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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

LUV, ROZZZZZZZZZZZZ

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

HAPPY HALLOWEENIE!!!!
LUV, ROZZZZZZZZZZ

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

PINK FLOYD lyrics

EEEWWWW IS RIGHT!!! !!!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ROLLING STONE IS DYING!! THANK YOU !!! [NOT THE BAND!]

OH WHAT A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE!! NOW I KNOW YOUR TRUE COLORS! Ever watch Odd Couple? Its the BEST SHOW EVER!!! They seem to be out on DVD, yet the ones that are left are being threatened with the songs that appeared on the show not appearing because of massive publishing fees. Well that bites!! You ought to be honored that your song was even on the damn show! So quit it & let everyone hear you! This seems to be my pet subject. Now after what has been a pretty cool half a year [already????] I've gotten the best news of my life! ROLLING STONE IS DEAD!!! Not the band. NEVER! In fact, the way things are going the band will be around way damn longer than the crapola mag will!! OH JOY!!! OH JOY!!! I CANNOT CONTAIN MY HAPPINESS!! SHALL I EXPLAIN?????????????????????????????????

ROLLING STONE. A magazine that was way way cool, years & years ago! Started I believe by naming itself after the great 'ole band. Why they let that happen I'll never know, especially after they started to suck. At the time, I'm sure it was cool for them, they had no idea that it would ever become bad. So you can't really blame them. And lately you must now never compare them anymore, since the Rolling Stone of today is CLEARLY NOT the Rolling Stone of yesterday. In fact, after RS started to bite [in the early 90s of course],the Rolling Stones should have put their foot down for them becoming as horrible as they got. That would've been a most amazing lawsuit. Can you picture that?? [Dr. Teeth anyone?] Mick: Your Honor, clearly we don't like the direction this magazine has taken & would very much not like our name to be associated with this crap anymore. Judge: Yes it is clear this magazine has nothing more to do with music so I grant in favor of the plantiffs & sentence Rolling Stone to call themselves BonJovi for their remaining years!
Talk about suck!

Now RS is deluding themselves into thinking that if they 'get smaller' [?????] that more people will buy this crap because it'll fit more with other mags in the store. Amazing. What an excuse! 'Yeah uh....I'm not like gonna buy Rolling Stone unless it gets smaller, k.....? ' Don't they realize that people still actually buy the New York Times & thats over 7 feet long?????????????????? OH, they have a circulation of over 1.5 million....[to me that's not a lot especially in this new internet age] but their newsracks sales are slipping.......awwwww, I wonder why? Because nobody wants to buy it anymore!!!! And also because there are still alot of classic rock fans very much alive who absolutely hate the owners of this magazine for abusing the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame! So who knows why!!!

Its not bad enough that RS had already shrunk to a level that make the New York Press, the Metro & AM Daily seem huge. The latest covers alone had took up more than whatever the hell was supposed to be inside. So put someone bad on the cover & no one will care what's inside. OK, they've sort of tried to save themselves as they keep trying by having a few cool covers lately [but again nothing inside] the Police, James Brown, Pink Floyd, etc..... but it's has gotten so lame they need to really shrink it so that you'll know there will be at least more than 4 lousy pages inside!!! WOW!

For years, actually since it began the R'n'RHoF has been run by the owners & the leftover so-called writers who were left after the nineties fall-out of the really great writers who don't write for them anymore. So it's the kid writers who think that music was invented in 90s & are freaked out that RS has been around for more than 20 years let alone 2. These are the people who are voting in our legends in this Hall. Ridiculous. In one of my old bleechs, I revealed my utter hatred for their system hoping that Rolling Stone would die a slow death & I believe because of some of you out there that my dream, in fact all of our dream is coming true!! So I thank you so much for making this possible, I know all you rockers came together to torture them. Even though I wish a slow death upon them I figure whoever is going to be on the cover of the teeny weeny version of the new RS will kill it before I get a chance to beg. So maybe their death will be quicker & I will jump for joy some more. It used to be that being on the cover of Rolling Stone was a dream, a hope of a band, the moment you 'made it'! Now its an embarrassment when you have to be on the cover after Fiona Apple, 50 Cent, John Mayer or Maroon 5, oh joy....ugh! THEY ONLY JUST TALKED TO RUSH THIS YEAR!!! SO who knows how popular they are as of late, we know they have been a challenge to keep going to. But now I think we've grown tired of you! Goodbye!

