It's Rocklahoma Day One! C'mon feel the noize! I SAID FEEL IT!....that's better. Still nothing on the show in the Pryor, OK paper but I did find an article from the Tulsa World. Seems cowboys like their hair metal more than they like country:http://www.tulsaworld.com/entertainment/article.aspx?articleID=070707_8_H3_NoArt00052
Todays lineup was added at the last minute and doesn't feature anyone of note. Mainly tribute bands....sigh.....Tomorrow is Poison, Ratt, White Lion (or Mike Tramp's White Lion...don't wanna get sued by Vito Bratta), Y&T and (GROAN) Slaughter. Complete weekend lineup here:http://www.rockfeverfest.com/artists.php
I wish the people of Pryor the best of luck. Now Oklahoma is home to more than steers and queers (thanks Officer and a Gentleman)...its now home to washed up hair bands and their aging, balding fanbase. One of the organizers predicts crowds of 40-50,000 a day...that sounds like a more realistic number for the whole weekend. I can't help but think a place like Michigan where Poison regularly sells out sheds would have been a more ideal location for an event like this.
She's young, she's hot...she likes girls? Oh Lindsay Lohan won't you just fall off the face of the earth...or make a video I can see on the net:http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/bwiddicombe/2007/07/11/2007-07-11_lilos_myspace_gets_invaded.html
Oh Kramer.....so full of wacky stunts. Try not to slur the natives while you find yourself:http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/celebrity/la-et-richards13jul13,1,6192959.story?coll=la-headlines-entnews&ctrack=4&cset=true
The Firefighers union is going after cross dressin' Rudy...burn baby burn!:http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/07/11/firefighters-take-on-giuliani/
The only reunited act not at Rocklahoma is al Qaeda now back on the road and stronger than ever...Heckuva job there Dubya, heckuva job:http://breakingnews.nypost.com/dynamic/stories/U/US_TERROR_THREAT?SITE=NYNYP&SECTION=HOME
Yes we're losing the war on terror and the war in Iraq....Bush wages war like that team that plays the Globetrotters:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19723307/

Jim Morrison is still dead.....yet the circumstances surrounding his death from heroin and bad poetry are being reexamined:http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2007/07/10/jim-morrisons-death-may-be-reinvestigated/
Hardly known rocker Glen Burtnick has put a band together that'll play all of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Beatles masterpiece. Dear Lord make them stop....1st it was the Fab Faux which features David Letterman show bassist Will Lee..then it was the Smithereens releasing a record where they play all of Meet the Beatles...Bands with record contracts or tv gigs should not be allowed to become cover bands.
More crap as it happens.....

I keep picturing all those Rocklahoma bands crawling out of the sewer like some middle-aged balding C.H.U.D.'s, lumbering into their minivans and sweating thru their makeup and wigs in the Oakie sun.
1. I didn't realize (S)Laughter was still around and 2. If Great White makes an appearance, Pryor may want to have additional fire fighters on call.
I'll be amazed if they draw 30,000 total for the weekend. I'll be holding Roblahoma (aka OMOMlahoma) this Saturday at the compound. I'm estimating crowds of up to 80, which will probably outdraw tonights cover bands in Pryor.
Well, lets face it OMOM...you've booked better entertainment. Concert numbers have been hard to find lately but I saw Poison and Ratt only drew around 3 grand to the 15,000 seat Bilo center in SC. Unless Sherman and Peabody show up in the way back machine and takes us back to 1987, Rocklahoma could be a disaster.
What kills me is message boards are flooded with posts from dorks asking what network is broadcasting the shows. Who wants to show this even as a webcast?
The good news for Great White is that Oklahoma has been deluged with rain so it might be hard for even them to burn everything in sight. I guess had it not been for Great White, in theory, at least 100 more fans could have made the trip to Pryor from Rhode Island.
Hey, when you said Sherman and Mr Peabody failed to draw in SC, I thought you meant the OTHER Sherman. You know, the one who blazed thru GA. In that case, put Great White in the time machine and send them back--he could sure use their expertise when it comes to teaching them damn rebs a lesson or 2. An added bonus--they'd all think the band was sent by Satan!
Btw, I found the new Crowded House at Best Buy in Mansfield this week. Snagged that and the new Dream Theater, I snagged the DT deluxe geek package with bonus dvd and 16 sided dice for D&D marathons.
I say we reunite Trixter and send them on a tour of the middle east, once the al-Qaida hear the melodic tones of PJ Farley they will lay down their arms, strap on some blue jeans and rock out with their c*cks out.
Thanks for the tip OMOM. I am going thru Mansfield this weekend so I'll look again for the CH release. I hope they have the special edition cd/dvd combo. Sadly, it comes sans dice or slinky. I will have to buy a happy meal then to get a toy.
I'm sure after bin Laden hears "Give It To Me Good" we'll have peace in our time. Maybe give them a package tour featuring Trixter, Loudness and Helix. Let them know that Japan and Canada also just wanna live free and rock hard.
