LUV, LUV, LUV THE HATE.....

So V-day has come & gone already?? Amazing. What did you do on that most holy day? I have been entertaining thoughts of the utmost importance. All I have seen is utter lack of respect in the media. As if we don't know that. Then I wondered how this all started. And I thought maybe Happy Bunny here has the right thought. All in al I can honestly say this is a real bleecch.....

In my book, class works! But classy & fancy are 2 different things... there are things in this world that shouldn't be forgotten & things that I've missed. Still, things seem to be getting out of hand. As I glow in delight & point out anyone's idiocies, it is left to ponder why these inconsistencies are so constant.

It's not rock'n'roll to me. The Grammys were on. Yes I knew someone other than Kane W & Amy would get it. I was shooting for Vince Gill, especially after he let Kane have it in his acceptance of the Country Album award. It was the greatest moment of the night. Beside the fact that Herbie won Album of the Year. So why is this so shocking to everyone?? I wasn't shocked. Were you shocked? They gave the award to someone with talent. [Wow, how shocking]. The nominees were an absolute desert of crap that you could not help but beg for the water that was Herbie. If Herbie or Vince weren't there I certainly would've preferred to die of thirst, anything other than the useless sand that was left. Then the Grammy voters as of late have chosen a slightly different method to their voting system. Yet they still have managed to come through when it counts every time. As long as I can remember watching this show, I've known exactly how they work. When Michael Greene call it quits as their long time producer, I knew it would go haywire. And it did. Despite the changes it still manages to make for some amazing entertainment even though this had to be the all time worst. 50 Years of awards for EXCELLENCE!!! This used to be the case but since it's actually been about sales to a certain extent. That they've managed to forget sometimes, especially with those horrendous collaborations.

NO CLASS!!! I bet poor Frank Sinatra had to have been turning over in his grave after being forced to destroy one of his songs with Alicia Keys. When he was ALIVE they cut his acceptance speech when presented with his own Lifetime Award, now they decide to screw him again when he's dead!???????? ????????????????? THAT'S JUST WRONG! Tina Turner having to show Bouncey a thing or to was fine but shouldn't have been allowed. Even the misguided Time reuniting with the boring Rhianna [What is with that name? You are not nor will ever aspire to be a welsh witch, honey!] must've just been heartbreaking for the musicians in that band. But they'll never admit that will they? 50 YEARS! I think it would have been a blast had they decided to get ALL the Best New Artist winners from all 50 years in one room, if one could still find them. That would've taught them a thing or to. All the things they could've done.... to show just how inconsistent they've been over the years. For Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody to have lost to Chicago's [nothing against Chicago- they will always be fantastic] If You Leave Me Now. For Christopher Cross [he's cool too..] to have won Album of the Year over The Wall by Pink Floyd. NO! Giving a billion Grammys in one night to the fantastic Santana for the worst album he ever did in his life!
RUSH LOST INSTRUMENTAL TO BRUCE STRINGBEAN???? It's like the PMRC when they wanted decided to put a lyric warning label on Frank Zappa's amazing Jazz From Hell album. Smart Tipper, when the album was all INSTRUMENTALS!! Although he did get that Instrumental award! Smart.

I said before & I'll say it again. I used to watch the Grammys to watch all the ones I love win, now I watch it to see all the ones I despise lose!!! It's still a most perfect show because of this otherwise. But 50 Years!! I would've liked to have seen Neil Diamond & Barbra Streisand back for that! One more thing! You guys really have to quit the Rock Solo combo already, this isn't a Happy Meal, it's not even Supersized! It's insulting to all rock women everywhere, we will stage a serious protest if you don't get up off your butts & listen to the records that did come out for that Rock Female Category! You voters need to be plummeted into space! [Insert pow here!-my tribute to a darling writer friend....RR-see if I get any letters...I hope..]

I only have one thing to say about the contro-perversey that is the American Idle past careers[hahahaha] of current contestants. If they wish to have a second chance at sucking that is fine with me!!!
Its not bad enough that one person bought the record before, now they want to go through that again? More power to them. I can't wait for the outcome. Maybe the same person who bought the record before will buy it again, if they're still on this planet & haven't been shamed for life for buying it in the first place.

ROZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

JAN JAN JAN.........

So what's up kiddies??? We made it through another year without any problems, or did we??? SO what shall we talk about in our bleech today? I'm surprised I'm still here & still surprised anyone wants to read this but I have a few fans whom I love so this is for them. I have a few things that are gripping at my guts & the year has hardly started.... where shall we begin??? 1st of all. I need a new mascot & I have not found one. But apparently Happy Bunny has a mean puppy whom I do not like so it won't be him. But I think I could still use Happy since it was such a hit before & there's a few I haven't used yet so I think I'll stick with him.

