An exchange from the 1994 movie Airheads: [Chazz and Rex are testing Chris] Chazz: Who’d win in a wrestling match: Lemmy or God? Chris Moore: Lemmy. [Rex imitates a game show buzzer] Chris Moore: … God? Rex: Wrong, dickhead, trick question. Lemmy *IS* God. Well now who can argue with that? Truth be told, there were…
OK bear with me on this one… Pete Townshend’s classic 1980 hit Let My Love Open The Door is not, strictly speaking, a “holiday song” by any imagination. It is, however, a deeply spiritual and extremely uplifting one. Ostensibly a love song, this Top 10 hit from his Empty Glass solo album is indeed about love, but not romantic…
The Flying Fish Cafe, located at the Boardwalk Resort in Walt Disney World, is categorized (by Disney) as a “signature” dining experience, which means everything is priced with an even more outrageous mark-up than Disney is used to getting away with. That’s to be expected, of course, but the even bigger question remains “Is it…
Hi and welcome back for another year of festive holiday musical happy-time! No big hurrah here, no major write-ups, I thought I’d jump right into this year’s selections with an instrumental piece from legendary prog-rock band Jethro Tull. Their 2003 release Jethro Tull Christmas Album is one of my favorite seasonal listens. It’s equal parts Pagan…
So Boots & I were up at the World on Thanksgiving weekend. There was no one particularly driving reason for us to head there, but we were “in the area” so we decided to make a weekend out of it. And when I say “in the area”, I mean “somewhere on Planet Earth”. Like we…
Rating: 5 / 10 Long before Ringo Starr was a Fab Four fixture, or before Love Me Do became their first hit single… before John Lennon proclaimed that the band was more popular than Jesus, or before they were slumming around India with the Maharishi… before their Magical Mystery Tour debacle of a film and…
Two of my favorite albums and highly-acclaimed rock classics were released on this date, forty-five years ago. So, in lieu of any actual content of late, I thought I’d remind you. We’re talking about: The Beatles (aka ‘The White Album’) The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society The way I see it, you could…
Well I’ve been talking about it for a few months, so enough yakkin’ already. Here’s where I start my attempt at doing a tangible bit of good. I’ve started a fundraising page; you can find it at http://www.stayclassy.org/fundraise?fcid=281162. My goal is to raise $5,000 to benefit the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America by February…
Pound for pound, I’d say Love Gun is probably my favorite Kiss album, or at the very least in my Top 3. Everything about it screams quintessential Kiss. First there’s that cover. Look at that thing. Beautiful. Artist Ken Kelly painted it (he had done the Destroyer cover as well) and that is some buttkickin’…
… and been summarily rejected? That issue has been fixed. One of my plugins updated and reset a setting that I specifically turned off. To say that I might be a little annoyed is putting it mildly. I was wondering where everyone had gone… 🙁 Anyway, Comments have been fixed, so feel free to fire…