I'm actually going to think back at the time it was cool even as it was still being run by the idiots. Remember when Fleetwood Mac made probably the best covers ever made for them? When Stevie Nicks got her own cover? When the GO-GO's made the cover & everyone freaked out because they were in their underwear? HANES UNDERWEAR not lingerie!!! When the Police always managed to look good on every cover they were on, even the latest! When Dr. Hook finally made the cover after they wrote that great song. Now go away! Good Riddence! I'll be happy to buy your last few rotting pages & place them under my dog's crap. [oops I don't have a dog but I could use it for something...ah ha, the leaks in my roof! AHHH what a life!]

lyrics

4Q!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4Q! WHAT DOES IT MEAN?? Oh, come on! You cannot be that young! Well let's see,the 4th of July? [which turned out to be very cool by the way], a poker hand? [I don't think so], my ladys QRT might have a 4th member???? maybe, or could it be something quite offensive! [Jackpot!] I think Happy Bunny & I will continue to use this to describe how crazy July has been.

~~~~~~~~~~~

TICKETS!!! BASEBALL!!! RADIOS!!! This is what has been disturbing me as of late. Let's start with the radios. So if it isn't an Ipod..........what do you call it??????? So you're not cool if you don't have something with an I on it. GET REAL! Zunes are apparently sort of cool now, but the one to get is the Creative Zen!! Oh yes!! How yummy, nothing better!!! WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY BETTER!!! Than the stuffy Ipod! You don't have to have an Apple, which is annoying already, it doesn't take 10,000 years to convert everything & Hallelujah!! It records & has a little radio inside! AWWWW!!! Now that's beyond cool. SO what is the problem??????? People are still subjecting themselves to this yuky Ipod! Why do I hate it, simple, because it doesn't have a radio & it doesn't record! So who needs it? There is no point. Done!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tickets. Wow, Stub Hub, Ticket Assmaster & who else is selling, Ebay???? Wow, where is Tickettron when you need them? So it's not bad enough that you get a service charge if you can order the dumb things online [like if this were gas], plus tax & whatever other extra crap charges they decide to stick on there [$1,000 convenience bail, in place of artists getting arrested b4, during or after the show], but now we have idiots like StubHub charging how ever much they feel like it, way over face value & legally???? Do these people happen to own gas????? It's the most ridiculous, ludicrous, company in the history of entertainment. By the All-Star Game these jerks still couldn't get rid of their All-Star seats & there was a nice little empty chunk of empty seats in Yankee Stadium which was shone once & never revealed again for fear that someone would have guessed it wasn't SOLD OUT!!!


So, of course they have hold of concerts & Broadway shows as well & somehow everyone seems to be fine with this. SO when did world get rich all of a sudden? I could just see the credit card debts in the mail. 'Well, I just had to buy that 8,000 dollar left-handed upper deck seat to the All-Star Game & just took it out of my kid's tuition for it'. WOW!! IDIOTS!!![By the way, I can only use this world over & over so as not to say anything worse!]

