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........................

HALLOWEENIE AFTERTHOUGHT!

Hello fellow loony bins. It's been a while since I posted. Unfortunately, 'MySpace' has taken up more of my time, which really sucks. I never wanted to go there. But it sucks how much fun it is. [It seems to be a kiddie site & sort of a dangerous one as well. But what's a little nutty site to an old lady like me.] Hee hee! Whatever. I have a few things to discuss. I sort of missed Halloweenie & I'm very upset about it. But I did manage to have some fun that night. But I still want my candy. Tried to dress up like a dude. It was so regular it was boring. I probably looked like the biggest dork in history. [If I were to eye myself as a dude, I wouldn't give me a 2nd glance. I wasn't even my type.] But I have to say it felt strange. But it wasn't easy. I need a better suit next time. Silliness.

Anyway, I usually have a fellow co-hort to help me with my blecch, but this time I thought I'd put up a real shot to show that this has just been on my mind for a while. Why? I don't know but I've been listening to what has been a constant run of this so I feel I have to get out what I need to about this. I guess Dennis seems to have a thing for duets now...

DUETS! Once again, it's about duets. OK I saw the show maybe twice. Twice only because our celebrated boy-the legendary Dennis DeYoung was on there singing with a comedian /actor. NOT DUETing as it was so well put when the Celebrity Duets show aired. As I stated on my dumb 'myspace' page, it WASN'T A DUET. The participants [the 'so-called' celebrities] were singing background for the actual real singers that were asked to be on the show. GOT IT! ARE WE CLEAR ON THIS YET??? A DUET IS A SONG SUNG BY 2 PEOPLE AT DIFFERENT SEQUENCES! NOT IN UNISON OR BACK-UP SINGING. Otherwise every Pink Floyd song with the ladys would be a duet & that is NOT correct.

Anyway why this has been bugging me is insane. [This is a potentially amazing Halloween story. SO if you missed Halloween because of something dumb like work too, then please keep reading.] Since that show ended, which I didn't see the ending or even care, [since poor Hal Sparks got thrown out just for making his song a little rockin'] for some reason, all the songs I've come across since, have been duets. Some especially bad. But , yes, all duets. And my beautiful new channel THE TUBE isn't helping by playing some of these extremely awful ones over & over [even though they are doing this I still emplore you to find this channel because it is still amazing!]. Sick. SO I kept listening, observing & as bad as that show was [with the very exception of our Dennis!], there have been worse duets. And of course I couldn't get it out of my brain without telling you about it. So here it goes. The Best Duets EVER, the WORST of course, & best uses of a non-duet, which I will explain.

Now since this has been imbedded into my head forever. I should start with the explanation of the word DUO which is another word no one seems to realize it's correct meaning either. Now the reason being the award complex. The award shows always seem to want to award a 'duo or group' & together, like if it were it's own band, they'll never think of separating it, right? So what is a duo? It 's 2 people, right? Less than 3, less than 5, not more than 2. But who always wins??....the group award...?? ...the duo??? Apparently being a giant group is too much to make up more than 2 awards for. Jag-offs!! Oh well, not that I have anything against duos, but they don't belong in that category. It should be separate & they should get up off their asses & make up more awards for the musicians who really deserve it. I'm rambling now, but who cares. Maybe someone will listen.
Then you have your duet bands. Hall & Oates, Air Supply, Dave & Sugar [remember them? if not, too bad!],Sonny & Cher, almost all their songs are duets, which is fine, some aren't but they still rock. But even they know what a duet constitutes!

[Wow, this thing is turning out to be longer than I thought, back to the dumb show] So the show was trying to make duets out if songs that had no business being a duet. So they meant to destroy perfectly good songs by having a good singer sing with a bad singer , put it together & you had a duet. [whoever thought of this needs to be tied to the end of an anvil....oh..., it was you Simon Idol dork]. So very few have gotten away with making a habit out of this. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. The only time it worked was when Kenny Rogers the duet master-called...of all people.. Sheena Easton to turn a Bob Seger song that wasn't ever a duet 'We've Got Tonight' into a duet. That actually worked. It's not going to work again!! [Maybe it has I'm just not remembering-write me dammit!]

Anyway, I think I said everything I wanted to say about this. Here are the best duets ever, just because of their sheer power, emotion, excitement, fun-ness & just sheer class!

