David Bowie and Bing Crosby

Christmas brings together the most unlikely people. David Bowie stops by his new neighbor Bing's house to borrow a cup of cocaine. Bing, taking a break from brutalizing his children, invites Dave and the two sing, sing, sing.

Oh how George Lucas wishes he could destroy all copies of this.

The Two-Hour Star Wars Holiday Special in only Five Minutes!

Here's one reason why more people kill themselves during the holidays than during any other time of the year. Think George Lucas would like to get rid of this piece of crap?

Lee Majors Is Tougher Than You Are

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that its come out that there are fake profiles on Facebook that are set up for nothing more than product placement (.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22012113/)Quite honestly if your social life consists of adding friends to your MySpace page or surfing thru Facebook profiles, you deserve to be duped (except for that teenage girl in St. Louis who killed herself...the adults responsible for her suicide ought to be dragged from the back of a truck). I'm an old guy...I have good reason to be jaded by the human race and to find detached ways in which to interact with mankind. What kind of social skills are these MySpace and Facebook users developing? I'm lucky we didn't have the internets when I was a kid. I might not have ever left the house. Back away from the PC kids. Quit surfing for porn and meet real girls. Make some real friends. Oh and kids...while you're at it...put down the Guitar Hero controller and learn to play a Les Paul...what the world needs now more than ever, is a real Guitar Hero.

Best Xmas movie ever? Bill Murray's Scrooged. That opening scene with Lee Majors kills me everytime I see it.

Brian Setzer - Run Rudolph Run

Christmas sucks but Brian Setzer makes it swing. The BSO could play the phone book and make it sound good.

Oh Those Canadian PSA's

This has actually been running during Hockey Night in Canada.

Pardon My Dust

Pardon my dust as we remodel but the blog is still open during the redesign. As you may have noticed I've changed the layout (again). I'm kinda digging this look. I think its a little easier to read.

No one would be surprised if I died and no one discovered my body for days but I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that Kevin DuBrow was dead for six days before anyone noticed. Las Vegas TV ran a story yesterday with DuBrow's fiancee who says she has last talked to the Quiet Riot front man last Monday. His body was found on Sunday after Glenn Hughes became concerned and started calling around from Los Angeles. Hughes became concerned when DuBrow was a no show for a party at Hughes house in LA. After DuBrow didn't return phone calls, Hughes called someone to bust into DuBrow's house. My question is this....You don't hear from your fiancee for 6 days....including over Thanksgiving....and you never once think something is out of the ordinary? What kind of kooky woman was Kevin DuBrow engaged to? You can go here to get a look at her and see the TV story:http://www.ktnv.com/Global/story.asp?S=7417067&nav=menu498_6
Or you can go here and see her MySpace page:http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=82576157.

I hate Jay Leno. He's about as unfunny as being dead for six days and nobody noticing. However, NBC has done something cool. With the writers strike NBC has dug up old Tonight Shows with Leno from as far back as 1992. If you missed 'em you can watch them online here:http://www.nbc.com/The_Tonight_Show_with_Jay_Leno/video/episodes.shtml

Twisted Sister - Oh Come All Ye Faithful

I never thought I'd live long enough to see Dee Snider join the likes of Andy Williams and Johnny Mathis.

Is Christmas Over Yet?

Have I mentioned I hate Christmas? I didn't always hate Christmas. Of course I loved it as a kid. But at some point my feelings changed. I didn't like it but I tolerated it. Like the way you tolerate the tv shows your wife watches. You don't like them but you sit there with her watching because she's somehow happy that you've feigned interest to do something with her. I admit I do enjoy getting stuff for kids for Xmas. Especially when they are still of age to believe in Santa Claus. I think I hate Christmas because like nearly every other aspect of life its been ruined by adults and consumerism. Every day I'm subjected to Xmas music coming from the cube of my neighbor at work. The whole day. Does anyone need to listen to that much Xmas music? Other people are bringing in special holiday themed coffee mugs. Why? What was wrong with your other mug? Its good for coffee in August but not in December? Heck its not even December yet and its Xmas 24/7. If life came with a fast forward button, I'd zoom ahead to January. Hell has gotta feel a lot like the holiday season. Only warmer.