~~~~~~~~~~~~


My mind has been on baseball. I loved it for years! But then I began to hate it, especially after the strike in 1994 which we didn't have a World Series! [I started to hate it long b4 that but that did it]! I love & miss the classic players. Real players, b4 the age of steroids, not these money-grubbing scum we have now. Jerks who are just in it for the money & not to play . It's not the same it'll never be the same. Yet slowly I'm wandering back into it. Maybe because the Yankees seem to be hot again? Maybe because they're actually some good new kids playing for the sake of playing & not stupidity. Maybe because they have a new fighting manager? [kind of!] What happened to the good fights? I used to love when the managers would lose it over a silly call & go NUTS!! [yeah, so I'm violent, so what!] That went out the window with the old manager. He was too nice, now he's gone. There is some action now, but not enough. Hopefully it'll get better as will Old Timer's Day, which is the only reason to go. Yes, I'm a NYker. Yes I loved the Yankees, the real Yankees.

~~~~~~~~~~~~


Bobby Murcer passed. He was NO. 2 & will always be No. 2. NOT Jeter! I WANT JETER TO GIVE UP HIS NUMBER TO THE REAL YANKEE!! Bobby needs to be inducted into the Hall Of Fame with his Number 2!! He was actually the nicest Yankee & he played for the sake of playing. A great announcer & just a doll! Until these new Yankees learn what the history of being a Yankee is & not mess around for the bucks, none of these Yankees deserve the numbers they carry on their backs.



So here's to the real Yankees & to the new kids who actually have a chance of saving their legacy which for years has been in the toilet!!:

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE WIZZZZZZZZ.....

When I'm not playing drums,rehearsing, writing bleechs, working, sleeping, waking up, researching, complaining about everything, I actually have a life. Here is one day in particular that I just remember quite vividly.

Bleech,......
12:55 pm: Quite unusual. I'm at the Staten Island Ferry waiting on what seems to be an actual line for the Ferry which there never is. The dude cop is trying to 'break it up' but it seems today they want to seem nice & respect. I followed the dude rule so I'm sort of in front yet there's still a line behind me. Weird. Gonna see my friend D, maybe we could walk to the beach.

1:24 pm: I'm riding on the Ferry where it's actually a beautiful day listening to Rhinestone Cowboy on the radio. I'm not on a horse or wearing Rhinestones & I know that would be cool yet I don't know if the horse will make it across this water [for fear it'll turn green]. But it is a beautiful sight. Looking at all the boats, it's a bit chilly, lucky I always carry my scarf. I'm in awe of the boats dreaming that one day I'll be in my own boat (or somebody else's) sailing away, listening to every concievable good song about boats & sailing that exist: Come Sail Away-Styx, Sail Away-Oak Ridge Boys, Sailing-Rod Stewart, Boats Against The Current-Olivia Newton John or Eric Carmen. I don't take pics as I've been on this ride before but I finally have camera after years of avoiding all tech aspects of our new world. I brought my book wth me hoping to read it on the Ferry thinking I'd be sitting & relaxing on here since the weather has been insanely cold lately & it's freakin' May! But noooooo, it's not cold (miracle!), I'm not reading (I'm dying to finish this book, since it's wearing me out), & I'm not drinking my Vitamin Water which I also bought for the trip since I'm the first to stand outside & gaze at the NY water, which for all intents & purposes (?) is not the blue water we all know & love on a day like this, or on a normal ocean. Not even my dark glasses have shaded the water the color it seems to be now. Is it? (removes sunglasses)Green? Yep, it's green. Not even a St. Paddy's Day green, but a Grasshopper drink green (my fav shot of choice until the Mojito came out!!!!??????). I'm in hell waiting for the bus now to see my best friend wishing I was back on the boat. But you can't take a ride back & forth continuosely for a couple of hours without getting off of it each time it docks, that sort of ruins the fun & purpose. But it's still free & you don't have to pay 1 million dollars for the gas that it seems to be going for now & even though it's the same ride back & forth you're bound to see something different everytime. An almost perfect ride. But what gets me out of all of this? The other gorgeous boats? The loons surfing somewhere? The sky & clouds & amazing sun? The Circle Line which always passes by & is surprisingly still in operation because it costs about 8 grand to ride it now? (By the way, as I'm waiting forever for the bus in front of me is a giant sign [& apparently on all bus stops] that says 'Bus Stop No Standing'? How else are we supposed to wait for the damn thing?)