The Claypool Lennon Delirium
Remember the brilliance of Les Claypool's Primus?
Remember Yoko Ono?
I had to look it up, especially after hearing Steve Lennon's voice. I thought John Lennon had been summoned and was playing with Primus.
I will be listening more from this duo.
Merry Christmas!

Gary Clark, Jr Live at Glastonbury 2016
Song number one instantly reminds me of Red Rocks in CO in the rain. "Hey, that guy in the video is playing in the rain too!" #MarijuanasLegalinCO
THE WALL: Pink Floyd
I just read the news.
Dictators killing children.
Capitalist pigs and ignorant politicians gaining power with environmental costs.
Government trying to control my daughters' bodies.
Medical records being hacked.
And Alan Thicke is dead at 69.
As depressing as this album could be, the last song always gives me hope, energy, and happiness. So today, I will listen to the entire The Wall album.
"get him up against the wall"

Double Dose of Steel Panther NSFW
Ran across these guys... hilariously vulgar metal.
Kind of a Weird Al meets Motley Crue.
I give you a double dose, something for both sexes, starting with "She's Tight" (breasts in this one)
and followed up with a classic "Pussywhipped" (scrotums in this one)
IF you are entertained enough, I would suggest looking at "Gloryhole" and "It Won't Suck Itself".
When will Friday finally get here?

Doing some research brought me to this song and this video, which, unfortunately, Right Now has some of the same troubling issues mentioned in this 1991 video by VH.
As much as we feel so much is changing, it is amazing how much still stays the same.

Dixie Chicks - Not Ready To Make Nice
Watching how crazy... fanatical that humans can get. Reminds me of a few words that Dixie Chicks said way back when so many people were not happy we were going to war. They paid the price by being shunned by the country music industry. This was their anthem years later. They play September 1st at Fiddler's Green. I am thinking of giving my money to them.

R.I.P. Abe Vigoda
A lot of deaths the beginning of this year.
This time an actor... known for his role in Godfather and Barney Miller.
Over ten years ago I had a friend that had a web app indicating whether Abe was still alive or not since rumors around his death appeared often.
To the man who's name made it into a Beastie Boys lyric.
"You know I got rhymes like Abe Vigoda"

Eagles - Heartache Tonight - Live / Rest in Peace, Glenn Frey
One of my all-time favorites. Played it loud to my girls last night when I heard the news of Glenn's passing. I especially love the cadence of,
"We can beat around the bushes,
We can get down to the bone,
We can leave it in the parking lot,
but either way there's gonna
Be A Heartache Tonight, a heartache tonight, I know."
-- break my heart, babe

Just back from jury duty..... I be rejected.... but it did bring back memories of this song.... proof that you can find ANYTHING on youtube.
This is Pigmeat Markham and Here come the judge... not a bad rap for 1968.

David Bowie
One of the most unique guitar riffs in this song.. he wanted something different so he had the guitarist mess up the tuning.. and the end result is awesome.
R.I.P. David Bowie
A little light-heartedness this day when sad news of the death of Ziggy Stardust. He just turned 69 last week.

Mötley Crüe - Live Wire (Official Music Video)
And one of my all-time favorite Motley Crue songs!
"Because I'm ALIVE!"
Motley Crue's final show in LA New Years Eve 2015.
Jenny told us about this rollercoaster when they saw The Crue last month... however, around minute 4 the coaster got stuck on New Year's Eve. Funny to hear Tommy banter with the crowd. A little long in length (that's what Pamela said).