Quiet Riot@ the US Festival

Ah nothing says 80's excess like the US Festival....Bang Your Head in honor of Kevin DuBrow

An all too quiet riot

While the mainstream media is jammed up this morning with stories on the death of Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor, I'm still bumming about the death of Quiet Riot frontman Kevin DuBrow. I can only attribute my mourning to the natural emotions rational people experience in relation to death and to my own selfishness. DuBrow's death has left me feeling incredibly old and mortal. I've been fortunate in that I haven't had too much personal experience with death. Obviously, I'm still alive (or typing this from the great beyond which would be damn cool...call me the Ghost Blogger!).All my immediate family is still kickin'. My grandparents had the decency to die before I was born thus sparing me the trauma of their passing during my lifetime. So since no one close to me ever bothers to die (and I thank you for that), I'm left to mourn the metal gods of my youth.

I've been shocked that the internet chat concerning DuBrow has been overwhelmingly positive. This is a guy who at the height of his fame made a habit of slagging other bands. His controversial statements adorned the cover of all the metal mags of the early 80's (O.M.O.M. you may have my complete collections of Metal Edge, Hit Parader, Circus and Kerrang upon my passing). While he went about it the wrong way, DuBrow was right back then. Without Quiet Riot and Metal Health going to number one on the album charts, bands like Motley Crue, Ratt and Poison may have never been signed or if signed, not promoted like they were. Among the cyber mourners I've seen so far are LA Guns Tracii Guns, who posted over at Metal Sludge, and Glenn Hughes, who shares his thoughts over at Melodicrock.com.

So Kevin DuBrow, Sean Taylor.....we need a third celeb to complete the death trinity. I'd like to place my bet on comedian Rush Limbaugh (hey a guy can dream can't he?).

What's up with all the new music documentaries? And why is the Decline and Fall of Western Civilization the Metal Years out on DVD?:http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/2007-11-26-musicdocs-main_N.htm

Quiet Riot - Slick Black Cadillac (RockPop in concert, 1983)

RIP Kevin Dubrow

Bang Your Head in Silence

Metal Sludge is reporting that Quiet Riot singer Kevin Dubrow died over the weekend. The news has left me strangely sad. I wasn't a huge QR fan in fact I wouldn't have considered myself a fan at all. If you came of age in the 80's you couldn't escape Quiet Riot. Copies of Metal Health were sent to everyone who lived in the suburbs like samples of Tide. They were the first Metal band to ever have a number one record and if you didn't like Metal (or at least pretend to) where I grew up, you might as well have been an open homosexual. You would have been ostracized from society.

Before Kanye vs 50 Cent, before East Coast vs West Coast there was Kevin Dubrow versus the world. He was not afraid to voice his opinions on the competition in his genre of music. His inability to keep his mouth shut resulted in him being fired from the band he founded only to return when the other members realized that, love him or hate him, Quiet Riot was Kevin Dubrow. In later years it was obvious that Dubrow loved what he did. While the Jon Bon Jovi's of the world hide from their hard rock years as if they were embarassed, Dubrow continued to embrace his band's history. They put out new records (which didn't sell much), toured constantly (and played everything from state fairs to bars in BFE) and changed lineups like Spinal Tap changed drummers. For the past few years only Dubrow and drummer Frankie Banali remained from the original lineup. Dubrow's voice and QR's Slade covers were part of the soundtrack of my childhood. Without the success of Quiet Riot and the Metal Health record, the whole landscape of 80s music might have been completely different. So bang your head, and raise the dead......:http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=85558

Things I'm Thankful For

What are you thankful for this year? Is it for your family, health, or full head of hair?

Me I'm thankful to live in an era of flat screen tv's and hundreds of television channels. I'm thankful for satellite radio, internet porn, the NHL, MLB, and the NFL. I'm thankful for point spreads and fantasy football. Video games and Star Trek XI. I'm thankful for dvds and being free of STD's. I'm thankful that the Browns found Derek Anderson and for the E Street Band. I'm thankful for most of my friends, some of my wives and all of my children. I'm thankful to be this intelligent, this handsome, and for being so full of myself I can admit that to the world.

Are there any good tv marathons on for the holiday?

Doesn't Rosie O'Donnell look fat enough to be a balloon in the Macy's Parade?

E Street Shuffle?