? As my day is almost ruined by this bus fiasco & the fact that I took the wrong train down here & its a Sunday when public transportation is virtually useless [& it's Memorial Day weekend]. A bus decides to finally come a half hour later after the boat had left me there a half hour earlier! Meaning had I gotten here a half hour later I wouldn't be pissed off right now. But it's still a beautiful day & I'm still on the boat in my head, sick about the song that is playing on my radio right now, which really sucks & wondering what my hair looks like after I'd gotten it to look perfectly last night when I styled it (styled? Yeah right!) & this morning when I woke & is now probably spiked to oblivion (my usual look) from the beautiful boat wind. There are little maggots everywhere (my unfortunate name for uncontrollable little tikes running amok around the bus I'm on now) but I am not insane now as I am at peace finally hearing a decent song on my radio by the fantastic Bee Gees & I feel great. Still thinking about 'my boat'. (Now I've gone into RR mode which I'm extremely proud of!) I'm thinking of telling the little maggots or whoever owns them to cool it or I'll be forced to throw them out the window, but thankfully without my noticing they have exited. Wow peace again. Another beautiful song comes up & I'm still on the boat thinking I could play the hell outta that song on this boat.

2:26 pm: I wonder if my ladys will fit on this boat. As I'm writing this my little thingy(an old Palm Pilot, not the phone everyone thinks it is, yet I can pretend it is a phone so no one will bug me!) has run out of room for me to write about this craziness. So I start a new excerpt, my fingers hurting which is the reason my hands have turned to mush & realize I'm lost, but I'm not & no joke - I pass by a place called Drum Rd. Cool! Since I'm still on the bus ride from hell, the great Marty Robbins serenades me with El Paso, I think I know where I am. Almost to my best friend who is going to have surgery for a genetic cancerous tumor in her mouth & I try to pray for her all the time. I also think of cute Dick Martin who passed away today, the greatest comedian ever from Laugh-In. Now he's gone & no one will ever know how totally cool he was with all the crapola that's out there now & I turn on the TV & no one is speaking of him when he should've been on the minute I turned it on because he deserves at least an hour of coverage but what do they care dorks! Instead I dream of Dick singing me El Paso. Wow. Now I'm at my stop at Sand Lane.
My point before was while on the boat what struck me was the waves. Not the beautiful waves of the now green water but the waves of the people on the other Ferry almost about to 'kiss' us. Wondering why they're waving & is it generally normal for us to wave at nothing. So I wave to them because no one else is doing it. Maybe they'll like my newly spiked hair. Maybe I'll dig their earrings if I could see them from 10,000 feet away, who knows! What makes us wave? Just the feeling that someone's looking. Or paying attention. Or the fact that they just want to be noticed. Or just a feeling of respect. One waves to be sure that they're not being rude to someone who's probably never going to notice them, none the less they wave. It doesn't matter whether you know what they mean. Are they saying Hello? Goodbye? What's Up? or Yo? They wave. It doesn't matter if they don't know the person, or maybe they do. Maybe they have a friend that is at the Ferry the precise moment the other is passing. In this, the cell phone age, you never know. They wave. So I waved. It was cool. I always do. I'm outta the bus finally & at my friend's door. We hang for the day taking in the sun. Watch a few movies, eat a few sandwiches, talking about everything . Making sure she's ok with the surgery she's about to have. She's afraid because her brother passed of something similar but of course it's not the same. I tell her it'll be ok & tell her of my former hell (the bus ride as well as some older heavier stuff) & just try to get her not to think like that. We have fun, she's falling asleep.

