MAY....HEY....BEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!

It's May. My month! Yes, I'm a Taurus, yes I had a birthday & it's boring one [not as exciting as it'll be next year] but it's ok. I did have a blast got almost everything I wanted, may-be!. I went to my favorite restaurant with the love of my life, I got to bet on the Kentucky Derby, even though I lost & the Yanks started to go crazy & all of a sudden, I started to think of all the things I've missed & been missing [is that the same thing?]. I missed a few good shows, but then a few other good shows are coming up. I miss real rotary phones [I don't have a cell phone & will never get one ], real typerwriters [the way I always used to pronounce it], real TV, instead of this fake crap, also real tube TVs [they were much cheaper,kids!] real magazines, [which don't seem to exist anymore, they've apparently shrunk-by the way, how is it that the TV Guide got larger & Rolling Stone got smaller??? syk!]. I miss real mail, even though I still get crap somehow, real cameras, cassettes & vhs which I still have. I miss Crystal Pepsi, which was fantastic, who knows what they've done to it now. I miss real jamming, which isn't happening much anymore with all the good rock clubs closing.
I miss real musicians, which there doesn't seem to be a whole lot left. I miss real bands, who are all completely unreal now. I miss going to an arcades, which are completely gone with the exception of a casino [???].

There are alot of things I miss, that have passed me by but still seem to be around. Real newsmen & women, even though I never watched the news [now they all look like Betty dolls!], just people you knew were there even if you missed them. I missed real sports & real announcers, which voices of men that would make you shiver!! I was a sports girl, always was, not basketball or football, but any kind of racing & ball, may-be even a little tennis, especially when crazy John McEnroe [who's married to cooly Miss Scandal: Patty Smyth now] was always pissed off. I missed real baseball, real players who cared about the game & nothing else. Even the Olympics used to be fun to watch [now they're a damn sideshow!], then the steroids & the money grubbers started taking over not just for that but every sport, especially baseball, so I stopped watching, listening, caring, sort of.....

Then something strange & weird happened. They closed Yankee Stadium & opened a new one. Suddenly I wanted to care again, except I didn't know about who or why, but I did. Mostly for the memories, I got to go to the old stadium before they shut it down. Now it's still up but waiting demolition. But there's a new one up & it's actually very beautiful. Since I never went to the old 'older' stadium before they fixed it into 'my' stadium, it's actually kind of cool to see this one look like the old one I never went to before it's old face lift. Confusing?? I started going to Yankee Stadium in the 80s I guess. [weird thing to say....from what I remember]. I love the Yankees, always have , but I got sick of them, because they made it sickening, I'm not even sure I remember why. Maybe the strike in 1994, the year there was no World Series whatsoever, maybe these steroid filled bums thinking they can play baseball with a straight face & call themselves players. I don't remember at all.

I do remember going to Old Timer's Day whenever possible. I don't remember the last time I cared about them winning.
I remember the Yankees winning the World Series against the Mets in 2000. I remember going to Shea [which is also unfortunately gone now too...] to buy goodies from them because I didn't want to forget the only time that possibly could've ever happened. Before & after that everything was a blur. Yet this year I wanted to care, I tried. They still had some Yanks I wasn't interested in but there was something about the new place I need to see & be there for. It began last year & I went on the only day I go, Old Timer's Day. It was a blast like always. I miss the old no-hitters, perfect games that happened in the 90s & '00's, but I always got reports from my uncle & mom. Did they win??? Yes! ok....next day...did they win??? No!. oh ok....next month... Did they make the playoffs??? Yeah! are they in the World Series?? NO! What???????? Since when??? Since 2000??? No way?? They lost one to the Red Sox?? Nah, not my Yankees. Those aren't my classic Yanks. I used to name all the Yanks, now I hardly knew who they were.

I did see the game Dave Righetti pitched a no-hitter, I saw Jim Abbott's no hitter, I saw Aaron Boone's crazy last inning home-run, in between, I didn't care. Yet I started slowly coming back, but I heard stupidity: Red Sox were joining the Yanks, ugh!, they're trading good players, they're buying idiots who aren't doing anything, the manager is sleeping, they haven't been kickin' it. Big-deal, are they winning? OK, are they still fighting?? Looks like! Then the YES Network. In my world, the Yes network meant I thought I'd be watching the progressive band Yes for 24 hours a day, which probably would have been so bad, if they were still in the 80s. Even if they were still together, my Yes!, wow, they got a channel? Cool!
But nah, that's not my Yes, not the Cinema Yes!!No way! Not my 90125 Yes or Drama Yes. The Yankees Yes??? Does that make any sense???

So the Yes Network comes & starts showing not only the new games but the old games as well. Wow. Even games I was at, games I never saw, games I couldn't believe I missed. Will it make me like the Yanks again, may-be! I didn't like the 'new' ['new' meaning 90s & 00s Yanks] Yanks & had no idea how loyal they were. Still I saw some good stuff, cut to 2008, they close MY stadium? No way? Not my stadium! Then MLB Network! AHHHHHHH!

I see they bought new players, who are going to bring the Yanks back. From what? THESE ARE THE YANKS!!!! They didn't even make the playoffs, but I wound up watching those games anyway. Then I realized what I was missing.
I missed Lou Pinella & Bobby Murcer. I missed MY old Yankees, cute Gene Michael, Bucky Dent, Graig Nettles & crazy Billy Martin, kicking dirt onto the umpire's pants. I missed the fun I used to have screaming at these lunatics to win. I missed my uncle taking me to the games. I missed him taking me to Old Timer's day & telling me about all the Old Timer's he remembered & I never knew. I missed him telling me how cool Tom Tresh was & Mel Stottlemyer was the best ever. I missed asking who's that? in the old timers intros & he'd instantly knew who they were, their number what they did & when he saw them. Amazing. I missed the old sports days of baseball crazy fun. I totally miss my Uncle more than anything! Everything I knew up until then was gone & nothing was the same.

Yet now I seem to be having almost as much fun as I did back then. I'm fighting with my best friend about which Yankees are real! I'm watching the games like there's no tomorrow. These new 'Newer' Yanks are the coolest ever, especially one called AJ Burnett, who happens to be my nu favorite! He looks so crazy & psycho & is totally making them fight & fun again, like they used to be. Something I thought was missing for a very long time. So everything is new again, in not such a bad way. For years I hated everything new & it was never for any good. But now the Yankees are back & more exciting than ever & there's a part of me which I thought I lost that I think is now back too & I like it. Except my stadium is almost gone & like I said before, maybe my uncle wants it for himself, so I'll give him that.

DOUBLE BLEECH!!...APRIL DORKS!!. MARCH MADNESS???........


March came & went, not without incident. But for this month's Double Bleech, I decided to start with April since it's here already. Finally, Easter was on time, still a bit early but just as well. More confusion, more 'setting the clock back' stupidity & messing with Mama Nature [who's getting really pissed already!, especially since it's her BEarth Day!!! ], just craziness. Baseball was back in the form of the World Baseball Classic which was the craziest thing I'd ever seen in my life [in March] & I love baseball & 2 new stadiums opened in NY [& everywhere else...but who cares! I'm a NYker!!] in April. Trying to get in there was probably the harder than travelling to the World Classic itself. Ticketscummers are crawling in their spew just hoping to take us down with them & losing which is a good thing to find out that we're just not going to take their crap anymore. And despite it being unusually quiet, Happy Bunny has given me the greatest Easter of my life!!! < style="font-weight: bold;">John Cougar [ I will never call him Mellencrap, its too easy!!!]. Still the gods of TV have decided to completely annoy us more with a show based on what 'they' call [who??? dammit because they need to be shot!!] an older woman looking to date a kid!!! That in itself is a double bleech for me. OK, so maybe I'm near that age [although I'm not quite sure what their cut-off cougar date is but I don't really want to for any reason], but never have I ever, nor will I ever want or aspire to be even seen near a child unless it is under 5 years old & in no way will I want to date it [& you cougars will realize they are only 5 years old anyway...]!!!!