This morning I'm sooooooooooo glad I made it to the Cleveland stop on the first leg of Bruce Springsteen's world tour. The internets have been abuzz with rumors that last night was the last show for E Street Band organist Danny Federici. Looking at this video from the first leg finale in Boston, something is definitely going on:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxj6_eOQhsY
The tour resumes next Sunday in Madrid so some sort of official announcement should be made by then. I can't imagine the E Street Band without Danny's Jersey Shore soaked organ sound.

As I prepare to indulge in my favorite sin, gluttony, I'm reminded that many are hungry today and every day. Its the issue of poverty that makes me support John Edwards for President.

Crabcakes and Losing...Thats What Maryland Does!


How 'bout that Browns game yesterday? A Hollywood writer would have been hard pressed to write an ending like that one. The Browns blow a 13 point lead in the 4th quarter and find themselves trailing by 3 with 26 seconds when Brian Billick proves yet again that he is the biggest, most arrogant azzhole not named Barry Bonds in professional sports. The Ravens (for now) head coach elects to kick off to Josh Cribbs instead of ordering a squib kick. Cribbs only 300 return yards. Even Stevie Wonder could have seen the squib kick was the way to go. Not Billick. Cribbs gives the Browns great field position and a couple plays later Phil Dawson is knocking thru a 51 yard field goal that hits an upright, then the back post of the standard and then comes bouncing back onto the playing field. One ref stands there, another rules no good. Yada, yada, yada, after a 5 minute review the kick is ruled good.
Proving again that he's an idiot, Billick elects in overtime to kick off to Cribbs again. Same story...great field position, yada, yada, yada...Dawson hits field goal and Browns win. In the words of the great philosopher Homer (Simpson) In your face Baltimore!
More to come......

RIP Ol' Left-hander...Burn Bonds Burn

Reds broadcaster Joe Nuxhall, the youngest person to ever play in the Major Leagues (he was 15) died last night after a lengthy illness. Love him or leave him, Nuxie was a a staple of the Reds franchise. Me, I always thought the ol' left hander sounded like he was in the bag when he was on the air. Despite that I preferred him to his windbag partner Marty Brennaman (who has never been able to adjust to the Reds on field decline and loses interest quickly into each disappointing season). Nuxie truly enjoyed what he did, he loved the Reds and based on this artile, the feeling was mutual:http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071116/SPT04/311160012

While Joe Nuxhall was good for baseball, the same can't be said about Barry Bonds. The fat headed home run champ has been indicted for lying to a grand jury and obstruction of justice. Professional sports reigning jackass has caused everyone who loves baseball to be suspicious of the on field product:http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/11/16/SPQLTDDKF.DTL

So my solution, and quite honestly, its the only thing I can think of to save America's past time, is that Bonds must be executed for his crime. Drawn, quartered and then roasted like a chicken at Kenny Rogers house (the singer, not the Tigers pitcher). With all steroid users now facing execution (or at the very least some kind of primitive catapult device which will toss them a great distance into a pit of fire), baseball becomes cheater free.

Kill Me...Like Tom Cruise Has Killed His Career

Another sleepless night due to this stupid cold. Up all night hacking. Finally gave up and again turned on the TV but found something to watch this time. HBO has a new documentary on the OSU/Michigan rivalry. Good stuff.

Is there anything more American than rooting for someone successful to fail? I relish watching the fall of Tom Cruise. I used to like the guy. Thought Rain Man was a great flick. Thought he was brilliant in Born on the Fourth of July and Magnolia. I think Losin' It is the most underrated teen sex comedy of all time. I don't know if I've ever watched someone fall further faster than Tiny Tom. I think the public backlash against him can be pinpointed on three events: The Trapped in the Closet episode of South Park, the rumored pissing contest he got into with Paramount over another episode of South Park that skewered Scientology and then the epic, "you're glib Matt" battle with Matt Lauer on the Today show. While Tommy Boy's latest flick is about to move into 2nd run theaters after only being out 3 weeks, it looks like his next flick also appears to be a stinker:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21794678/

Late Night Tellyvision

So I'm still battling this damn cold. I took the O.M.O.M.'s advice and tried garlique...I still have my cold but I've gone 24 hours without being attacked by vampires so it did have some benefit.