9:47 pm: It's time for me to go back to my boat which at night is so way cooler that I can't wait to see the beautiful view & skyline that is deadly (but because of the number of people on it which is higher than most nights & because of a fight that breaks out so because of this obsurdity I don't move from my seat as I will soon find out). But this time, it'll be chillier, I'll read my book & radio(to no avail), I will drink my water (not a drop, since I'm writing this or typing it whatever you call it now!)& if I could, see if I wave hi to my 'friends' on the other side of the ocean going where I just came from (unlike the ones before I don't have or will ever get a cell phone!-but hey -not even close!) . It may be packed even though it's Sunday (unusually packed late as it is, usually being more empty on nights like this, I find out later with more loons & little maggots), as my best friend in the world walks me to the bus, (which I later find out, isn't so hellish this time but does include the loon from hell drinking & yelling at the top of his lungs because he can) this time my night boat ride becomes a bit hellish as I will soon find out but doesn't kill my mood for the day. My bus comes to take me to the hellish boat ride I'm about to encounter, I get on & think for only 1 second if I'm ever going to see my best friend again (I will at the hospital later in the week) she hugs me, I tell her its gonna be ok. I get in the bus.

I wave.

MOMMY DEAREST SONGS!

Yeah.Happy Mamma's day...& happy birthday to me! Yes, it's just my luck that Mother's day would happen to fall after my birthday so that I'd have to think about something else other than myself on my birthday. But that's cool, because since last year, as some of you may have read, my mom has made up for her indiscretions. Like thinking Roger Waters was Richard Gere, [I'm beginning to think he deserves that since he's been losing it as of late by living in NY & wanting us not to vote for the lady when he's not even an American & not only breaking on ELP but losing his pig once again, I wonder if he Beet it?? [a little inside joke..], thinking Motley Crue hired an old lady to sing for them [although she was on that!].....whatever else she's done, like torturing me watching American Idol faithfully, which is quite sickening. She has since made up for it by just a few little things.

So as I decide to take my mom out to see an amazing Latin artist named Albita once again for her special day, I realized she is walking around singing Hush. ??????? Then I realize this song happens to be in a horrid commercial that has been taking our great classic songs & just destroying them. Of course, she has no idea she's singing the oldest Deep Purple song in the world, so I don't even think to shatter her happiness & don't even have the heart to tell her that the guy who is singing that particular version has disappeared off the face of this planet & doesn't sing the song anymore & that the guy who sings it now I happened to have hung out with before my birthday last year. So she'll never listen to Deep Purple as I don't even listen to them either [except for Highway Star, the video version not the record, nothing will ever come close to that] but it was good to hear that coming out of her no matter how insignificant it was. I remember my sister taking her to see Elton John & I had no idea how she'd get thru that. Not only did she love it & she knew every song but she happened to fall in love with 'this giant cute blond thing that was playing guitar with him' . WHAT?? You mean Davey Johnstone? Serious?? WOW! Impressive! My mom occasionally despite her love of spanish, giant young men will ocassionally dig a real man every once on a while [well what I call a real man!] & Davey comes pretty close, mind you she was far away. Besides I know of no other cute blond things that play guitar with Elton. Like when she thought that this other blond cute thing was singing great in this crazy show. It turned out to be Sebastian Bach, which I straightened her out about really quick. All because he was dressed up. Clothes do not make a man. [Only sometimes]. This from the woman who's favorite Chuck Berry song of all time is only 'My Ding-A-Ling'!

So she's watching TV & as I always do I try to find her something better than what she's watching [like American Idol-ugh!]. I put VH1 Classic & wow something cool, they're playing Welcome To The Machine, so she's into it & suddenly........... 'I know that song'. No you don't! 'Yes I know it', well maybe you do, that's the WALL band! [the WALL band being Pink Floyd of course....because no matter what we all loved the Wall song 'We Don't Need No Education'....because mom thought that he said 'no dark orgasm in the classroom'!], I've heard that before, in fact I heard it this week. Hello?? What were you listening to that anyone is going to play Welcome To The Machine. Maybe she passed by the Wall movie which had been on 18, 000 times that week, she heard that 'sound'...maybe she actually put it on my radio &heard it. No she swears she heard that voice! It's Roger, not Richard Gere!!! Turns out she did it again......but this time correctly. I got it, it's in that movie! The Wall right? Nope. The Minzy movie. The WHAT?? Minzy. Turns out what she's talking about is the movie the Last Nimzy which she's been watching religiously & that just happens to have a song by Richard Gere...dammit...I mean Roger Waters....called Hello I Love You which ends the movie & sounds like Welcome To The Machine. Now in no uncertain terms in my house this is amazingly cool. 