besides them hating certain rock, they do still look at several things apparently when voting. They do actually tend to look at longevity, this was strongly defended by their president when VH was inducted & wondered why Sammy was going in with them. Longevity [this is the proper meaning of the word-Noun: longevity lón'jevitee: Duration of service!] has a few meanings, maybe only one, but it supposedly means that you've made an impact, you have a body a work, a steady body of work, that everyone around the world recognizes you & that you'll eventually last forever no matter what. OK, is this clear? Good, I'll ask again VH????????????????????????????????????? Of course, who ever the hell seems to be voting now wasn't born at all in the 70s & apparently thinks music was invented in the 90s, after VH has come & gone, but feels obligated to vote for them because they 'gotta put some old people there they just discovered'. But besides this, they genuinely seem to do a few things right. Queen is in. Fine, the KINKS are in. But according to their rules, Sammy Hagar is up BY HIMSELF!!! Yet he's going in with those loons because they couldn't keep it together long enough with DLR & they'll NEVER put Sammy in alone.

[By the way 6 degrees of Hagar, he was in a band called MONTROSE, ['74-who should be in the HoF also] before he went solo & Rick Springfield [who is also up, by the way-his 1st album came out in 1972-yes it did!] REMADE a Sammy song & basically made him famous [I've Done Everything For You] & used to be in a band with the guys from LRB [yep Little River Band] B4 he went solo around the same time a little band called KISS was getting famous & their little bassist Gene Simmons after they made their little record all those years ago [& still aren't in the HoF], discovered a little sucky band & decided to produce their demo, they were called VH & years later they kicked their cool singer out & replaced him with Hagar! Now THEY are??????????]

Anyway, I'm all for Sammy getting in alone, God knows his records alone were WAY better than anything he ever did with VH. AND NOW DLR is going to disappoint me by going back to them. [I'm writing all wishy washy here when I wanted to put this in order but bear with the Roz Bear! I'm really pissed!] They also seem to look for who is still NORMALLY together. When I say this I mean what band is still basically around with the same members & still have the right to call themselves what they named themselves in the first place when the original guys got together in the 1st place to make our lives miserable. Now for this reason a lot of really good bands aren't going in because of their stupidity, but we'll talk about that later. They also want everyone to kiss their asses. So they look to see who then CAN GET BACK TOGETHER. If they either happen to be broken up or resting [dead?] or just completely hate each other & decide to put them in, so that they can say 'Oh let's give them this award & we'll get them back together ! BUMS! In this case, it seems to be VH, because they either: 1- want to take credit for their sykoyd reunion, 2- want to get more respect from the others who HATE them, & 3- want to see the biggest fight of the century since the day Tyson ate that poor dude's ear off. Which is exactly what is going to happen. I swore [if you look at my new years bleech] that DLR would never come back without their old bassist, but apparently he is, but good for him, more reason for VH to kiss his cute butt. BUT that bassist has to get his award, so he's gotta go & so does Sammy, & so does everybody else in that sucky band. SO if they all go, who's gonna sing? Even Sammy is afraid to go, but he is & somehow he's happy. Sick.

Let's fly back to 1993, Creedence Clearwater Revival. They got inducted. THEY HAD HUGE PROBLEMS. THEY ALL HATED EACH OTHER. Not only that, there were 2 brothers in that band-related!!! For real! Apparently their manager sucked out all their moolah & is now a huge-mondo mega-money grubbing old movie producer dude & John Fogerty, who wrote EVERYTHING didn't get ANYTHING. BUT there's still the 2 guys who were left [since John's brother passed before he could get his award-which sucks] no matter how, no matter what, if John showed them evy note & hit, they WERE the bassist & the drummer. They did play on those songs so naturally they should get the award & they did. BUT when it came to reunion time to play. Fogerty SWORE to EVERYBODY he would not play with THEM! Fine. But they had to play 'THE SONG' Fogerty said NO. FINE. SO the band didn't play, but not b4 the HoF dudes joined in. In this case, it being the amazing Robbie Robertson [who is in charge of the band situation at the induction & who's band at the show is always led by the World's Most Suckyist Band Leader -Paul Shaffer, so that should also tell you something about the HoF]. Robbie proceeded to ask or tell John [without talking to any of the other poor guys-even though John swears they screwed him over all those years ago] that if he didn't go & sing Proud Mary [which John wrote kiddies!] that everyone would think that song belonged to Tina Turner, which was true. Of course, John LOST IT! & he played it BUT with the World's Most Suckyist Band, not his CCR boys. Those guys were in the audience & walked out & felt horrible. So that's the HoF legacy for you. The HoF also has an obligation to the public to Service & tell everyone & all the little kids growing up now about good old rock'n'roll. Now at this, they are sucking goats!. They're supposed to be displaying ALL of R'n'R but are delibrately leaving out progressive rock because apparently it has no value to them. Of course this isn't their excuse. We haven't the room??????????? Yeah right. Then their leaving it to 7 choices a year which I believe is now down to 5. I lost count because they are insane. Now these kids are going to see this & think this is r'n'r, at least Queen & Pink Floyd & are in. For now, that's enough. But who knows when they'll get with it. I do want to get in. I want a Grammy, it's important. Some look at this & go WOW. It is important. It was important once. [Especially in 1984 when Yes beat Genesis in the Rock Instrumental category for Cinema!] But who knows. They still haven't put any relevant female bands in [not females-big diff]. BONNIE RAITT was huge. But take Patti Smith who IS getting in, but BY HERSELF, not with her GROUP-the Patti Smith Group, which she started with.