OK !3 things. 1st of all. This has been bugging me for a bit. This writer's strike apparently going to disrupt the Grammys?? Why?? Why have we ever or still need any actors invading our music space? This has been a problem for years. Now that we've finally gotten rid of them they still want to appear. While I know these will be the worst Grammys in the history of Time, I still don't get why actors or writers need to be involved. So hopefully they'll stay away & we could have a semi-normal musical Grammy show the way it should be. So we'll see what happens. Anyway, I'm of course hoping for miss rehab chick to lose everything because I cannot believe that 'it' seems to be the only good record that came out last year by their standards. SICK!! We'll see. Bunch'a loons.

2-Apparently we have another big tour for our boys again. Now I could go on & explain why this shouldn't happen but that would be wrong but I'm going to explain actually why I think it should happen [It's going to happen anyway...so why not?] Now Def Leppard is a great band. We love them we miss them they rock, they're cool, they're actually still kinda cute [was there ever a question??] & they're BABIES!!!!! Yes, apparently they've all maybe have just about hit 40 or older but in my giant boat, yes they are still children. Kiddies who will have a multitude of big boys opening for THEM!!! Now does that make sense?? You decide! Now I believe I talked about this in my bleech last year but this time it's gone a bit too far. Mainly because their line-up last year was a bit unbelieveable, but this time it's a little more insane. The point being that they should be playing with other kids, other bad horrible bands who really suck like the Killers or Avenge Centerfold or whoever thinks they're the next big thing out there because they're NOT!! These puny bands had a chance to play with the Lepps because they would have tried to go up there & blown them away & when DF finally hit the stage & wasted them, those bands could go home & cry & wonder why they suck like they should've. BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

REO Speedwagon & Styx are going. But taking over for Journey [because Neal [dorkhead] Schon can't decide what a lead singer is to save his freakin' life...] is the Lepps & it's not a fun switcheroo thing like it was either. You know one band will open one note the other will end it & every nite it'll change cooly! NO!! Unfortunately this will not be pretty. Especially since Def Leppard's new record is actually going to be ok & REO Speedwagon's new album is really damn good & some others can't be bothered to write a new record because they are to lazy to do so [especially after their last attempt bit!...but we won't talk about that]so this little line-up just might be a tad dangerous. What is the danger?? I'm actually looking foward to this. I want to see this. NO matter what tour packages, bands, festivals, etc.... anyone puts together it is a challenge. A challenge of the most deadly, its fun for them, but for us & no one will admit this, we want to see who will survive the beating. It's like the time Yes put almost everybody & their mother who was ever in that band [with the exception of 4] on one stage. You had the Howe nuts on one side, the Rabin nuts on the other, the Wakeman loons battling one way & the Kaye loons on another....then the almighty battle of the White/Bruford maniacs & the ultra stupidity of the most ridiculously named fight of all: the Fragile/90125 bands ! ??[?? WHAT??!! I wanted to kill the idiot who came up with that one!!! ]. Jon Anderson refereeing & Chris Squire not giving a crap whatsoever, when he turned out to be the winner!! OVERALL!! How sick is that??? AAhhh the good 'ole days, no one battles like that anymore or do they???.....so we'll see what happens here, as always my bucks are on REO!!! This would not have been the case in 1984.

3- It has come to my attention that the new fangled bad lame-o gig has arisen. The bad gig of yesteryear was the Casino. This is not the case anymore. In the olden days [??] if you played a casino you were either a has-been, washed-up & no one ever would ever hear from you again. Las Vegas & Atlantic City weren't cool places to hang, they were places to gamble, dangerous places one would not step foot in if you had any sense. Now they're actually very cool places to hang & see a show & gamble & do all kinds of stuff. Like vacation................????????? Weird. Anyway. AC & Vegas are cool places now & if you're a band there's not a bad stigma anymore if you suddenly play those places anymore. [Also-since there's a whole lotta moolah around there, they could actually afford to play the ridiculous concert prices that exist now.] Now the new ultimate 'you suck & nobody cares about you anymore' gig is da da da da.... the dreaded ICE SHOW!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