'I knew I KNEW THAT SONG'!! It's not the same song but it's that 'sound!' Now that's cool! Since Roger has gone insane lately what with losing his pig & just trashing Keith Emerson [although that wasn't his fault] & going so far as to grow a beard which was a BIG MISTAKE!! He has been redeemed in my eyes, thru my mom. As I was about to lose all my faith in the great Pink Floyd master. My mom has shown me the way! So because of my momma's love of your song & movie I shall not abandon you Roger, now all you need to do is shave the damn beard & go back to looking like Richard Gere & be quiet!

My sis decides to take my mom to the WAX Museum...ugh..& she has a ball. Loving all the famous waxos [wackos] & having a blast. She'd rather hang out with figurines that look like they have 2nd degree burns & she has a blast. So that was cool. My mom had the best Mother's Day & I had the best birthday ever!! So we both scored pretty good! Let's hope it's good, if not better next year.

Happy Mother's Day all!!! Luv, Rozzieeeeeeeeee

ROGER WATERS lyrics

MACYS-WHO GOES THERE? DOUBLE THE BLEECH!!! FOOL!

I missed last month. Was very busy & distracted in the most amazing way. Meaning I owe you a 'Double Bleech'!!! As I missed the ultimate Women's History Month, I cannot help but notice all the women who have made us look bad this year. Maybe this is why the celebration is only one month. I hope this will improve while i point out the huge mistakes these so called women have made!

1st of all the fact that Easter was last month & not after Passover or out the way it should be is just sick. This is what messing with our time change is doing! I don't even know if it's Daylight Savings time anymore because of this crap. To my dismay I didn't get my share of candy corn to drown in. [Oh well, maybe next year!] But maybe this is why these women are just not giving us what they're supposed to. Once again, I DON'T TALK POLITICS! BUT! We're on our way to possibly having the 1st Woman President ever & everybody is blowing it for her. Even maybe her. I would like to see this happen, alot don't. Because of her man? Because of her views? Or because she's a chick? What do YOU think?? There has never or will there ever be any kind of candidacy like this. it wll be a miracle if it is. But if it turns out the way it seems to be going, than it will all have been for nothing. So maybe we can get with it & give this woman a chance to show what she has & not her man or what he did & the idiots who may have ruined this for her.

Take Spritzer's little chick. Who now! Just because she gave him a good old time for a hell of alot of dough, is on her way to becoming the exact version of what that 'profession' is supposed to mean. Now everyone is after her, maybe even Spritzer wants her back [on her back....]& hopefully he will & get her out of our sight, where she belongs. But will that happen?? NOOOOOOOOOO!! THE WHORRRRRRRORERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those Spicy chicks got back together to lipsync for 2 seconds & nobody saw it or noticed so who cares & why?????
I think you may know the rest of these dumb...I don't know what to call them because they're certainly not women or ladys. The last one on the list is the only undeserving non-talent who actually got inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame. I don't care what the little dork said in his induction speech about the ones who didn't believe in her. After 25 years I'm still waiting for her to do a RECORD!!! Something decent-anything that didn't sound the same as everything she has ever done. The only thing that changed about her in her 25 year career is her hair color. Yet she's still blonde! SO THIS IS DESERVING OF AN AWARD? THAT HAS YET TO BE GIVEN TO: HEART, THE RUNAWAYS, ISIS, BIRTHA, GOLDIE & THE GINGERBREADS, SHE, THE SHAGGS, WANDA JACKSON, LINDA RONSTADT, SISTER ROSETTA THARPE, DOLLY PARTON........DO I HAVE TO GO ON?????
Ladys who actually play instruments. In her speech she actually had the gaul to say that she was a drummer, at which point I could see Sandy West & Karen Carpenter rolling in their graves [& something worse-Don Henley smiling somewhere! ugh! you bum!]. 25 years of making the same damn record with machines & maybe a few real instruments & it gets an achievement award, which is what it is supposed to be. We know by now the meaning of which has been lost on the idiot Rolling Stone voters of this particular award. A supposed rock magazine that has only 2 pages left to it & somebody is still reading this crap! So who is going to get in next year? I don't know if I even want to know. But as always, somehow somewhere, someway...there is hope..............