The ladys are out, they are free, they're independent & can see & choose whom they want. Fine. But mercy! How young do you want to go? Mind you, I will never watch this show & I don't even want to know, but if there isn't a kid over 25, there is no point. Don't you ladys realize men don't become men till at least 40 & don't even get brains till maybe 35 & I'm trying to being nice, which is not my best trait & is not what this bleech is for. 1st of all, ladys, do you really want to be teachers? I don't. I only do in music, nothing else. If you have to mold your little boy into shape fine, but its not a sport I feel like taking on. I'm sure it'll be massively fun for you, then when you hit the age they realize they will be disturbed by no matter how hot you look, they will take their education
elsewhere, if need be. There is a reason we're not all still in kindergarden. [Ugh, the thought....bleech, bleech....bleech..]

2nd: If you want a serious relationship & are truly looking for a mature kid [do those 2 words even go together?], Good luck! I have nothing to say about that. I have yet to meet a mature kid, except maybe hackers. But then that's is so what I'm not looking for [in their language]. 3rd: Language!!! OK maybe he'll make you feel young, but do you reallly want to listen to High School Musical for the rest of your life?????????? Will that be a 'Classic' in 20 years? Can you share that while walking him home from the prom? You'll start talking that way & Twittering, ugh! Do you realize this is illegal in some states??????????? I guess not anymore....I'd up the age limit on that! If you're not careful you'll wind up with someone like Matthew McConauhey & he's not even 40 yet
, get my drift [loon]!

Ladys, Cougars, whatever the hell you call yourselves. There are as of this writing, amazing available much more mature men than you realize. If you think this may be your last resort. Please reconsider. Mel Gibson is getting divorced. Hello??? He's gorgeous, older & psycho, what more could you want??? Harrison Ford! He's still not married, so there still may be a chance [besides, how can he possibly find that girl he's with now when she's so t
iny?] Alan Rickman, Bill Nighy, need I go on???? Men are where it's at. Real men!!! Believe me they still have something left!

Crazy controversial topic I know [big deal!], but it's funny. If you cougars want to be draggin your boy toy around by a leash watvhing American Idol, that's ok, I need a little more action in my life.

MARCH MADNESS......

March is Women's History Month & they did it again. With the announcement that little Dakota Fanning will be playing wet & wild Cherie Currie in the new movie about the female rock band the Runaways.

OK, so I guess the premise is that she is the right age for the role, since Cherie herself was 16 when they hit. Yet we have yet to see this little actress really show herself. Dakota has done amazing things & she seems to have the talent to play this role. This may be a very challenging since she is going to have to 'do mounds of cocaine', 'sing', 'sleep with almost everyone in sight' & 'get clean' all tasks for Oscar actresses. Depending if the writers of the movie get this right.

Miss 'Twilight' is going to play Joan Jett. We have no idea who they will get for Lita Ford, Jackie Fox & the great powerhouse Sandy West. Yet let's make this clear. The movie is about & based on Cherie's book 'Neon Angels' so basically it's about her & not just the Runaways. But I'm putting my votes in for who I'd like to see play the rest of the 3 since it hasn't been announced & since age may be a factor, all of a sudden [remember kiddies: Olivia Newton John was 30 years old when she played 16 year old Sandy Olsen]

Yes, I'm going to say it. I want Miley Cyrus & Hilary Duff to play Lita Ford & Sandy West. Either Or!!!!!! They're both blonde, young, & wanna be crazy. I'm actually casting Miley to be Sandy since she's a giant. It could be the out she's looking for, since we all know she wants to be crazy. Who knows how Dakota will take on Cherie, but Lita & Sandy? That would be insane & quite fun.

I'd like to see Eliza Dushku or Mena Suvari for Jackie. I don't care how old they are. They both should be Joan Jett as well. But that's already gone. it would be an interesting cast. I think Malcolm McDowell should play scumbag Kim Fowley. he's sort of a dead ringer & would be quite scary. I just can't imagine how crazy this movie will be but I can't wait. Should we cast the GO-GO'S movie yet??? [this was supposed to happen already but no one knows what happened to that].
I would also hope they put a good REAL band together for this & that these girls make the effort to learn their instruments instead of just play-synching. But that is just a dream isn't it???? This is my only hope!!!

That really wasn't the big March story but it is interesting. Movies aren't what they used to be. Yet what they're doing now is outrageous. Let's hope we get more good rock movies. This one takes the cake!!

see ya in May-Maybe......

UP YOUR DATE!

How was everyone's Valentine? We know not everyone had a good one now don't we. How amazing that everyone seems to think some people will change & become all nice because we have someone new in that White House. Now when we'd all like to believe that's true, some of us know that something's are forever going to stay the same. We unfortunately know the real truth & is some things will just never change unless viciously provoked. You never know.

That brings me to my bleech topic today. There are things still enormously popular these days besides being increasingly annoying. Who knows why. Yet until the president decides to outlaw these things, everything that is out there, which is entertainingly bad will continue to delight an audience by whom we'll never quite understand is coming from.
Which brings me to 2 of the most enjoyed subjects as of late: copycatting & over hyping!

Also, when did February suddenly get popular? Wasn't this thought of as a boring month as well especially since it's so short? Well, I guess not, now it's awards month. Everything crazy that could've happened for the entire year to be talked about next year, happened all in this month. Recap:

Seems that Miss [or Ms. whatever] Britney has a dirty new song some idiots can't figure out, So she decides to cover it up by making a goody-goody video of herself being a normal housewife...[????]. Just so that we're clear & if anyone cares, this has been done before. There are apparently not one but 2 songs by actual rock bands called If You Seek Amy [actually if you want to get technical: If You See Kay Tonight-Brewers Droop-1972; If You See Kay-April Wine-1982. Who knows if it's supposed to mean the same thing. If it does so what?] [I know there's more especially with the same exact title, but my brain is drowning in crap right now to remember...]
What bugs me is the video. It's almost a clone Lita Ford's
Gotta Let Go
video, which has heavy metal guitar lady Lita
[wearing the coolest leather outfit ever! actually the one in Out For Blood is even better! you got nothing on her Brit-screw your red plastic outfit!] being a housewife [hilarious]. So did she rip off 2 classic rock bands that no one cares about? Did she use this little 4 words [or letters...] to make her big comeback? It's been done but of course no one has seen anything like this before & they're so freaked. So this is what brought her back, maybe she'll go away quicker.

Octo-bore mom. Why do we care about this woman. Why do we care about her kids? There are a million mothers who have 10,000 children in Harlem that no one gives a crap about. Can we get off of this one already?

Can I ask who can swim massively while on weed???
& who can do anything while on steroids? Need I say more?
Haven't we been here before??