1.Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer-Kenny Rogers & Kim Carnes [if this doesn't rip your guts out, you have no feeling]
2.You Don't Bring Me Flowers-Barbra Streisand & Neil Diamond [a song born out of 1 song each sung separately, geniusly brought together]
3.Where The Wild Roses Grow-Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue [nice & spooky]
4.Summer Nights-Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta [Classic]
5.Sweet Fire of Love-Robbie Robertson & U2 [this song is just sick!]
6.Don't Cry Daddy- Lisa Marie Presley & Elvis Presley [Too Awesome!]
7.The Core-Eric Clapton & Marcy Levy [he has never made another duet this great!]
8.Heaven Knows-Donna Summer & Brooklyn Dreams [Brutal!]
9.No More Tears-Barbra Streisand & Donna Summer [the 11 minute version is the best!]
10.It's Only Love-Bryan Adams & Tina Turner [it's just loud...the live version's BETTER!!!]


Here are the WORST...well...becasue they're just bad:
1.Picture-Sheryl Crow & Kid Rock [they sound like they want to be put to sleep & should!]
2.Tearing Us Apart-Tina Turner & Eric Clapton [the worst unfeeling duet song ever]
3.I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues-Elton John & Mary J. Blige [do I have to explain?]
4.I'll Be There-Mariah Carey & whoever..........
5.Ridin' With The King-Eric Clapton & BB KING [clearly Crapton has no clue how to sing with anyone but himself]
6.Across The Universe-Moby, Rufus Wainright & some other child [UGH! a triple crap!]
7.Comfortably Numb- Van Morrison & the BAND [2 amazing talents come together to destroy a song with the help of the writer!]
8.I'll Be Missing You-Sting & P.Diddy [even Andy Summers hates this!]
9.I Got You Under My Skin-Bono & Frank Sinatra [he was dead when he did this right?-Lucky.]
10.Crusin'-Gwenyth Paltrow & Huey Lewis [the movie was good but c'mon]

There's my rant. I could ask also if a person sings one line of a song with someone else, does that count as a duet???? [i.e.: Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough-Patty & Henley, etc.....]

What Musical Instrument Are You?
Drum Kit Technically not really a musical instrument, but vital nontheless. You're in many ways the backbone or the rock of the group. You keep things steady and on track. You make a lot of noise, but it often sounds very cool. Try not to keep people up at night. Now if only you could actually read music...

WHAT IS GOING ON??????????????

Here we go! more silliness!! This time it's about VH1 Classic. They officially are starting to SUCK!!!! After doing the most ingenious thing by proving that Steve Miller is a genius [not that it needing proving!] they go have the audacity to show.............................hold on to your hats................... it's gory...................... A DREAM THEATER CONCERT?????? Are you kidding me?????
You guys are done-over!! Now all you are showing are movies & that?? You're sick! They are so NOT classic!!!! And I believe are still way to 'new to be seen on this channel. But then they shouldn't be seen anywhere! To top it of this show was apparently filmed in one if the most beautiful venues out there Radio City!! UGH!! That's not right! I'm probably going to get a lot of crap from all you DT fans out there. But mercy! I just don't think they're classic at all! They are a total 90s band & they are most certainly not legends! More important than that-they don't even spell their name the cool way it should be [Theatre!]. Ok so I'm breaking on them -who cares!! They suck! All 90s music was bad & they're a part of that. So I don't know what else to say. Besides this is a discussion about how bad VH1 Classic has gotten, not how bad DT is!!

All I know is if this keeps up with Classic showing all of this crap instead of doing what they're supposed to & show videos, then they're going to die an ugly death! Just like MTV!! And NO MTV2 or MTV Hits did not save MTV. They all suck!! They're worse now!
Thank God there's a cooly new station coming to kick all their asses as they all well deserve! THE TUBE is a beautiful new channel of just videos. NO MOVIES, NO AWARDS, NO IDIOTS TALKING!! Just cool stuff. Although they do show new crap it isn't so bad, but the classic are well showcased as they should be-GOOD CLASSICS too! If you don't have this channel yet-DEMAND IT!! Somehow I have this channels & this is a collective miracle & a half-as my friend do NOT have this chanel yet. Too bad they don't know what they're missing. But they have 8 million other channels I don't have so screw it!! It reminds one of U68, whom I miss like hell. If anyone remembers U68, please throw me a line. Would love to reminisce. Maybe THE TUBE will bring back all those wacko vids those maniacs used to play!
So VH1 Classic GET WITH IT!! You have a show called the Vault which is better than the request hour & that wasn't supposed to happen!
& DON"T DIE!!!

STEVE MILLER IS THE KING!!!!!!!