I wonder who's band I have to break up, join, go solo, reunite with, take 10 years off, form a new group & sue them, hate their guts & get them nominated to receive this honor???????????

I bring this up because some loon on another wacko group mentioned that the Go-Go's would get in the Hall of Fame before Styx ever did. Now this offended me & should offend everyone else too. Now if I were voting in there now & had the power I WOULD put the ladys before Styx, you want to know why?
1st of all: I love the Go-Go's so BACK OFF! They still kick major ass. 2nd: they haven't had 800 members go in & out of the band & others go out with the name when there are only 2 left. 3-Lady bands so far have had the decency to either completely break up or completely get back together & keep their legacys in tact without too much bitchin' & you know we can, better than you dorks. But apparently you dorks can fight better than we can because all your crap is still everywhere! So R'N'RHoF-
I WILL SEE YOU THERE, EVENTUALLY!

GOODBYE 2006..PART 2-TOP 10-QUICKIE...

I forgot was my Best Albums of the Year list. That's why Happy here is so sad! I can't believe Xmas is gone. So here's goes Happy!

Well first of all, this had to be the WORST YEAR FOR MUSIC YET! Rolling Stone released their ultra-suck list but they kept them to 50. Which is hilarious since it's amazing they even found 50 [It used to be 100 you know- it's incredible they even found 100 songs, which is a JOKE!]. I'll tell you this, I'm amazed I FOUND 10!!!!!!!!!!!!! The reality is shows have become better than records lately:

Best Shows:
1. ASIA 25th-Nokia, Oyster
2. GO-GO'S 25th-Nokia
3. RINGO * & SHEILA E.-Radio City
4. LISA MARIE PRESLEY-BB King's
5. DENNIS DEYOUNG-NJ
6. AIR SUPPLY-BB Kings/St. George
7. QUEEN & Paul RODGERS-Nassau
8. WNTDTYR-Alphabet Lounge
9. BREAKERBOX-Continental
10. IAN GILLAN- Ethical Culture

[Sad sidenote: The only reason that David Gilmour & Roger Waters weren't on this list is because I MISSED IT! ]

But here it goes & I will leave you with the BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR to listen to, Because RS seems to have forgotten this record BECAUSE THEY'RE STUPID!
It's not on their list AT ALL, they officially SUCK NOW! & I DARE YOU to tell me that these shouldn't be here! I don't need to explain any of these!

1. ON AN ISLAND-DAVID GILMOUR [brilliant & mellow]
2. EYE TO THE TELESCOPE-KT TUNSTALL [genius new lady]
3. WOLFMOTHER-WOLFMOTHER [I love the title it says it all]
4. XXX-CHICAGO [yeah, that's right 30!]
5. TAKING THE LONG WAY-DIXIE CHICKS [tremendous]
6. FROM THIS MOMENT ON-DIANA KRALL [too cool]
7. PRETTY LITTLE STRANGER-JOAN OSBORNE [not fair since it came out in Nov. but it took that long for anything else to come out this good this year]
8. TURN AROUND-JONNY LANG [he's just sick!]
9. UNDER THE COVERS VOL.1-MATTHEW SWEET & SUSANNA HOFFS [this was very well done]
10. BLACK CADILLAC-ROSANNE CASH [I met her]
11. THIS OLD ROAD-KRIS KRISTOFFERSON [ok, so I found 11- who cares!]