Now Paula Abdul not only has someone trying to out annoy her [the awful Platinum Weird annoying co-judge-yep that was her, yuk!], she has the unmitigated gall to tell an Osmond how he should sing. This has to be by far the funniest thing ever. Imagine my shock at not only seeing an Osmond on that show, but having her tell him he should think about how to sing solo as opposed to harmonizing as he's used to with his family.??????? EXCUSE ME?????????? 1st of all HE'S AN OSMOND! THEY GROW ON TREES IN UTAH! SINGING IS IN THEIR DNA! This has happened before when she swears she could tell someone how to sing when she doesn't squeal herself.
I don't care if you're not an Osmond fan, those kids can sing almost better than anyone & Ms. Abdul is going to tell them how it's done? I don't think so. That poor kid. What was he doing up there anyway? HE'S AN OSMOND!! He must've wanted to see how bad singers live. He doesn't have to worry, especially since he got kicked out by the 2nd show, which was pathetic, because he probably was the only real singer they'll ever have. Good for him, he didn't have to put up with any idle embarrassment.

Wow, I've never seen a more action-packed depressing Grammys in my life. Of course, Robert Plant was going to win [which was amazing]. Of course Alison Krauss was going to tie the most wins. Of course, everyone who won was dead. Of course, this has happened before when they give the big awards to artists which actual talent! Of course Al Green was going to be perfect going on at the last minute. Of course, dorkhead Timberlake was going to try to out sing Al Green, which of course was a joke [if I were Al I would've pounded on that kid till he kept quiet for messing up his song!] Hello, he's a Reverend 1st of all! He could preach to a church at the last minute & it would be the most amazing thing you'll ever hear in your life. Of course Chris Brown was going to beat up Rhianna, who didn't see that coming, like not having them on the show was such a big loss.

OK, so Peter Gabriel didn't win an Oscar for his awesome Down To Earth song from my personal favorite movie of last year Wall-E . Yet you're still going to tell him he can only sing his song for 65 seconds?? PETER GABRIEL ?? 65 seconds??? Did they know he used to be in Genesis??
A band who doen't even know the meaning of what 65 seconds is supposed to be. It was a miracle if any of their songs were 65 minutes. And as with all legendary classic true artists, what did Peter do? He told them !@#$%^&*(! & he wouldn't play. That's the spirit!! You really are a true legend Peter! Too bad he had to see his song butchered by a bad Legend.
Yes, this has happened before to Phil Collins believe it or not. When he lost the Oscar he should've gotten for Against All Odds [Take A Look At Me Now] in 1984. Not only did they not let him perform the song at all [they didn't even offer 65 seconds], they had a performance dance to the entire song sung by someone else : Ann Reinking [who was incredible in All That Jazz but not that night!] who had absolutely nothing to do with that film whatsoever. Buncha weirdos!

So the Wurm does turn [get it? Starship Trooper? Part 3?]. Yes I know. Keep the letters coming. I don't care, it's what I want.
Recap: Yes singer Jon Anderson becomes so horribly ill he can't tour. What does the band do? Get another singer from a tribute band & forget about him, fine. Then what happens?
Band cancels tour because bassist becomes ill. Well? Where the tribute replacement for Chris Squire huh?? It should happen but never will. He's the one guy you can't replace or won't let be replaced..... Ask Jon himself, He tried it on ABWH in 1989. It wasn't Yes, he couldn't use the name but he needed a bass & got jazz great Jeff Berlin. Yes, Jeff is one of the greatest bassists in the world, but he's no Chris. WOW, who won this?

Yes the past comes back to haunt one doesn't it. Pretty sick don't you think? I'm impressed though. Have we learned anything from this? Of course not. No one seems to care about the past anymore but once it happens again, we say oh I remember that. Deja vu? Copycat? Over hyped? Whatever! And you wish you were back when no one was whining about bad singers & having to put up with the most annoying celebrity on TV every second. Oh wait, that's still happening isn't it? When will we ever learn?

until next time..........Rozzzzie............

SHOCKERS ALREADY??? NO!

Happy New Year kiddies. Gee, the year has hardly started & the month is barely over yet so much has gone on already, it's hard to believe. A month where nothing usually happens it seem January is taking back it's crown!! No longer will January be the boring month where nothing gets done & it's the 'after holiday wind down'. NOPE! Jan seems to be kicking ass & not just because of a new prez, but because Jan isn't going to put up with being a wussy little month anymore. The egos have been flying & it takes just these very loons to give us hope for the future & wish their careers a slow terrifying death. [By the way, welcome back Happy Bunny!]

It has also come to my attention that no one wants to make jokes anymore. Ok, Bush wasn't the best President in the world but he gave us 8 years of maybe some of the craziest jokes in the world. Even though he shouldn't have because he was a President, he's gone now, we have a new one & we can't make fun of him or anything ever again. There'a a special called Make Me Laugh on PBS which is wonderful & quite interesting. It shows the history of laughter. Despite bad times, bad press, bad jokes & bad people there's always something or someone to make you laugh or to laugh at, to just try to make someone else happy or laugh. That's all it is. People can change, grown up, get older & not laugh & that's sad. No one should have to live like that & if that's all we have to this life, it's better to laugh at a bad joke than not laugh at all. It's not meant to hurt anybody, just their egos & if they can't take it, who cares! :

.........The 'Old First Daughters' decided to write a letter to the 'New' First daughters as a word of advice. Are they kidding????.........

............David Coverdale [hopefully of the new Led Zep] is an American citizen. This is completely shocking........

.......4 of the greatest classical musicians in the world finger-synched their way through a freezing Inauguration introduction performance of genius John Williams' song whose melody almost resembled that of the classic rock Grammy winning instrumental Cinema by Yes.
Send us back to the Stone Age why don't you!! I can't imagine what's worse: feeling you can't play your instrument for fear that it will go off tune in public like so many other musicians in the world have done under normal circumstances & sounded awful [believe me-no one would have cared, if you did you'd be complaining about every bad musician out there right now who is playing a bad note!] , or the public not realizing that the song sounded like Yes. [Note: People are complaining about musicians 'lip-synching'....now who's saying 'get a life'?????].........

........The Latin couple of last year who just had twins is breaking up, no one saw that coming. Oh so shocking! [?] Maybe she'll let him eat again, since he's been looking so bleak. Don't worry, maybe their deadbeat entourage's bodyguard's best friend's date who watches their furs will get custody of the twins. Then the poor kids will have a decent future!........

..........Oh, poor Dark Knight didn't get nominated for any 'big' Oscars. Are you kidding?? It's a cartoon!!! Well it was. But it's not an Oscar contender by any means. Can we get that straight?? And do you really think, that poor boy wants the Joker to be the last thing people remember him by???? I don't think so........

..........Bruce Springsteen didn't get an Oscar nomination for Best Song!! Maybe now someone cool will get it! Like Peter Gabriel! [Also, am the only one who wants to see Wall-E get Best Screenplay??,& besides Wall-E, House Bunny was the best movie of last year!].........

..........Amy Winehouse's husband [?] wants to divorce her. Are you kidding??????????? He was only in jail for a year.........

.........The prosecution finally rested in the Phil Spector trial. Can this really be taking this long?????? Are you kidding????.........

That seems to be the big news of the new year, if you count this prez jazz. Yet this seems to be how this year is going to shape up. Big changes & no matter what, idiots will still be idiots. Let's see how long it will last. I'm going to be revamping my bleech, I'm not sure how, but I hope to have much more interesting & fun things to talk about. So stay close, stay in touch, keep rockin' & don't stop showing your funny side!!!

THANX ! / WHAT A WAY 2 GO!!!! PRE-DICK-SHUNS FOR THE 9S!!!!