STEVE MILLER IS GOD! NOT CLAPTON! GET REAL! FIGURE IT OUT!
He is amazing!!Anything & eveything he does is brilliant! He writes the simplest songs with the most incredible little riffs & you can't get enough! He is treendous & has NEVER done a bad record EVER!!!! How many people can say that???????????????? NOBODY!! Well, only a few [Jethro Tull, Moody Blues, King Crimson, Queen, etc..] But still, he's the KING!!

I don't know what else to say except that he is the best! He's reissued his brilliant FLY LIKE AN EAGLE record & there's a wonderful documentary on VH1 Classic about him which will destroy you with his brilliant stories, how he came up with his CLASSIC riffs & how he does all those cooly noises you here on all his damn good songs & I DEFY YOU to say that this man is NOT a GENIUS!! If you don't like STEVE MILLER you SUCK! Because there is no one like him, there'll never be anyone like him & he made every guitarist in the world ! & they still suck! Geniuses only come once in a lifetime, like BRIAN MAY!! But STEVE MILLER is something else. What else should I say? There is nothing else to say! HE RULES!!!

ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!! DADDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHO'S YOU'RE DADDY NOW ??? HUH??????? Happy Dad Day, I guess! I finally saw Revenge of The Sith,on the worst day of the year-June 6, etc...] so as pissed as Darth Vader was in that particular movie, he's going to help me talk about today's blog crap!

OK! It is good to play all instruments. ANY instrument! If you are a Multi-Instrumentalist that is fine!!! BUT when you are primarily known for 1 particular instrument & you play a bunch of others it really should not qualify you as playing that particular instrument!!

Case in point: I believe I brought up this topic on my other blog when VH gtr dork played keyboards on JUMP & got voted Best Keyboardist in the World that year!! Over TONY KAYE, GEOFF DOWNES, TONY BANKS, DENNIS DEYOUNG & ANYONE ELSE!!!???? PATHETIC!!

But this is not the big story. Now-I love Edgar Winter & Todd Rundgren, but they have no business playing drums!! It doesn"t help that Todd wrote a great song about playing drums & plays lousy timbale on it live! All I want is for real drummers to have their day. I had enough of BAD DRUMMERS!!! Case in point: the NEW STYX! need I go on??? While BANG THE DRUM ALL DAY is a great story about someone who just want to play drums that song should have a massive drum solo in it!

todd rundgren lyrics

a - z LYRICS

FRANKENSTEIN on the other hand has great drumming. BUT we all know good ole Edgar is a Horn & keyboard player mostly. Maybe I;m being silly. I am just wondering now that Mr. Winter is in the Ringo Starr & Sheila E band, how Frankenstein will be played out. It will be interesting. But I think Ringo & Sheila should destroy each other & Edgar should stay out of it.

Also, I believe I mentioned this before but certainly worth mentioning again:
Don Henley needs to stay away from the gtr!
Phil Collins needs to stop playing piano!


I'll take any other dorks I forgot who mis-abuse other instruments. Disclaimer: I have nothing against EDGAR WINTER & TODD RUNDGREN, they're bothe geniuses who are still kicking major ASS!! [Especially Todd who's now in the NEW CARS!!]SO back off!! & figure out what I'm talking about!!

HELLO??????????

Aw, man! Someone went & did a worst album list without me & I didn't get to vote. That sucks! I always want to be a part of that. It's my life! I live to tell what sucks. Well, With their permission I'm going to steal this list make a few changes & ommissions & put it right. I should make 3 very astute obsevations before you read this list. 1: It is a British list which makes it far different than it should be. Meaning even some cool Brits have stuff that suck. 2: How they even made this list is beyond me. You'd think 1 song is bad enough, but to have anyone sit & listen to the rest without completely realizing how bad it is, that's amazing. 3: Styx isn't on it so that means we're safe! [Besides apparently Brits really hate Styx! so we got away with that.]
Also while I may not agree with a teeny few of these I don't doubt that these have the probabilty of being horrible. That's why I will add my comments to some of them & my changes in capitals-then you can tell me what you think.

(but it's because you're so sexy) you're not one of the quietter people and you have to let people know what you think about them... always.

SECRETS OF R'NR!!!!!!!!!!! REVEALED!!!!!!!!!

YES, I'm going to be mean again. I have to be because no one else is. I'm sure you've heard it all before but it must be told, at least by me. I'm sure all of you know this but it's just my new discovery even though it's old news. Just a few little tidbits that I've never wanted to know or care to know but now that I know i think it's funny. It's nothing huge, just of course, silliness. Something for me to talk about & something for me to do while I'm in the midst of destroying the 'Studio' that is now my room. There are holes everywhere that I have to fix. Yet everything is staying, my tapes, my books, my instruments. So here we go we the little tidbits. I hope someone is interesting.