yes, the Ice show. Skaters dancing, oh no-rather skating to your music while your band or excuse me-while you lipsync to your songs on the side of the stage....in other words, there's no way in hell that the audience is there to see you, but to see the Skaters. Yes, they are talented sportspersons & what not. But wow, when did this get so bad??? While most concerts all over the world are played in skating rinks or arenas, the separation has always been constant, until now. Case in point: A bunch of skaters, famous ones have been putting on shows for, I don't know charity [I hope], glory, to compete in the Olympics, to practice?? Filming these & showing them on TV which is fine, but they have their hours.... a whole hour dedicated to the music of Seal!! ?? No they're not skating to his records which would make more sense. But Seal was actually there singing to his songs while these skaters were there 'dancing'. I didn't see a band, but it was heartbreaking. Seal was kind of cool once. Now?? A Sk8 r boy?? EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW... I cannot believe I just wrote this on my bleech BLEEECCCHHHH!!!!
This has to be stopped. This cannot go on. We have to save Seal & any others from participating in this gut-renching activity. It just doesn't rock! The only time this worked out was in the movie Flashdance, when the skater girl [RIP-yes she passed on..] in the movie did her dance to Gloria by Laura Branigan even though she kept falling on her ass & Miss Branigan was not there [RIP! same here] it was a brilliant scene of music & skating. Its not the greatest movie ever but it will always be one of my favorite movie scenes of all time. It was filmed beautifully. Yet this is not the movies, this is real life!! STOP IT OR YOU WILL BE DESTROYED!!!!
NO MORE BAD ICE SHOWS!!! ROCKERS STAY AWAY FROM THE ICE SHOW OR YOU WILL KNOW YOUR FATE & BELIEVE ME SO WILL WE!!!!!!!!

BRANIGAN LAURA lyrics

Well ,that's my Jan rant, I can't believe it's almost gone already. untill next time kids..... chow....
ROZZIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I MADE IT-HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Happy new year,kiddies.....I can't believe I made it, let alone us. I wanted to write such a big end bleech...BUT with all that's happened it's been so insane I forgot everything.

But I think I can come up with a few things, starting with the best DVDs of the year. Apparently that seems to be the list now. I haven't done one since VHS, but I'm not that old, or am I?????????????

There were a lot of cool shows this year & I'll do that as well. I did manage to go to a few this year as well so I'll end with that. ny record list?? It's on my myspace [which is rather disturbing....]. But they were worth it. Otherwise it was a most incredibly sucky year for music, more so than ever & once again I was hard-pressed to even find a few good records let alone 10, but some very cool bands still exist & they still managed to put out a few good things.

But that's too pretty. So of course I have to start out with the dumbest things that happened this year list!! Now that's more like it. I think I'll call it IDIOT OF THE YEAR!! Let's face it folks, there were a lotta idiots this year & we know who they are, but even more so than 'them' there were MORE others!! HA!! So they'll be who I will mention here, because only cool idiots get to be mentioned in my bleech!! So HAPPY BUNNY's here & here we go!!!!!

IDIOT OF THE YEAR AWARDS!!! [I can't even figure out the order!]

1. NEAL SCHON-JOURNEY: Apparently this guy cannot get the message! Either make Jonathan Cain the lead singer of Journey or quit it!! There no one else we want to hear sing Journey songs but STEVE PERRY!! OK!!! But noooooooooooooo!!! He has to go find another loon to take over because he doesn't want to make another solo album [thank GOD!] but I think some people would get it if he did one, especially if he didn't sing. But MERCY!!! how many loons are you going to fire & get to sing?? SICK!! What else can I say. I take it back this is NO.1 !!!!!

2. Pete Dorothy [????]] First of all, who is this guy??? What band does he sing for & why is he famous??? Well, he's apparenly famous for constanly getting busted for drugs. Fine! And not only dating the queen of drugs also. But I guess that's how you get famous now isn't it. I don't know I don't get it, I probably do know his name, but the fact that I even mentioned the idiot, he should be so lucky. So whoever tells me that they like his songs or his band I will be very shocked if he could even sing with all the drugs he takes.

[this is actually starting out to be in perfect order....]

3. AMY WINEHOUSE!!! Oh mercy...what can I say...This is so pathetic!!! Who is buying this crap??? & why is she getting 18 Grammy Nominations for being an addict???? You know there are addicts out there who get clean make a life for themselves & actually do want to live, I don't care how old they are, now THEY deserve awards, not this thing!! I happened to try to sit thru some insane concert she gave on MTV, which was so hilarious I couldn't believe it. That poor band. I felt so sorry for them having to try to play something behind this. But I guess anyone will take a gig also huh?? Yes, I have some morals, or none at all, I keep mixing them up.... I don't know. I can take new artists if they're talented. I don't see it there. So please don't even try to explain this.

4. LILY ALLEN: Another one, but for different reasons. Oh she wants to quit music. Good! Put us out of our misery! You have contributed nothing! We don't need any more whining singers who don't like the business. We had Alanis we don't need anymore.