WOW, WHAT DID I MISS??? OK, so I forgot to give Thanks to all.... & I swear to you, I have plenty to be thankful for & I will list them all as I lay another & ONE FINAL MASSIVE END-UH-DA-YEEAH DOUBLE SPECTACU-MEGALOYD BLEECH for just ONLY you.....

I didn't think I missed anything since nothing happened or did it???? But in the days during Turkey day, you turkeys!, quite a lotta shit happened & yes I have to use that word so get over it!
Here goes my Thanx for not only y'all who've read my bleech [my followers especially] in the last year but the madness in which I have been able to accomplish this, just when I keep thinking it's going to suck, it just sort of actually kinda works. Thanx....

1st of all: THANX: to HAPPY BUNNY, for not only making these last 2 years complete bliss for me [I have my own yummy bunny that's been keeping me very happy this past year & I'm extremely grateful to no end...] & my bleech, but for adding the touch it needed. Yet since I'm thinking of retiring the cute little thingy from here [boo-hoo! sob! ugh!], I'm not exactly sure how I will continue this without the magic bunny, who has given me nothing but sheer happiness. I luv u Happy Bunny, you're totally Sick & amazing! [Would like help in what to replace it with....]

THANX: to LITA FORD for coming back & still looking amazing & putting on one of the greatest concerts of the year.....& having a Xmas song too. Ultimate. She was what this world was missing! Let's hope the movie about her old band the Runaways does her justice.

THANX: to GUNS 'N' ROSES for biting the big one! We're still not sure who's left, but if Buckethead isn't even there anymore [if only to hear the loon's name, which has to be the all time funniest rock name EVER!], than there shouldn't have been ANY point Axl! Even more sad is getting beat by Kane W.
BONUS POINTS: For Velvet Revolver & Stone Temple Pilots for not being able to figure out who the hell they are, what they are or who they want to be, especially in the band. Wait....aren't they all the same band? Let's just hope Buckethead gets something outta this. Maybe he'll join the Black Velveetas....

THANX: to Jennifer Aniston for taking back the dork who thought he could actually dump her. Idiot! I don't know how she did it, but no other chick would want to handle his boring ass. Maybe if she can really tame him we'll never have to hear his whiny voice again. Ugh...

THANX: To everyone including Paul McCartney, who vehemently protested the 'New Led Zep', which would've been hilarious. This came outta nowhere!
Page & Jones wouldn't have DARED to try that one. I love that they did try. I'm still voting for COVERDALE! Now that should be Zep again if not for a laugh as good as BUCKETHEAD.

THANX: TO THE IMMORTAL QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS FOR COMING BACK!! I will say it for as long as your hands bleed from typing or writing to me telling me I'm insane!! IT WORKS SO BACK OFF!!! The COSMOS ROCKS does ROCK!! GET IT!! AS LONG AS BRIAN MAY & ROGER TAYLOR LIVE TO STILL BE ABLE TO TOUCH THEIR INSTRUMENTS THEY MUST NOT STOP!! You'd rather have George 'toilet jailbird' Michael join??
There are only 3 things wrong with this entire thing: 1: That JOHN DEACON isn't there----PLEEEAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE COME BACK JOHN!!!!
2: That they even have the gall to do the 'song' "BAD COMPANY' live'. That's just mean. Not only to poor Simon Kirke who is beyond amazing & is the coolest drummer ever, but the fact that it sounds better, since Brian & Roger beat the shit out of that [Feel Like Makin' Love should NEVER EVER be done by Bad Company EVER AGAIN because of this, this song now COMPLETELY BELONGS TO QUEEN !!!!!!! all it needs is JOHN DEACON!! I think I'm gonna faint!!! ] & QUEEN ISN'T BAD COMPANY!! &
3: That BRIAN & ROGER DON"T SING LEAD MORE!!! That's pathetic. The new songs are amazing but if Brian & Roger had some lead time they would sound so much more kickin'. But I will be forever grateful to Paul for keeping my boys together so screw what everyone else says!!! Also Remember kiddies: be glad that they are not Journey, the new Led Zep, the last Judas Priest & the new YES!!! You know they have a lot more class than that! Also they're not called QUEEN OK!!! It's QUEEN +PAUL RODGERS!!! DUMMIES!!!

THANX: To JON ANDERSON for basically kicking Chris Squire's giant ass about HIS YES!!!! Alongside Chris, we all now how tiny Jon is next to him, so for him to have pulled off making the lunatics not go out as Yes after they didn't seem to give a crap that he became extremely ill is just his mystical magic work at its best. All that Yogi stuff paid off big time! Topped off by that beautiful pissed off letter he wrote to everyone was remarkable. You still got it Jon!! That is precision & the way to fight for your band even when you can't!!! Remember kiddies: Jon could've taken the School Of Rock kids out as Yes & THAT WOULD'VE BEEN MORE YES THAN THIS & no one would've said a word!! Not even Chris.

THANX: To the bEAGLES for keeping my new found hatred for them alive. This because on the actually all-cool very country CMA Awards while everyone donned their country outfits looking how they were supposed to, the Eagles, who have forever sounded country & even looked country on their Hell Freezes Over Tour with their classic sexy-ass denim [which pissed me off at the time because I thought they would've dressed up-EVEN THOUGH THEY LOOKED GOOD!! my bad!] look, they go & dress up like tuxedoed corporate lawyers at a meeting that looked like it'd taken place at a music store & just decided to start playing & bring their corporate stock broker dork friends with them in place of Don Felder. [I'm referring to the 2000 loons they had up there playing every instrument the Eagles themselves used to once play...] WHAT THE HELL????????????????????

THANX: To my great friend Ronald Vaughan for trusting me with part of his fantastic archives. I'm beyond honored....

THANX: to SHERYL CROW for making every effort in the world to TRY to get into FLEETWOOD MAC & not succeeding. She still has a chance, if Buckingham decides to keep his big mouth shut. Since her music has become useless to date, it would be good for her to join them, if only to make better music. Let's hope Stevie puts her foot down & takes her, otherwise CHRISTINE PLEASE COME BACK!!

THANX: to Blender Magazine for actually being ok, especially for their lists. When Rolling Stone decided to shrink, they officially went on the bad magazine list, seemingly making Blender become cool, despite who they cover.

THANX: to , TOM JONES & PAUL MCCARTNEY for still being classy after all these years!!!

THANX: to my bud , former writer of Time magazine & one of the most respected authors of all time, for releasing the fiction book BEET about why I never went to college & why it sucks & just being completely insane... It's hilarious & it's coming out on paperback next year [month -whatever you wanna call it] READ IT!! I luv u Roger!.

WHAT A WAY 2 GO/PRE-DICK-SHUNS 4 THE 9S:

December??? Damn!! When did that get here so fast? I guess at Thanksgiving. Gee. Can you slow down a bit? Complaints, complaints, complaints. That's all I seem to hear about lately, it's sickening. People just love to complain & not do anything about it, or better yet go on until they annoy you to oblivion. So why can't I do the same thing? Isn't that what life's about???
OK so let's send Double -08 out in style & bring in the 9s. Here's to what's happened & what may happen if this world is worth anything.........

MAY HAPPEN: the band Creed is threatening our very existence by getting back together. As with the Led Zep controversy this must NOT HAPPEN! They have forever said they are doing this for the Lord. Now we know this is blatant blasphemy. Since we know God's favorite band is & will always be QUEEN!. SO maybe God will see the good in this not happening & stop this insanity before we hear the crooning of Scott Stapp's drunken onstage preaching.