I bet y'all didn't even hear these, or didn't know they were out. Well now's your chance to get with it loons! I'll tell you what the

No. 1 song of the year was, since it just came out & since I missed it, it's............
RICK WRIGHT's version of ARNOLD LAYNE [not Bowie's], which is beautiful & for SYD!! THERE!
No. 2-ROGER WATERS version of HAVE A CIGAR!
No. 3: Actually it's WOLFMOTHER's version of COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN! Wolfmother has managed to do something I never thought would happen, make me like a Led Zep song!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
luv, WIZARD EARL OF ROZZIE BEARLAND!!!!!!!!!!

GOODBYE 2006.......YOU SUCKED!

WOW, it's DECEMBER? Did we eat Thanksgiving?? Well, HAPPY THANKSGIVING LOONS! MERRY XMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Damn, this is going by too fast & too top it off a lot of crap has happened.
Well, where should I start, I don't think I've done this before & I wonder why I didn't but if I forgotten anything before I will put it on here today. Anyway, I thought I'd end my Blecch of the year with my Bleech of the Year! 2006-ALL THE CRAP THAT HAPPENED!! & good old HAPPY is going to help me with this one, isn't he cutesy??????

Let's see, where do I start my goodness? Was this a good year or not? For music? for whatever? Is it getting worse? I don't see it getting better, such little things are making that happen... but why not.. let's talk about it...There were so many sucky things that happened I don't know where to start.. maybe I'll start with the Ok things & the not so bad cool things that actually made this a good year..

1. STEVE MILLER -FELT he needed to explain why he is a GENIUS! No need darling..we know! & remastered FLY LIKE AN EAGLE!!! WOW!

2. ASIA GOT BACK TOGETHER!!! ASIA! ASIA! ASIA! ASIA!! Maybe Steve Howe will stay where he belongs!!!

3. the GO-GO'S CELEBRATED THEIR 25TH ANNIVERSARY!!! Before ASIA? Am I that old??

4. PINK FLOYD GOT BACK TOGETHER SEPARATELY IN HALVES !! DAVE & RICKY; ROGER & NICKY. All this after Roger insisted that he'd married Rick in a private ceremony in Rome last year....cool! Plus, that Ricky could sing & he sang for & sounds just like Syd how amazing, spooky & beautiful is that?

5. WEIRD AL IS THE MASTER! But everyone knows that too...

6. THE TUBE a new beautiful music channel has emirged greatly. Although they play a pinch of bad stuff, it's ok.

7. ROGER WATERS Finally insisted on singing Have A Cigar!! What the hell took you so long?????

8. WOLFMOTHER IS AMAZING! & Mike Patton is an idiot!! [see below!]The 2nd greatest band to come out of anywhere in the last 20 years..that's a miracle & a 1/2. [The 1st was Collective Soul by the way, & yes every other band [I should say every MALE band] since then or since the 90s started has sucked!

9. Michelle Branch lost her mind & not only told her fans to screw it if they didn't like her new band the WRECKERS...who did pretty damn good, but also said she didn't want to make that awful Santana record but was forced to.... That was cool, good for you Michelle for deciding to make better music....[I dare you to ask her to play that song with the Wreckers see what she says....]

10. I found out that the RUSSIAN translation for the word 'drummer' in english is 'IMPACT'!! it's confusing but THAT'S FREAKIN' COOL!:
ANJ: GTR ; SUKI: BASS ;
WIZARD OF ROZ: IMPACT Nice!

11. I got to hang out TWICE with IAN GILLAN & GRAHAM RUSSELL! Talk about a difference between 2 hunks! WOW! & to top it off Graham's doing a solo record! FINALLY!! & Ian wants me to sit thru Deep Purple next year[?] when he comes back with them. [Now that may be a problem but for him -anything!] I also got to hang out with cool crazy Lewis Black!


12. DICK CLARK & KEITH RICHARDS! & RUSH!
INDESTRUCTABLE!!!!

13. SHEILA E. PLAYED FRANKENSTEIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SAY??????????????????????

NOW THE ULTRA SUCK LIST!! Can we agree on this please???? Not in any particular order, but they should be, you decide because I can't!!!