5. LARRY KING: HOW DOES THIS GUY HAVE A TALK SHOW WHEN HE DOESN'T LET ANYONE SPEAK????? UGH!!!

6. THE HOLLYWOOD WRITERS: OK, I'm not actually calling them idiots for striking. But I am thanking them for doing so, because I wouldn't even want to be working for nothing trying to write anything for these horrendous TV shows that are on now!! So maybe they'll put us out of all our miseries & someone will put some decent TV shows back on the air because nobody cares! I only care about David Letterman & he's coming back so that's fine!

7. TO ALL THE KIDS, who actually bought Britney's new record.... ARE YOU INSANE??? I hope you'll grow out of this!!!

8. KID ROCK & TOMMY LEE: Even though it was the greatest fight of the year, we're still not quite sure who won, my money's on Kid.

9. NEXT GREAT AMERICAN BAND: Wow, I don't know what to say. They wanted votes for a BAND!!! Yet they give it to a bunch of acoustic pretty boys. Not a band at all. SICK!! I would've rather seen the Stupidnova look-a-like win. Honorable mention: Goo Goo voter, the Paula of the show. The worst choice ever for a panelist. Sik!!

10. 50 cent & Kayne West: Too bad their fight didn't generate the result they promised.....to quit the business...now more of their whining when they lose awards...

HONORABLE MENTION: PAUL MCCARTNEY:
NOT because he's finally getting divorced,
NOT because he just released the dumbest dvd of his life, instead of releasing ALL of the fantastic ROCKSHOW, he only places a quarter of it in this thing,
NOT because he's messin' all over the place, which is fine,
BUT BECAUSE HE'S DATING ROSANNA !!!!! TOTO's ROSANNA???????
PETER GABRIEL's ROSANNA????
Doesn't he get it by now??????

OK, I'M DONE-NOW FOR THE FUNSTUFF...
TOP 10 CONCERTS:
1. WNTDTYR-CASINO RAMA
2. POLICE/FICTION PLANE-MSG [even though Sting's vocal was way louder than the band, it still was amazing & his kid kicked his ass!!]

XOXOXOXOXOXOROZZIE..............

THANKSGIVING THANKS U FOR SUCKING, U SUK!!!!

Outrageous!!!! I don't believe I've missed anything since I've been gone. Alot of sick things have happened. They are noteworthy. For those who don't know, I got a taste of the machine....but I have been saved......just in time for Turkey day. For that I shall dedicate this latest bleech to all the turkeys out there who've made this year what it is today.
So HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! I have lots to be thankful for more so than usual, besides the usual family & friends & I would like to list them all. For those who know me, you'll know what it's about.....Feel free to join in...if I forgot anything.....

1. THANK YOU.....to Jimmy Page! For breaking his little finger before another massively hyped Zep reunion broke down on its own & no one needs to see. Proving once again that another show they put on will suck.

2. THANK YOU.....to Alex Van Halen! For proving to me he's one of the worst drummers of all time & not playing the intro to ">Hot For Teacher correctly!!! HA HA HA!!! & kudos to his brother for just being the insane lunatic we all knew he was. [even more shocking were the keys being lowered, ugh...]

3. THANK YOU.....to all the drinking & driving famous jailbirds for completely losing their minds proving they were the worthless, talentless & useless sluts they've always been. U NO HOO U R!!!

4. THANK YOU....to the bEAGLES for kicking everybody's ass the 1st week their record came out. With of all things, a chain store!! How anyone still loves them is beyond me [although they are still very good looking]but for 700,000 people to buy that in one shot? That's amazing. Also to DON FELDER for putting out his book at the same time about what a bunch of idiots they were for kicking him out....

5. THANK YOU.....to the CMA awards & for not asking Robert Plant to appear with Allison Krauss even though they have a great No.1 record together....
......unlike the VH1 Rock Honors
for having Redneck Woman Gretchen Wilson blow away Heart with her dead on version of ">Barracuda [which was actually cool].....& actually giving an award to ZZ Top [which wasn't!]. For what almost surely would've been the end of rock'n'roll.

6. THANK YOU.... to Sheila E, despite being on another awful talentless show, she had the good sense to tell one Stupidnova look-a-like band what was really important in their band-">their bassist & guitarist-THE GIRLS!!!!!

7. THANK YOU.....TO VH1 Classic-continuing their reign of terror sinking by promoting utter fake bands!! AM I the only one whose had enough & is extremely tired of this????? 1st Platinum Weird, now Rock BandBand??? Have we turned into gerbils people???? Like the Gorillaz weren't bad enough. Now this stupidity....the game may be ok but mercy....STOP!!! One more fake band & I will be forced to sue you & set a precedent for just being completely sick!!

8. THANK YOU....to GOO GOO Doll dork whatever his name is...for being about as useless a judge on Next American Band as Paula is on Idol crap. These 2 voting on shows about singers & musicians is like asking one of these boozing driving worthless whores to pilot the Space Shuttle.