MAY HAPPEN: PINK FLOYD's respect for their legacy continues, even after the death of their 2 leaders. Yes leaders: Richard Wright & Syd Barrett, the reining Kings of the Floyd are gone so Pink Floyd is gone. Even as they made this constantly clear, everyone wishes they will still tribute them by reuniting in some way. Of course, this is NOT GONNA HAPPEN! But who knows how heartbroken they may be & may actually put on one show for their leaders which would be nice, but nothing more than that. It would be surprising, but no point without that 'evil Ricky sound'. No one should have to duplicate that. The only reason for them to play together again would be of Kate Bush happens to decide to ever tour or play a show again. Now that would be a perfect band for her. That MAY HAPPEN.....you never know.

MAY HAPPEN: GARY MOORE somehow lost a battle of someone accusing him of ripping off a solo. Just a solo no less. Not lyrics, an entire song, or a melody but an ENTIRE SOLO!!! This is the strangest precedent I've ever heard in my life. A song no one ever heard of for one thing, even if they did, Gary Moore is one of the only original guitarists left in this world so there would be no reason in the world for him to rip off anyone, even though all he does is blues music now, yet fantastically. He apparently can appeal this which MAY HAPPEN & must. If not just to save his reputation, which really isn't in danger of being destroyed because he is so amazing & I don't think anyone cares, but for the fact that this can set off a whole chain of events which I admit I personally wouldn't mind seeing. SO that would mean that Oasis can get sued by the Beatles for trying to sound exactly like them, it's still a wonder why they still exist in the 1st place. Or any 80s bad metal band can get sued by Deep Purple's Ian Gillian for all trying to sound exactly like him? Ripping off his sound, right? That is the equivalent of ripping off an exact solo, yes? What I'd give to see all these bad new singers just disappear off the planet by a lawsuit. If it were only that easy. For that, Courtney Love should sue Amy Winehouse for being a bad version of her. Or the Pussycat Dolls for being an absolute slutty version of the Spice Girls. [I have no idea who was before that, the Supremes??] It would be interesting. MAY HAPPEN!!

MAY HAPPEN: The Grammy Nominations were announced. Yes, I wait for this, yes, I'm gonna see it, yes, it's important to see who you don't like LOSE!!!! Not who you like win because that's NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!! BUT!!! In this case there's a lot riding on this one & I'm so going to be right there. I will take wagers from anyone!!! :
1st off: The GILMOUR/RUSH SHOWDOWN!! One of them may win. I believe they were nominated in this same category once before & both lost. But once again Best Rock Instrumental rules with a nomination each for David Gilmour & Rush. A win for them MAY HAPPEN! Because we can't see anyone else here getting this [although they might get creamed with Zappas]. [The fact that Bruce Springsteen who's never done an instrumental in his life, decides to do one last year, gets nominated in that category for the 1st time & wins it because the Grammy people are idiots is just another brain-dead sample of why they can't understand why people hate them! ] So it's time for Gilmour or Rush, doesn't matter, but it would be nice if Gilmour got it, if only to hear him praise Mr. Wright for being on the song, even though he's so not going....you never know....
2nd off: BATTLE OF OLDER VS. OLD: Robert Plant is up for his really cool album with his little girlfriend Country star Allison Krauss. The bEagles are up for their new record. What's the difference??? Robert Plant over the years acquired something called CLASS!!! He is aging gracefully-musically! [looks is a different story] so he's an older elder statesman! Even he is sick of singing his own Zep songs, this makes him cool! Therefore he is being labelled as the Grammys OLD choice to give the Grammy to. This is NOT CORRECT. If the Eagles were up for Album of the Year [which they are NOT THANK GOD!-either way they would lose to Plant] that would be an old choice. Since the Eagles have not acquired the class they so have been trying to achieve since they got rid of their amazing lead guitarist Don Felder. They just made themselves OLD!! Since then they have gone out of their way to try to prove they're still cool, even by trying to stop the release of his awesome tell-all Heaven & Hell. Yes they made a new album, but are aging most ungratefully & therefore are the old choice, nor do they have an iota of class anymore. Robert Plant actually made a good record, a record worth listening to. The Eagles made a record but then took 20 guys out to play it for them. When did they need to take another band out with them to be the Eagles when they were the Eagles? This shows no class. So while the Eagles might win [& unfortunately I still think Frey & Henley are kinda cute...the bums!!!], it MAY HAPPEN!, they are the OLD choice, since there really isn't anyone else in that category anyway to give it to, Plant & Ms. Krauss are the class choice, which means they are taking that show back to the stratosphere.
3rd off: BRITS vs. USA: OK, I've long put on the table that the brits have put out way better music than Americans lately, why is that? It's like Hollywood now. All the American actors in these new cool shows are BRITISH!! Eli Stone, House, Mentalist [Aussie]. Its a fact, being an American has sucked for a very long time, in music & movies. Half the lead awards nominated are from Brits. Not that the records are any good but they aren't very American. Except Robert Plant's. Go figure. Being with his American lady hit that nail, so of course he's going to get that & it won't count. And I long thought that Coldplay & Radiohead were the same Brit band. So all this is going to prove is to get those 2 horrid bands in the same room to prove they're not the same guys..YUK! I know they're both going to lose.....MAY HAPPEN...you never know...

Having said this there is still a whole month left & more stupid things MAY HAPPEN! Yet since the month & the year is almost over Here are my Pre-Dick-Shuns for the year coming as all these other idiots are making their deadbeat idiotic ridiculous predictions for the Nu Year, that I think WILL HAPPEN!!...:

WILL HAPPEN: John Deacon will pull a Duran Roger Taylor move on QUEEN [which will be hilarious considering that their drummers both have the same name] & return to that band after finally getting sick of his home life as Roger of Duran did. Word is that after Sir Duran boy left years ago, singer Simon LeBon called him everyday since asking him to come back to which he replied everytime with a sheer NO! Yet 5 years ago he finally said Yes & has been there since. So there is hope for John Deacon & Queen, he just needs a little more time, if not, one of his kids has got to be able to play bass already....you never know.....

WILL HAPPEN: Whoever's left in Guns'n'Roses, Velvet Revolver & Stone Temple Pilots will do a 3 day tour of Japan & call themselves Talk Show with special guest Buckethead & whatever the hell the Page & Jones call their new boys in tribute to Coverdale/Page!

WILL HAPPEN: Dennis DeYoung, Steve Perry, Peter Cetera & Jon Anderson will do a full out leaders tour & call themselves YES US! :the Dude Divas as in us & for the USA. They will blow their former bands off the charts, tell them where they can Styk it & it will be the most successful tour of the year. Theie band will consist of Simon Kirke on drums, Mark-Younger Smith & Lincoln Brewster on gtr [the 2 geniuses who kicked Steve Stevens [Billy Idol] & Neal Schon [Journey] in their asses!!] with Dennis & Peter on keys & bass respectively, add a couple of extra School of Rock ladys on xtra keys & bass & that would make one sick band.

WILL HAPPEN: Since Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse, Sheryl Crow, Jewel, Duffy & Beyonce have all but destroyed our hopes of hearing any kind of real singing & good songs again, BONNIE TYLER, KIM CARNES, SASS JORDAN, PAT BENATAR & CHER will play an all-out screamfest of a show called the REAL VH1 DIVAS!! & PUT ALL THESE LITTLE BITCHES IN THEIR PLACE!! Guest starring the original country ladys of rock: Grace Slick, Olivia Newton John, Tanya Tucker & Linda Ronstadt plus Joan Osborne & Lisa Marie Presley to the screamfest. Their band will consist of Nancy Wilson & Marcy Detroit Levy on gtr, Suzi Quatro on bass & Toni Tennille & Christine McVie on keys with Moi! on drums..., Gina Schock & maybe Sheila E! They will end with a tribute to the late Laura Branigan & encore with a screeching version of Gloria!! [one can only hope!]