I woke up 3 times last night. Each time felt like an eternity. Do you realize just how little quality programming is on late night television? Of course, all the late night talk shows are in reruns due to the writers strike. You get past 1230 AM tho you're completely screwed if you're looking for something to watch. Tv is jammed up with informercials and Girls Gone Wild commercials. There is one infomercial that is quite entertaining. This cute Amerasian girl and a skanky white chick discuss and sell sex toys. Last night I ended up watching the last half of Deep Space Nine on Spike (shame that show only airs at 2AM..tho I do have all 7 seasons on DVD so why am I complaining?) then turned it over for TNT's NYPD Blue marathon. TNT also runs marathons of the X Files and Law & Order over nights. Nick at Nite used to be a good place for insomniacs to turn but I refuse to watch any channel that shows Growing Pains. Kirk Cameron is a bitch.

When I saw there was a scandal involving Oral Roberts, I figured it was another Republican gay sex scandal:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21779517/

Snot Rockets

I'm sick of having a cold. I'm in my 2nd week of this and I'm sick of being sick. I can't sleep at night. I'm tired of taking cold medicine. My throat is scratchy, my eyes are watery and I'm producing snot like Saudi Arabia produces oil. I've purchased so much Advil Cold and Sinus I'm under surveillance for possibly running a crystal meth lab.

Soccer...Yep, Its that Gay

This video is a hoot.

Where am I? *Updated*


See if you can find me in this picture....I'll give you a hint...if you look at the front of the picture, then look for the lady in the very bright neon green....thats where I'll be.
O-H!......I said O-H!...What's that? Still in a bad mood about Ohio State getting their azzez kicked by Illinois? You shouldn't be. As I've said all season long they aren't that good. Its just with their MAC heavy schedule and a lousy Big 10 conference that their weaknesses weren't exploited. Buckeye Nation you should be pleased....losing to Illinois spares you a 7 TD loss to LSU in the national title game. Fearless prediction...if Mike Hart plays OSU gets drilled again on Saturday and its Hello Capital One Bowl!
Best part of Ohio State's loss? Knowing that Mindy Drayer would be at home crying that night. Worst part of Ohio State's loss? Knowing I wouldn't be able to lick up her tears or feel them fall down my face like rain. How this woman can be a large market news anchor while wearing a Brutus Buckeye costume on the air is beyond me. Yesterday with her voice cracking Mindy implored Ohio State fans not to give up as "Our Buckeyes need us now more than ever!" Its people like her that make me root against Ohio State.
Lost in all the media coverage about the Hollywood screenwriters strike is a strike by Broadways stage hands. Of course, the only people effected by the stage hand strike are tourists, who are reduced to being sightseers, and homosexuals who now find themselves incredibly bored:http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/12/theater/12broadway.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin
Lost's Damon Lindeloff wrote a nice Op-Ed in yesterdays NYTimes:http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/11/opinion/11lindelof.html?hp&loc=interstitialskip

So Ya Wanna Start a Crystal Meth Lab.........

I hate having a cold. I mean, I don't know of anyone who actually enjoys having a stuffed up head, sore throat or cough...but I especially hate being sick. Mainly because it doesn't happen to me all that often. My immune system is god like. I go into Meijer this morning to buy some Advil Cold and Sinus medicine and its nowhere to be found. I completely forgot that nearly half of the over the counter cold remedies are now kept at the pharmacy. Stupid Crystal Meth labs are ruining my cold medicine experience. I actually had to show photo id and sign a waiver promising not to make bathtub speed out it before I could buy the stuff. I realized the meth freaks were stealing the stuff off the shelves but to show id to buy Advil? That's crazy...but that wasn't the craziest thing I experienced at Meijer this AM....I'm convinced I crossed paths with a female to male transsexual...incredibly disturbing.

I'm one of the most liberal minded people I know but even I draw a line at someone crazy enough to have their genitals mutilated. Don't get me wrong I appreciate the humor value of the transsexual....I still laugh whenever I think of King Kobra singer Marc Free becoming Marcie Free or that Rhino Buckets drummer became a hideously unattractive woman named Jackie, however I find the subject of transsexuals to be more disturbing than Siamese or Parasitic twins or anything else you can find at the Circus freak show.

Have you upgraded to the next generation of DVD player yet? Me neither. Sony's CEO says the HD DVD-Blu Ray battle is a stalemate:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21706778/

I'm leaning toward HD DVD...thats what the porn industry went with.....Hey, they were right when it came to VHS over Beta! When in doubt, choose porn.

Woke up in the middle of the night to find that Carson Daly still has a late night tv show.....starring guests I'd never heard of. What deal with the devil did Carson Daly broker to become a celebrity? The guy has less talent and charisma then a Mexican food and draft beer induced bowel movement.