Now a salute, a tribute, an honorable mention to the real ladys who this year will save our history!:
1. BONNIE TYLER: Finally will return to America after 20 years to tour & show these horrendous American Idle girls how to really sing!!!
2. LITA FORD: The Queen of metal is poising to return to the road after siring 2 boys! Which is probably the most insane concept ever concocted for those who do not know the Lita of yesteryear. Yet we know she will not disappoint!
3. BLONDIE: After having the nerve to call her last tour 'the Farewell tour', that they would never play again, something that seems to be on fashion now! Debbie Harry & her boys are touring for an album they released 30 years ago. The Parallel Lines 30th Anniversary Tour. Crazy! & that's what we need. Let's hope they actually feel like playing the entire album unlike the pieces of what Heart did to Dreamboat Annie.
4. the DIXIE CHICKS: Have done a duet with Neil Diamond! What else is there to say??????????
5. SHELBY LYNNE: Her tribute to Dusty Springfield is nothing short of brilliant!
6. WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB: This amazing new TV show is finally returning after that dumb strike!


Pt. 2: MACYS WHY???

I still want Easter & I will have it. On April 20th, the day it should always be! And here's my Easter Happy Bunny! Aww, so it's not so cute. I think it is. I recently got a gift certificate to the legendary Macys, which I thought was pretty cool. I haven't used it yet. Then I realized what could I possibly want there? So i went to look. I also realized I had not been there in quite sometime. Actually perhaps not at all. So I was quite shocked to find out what I wanted to find I couldn't find, in a place I'm supposed to find everything.

Spontaneous-ism should be the most adventurous thing in the world. When you do something without thought but is quite fulfilling. I have very eclectic tastes when it comes to shopping. Something I rarely do only for music. Clothes are a whole other story. Shoes as well. I can admit & proudly I wear things till they wear out, not till their name falls off or only wear it once & throw it away, which I'll never understand. But then again I absolutely do not wear anything with anyone's name on it unless it's a band. Or get a shoe that has a heel on it the size of a toothpick. I need a little more action. So I decided with this little certificate to buy me a little dress. Simple right? Apparently for some this is hard, for me this has never been hard. EVER! Only till I went to MACYS.

Either I haven't stepped foot in there in a long time or I had an aneurysm in discovering how women's taste in clothing has changed. I swore this was my belated April Fool's joke. I was floored. Not only at how, not even hideous some of these colors & looks were, with the remedial brand name plastered all over the dress, ruining whatever look it was supposed to achieve, the effect which even made the poor mannequin sorry it was wearing the thing for dear life. Not only at how many hundreds of women were there shopping & actually admiring these strange prints. Not only how hugely filled the entire place was of all these insane looking clothes, but the fact. The mere fact!! That I don't think I understood any of these dresses at all. I never thought I would need a instructions, a manual, let alone a dictionary that explained to me how & why these dresses were 1: looked that way 2. somehow were going to make me look good & 3. how much I'd actually have to mortgage to try to take these anvils home. I did not find 'the look' I wanted, which at one time was simple: 'Simple': the one dress i saw looked like a blanket. Weird, which is always cool but 'Weird': was unexplainable in another case where it was just ugly; which made me think of a great quote from the Great Muppet Caper in which fashion designer Lady Holiday is appalled at her own creations at one point stating "too many frills we're not striving for the fan-tail pigeon look". Strange usually does the trick but 'Strange' : came in about more colors than I think i have ever seen in a dress, only one! I guess it just couldn't decide which one. Maybe my fashionista skills are in need of some slut tooling but I seriously doubt it. I think I have a great style and just not where that is 'at'.

I was quite frightened. I spent almost 3 hours in a store which has everything that is nothing. Or once was. That was disappointing. But I still have my little gift & I will use it. At one point the shoes scared me [& what's with...you call that jewelry??? what are you on???]. So yes I will go back, but not without protection for fear that one of the dresses may eat me alive.

HAPPY EASTER.........BUNNY......