WILL HAPPEN: GENESIS will reunite with Peter Gabriel & Steve Hackett & play the sickest tour ever seen by man. If Phil Collins can get his chops up.

WILL HAPPEN: THE FACES will reunite with 10,000 guests bassists. It's the only way they'll get away with their reunion without late bassist Ronnie Lane. They just better get someone with class!!! I could give them 200 names who are out of work now.

WILL HAPPEN: By FAR!!!! The best story of the year, I don't care what happened to who or what president we got, Nothing!! Compares!!! TO!!! the ARETHA/TINA BATTLE!!!
Can you believe this??? There is no story in the world better than this!!! My vote for the No. 1 2008 Best Headline!!! This is the funniest thing EVER!!! Teeny Tina compared to Giant Aretha.. Is it a Battle of the voices??? No! Is it a Battle of Music??? Not even close!! Is it a battle she said/she ate??? Maybe!! But mercy, this is insane. I'm betting that since these divas have never met [which is completely unbelievable!] & their new music doesn't seem to mean much to anyone lately, that they WILL meet & have a mega-leg showdown. With Tina Turner sashaying her awesome legs around that stage while Aretha has her helpers escort her out with a chicken leg in her hand & scream how she's really the Queen. Then right before it ends Dolly Parton will take them both out with her boobs!! DONE!!!

MINI WILLS:
George Michael will be arrested for toliet training....
Michael Jackson will be arrested for training....
Madonna will be arrested for doing baseball players....
Britney will be arrested for wearing pants......
Axl Rose will be arrested for going on tour......
Paris Hilton will be arrested for speaking [I wish!]
Lindsey Lohan will be arrested for going straight.....
& Motley Crue will be arrested for still being alive.....

Those are my pre-dick shuns....don't forget to watch New Year Rockin' Eve no matter how much it'll suck because Dick Clark will be there once again. It just goes to show you there'll always be a Dick around...

JACK-OFF-LANTERNS!!!!!!!



How scary is this Halloweenie seeming to be? It is apparent that all these very spooky things have been happening & it's just an unperfct time for it. HAPPY HALLOWEENIE! I have to mention the scariest thing that is haunting me lately....the Killers are playing Madison Square Garden???????????? Are you kidding me? Are they that big? I don't think so. Too scary.

This will probably go down as the sickest Halloween in history. All because of the new records that are supposedly coming out & also the dumb antics of idiot classic rockers.....
Why anyone cares about it is beyond me:
1. Guns'N'Roses is coming back, we don't even know who's in it anymore but someone still cares. Even though Axl really looks like he's actually wearing a mask of himself. Funny side scary note: Buckethead, their supposed 'new' guitarist has been playing solo shows till Axl decides to get up off his ass & do something......
.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. Led Zep has decided to pull a Yes/Journey deal & get someone else to sing for them since they're sick of waiting around for Robert Plant to say yes. He said no, they said screw him. You have to admire their zeal for them to think that there are fans who will actually go see the 2 boys that are left in that band aside from Baby Jason, which is fine, but you wonder.....will they be calling David Coverdale again???? Better someone known than unknown....... ..???????? So what is the point??? Well they won't be playing MSG......

3. It's the 25 Anniversary of Thriller...big deal. I still think of poor Vincent Price, who'll only be known now because of that record. 25 means its the anniversary of 90125 by Yes, & Vacation by the Go-Go-s. Now that's something!

4. Amy Winehouse is still alive.....amazing.

There have been more important things going on. I was having a conversation recently about 'fake albums'. CDs now, but when albums were out there was our share. Fake albums are just ridiculous compilation albums that have all the hits of a band you already have along with a bunch of other songs you don't care about & it's put out by a label that thinks they're bigger than Warner Bros. but who don't even have the decency to spend money on simple packaging let alone the print it's done on. IF ANYTHING THEIR BAD OFFICIAL BOOTLEGS!!!

In the 70s, there was K-Tel who actually came out with some decent compilations back then were amazingly fun. They had whopper covers & were way cheaper than what is available now. Casablanca & Krofft Records were probably the worst companies to release your records on back then. Who knew if the artists recieved any money for their sales. Now there is 'Essential', 'Millennium Collection' & the worst of all 'NOW'. It would be a miracle if the artists knew that these records were out with their music & recieve some compensation, but the fact that all of these compliations have the same design on all of them & the cheapest inserts in them is just low, that I could be making these at home on my computer.

With the exception of the band's picture being different which each band. The Essential series have the black & white cover which should be classic art but just isn't in this case. Just bad awful cheap art. Same story we all know in it & maybe some extra tracks to make you spend money on this crap some of which are actually double cds. A joke for sure. Nonsense.

The Millennium Collection comps are a teeny bit colorful but otherwise the same, except have less songs & less information. Ridiculous. They're cheap but that isn't even worth 2 cents let alone 5 bucks. Then there are these Extended Versions collections which just make me think that these labels that are putting this junk out there actually think we're stupid. Not a spec of info. The songs are supposedly the longer versions of songs we love, which involve either a live version or the long regular version that is already on the album we'd bought last year. Hello? How dumb do you think we are? You're lucky if you find these pieces of crap for 5 dollars. Incredible.

Let us not forget the 'Greatest Album In The World Ever Made' ones, which frankly I'm sick of. They're not so bad, but they consist of the Greatest 'insert here your favorite genres' of music & it's supposed to best the Best Thing Ever & they're 20,000 of them. You wonder what's flooding our landfills? This crap!!!

Now! I don't know how else to describe probably the All-Time Worst Compilation Records in the History of All Music Anywhere in the Entire World!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People are buying this in droves because????????? a. they don't want to download, b. they don't want to spend $10 grand on the albums they originally came out of, c. they were forced!!!! SICK! The 'NOW' compilations have put shame & absolute embarrassment to the music industry for all time. Should the artists get any royalties is fine but the music isn't even worth the 20 dollars this seems to cost now. Yet it selling like crazy. It's pathetic. This is what everyone has resorted to purchasing to find any form of decent music that's left. Too bad they're not going to find it on there. Congrats to NOW for just being the worst combo ever. The music isn't as annoying as the art
on their covers which displays without any sorrow the giant colorful NOW letters in massive bold print.

The only decent form of compilations that are being released by a decent label that actually cares what it puts out is good old Rhino Records. It shouldn't even be included in this list. But if you want to know about any good band or any good music then get anything on Rhino. Thank GOd there's still something good left in this world.

Who knew art could be this bad. But this is the scariest time music has seen as of late. Hopefully this will all disappear soon & will go back to a normal way of beying cool records. The best thing: Vinyl is back. Very cool....but the Killers are still playing MSG, yuk!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

HAPPY HALLOWEENIE!!!!

WISH YOU WERE STILL HERE........


It's a strange September & already I know it'll be a weird October. Why? October is usually World Series time, Baseball! For New Yorkers, it's the Yankees or nothing. This time, nothing, not even the Mets. Why is it a bad September? Everything that meant anything in NY was lost. PINK FLOYD & YANKEE STADIUM. Do the 2 go hand in hand? Does it make sense? Yes. [Don't get me started on Yes!]