1. JEWEL HAS COMPLETELY LOST HER MIND!!! What can I say about her new record? I cannot figure it out...she's lost it..

2. BON DORKFACE got into the UK HALL OF FAME??? Are you kidding me? Does this mean they're fat & old their career is over?? We can only pray!!

3. JY & Tommy Shaw still insist on calling themselves Styx... mercy........

4. Idiots are breaking on the DIXIE CHICKS again so they made this great movie about it- SHUT UP & SING!! Why are we in this country again???

5. Jerry Lee Lewis, Tony Bennett, who are still alive & Ray Charles who is gone, all recorded useless duets with artists who desperately need to be cool.... WHAT THE HELL??????????????????? and SANTANA AGAIN??? he doesn't even sing? why is still doing duets?? HELLO???? NOW they've decided to drag poor psycho [oops:psychic?!] lady DIONNE WARWICK into this. She's done enough duets in her career-GOOD ONES I MIGHT ADD!! She doesn't need anymore!

6. KISS decided to tell KITTIE the lady metal band that they couldn't name their record company Kiss of Infamy... like anybody cares about their fat asses anymore!

7. JOURNEY & FOREIGNER [who also insist on calling themeselves that!] BOTH REPLACED THEIR FAKE SINGERS WITH 2 DIFFERENT FAKE SINGERS BECAUSE NONE OF THEM CAN SING!! SO THEY GOT OTHER GUYS WHO COULDN'T SING EITHER & THEY GOT SICK TOO! ?????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????? Yeah ,sick of being fake!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
There's a point to this, do you think they'll ever figure it out?????

8. GOWAN & RICKY PHIILLIPS ARE THE BEST THINGS IN STYX NOW! ??????? Isn't that the GOWAN band?

9. Mike Patton [formerly [????] of that horrendous Faith NoMORE band, who are 'no more' thank GOD!]apparently absolutely hates Wolfmother, on which he states on a infamous YouTube video, while being asked what is he up to these days on something someone had the gall to call Icons.....
The nerve of a man who has never made an inkling of good music in his life nor will he ever, should have no right to speak of an actual good band! At one point in the tirade he actually utters the words 'what year are we in?' So who does he want them to sound like? Him??? Jerk!

10. Eddie Trunk -Metal-idiot galore-had the nerve to say that HEART shouldn't be in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame yet because they didn't make an IMPACT in the music industry!! ????????????????????????????????????????????????????
How's about I make an IMPACT [see above] on your ass???? BUM!! Oh, he did insist that Van Halen & Kiss should, or yet better! get in the R'N'R HoF BEFORE : CHICAGO, YES, GENESIS, ELP, MOODY BLUES, NEIL DIAMOND & every other rocker with talent that's not in there yet, because they deserve it. yeah, right....

11. the Killers just suck! & Rod Stewart insisted that Bread was rock! NO!!

12. Genesis got back together & are apparently going to do the same set they did in 1996. And possibly lower the key to I Can't Dance 20 octaves more! They insist!-out of their mouths!-that this is what the 'fans' want. [Fortunately they won't put us out of our misery till Sep 2007????]
THE TRUTH: Do you really want to know the one song the fans want to hear?? The biggest song that Brits have been asking for forever from them?? [that they are speaking of!] Believe it or not is: FOLLOW YOU FOLLOW ME!! WHICH THEY'VE NEVER DONE!!& you can bet that they will not do that. SO no Phil, Tony, Mike, that is not what the fans want.....

13. Everybody in Hollywood got divorced because they haven't a clue what a marriage is anymore!
& those who haven't gotten divorced yet-those ladies just don't seem to know what jerks their husbands are going to be soon.

14. The GRAMMYS were announced: ??????????? Where do I start?
All I know is that DAVID GILMOUR is up for Rock Instrumental when he should've been up for Album of The Year.. But he better win that...& if the DIXIE CHICKS don't get everything after all they've been through then this country really does SUCK now! & Wolfmother has to take that one home!
AND once again the Grannys can't seem to nominate any female rockers in to their own freakin' categories so they squeezed it into what they call the crappy Rock Solo Performance, which are full of dumb guys, like that means anything. Assholes! They couldn't nominate Lisa Marie Presley, Beth Hart, KT Tunstall or all who had amazing songs out this year, NO!
These ladies aren't good enough & the ones who are are all pop. ? Where did that come from?