9. THANK YOU.....TO QUEEN,for finally putting out a decent version of the most insane show they've ever done in Montreal. When this 1st came out on VHS & the 1st version of the DVD, it looked like the darkest show, the most boring audience & boring place to film a show. It also looked like they were lip-synching. Of course this wasn't ">Queen's fault. They could play on a table & still be amazing. Apparently the director didn't know who or what the hell he was filming. But all the flaws have been fixed with the exception of one. Brilliant!

10. THANK YOU .....for 7-7-7 for telling me just how old I am......

11. THANK YOU.....To our STYXFEST friends in crazy CANADA.....for making my our Styx ">WNTDTYR band seem like the real thing, which we certainly were...what a blast......

12. THANK YOU....TO GRAHAM RUSSELL....for finally putting out his wild solo album & telling everyone just how crazy he is...& his AIR SUPPLY boys for giving me one hell of a year & finally doing at least a quarter of my all time favorite song Young Love......

13. THANK YOU......to DAVID LEE ROTH for holding his head high even though he got screwed out of his Rn'RHoF award &having to go back to VH. Even though he didn't deserve it.

14. THANK YOU .....to Miss Jenny & 3 Card Monte for bringing me back into the fold....awesome....

15. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU..
....FINALLY....
TO MY QRT LADYS FOR PROVING TO ME WHAT I ALWAYS KNEW -
THAT WE ARE THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD!!!!

With that said, Happy Bunny & I wish you all a great turkey day!!
luv, ROZZIE.............

HALLOWEENIE TIME AGAIN????

Well, here's Happy Bunny helping me to bring you a special greeting for Halloweenie this double-0 seven!
There's a lotta stupidity going on in the music world & it's all about dumb guys. But hey, there are a few dumb girls out there too. I think we all know who they are & they're the last thing I'm going to talk about on this very cool bleecch. But at least someone's on my side. Like my very special bud in Canada Miss Angell!! Probably the coolest blogger in the Northern land. Thanks for the support Miss Angell, you rule my world.

But what must we talk about this very special sacred Halloweenie time??? What's the scariest thing to talk about this most cooliest of moments?? That dumb new Next American Band show? Which is just sickening! These solo albums by dorks who I thought were solo in the first place but it turns out they actually have bands even though they still suck solo????? Ugh no too scary! The fact that Kane East is outsellling a Quarter or how ever much he's not worth. Let's hope they both quit for all our sakes!!! Or the fact that Jello is still trying to sing & now touring & not feeding her poor husband??? SICK!! That it's bad enough they're destroying Yankee Stadium but now Madison Square Garden??? I don't know, how about Murder??? EEWW!! Don't freak? I've been watching this completely awesome new show called Women's Murder Club on the tele & I don't know why but it's very cool. With the exception of one bad actor [the lead's ex & boss in the show -ugh!! yuk!! AAHH!! bleecch!!]it rocks. I haven't seen TV since they canceled Remington Steele. But occasionally something cool will appear every 10 years [like Blind Justice, which was really cool & I miss!]. But of course that got me to thinking what is only on my head!!! MURDER!!! SONGS!!! SPOOK TIME!! LET"S ROCK!!

What are the coolest Halloweenie songs about murder & witches & cool stuff like that??? No not Welcome To My Nightmare by Alice, even though he is the MAN!! I have a few others in mine for this very HALLOWEENIE WEEK which unfortunately I have to miss. But I'll be listening....

1. VICTOR-BLONDIE -This has to be without a doubt one of the greatest if not the best spookiest song EVER!! Just hearing Debbie scream over & over & over is nothing short of brilliant!!

2. DON"T LEAVE ME NOW-PINK FLOYD - If the line 'I need you to beat to a pulp on a Saturday night' doesn't scare you then you have no feelings!!

3. RHIANNON -STEVIE NICKS - Queen witch!

4. RAGE-HEART -Gotta hand it to Heart, they do write lots of spooky songs. This is one of their angriest.
Nothing is better than hearing Ann Wilson screaming 'RAGE!'.

5.NIGHT MOVES- MARILYN MARTIN -If no one remembers this song they may remember the videos which was almost as scary as the song. In the video she plays a murderess who not only kills her prey [lots of dudes] but hangs them all & saves them in a warehouse in the scariest most incredible ending ever in a video.

6. AND WHEN I DIE-Blood Sweat & Tears -I don't know how they came up with this version of this song but it rocks. Laura Nyro wrote this about death but they somehow made it fun.