How is it that a city could lose 2 of the most beautiful stadiums in the world in one shot? Ok they are baseball stadiums. Apparently only football stadiums seem to be concert-friendly, since some dumb owners don't seem to trust our music with their lawns.[???????????????-well, if they put good music on their lawns they'd be able to trust us!]. The fact that not only Yankee Stadium is being destroyed but Shea Stadium as well is just demeaning. Both baseball fields, both on the opposite sides of the heart of NY, one in the Bronx [Yankee] & the other in Queens [Shea]. Two places no one would be caught dead in if it weren't for their landmarks.

I can't talk about Shea Stadium since I've never been there which is sad. I've sat on the outside & looked in, but I know how important it is or was to this city. Especially since the new one being built looks like a pile of dead bricks [if it's possible for bricks to be dead, they'd look like the new Shea, which isn't going to be even called Shea but after a crappy bank that may lose all it's money, poor Shea.!] You have to feel sorry for Shea, even if you weren't a Met fan. The fact is Shea is younger born in 1961. A kid! Yet bigger, wow than Yankee Stadium? No way? Way! ! Only 47 years old? They couldn't give it another 3 years to at least hit 50? Is it so torn up, it couldn't wait? Couldn't find some building Botox? [if there is such a thing, Yankee Stadium would never have taken it, it was too strong!] In truth it was only 44 since for 2 years it actually turned into the Yankees when their own stadium was under construction & they came to Shea for 2 years from 1974-1976. Ok, the Beatles played there. Billy Joel played there, they had more concerts than the Yanks ever did. So why destroy it? This one I'll blame on age discrimination & the money-grubbing banks who seem to be buying everything now instead of saving their money like their supposed to [is this a joke?] & we're wondering what's wrong with our economy? While the new one won't even begin to have a history since it won't be taking it's old name, it's a shame that the history of this particular place had not yet begun but did leave a special place in some NY hearts.

Now Yankee Stadium is a different story. It's tinier. But way older! 1923! 85 years old [83 if you wanna get technical because of their dumb refurbishing at Shea!] So this one couldn't be given another 15 years of life to hit 100. No Botox here! We could've taken it! Who cares? We gotta take it out now! Why? Babe Ruth built it. He didn't build it himself , they built it for him, so everyone could come see him. When the old older stadium was up it had a different structure, which is actually back at the newly semi-finished Yank stadium, which is opening next year. Yet when it was rebuilt in 1974, they change the outer structure completely but it was still the same place. You could say we had a giant face-lift, like the Statue of Liberty did [yet she's still looks crazy!] So it has a huge history, of prize fights, football, [which is hysterical to ever think that football was ever played here], sermons & concerts [same thing!].

A place I used to come with my uncle all the time to. He took me to my first game, where else could we go to see a game [Shea was too far so we can't go there, we were Yanks anyway], right next to my house. Yes, I've lived by this beautiful place & watched it slowly fade away from me & it's devastating. I lost my uncle in 2001 & I feel like he wants Yankee Stadium. So he's going to take it. That's ok. He seems to be giving us the old one back, maybe he wanted me to see what the old one looked like. It'll be tinier & more expensive since the money grubbers are taking over this one too for no good reason, but it won't be the same. I'll let you know David.....

Now what does this have to do with Pink Floyd? Richard Wright, Ricky to some. Keyboardist & basically the heart of the band. It was Syd Barrett & Rick who did all the vocals in this band before anyone else did!!! THEY WERE PINK FLOYD! As long as one or the other was in that band, it was Pink Floyd. It was Rick when Roger Waters left who sang all of Roger's parts & it was still ok. Because it was Rick. Ricky passed away this month, a couple of weeks before Yankee Stadium did. When I would go to see the Yanks I'd never been on the field. Till one day. Pink Floyd decided to come to the Bronx. What?? Are you kidding?? Pink Floyd in the Bronx? I dare them to get past the Deegan. [I would've had my uncle clear it for them, not only was he a very dangerous driver, but he was a gravedigger, he knew what to do with a body & he would've done it for me, he couldn't have cared less about Pink Floyd!] They made it.

In 1994 when everything sucked & the 90s were worming its sorry music onto this world Pink Floyd saved Yankee Stadium. I went to get tickets for the first night. First day of sale. Awesome. My friends were going to go with me [my girl D, see 'A Day In the Life...]. Cool. We get there, we hang, we see Debbie Harry walking in the back of the Stadium, cool, she likes Pink Floyd, awesome! We're in the Loge section. Cool. We sit, we can't see a damn thing. It's completely obstructed. Why? Their staging was insane. The seats were behind their screens & lights. How is this possible? A lady comes to us & asks if we like our seats? No! She laughs, it's ok, the box office made a mistake, follow this person & we'll show you to your seats. So we proceed to go down, down, the walk which took forever, seemed long [if you know any stadium you know this], we wind up outside. Wait we're outside? What's going on? Your seats are there. She point to the inside of Yankee Stadium on the field. I almost died! AAHH!!!! No way! it was so beautiful it was insane. Here I am in the field of Yankee Stadium seeing not a baseball game, not a show, but PINK FLOYD!! My Ricky. He was the one for me. My favorite & he was right there in front of me. He was the cute one. He still was & I got to see him in Yankee Stadium. Saw him twice, since I went the next day as I found friends who were working the show! Seeing him singing 'Wearing The Inside Out' & 'Astronomy Domine' was nothing short of mesmerising. Who knew you could have a sight like that in the Bronx? Now I lost both? Impossible. Ricky was Pink & now he's gone forever & I'm going to miss him & his beautiful voice.

Yankee Stadium is gone because there will never be another place like it, even though the new one is right next to it & it's actually just as beautiful & the construction going into it is actually caring about the history of preserving what the old one meant [which is more than I could say about the new Shea, which won't be the new Shea!]. PINK FLOYD is gone because Rick is gone, Syd is gone & now we'll never see anything like that again. If you don't believe me you could ask who's left yourself. If you know anything about what it means to preserve history in something as sacred as a stadium, or something that means anything to you, you know this is not going to happen. We also know that as of late, in rock bands, preserving history is the last thing our classic boys seem to care less about now. There wasn't a tribute more devastating than Roger Waters himself. A man he'd fought with for so long, that when they'd finally gotten back together & received a British Hall of Fame award. As they were accepting it & Rick was hospitalized at the time for eye surgery, Roger had said he wasn't in surgery that they'd actually eloped. How adorable. His website was taken down & he went on to explain why Rick was important to Pink Floyd. Even him coming to the realization that Pink Floyd will never happen again, after he'd wanted it more than we did, is more painful than you could imagine.

I'm glad & sad that I got to see Yankee Stadium for the last time. Rick Wright & Pink Floyd for the last time. Both at my house. I'm also glad, since Syd & Rick never really got to see each other after Syd left that they're finally together now. Probably wondering what my uncle is doing with a big old stadium in his hand & he's telling Rick that I was there when he played & used to take me there all the time & they're all hanging out. I just hope Ricky doesn't ask my uncle why he wasn't at the show.........

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
luv to Ricky, Yankee Stadium & my uncle David...
luv, Rozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

EEEWWWW IS RIGHT!!! !!!!!


Did you ever see Flashdance? I might've mentioned this before. Probably the cutest girl & most talented [since we already know the star didn't even ride the bike, I relate to this to but I not even getting into this now] in the movie
Cynthia Rhodes-by the way,just to get it out of the way, did do her own dancing, [you can't make that up, especially what she did, quite a sight if anyone has any wish to stretch in any form!!] is completely freaking because her man hasn't called. All throughout the movie if anyone was paying attention to it other than looking at all the ladies asses, it was he didn't call.