Secret No. 1: This blog will say I wrote this in April,when in fact it is being written at the end of my summer of relaxing on the last day of August, which incidentally is the amazing Gina Schock's birthday. She still kicks ass. So Happy Birthday to the
Queen of the Go-Go's You Rule!!

Today I find myself just wanting to break on poor old Eric Clapton or Crapton.
Just like Roger Waters did when he wound up totally losing his mind over Phil Collins. Which was pretty funny I must say. This after Mr. Collins decided to become completely boring [yes, people, Phil used to be very quite exciting! Believe me! & I believe he will be once again!!] Roger's ranting about Phil was just a trip, so much so that it made him forget all about his hatred for his old partner darling David Gilmour, who he totally couldn't stop speaking of before Phil just popped into his head. And now he misses that boy like his own flesh & blood. So hopefully if David could forget about payback which he has every right to do after what Roger pulled; maybe they can get it together one more time for our dear SYD!! Silly boys.

But then this is the problem with dude bands isn't it???? I guess this doesn't really happen to female band because we don't put up with that kind of crap.
This actually happens to be Secret No. 2: Ladys in R'n'R don't fight like this!! They may not have the longevity that the boys do but they do have a lasting impact that will never be forgotten & eventually do work things out. Unlike these silly boys: Pink Floyd, the Police,etc... but one thing's for sure, none if the ladys have fought to their deaths & let that reunite them for stupid reasons. Let's hope we never see that one!

Anwyay back to Mr. Crapton. What is ny problem with this man?. OK, let's see. 1: He used to be Eric Clapton. He was ok once! 2. I'm sorry he was NEVER GOD or will he EVER BE!! So enough with that!! [that goes to STEVE MILLER!!!! & of course, GOD himself!}
3. Ever since he completely insulted Brian May after Brian had released his 'Star Fleet' record basically saying that he 'couldn't play!!' for me he had to die!! [although I should point out that not only was Mr. Crapton speaking of Mr. May but Eddie VH who was also on the record, for this I sort of let it go because he was right about VH, but you NEVER say that about Brian.]
So with that said I found out a few more little things that just made me think he still isn't God! And I wonder why he still is. I watch this over & over again & I'll get crap from his fans, but I've felt the need to do this ever since he enlisted the help of Babyface to make him cooler ! [??????????????????????? If this doesn't make you think twice I don't know what will!] I'm sure everyone knows this but I found out that that amazing Layla solo is actually played by the incredible Duane Allman! Huh! Since I am not a fan of Mr. Eric [I'll be nice for a minute & not use the new last name] of course I did not know this & I bet you fans out there think & still believe it's all him. WRONG!!! It is revealed in a Classic Albums segment as told by I believe the engineer of that record. it's pretty amazing because goes so far as to lower Eric's part completely & you hear what Duane is doing which is insane! Schocking??? [yes, GINA!!] I think it's hilarious. So this means that Duane is God!! HA!!! Also : Proof number 2: When the 'man' does play this live he doesn't play it & sing it at the same time!! I assume A LOT of pretty damn good guitarists & singers can play this riff & sing both, but he's Eric Clapton isn't he??? He should be able to do it & I don't wanna hear he did it once & doesn't do it anymore!! Get Real!! We get older we could still do amazing things if we put our mind to it! I think it's funny.

Discovery No. 2: Apparently his litle screw-up in the way cool LAST WALTZ movie was not planned & schocking [Miss Gina!]! Excuse me??? Let go back shall we?? I love the BAND!!! Eric loved the BAND, HE WANTED TO JOIN THAT BAND !! HE SAID IT!!! SO they inviting him to their send-off. They're filming!! & what does he do?? I know they didn't plan this, but schocking?? No way. If you've never seen this movie. I implore to just ask yourself, especially all you guitarists out there, how do you strap on a guitar????? The answer: Normally! not like a loon -upside down, as the strap is extremely noticable that it is about to fall. I had no idea when I first saw this movie [which was years ago by the way, not recently, so I knew this a for while], it's during the song Further On Up The Road. Going in I knew it would fall & it did! It was one of the best moments in the history of R'N'R! And of course Robbie Robertson comes in & save the day. Actually plays a decent solo. [So who's God there? Silly!] But it's the funniest thing in the world & this was in 1975 [I hope I remembered that right, if not forgive me]. I'm sorry I revealed that for those who actually haven't seen this movie [why you haven't seen it I don't know]. It's actually hilarious.