7.WHERE THE WILD ROSES GROW-NICK CAVE & KYLIE -Yes, THAT Kylie. But she isn't whining on this particular song as she's about to be murdered by the guy singing with her who loves writing songs about death. Beyond creepy!

8.THE RIPPER-LITA FORD -A very scary fantastic song which was so weird she didn't even sing it live. She played the entire song live as an instrumental & it just featured her amazing lead.

9. THE VICTIM-PAT BENATAR -She doesn't even know how great this song is. Just a poor girl doing everything wrong. BRILLIANT & LOUD!!

10. HYPNOTIZED-FLEETWOOD MAC -Nobody does spook better than Fleetwood Mac & even before Stevie they had someone way scarier looking in Bob Welch. But he managed to be brilliant in the amazing stuff he wrote for them even though he was forgotten at the R'n'R Hall Of Fame.

11. MURDER-DAVID GILMOUR -He just loves writing songs like this. Starts of slow then MURDERS YOU!!! The sick bastard!!

12. NOW IT"S MY TURN-BERLIN -There's something to be said when the crime of being hurt can go to trial. Incredible.

13. IT'S EVERYTHING BUT PARTYTIME -GO-GO'S - The most amazing song about everything that could every go wrong in life that's scary. Tremendously spooky.

14. GYPSIES, TRAMPS & THIEVES -CHER -The coolest song about the coolest people on earth.

15. QUEEN BEE- BARBRA STREISAND -The best song in the world about a spider. [besides Boris -the Who]

16. SPIDER WEB -JOAN OSBORNE -The creepiest song about her dream that Ray Charles got his sight back. Wild.

17. SWEET FIRE OF LOVE -ROBBIE ROBERTSON & U2 -This song is extremely spooky for the fact that Robbie's voice just makes you want to DIE!

18. ROLAND THE HEADLESS THOMPSON GUNNER-WARREN ZEVON -SICK!

19. HELL IS FOR CHILDREN -PAT BENATAR -There is nothing scarier than Pat yelling 'hell' over & over again!

20.VICTIMS-CULTURE CLUB - This is still one of the saddest songs & the greatest Culture Club song ever!

21. ALL YOU ZOMBIES-HOOTERS -INCREDIBLE!!

22. HELL-SQUIRREL NUT ZIPPERS - I cannot emphasize how vicious this is!

23.MONSTER-FRED SCHNEIDER -The most hilarious funny spook song ever!

24. I"M SCARED-BRIAN MAY -WOW!! IN this song Brian just loses it as he tells the world he's basically scared of everything! BEYOND GENIUS!!

25.TWILIGHT ZONE-MANHATTAN TRANSFER -A cool scary jazz song. Wild!



THE WORST!!! Do I have to explain why?????:

1.ALL HELL'S BREAKIN' LOOSE-KISS -VERY SCARY!

2.THE END -THE DOORS -GET REAL!

3.BAD MEDICINE-BON DORKFACE-VERY BAD!

4.POISON- ALICE COOPER -Alice you're the master but you blew it with this one.

5.THRILLER -SORRY IT SUCKS, VINCENT PRICE IS ALL THAT MAKES THIS!

6.GHOSTBUSTERS-Ray Parker Jr. -The worst artist in the history of music.

7. Halloween-DAVE Matthews Band -COME ON!

8. Devil's Haircut-Beck -Please!

9. Superstition-Stevie Wonder -Boring, sorry, especially every single version of this song done by every other artist!

HAPPY HALLOWEENIE KIDDIES! Give me your list.....

SHOULD WRITERS LIE IN SONGS??????

WOW, it's September already....how sick kiddies. It's all going by too fast. But I'm having me a good time. Saw my boys again. Had a blast. I don't think it'll get any better but it just might. Anyway, this got me to thinking something quite strange. I've heard song after song after that are funny, exaggerated & downright insane, songs you probably wouldn't believe. Then of course, there are your truthful songs, songs people believe with all their hearts because maybe the writer said it was a true story. Fine.
BUT!

What IF the song is a lie??? Does this make sense??? Does it matter? I think it does a bit. I have NEVER EVER questioned lyrics ever. One-because I hardly have ever listened to lyrics & sometimes do not realize what I'm singing sometimes & 2-I personally don't care what they're saying, I'm into the musicianship. Of course this is another story. Yet lately there has been this constant search lately for the 'TRUTH' because no one seems to care about anything else. Especially since songs lately have no meaning whatsoever. There's no truth in it because there's no sense in it, no feeling , no meaning. Now folk songwriters have a history of writing nothing but true stories, political or otherwise. Then there's bands that mainly write about sex & just getting laid or whatever, I guess that true to a certain extent. But who knows.. Are love songs all true??? Torn Between Two Lovers? How Much I Feel? . Have you heard this song?? It's by AMBROSIA?? It's one of the greatest songs ever written because it's so SICK!!! He actually says in it at about the 3rd verse or something...apparently talking to his ex, says to her 'I got a wife now & years we've been growing strong, but there's something that I've got to say, sometimes when we make love[meaning him & his new wife] I can still see your face [meaning his ex]' ! WHAT??? That's insane. I wonder if this is true. This song has shocked me for years. I still can't believe it. It's a damn good song though. What constitutes truth in a song? Because it's political or sexy? Is there a song that's unbelievable? Besides the sucky ones that have no meaning. Should all songs be true??? Should they be lies???