See if you can find me.....

I was all excited when I heard video was posted from the Springsteen show the other night. Sadly, someone's head is blocking the area I occupied up by the stage. Oh well, hopefully more will surface. After all, I've already downloaded 2 bootlegs from the same show.

Devil's Arcade

Congratulations Dubya...not only have you waged an unnecessary war you have also overseen the first 9 Trillion Dollar deficit in United States history. Under the stewardship of this jackass from the Lone Star state, the American dollar has been devalued to the point that its worth less than the Canadian dollar. Oil will pass 100 bucks a barrel in the next few days and $4 a gallon gas is in our future. To all of you idiots who decided to vote for morals over common sense in the 2000 and 2004 elections...thanks a lot you bastards.

Obviously, I'm in a bad mood today. Is there anything worse than the common cold? Well sure cancer is pretty bad and I hear AIDS sucks too but in terms of maladies I've personally suffered from, nothing is worse than the (not so) common cold I have right now. I feel like my head is gonna bust open.

Remember the size of the JC Penney Christmas catalog when you were a kid? The thing was the size of the Los Angeles yellow pages. Have you seen the 2007 version? Its about as big as an issue of Entertainment Weekly. And not a double sized Fall movie preview edition of EW either. Whats even more shocking is people still order from catalogs at all.

Can we please get off the Ron Paul bandwagon? Sure he's refreshing in that he seems to sincerely believe in his positions on the issues, HOWEVER, that doesn't change the fact that the man is a borderline lunatic...and it appears a nearly broke lunatic at that:http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/?hpid=news-col-blog

I don't know if a Borat book was really necessary but a recent Borat book signing sounds like a good time....especially since some idiots seemed to think it was an event to bring children to:http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2007-11-08-borat_N.htm

Please tell me you saw last night's South Park in which Parker and Stone skewer our nation's stupid Guitar Hero obsession:http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/11/07/south-park-guitar-queer-o/

Haven't priests inflicted enough damage on the nation? Weren't their impersonations of Michael Jackson enough? Now one has been busted for stalking Conan O'Brien:http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/11/08/people.conan.obrien.ap/index.html?eref=ew

Ever walked out of a movie? I can only remember doing it once...Dirty Rotten Scoundrels:http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20158993,00.html

Guess that WalMart exclusive Eagles cd ain't so exclusive. Virgin Megastore is carrying it as well.

XM has launched an all Zeppelin channel, however, XM still sucks.

Whenever a team says its a "small market" franchise that's usually a politically correct way of saying to fans "we're cheap." However in the case of your Columbus Blue Jackets (who reverted to their old CBJ ways last night) its true:http://mirtle.blogspot.com/

Its bad enough that the NHL is stuck on Versus but do they have to share the network with that giant douche Dennis Miller? Or is he turd sandwich Dennis Miller? Either way he sucks.:http://meltyourfaceoff.wordpress.com/2007/11/08/making-puck-the-dennis-miller-edition/

Who Wants to Hump a Newsbabe?

With the tv writers on strike, an idea hit me for a new game show....Who Wants to Hump a TV Newsbabe? A new reality show where contestants compete to hump a newsbabe. Have you noticed the quality of newsbabes at both the local and national level? The quality of our local newsbabes is at an all time high. All the newsbabes on channel 4 are completely humpable. Tell me you wouldn't love to compete for the opportunity go give some breaking news to Maureen Kocot....

Here are my thoughts on yesterdays election....Who the hell is gonna replace these poll workers? No one under the age of 90 works the polls which leads me to worry that our nations poll workers are going extinct. If we don't conserve our poll workers we'll lose our democracy.

Speaking of news chicks, don't ya hope that the Today Show's Ann Curry gets stuck in the South Pole?

Here's how wonderful the internet is....I go see Bruce Springsteen on Sunday...on Tuesday night I have a bootleg copy of the show downloaded on to my computer. Every day I thank Jebus for letting me live in an industrialized nation with broadband access.

No surprise here..most of the people who downloaded the new Radiohead cd paid the same thing I did for the Springsteen boot...NOTHING:http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2007-11-06-radiohead_N.htm?loc=interstitialskip

Somebody please explain to me why every time I go to a music website there is something on there about Amy Winehouse? Enough already. She's not that damn good. In fact she sucks.