'He didn't call. 'He'll call'. Should I call him?'You think he'll call?' 'Of course, why wouldn't he?' 'If he doesn't call do you think I should call him?' 'Don't worry, he'll call'. OK, so later they're working out & the bum still hasn't called. 'He'll call. Don't worry'. 'I don't know'.... No matter who you were when you saw this movie, you wanted her to call him & were actually wanting to know if he would call. So the tough lady finally says 'Just get up & call the dude' to which she also added that she was 'glad I ain't no honky'. 'Yeah, you really think so?'. So while the lead character is screwing & fighting & breaking up with her man & dancing & losing her mind & wondering why her friend is losing it by going out with the lowlife of the movie, you could care less because you're still want him to call her. In my mind [& others], I'm thinking, he's gotta call, she could dance, she's mega-cute, he's gotta be just a hunk who is just making her wait right? Of course, dammit when is he gonna call??? Finally, they're all at a party in costumes which looks like Halloweenie time. They're all there & Tina [her name]is seen dancing with this balding older guy in a suit & glasses looking like a deadbeat lawyer or something, not in costume like everyone else. After all your thoughts, after all we waited for, what are we thinking? It's her dad? No!, did he call? Who's that with her? Nah! She finally says to her friend what the world & everyone else were waiting for, points to the guy in question & has the nerve to say, with the happiest smile on her face: 'HE CALLED!'. What? ARE YOU KIDDING? NO WAY? YUK!! EEWWW ! GET REAL RIGHT??

Why am I explaining the only reason to see Flashdance? [Now that I've explained the entire movie, you probably don't have to see it, but should & if you haven't, what planet are you on?] Because of Miss Tina, first of all [who happens to be married in real life to Richard Marx...which may be questionable]second, because I appreciate this scene very much & completely understand it. Unlike some people in this world. Unlike the dumb ladies of Showbiz Tonight, who constantly, day by day, night by night say just stupid things about who or what they think is beautiful or not & are just in shock anytime something stupid happens they just 'oh are just horrified'. So what is it that got me here twice this bleech.???

I didn't even watch these Olympics [are they done yet???], sorry, I just wasn't into it. Everyone there I'm sure are amazing athletes & if they're not full of steroids, congrats to all! But Jim McKay [look him up!, dammit!] isn't covering it, gone, so forget it! Over! But Mercy! Swimmer Amanda Beard's apparent dislike of her buff teammate has gotten insane backlash of this poor lady's taste. What the hell for?? Of course, an idiot radio guy asks her a stupid question adding to his stupidity, wonders if she was dating the guy or even wanted to [when of course that's not ethical, but do they care? no!]she replied with a very simple 'Eww,No!'. So what? What is the problem? She also added after some grilling something along the lines of 'Eww Nasty'. Which I found hilarious but I still didn't care. [I think everyone is EEWW!!] People or chicks [Haha!]everywhere seem to be losing it because of this & this lady is getting ripped up everywhere, especially by these dumb broads at Showbiz Tonight who haven't a clue about what a real man is when they talk to idiots like the 'Man' author who thinks he's God's gift to women [Don't even get me started on that dork.], whenever they feel they need a 'man's opinion'. , which is a joke!! Pathetic! This is when I started to care.

OK ,so I'm on her side & I will defend her to the death! Why? Because you girls out there are ridiculous!!!! Especially you Showbiz Tonight chicks. Where in the world or in what gutter did they dig out these crazy 'panelists'? I just wanna smack them all to death. Talk about stupid. So we're not cool because we have to think like these broads [by the way I'm not Italian, I just use that word to describe brainless chicks,it works for me, like others would use 'dumb blonde'!, because these broads aren't blond, well one is, so write me if you must, I dare you, just know that I am a chick, was a broad & have been blonde & very proud!] & their word is law & they feel their words will 'make a difference'.
Their difference: She said it because she wants to be famous!? What? If she wanted to be famous she could've said something like 'He can't swim'. Hello?? That's how stupid this whole thing is. One of them actually had the unmitigated gall to say & even suggest that she was 'clueless'! ????????????????????????????????????????
[You guys out there love girl fights & wonder & why we love to tear our hair out while it happens, 1st of all, I'm not your typical chick, I love a good fight every once in a while, a guy fist fight,[girls can do this too!!] this is why I miss real baseball, but in this particular case I wanted to rip each flake of hair off this one's head when she uttered this! Why because it helps!]
Oh she's clueless, so she'll deliberately insult someone she's not interested in or remotely not attracted to if that is supposed to be the case [let's get the winner a girlfriend already!] & say they're EWW! Guess what, maybe she's NOT interested, ever thought of that? Is that a possibility??? It probably frightened her, she's probably traumatized from this & will need therapy for the rest of her life at the suggestion of even sleeping with this guy. [I would be!-sort of, not therapy though-remember therapist is a compound word!] ] By the way, if you forgot she's a hell of an athlete herself. Did we forget ??? Do we care? I guess not after this!

EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN OPINION!! OR FREEDOM OF SPEECH?? Well, last I heard everyone is also entitled to their own taste. So he's maybe not her type at all, who cares? You're gonna force her to go out with him? No wait-let's put her in a reality show to get her a husband & we'll get 20 of these dorks & they'll all look exactly like this guy [like they all do now anyway-EEWW!!] & watch her & me throw up!! Guess what chickies, HE'S NOT MY TYPE EITHER!!! Are you shocked? Oh, so now I wanna be famous?? So am I clueless? That's right, he's not my type. Do you want to know what that means?? That means SHE'S RIGHT! That's a rule you know!!! [RR xoxoxoxo!]But I have some news for the boy who thought he wrote that rule: [like he really made that up!xoxoxox] sometimes [only sometimes], she's not right & in this case, all of you ladies out there who are giving this lady crap about this are WRONG!! SO BACK OFF!!

For years, I've endured almost all the ladies in my family going for younger dudes & it has sickened me. Yes I prefer a real man [must I mention them??- quit it & check my previous blecchs!]. So he's buff, he broke Mark Spitz's [who by the way looks beyond gorgeous now that he's gotten 'mature'] record [which really sucks because despite him looking like a porn star when he won all those he is still THE MAN!! & will forever be!]& he's a great athlete. But ladies, he's not the most beautiful thing on this planet. See ladies, back then Mark was Eww also, now, he's Yum!. It takes a while ladies, a long while. Ok, he's your type, cool, maybe you'll marry & divorce him & take all his Frosted Flakes money, good for you. But don't push the dork on us real ladys who like real men. I can't believe that the criteria for a real man involves a young buff, he's probably the nicest guy in the world, but come on. OK, they don't have to be fat & crusty either but there can be something pretty special in between & when you can really 'SEE' that, it can be pretty incredible. So before you ride those boy toys, think for a minute. How long can you look at that? Eventually they run out of gas & I don't mean in the engine! Because the engine can always get a boost! Yes some winning pretty boys are EWW!. Sometimes the Bronze dudes have hope to, but they're not all Gold. Sometimes you need Silver [I need air!!whoo!]. So to Miss Amanda way to go, stick to your guns & screw what all these idiots are saying about you, call me & we'll show them what a real man is.... don't disappoint me! & let's see what you'll look like in 20 years Mr. Eww!! Who knows you may finally be Yum!