15. The beautiful & gorgeous DENNIS DEYOUNG who's written claasy songs about classy LADYs all his life went & sang that particular song to a bunch of whores! [ok some not all!] All who, for some reason were all dressed like 'MISS AMERICA'??? Of course, it wasn't his fault, but were they trying to say something????????

16. I got a myspace page &
I got hacked ..........EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!

17. I wasted 13 weeks of my life [actually 8] watching RockStar: Stupidnova with a horrendous back-up band who actually had decent Lady singers & one amazing power in DILANA, for them to pick a dork who no one could understand one word of his singing, if that's what you called it....for that- they sold 17,000 copies of their new record....

18. We lost some good drummers this year....
SANDY WEST,
PIP PYLE
Dave Mount-MUD,
Fred Marsden-GERRY & PACEMAKERS, Bruce Gary-The KNACK

while BAD ONES are still alive & making our lives miserable!!!

19. We lost SYD BARRETT! That's just wrong!

20. Van Halen has decided to put his little baby-Valerie Bertinelli's son, in VH as their new bassist.. which is actually a good thing [keep it in the family ok, I get it.. unlike some people....] ....he has also swallowed his crap & also decided to take back good 'ole David Lee Roth, which is sort of also a good thing.... what's bad about this??? [Even though I've made no inkling that I'm a VH fan but a serious DLR person....I have been a huge fan of the fight!] but the bad thing is, I can tell you now, with a great amount of knowledge of how these loonys work, that DLR will in NO WAY go back to them UNLESS [here's the bad part] the old bassist returns..... EEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!



Now here come my wishes for the
NU YEAR! Should I even attempt this.....

1. I WISH...... Bondork face would retire &put us all of us out of our misery.....apparently 100,000,000 Bon Dork-vi Fans CAN Be Wrong!!!

2. I WISH......STEVE HOWE would forget about YES & stay in ASIA!!

3. I WISH......More crazy chicks like Michelle Branch would lose their minds & figure out what music really is about-or put us all out of our misery & just stop! [i.e.: Nelly F, Gwen, Janet, ...., etc...
3 1/2. I WISH.....Gwen Stefani will NOT release her new record....

4. I WISH......all these so-called 'hunks'[UGH!! BLEECH!! YUK!! throw-up, whatever!] PITT, CRUISE, LAW would just go away!! & make room for REAL MEN!

5. I WISH..... TREVOR RABIN would stop making soundtracks for a second & go back to YES!!!

6. I WISH.....QUEEN would make SOLO ALBUMS!!! That would be AMAZING! or that JOHN DEACON would go back to them. They need him desperately!!

7. I WISH.....STEVE HACKETT would beat some sense into GENESIS & tell them to make the music they should be making!

8. I WISH.....JY & Tommy would stop trying to be STYX.....

9. I WISH.....ANIMAL & DR. TEETH & the ELECTRIC MAYHEM would make a comeback!!! They'll blow everyone away & we won't even need to be any other bands!

10. I WISH.....these bands would do away with their very bad drummers: HEART, CHICAGO, STYX...do I have to go on?????

11. I WISH.....every band would stop playing their songs slow as if they are about to fall asleep!!!! the ROLLING STONES still play their songs at TOP SPEED!! or proper speed, not like ballads!! & they're 100 years old! SO QUIT IT!!!! Even WILLIE NELSON still plays his songs properly!

12. I WISH..... my girls would kick ass next year: QRT!!!!!

13. I WISH.....I wish PINK FLOYD would put their 1/2's back together.....

14. I WISH.....that VH1's next DIVAS show would have real singers like BONNIE TYLER, KIM CARNES, BETH HART, SASS JORDAN, BONNIE & BEKKA BRAMLETT, & GRACE SLICK & have killer tributes to LAURA BRANIGAN & WENDY O.WILLIAMS & RUBY STARR !!! Now that's a dream show!!!

& that I had a new TV....

15. I WISH.....more Ladys would put down the acoustic guitar & the drum machines & play something real!

I know I should wish for better stuff but it'll take up more pages....so I'm done for this year...but I bet something stupid will happen before this year is done & if it's interesting enough I'll put it down...if not, I'm off to get me some DICK [CLARK that is on New Years Rockin' Eve!!]

HAPPY HAPPY
luv, ROZZIE BEAR........................