Of course, this brings up a million lying songs. A trillion in country music. 'Lies', 'Lie To Me[Jonny Lang]', 'Liar [Queen]', 'Lying To Yourself[Asia]'. I love mythical songs. We know songs are basically 'made up'. Writer is just a fancy word for it. Everyone is making this stuff up, regardless of whether it is true or not. Or whether it happened to them or someone else. I'm extremely curious. I have my faves. What do you think?? Songs that are true are better some may say. But I don't know. Songs that suck
should be lies & probably are. Because they're unbelievable that they can be that bad. Here are some songs I think are complete lies but are great. Unfortunately some are love songs.

1. HOW MUCH I FEEL- AMBROSIA -the most famous song on my list that I still find insane. As I mentioned before. It is unbelievable that a man would talk to his ex & tell her that he still sees her while he's 'with' his new wife. CRAZY!! That boy would get his ass kicked today. I guess they didn't care about that then.

AMBROSIA lyrics

2. KEEP ON LOVING YOU-REO SPEEDWAGON - What man in the world will stay with a woman who constantly messes around??? When that's all MEN DO???!! I think I believe this one, I'm still not sure.

3. JENNIFER/LORELEI-STYX - The man who wrote these 2 songs swears he only writes love songs for his wife. THAT IS NOT HER NAME!!!!
How is he still alive?

4. SEX [I'm A...]-BERLIN- She's saying she's all these sick things. HE???
'I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man'.....Hey dude? Is that all you can say???? I guess so...

5. MAMA-GENESIS- When he says it's 'I won't hurt you mama but it's getting so hard, OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! HA HA ! UGH! Mama don't go'; would you stay????

6. LIZZIE & THE RAIN MAN-TANYA TUCKER- An old country song where the man tries to impress his lady by telling her he could make it rain in the town she lives in...... & he does... wild!! Great drum solo!

7. LACE & LEATHER-GRAHAM RUSSELL- From his new solo album. Only he knows why.

8. SAY YOU LOVE ME- FLEETWOOD MAC- 'And if you use me again it'll be the end of ME'?? Oh come on, no woman in the world thinks like that anymore.

9. The ROCKER-THIN LIZZY- 'I kissed her right there ....& she said I'll do anything for you cause you're a rocker' ???? Yeah, right.
I don't think so.

10. BLUE LIGHT-DAVID GILMOUR- Right before he rips into one of the greatest guitar solos EVER! He has the nerve to actually say 'I don't know if I could get into this funky sort of thing, but sometimes when a new inspiration sparks, I can get down with the best of them'. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!!


THE WORST LIE SONGS:

1. KISS ME DEADLY-LITA FORD-Probably the worst song she's ever sang, but did not write. Lucky her. After not getting laid & being in a fight, I think that IS a BIG THING, don't you think???

2. ALL I WANT TO DO IS MAKE LOVE TO YOU-HEART- Another horrendous song that completely unbelievable which they did not write either but were forced to sing because Don Henley wouldn't sing it. Like he would sing this crap. Anyway, for some woman to pick up some dude & go to a hotel just to get pregnant is beyond me.

3. Baby I'm-A Want You- BREAD- No I don't want you if you sing this to me.

4. Sexy Back-Justin Timbaland- Who ever told you that not only you were sexy, that it was somehow gone & also that you needed to bring it back & made you believe it, is a blatant liar!!!!
5. Gimmie More-Britney Shears- Of What?????? Underwear???

There's more but I can't think now. Tell me what you think. I personally don't care if the song is a lie as long as it's good but I wonder if it's hypocritical. Or who cares right? You tell me!

ROZZZZZIEEEEE!!!

YOUNG LOVE...................

Mercy mercy, what can I say. I didn't think this month would come & go but it ain't over yet. WOW, so August turned out not to suck after all. How are you kiddies? I've been a little crazy lately & I have to say I myself am sick about talking about these dumb bands who are just not real lately so I'm not anymore, but I have to say ,a very cool law was just past that seems to be controversial because of course, there are other issues in this world which are more important but I think this is pretty important & I for one am glad it was passed. Tell me what you think. I DO NOT TALK POLITICS ON MY BLOG FOR ANY REASON! Even though it has nothing to do with it. But believe it or not it has to do with what seems to have been my favorite subject lately FAKE BANDS. But this is quite interesting. But its all I'm going to say about it. I just wonder if it will apply to who I think it should & I think y'all know what I mean.

