Rocklahoma is in the books. The 4 day festival starring the dinosaur bands that time forgot came to a close last night. I'll add some video from the event later today. From the various reports I've read, lowlights of the weekend were Vince Neil's performance (he actually said "Hello, Montana!"), Faster Pussycat (lead singer Taime Downe waged in a legal dispute over the band name with a cancer stricken former member said from the stage something along the lines of "I hope he dies") and a reported (but sadly false I'm afraid) fight between Dana Strum of Slaughter/Vince Neil band and Quiet Riot singer Kevin Dubrow which ended with Dubrow's wig being thrown in a mud puddle. Like I said, that story is most likely false but I so want it to be true.

I made the mistake of watching Bret Michaels Rock of Love on VH1 last night. Some real freaky, trampy chicks on that show. I don't know whats worse, the fact I watched the show or Bret Michaels lame attempt at covering baldness.
Speaking of bald, Homer Simpson will be a guest on the Tonight Show on July 24. I always pictured Homer as being more of a Letterman guy.
Sure Vermont wins the contest to host the Simpsons movie premiere and now it wants to ban nudity. Fascists:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19783221/

Thanks for the American Dog vid post and props sir. I too am bummed that the DuBrow/Stum altercation is not true. I'm more bummed that I'm back to work after an extended holiday break.
This blog is a friend to the OMOM and American Dog. Looking forward to posting the new vid soon. God just imagine how much we'd have with video of the Dubrow/Strumm fight? Dubrow needs to ask Don Dokken where he gets his more life like wigs at. They sure ain't ordering hairpieces from the Bill Shatner collection.