I'm not saying you fans shouldn't like him I'm not saying that he shouldn't try new things & work with different people!! But when you're not cool- YOU"RE NOT COOL ANYMORE!! & that's not cool! So I'm done breaking on him. One more thing I saw him playing with Cream ! Mercy. How is it that Ginger Baker looks better than both him & Bruce?? [I actually love Jack, met him some years ago & he was a doll, unlike now , which is why Ginger hates him now!]. Actually he & Jack did one of their greatest records with the best ever Gary Moore called BBM!! What were they thinking hey??? Oh well, that's enough of my breaking on poor Eric! He's touring again & trying to play blues again & hopefully he'll stay away from Babyface. The mere mention of that man on my blecch is sickening enough!

I will say that my fav Eric album is Slow Hand!! Partly because of Miss Marcy Levy who completely wastes him on guitar, plays & sings & wrote Lay Down Sally & the Core!! Talk about another stupid thing he did was get rid of her. Even though she's still kicking ass now!! Let me tell you this, he definitely is & will forever be 'Slow Hand' definitely!! NOT GOD!!

LADY'S HISTORY MONTH! COOL!

I didn't forget this. Now that I've been reminded, I thought I'd let you know about some cool new lady bands that seemed to be making noise without my knowing it. Mind you , they're not very progressive but they are pretty fun & exciting & they all play instruments so that is very cool.

I have a pic here of the legendary NO.1 DRUMMER OF ALL TIME IRLENE MANDRELL. She is still & WILL ALWAYS BE THE GREATEST. I don't understand why there aren't anymore female country bands around. But those country ladys lately have been very cool, but there are some good lady rockers out there so I'd like to tell you about them. Some may sound pop but I would hope they get a little aggresive in due time. I'd like a bigger list but I do believe it will get bigger eventually.

1. 5, 6, 7, 8's -amazing band you may have seen in Kill Bill Vol. 1.
2. the FADERS -great name for British band.
3. the LIKE
4. the SOUNDS [they're dudes in it but they're still pretty good]
5. EISLEY -family bands are still cool.
6. DEVO 2.0 -WOW LITTLE DEVO LADYS COOL!
7. BREAKERBOX This lady kicks!!


They may not be the heavy progressive rock bands I'm waiting for but it's something for now & they're not just little waste's of space, like everyone else is now. They're showing little girls that it's ok to play. that's ok in my book.


I've been in a rampage for all my classics ever since poor cool Bill Beutel passed, so I'll talk about that fiercely in my next bleecchh! Oops, sorry Blog!

IT'S AN OK MONTH FOR MUSIC!

WOW, how fun! Daria & I have been shopping & found lots of neet little things to celebrate & to talk about!
1st: I"ll get this over with the Grammys! Everyone that deserved to lose did, [I should've made bets!-next year I will-any takers?]. So it was an ok nite. I don't know how certain people thought they were going to walk away with the big prize. IT WAS SO FUNNY! The show wasn't great but it still knows how to get the job done. Well done Grammys! Even though you nominate the sucky artists you always do the right thing! [Even though you didn't nominate Lisa Marie Presley you idiots!]

Everyone cool is back! Queen is back, Kris Kristofferson is back, David Gilmour is back, the GO-GO's are back, so overall march has been a very good month. Cool old shows are back! [I've recently purchased the great FAME DVD of their 1st season & no matter what Leroy & Bruno still rule!!]

so I think I'll recommended some cool DVDs even though I hate DVDs & all associated with this technology! But if it must exist it is only fitting that you watch only cool things!

1. FAME -1st season
2. S.W.A.T -1st season [NOTE: NOT THE AWFUL MOVIE THEY DESTROYED LAST YEAR!]
3. WONDER WOMAN -All of them!
4. GREATEST AMERICAN HERO -all of them! [IF YOU DON'T ABSOLUTELY FALL IN LOVE WITH MAXWELL, you need help!]
5. RETURN OF THE CHAMPIONS-QUEEN [if only to prove that they can exist without Freddie!]

Blondie got in to the R'N'R Hall Of Fame, but not without a fight. You'd think they were Creedence Clearwater Revival, now THAT was a fight!

More Stuff to drink in:
The GO-GO's are on their 25th Anniversary tour! Now that is amazing! They still rule!
Apparently Genesis is back too. Let's see how many of them!
Collective Soul is a great band! They were the only decent band to come out of the horrid 90's!
The 'NEW' Cars are sort of back,at least their opening for Blondie & not the other way around!!
David Gilmour's new record is amazing! GET IT!
Too bad he's not doing 'Blue Light'!

Don't you think there's too many cool songs in dumb commercials now??
Process my words, take them in, tell me what you think, because I'll keep telling you ! It's not my best blog but it's ok.