Anyway, I had me one hell of a month & it's not even over yet. Yes, I'm one hell of a drummer, yes I hardly talk about my drumming exploits & my ladys & dude & yes, I have this crazy blogs that I just go on & on about everything else about, but I think maybe it's because no one has really asked me about my drumming. So I just keep it to myself. If you wanna know about my secrets just ask. I may tell you, so who knows. But for now, I have lots of stories. Lots of good ones. I have a really cool one I must say is pretty cool.

First of all I want to say, I love progressive rock & I love country music. I love it all but I certainly have my favorites. When it comes to playing drums but when it comes to listening it doesn't change much but when you have one song you just love & can never get out of your head. You listen to it almost everyday, if not all the time. One song that can just make you so crazy you don't know what else to do when you hear it but dream? When I was little & started playing drums, I remember never wanting to hear any song unless it had lots of drums in it. Then I started to appreciate the music more. What's really funny is there turned out to be certain songs I loved that didn't even have drums in it, which is pretty incredible. But the song in question that I'm speaking of is...... I won't even mention it until I tell the story.

I'm not sure when I first heard this song. It might even have been the video I saw 1st. But all I know is that I went crazy, completely when I heard it. [By the way, I like old videos, better than new dumb fake videos that have all this computer crap in it, ENOUGH!!!] To this day, I melt hear it. I doesn't sound old, it doesn't sound bad, it doesn't sound boring, it's exciting, it's a perfect song. It's a love song. I myself, have never liked love songs myself. But some are very cool of course. I'm not one to listen to lyrics either, I'm am all about the music. I have to admit I don't care what they're saying or who they're saying it to or what they're talking about [this-unfortunately gets me into lots of trouble when I sometimes do not realize what I'm singing sometimes, then I usually go, whoa, did I just say that???] I just don't care, I don't know why. Since I became a drummer, that's all I've ever cared about. How the music is put together, the structure, the count,[not even the count] the notes, every single inch of the sound is so important to me, that yes, I DO NOT realize what they are saying & I'm still finding out. {I'm into instrumentals, which I totally used to hate, I don't know why either, yes, I have a very strange brain but don't we all????????]And it's not a 'it's got a great beat & you could dance to it' thing either....GET REAL!!!!!!

This song has fantastic music, it's quiet, it gets loud, its quiet again then it blows up, its wild. It fades. So I wondered how AMAZING this would sound live, but I found out a while ago, that the band who recorded this particular song, since the song was recorded, had NEVER played this song live. EVER!!! ???????????????
I refused to take this of course & somehow, someway, somewhere in my insane mind. I was determined to somehow try to make them play this song live. For me! If I could. ????????????????????????????

How??????????? I don't know but it happened. Yes, it's Air Supply again. They've always been an amazing live band. They've also been very friendly with their fans that's an amazing thing now when you can't really hang out at shows anymore like you used to [but then there ain't a band out there now left that's even worth wanting to greet for any reason anymore]. I constantly go see them, they're lots of fun live & they kick major ass. They just are. So I would always say hello to them & talk about my song. I'd ask & they'd say 'Oh no one knows it' which is so wrong. Everyone knows it, they just didn't realize it. So I kept reminding them & then last year, said they would rehearse it, which was very exciting but that was last year. Then they told me they were going to do it but not the whole thing. Who cares, I didn't care how, I wanted to hear it. & they did it. At a beautiful indoor/ slightly outdoor church in surprisingly beautiful Ocean Grove, NJ. They did it first at Mohegan Sun last month but I got to finally hear it here.

SUPPLY AIR lyrics

The writer of the song himself doesn't seem to understand why this song is so special to me. I'm still not quite sure myself. All I know is that I hear Graham's voice & I melt. But I practically begged & begged & somehow I got it. But I know there was no other thought in their heads from anyone else about this song. So in a way that is extremely special & I do feel a bit responsible. So I will forever be grateful for that night. All I was really trying to do was get them to let my ladys to play the song for them. Way cool. It's a beautiful song, there's just something about it that makes it incredible. I hope you could find it & listen to it & ' know the way that I feel'................. Thank you Graham again for doing my song..............

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The only way this is working right now is :

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

WEoRBL

PLUG IT IN YOU WUSS!!!!

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

WATERS ROGER lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

MAMA MIA!!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I love you mama,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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