CROW FOR SUPPER TONIGHT!

I have to write this quick as I have to interview a prospective employee soon. After that it's off to the bar where I am certain that my evening may be a little less of a good time that I had hoped it might be. This is due to the fact that I spent some time shooting off my mouth about how the Steelers were going to prove that the Colts would not go undefeated. I, apparently, was wrong about this statement that I had spent so much energy expressing over the past week. What can I say? There was no "Classic Steelers" running game present. I found the offensive line to be offensive to me, with all of those penalties. I could go on but I really hate to reflect on the game, and I am going to likely have my face rubbed in the game a lot, but there will be at least one cohort, friend, and Steelers fan there to share in the vilification that will be. At least there are no die hard Colts fans to have to listen too. No, just a bunch of people who's teams are sucking so bad right now they are only going to talk football to cause me grief. I can take it. A lot of alcohol will of course help and what the hell, my team is still in the running so it ain't gonna be that bad. I just felt that I should get on here and say I was wrong so as to maybe deflect some of the crap that may be hurled my way this evening. This really doesn't mater though, because most of the people that will be giving me grief will not see me admitting my wrong. NO. Mainly because a large portion of those lame asses can't even read, so it may very well be a futile point.Oh well.

Some of the latest in pop culture news. Kelly Osborne is calling it quits. That's right she, of the loins of the madman hisself, is retiring. My question is, just exactly what is it that she is retiring from? The girls what, 21? She said that she's been working since she was 15 and she tired of it. I'm tired of working too. Unfortunately I don't have multi millionaire parents to be able to sponge of off for the rest of my life. Let's face it though, It's gotta be rough to have your dad get you a recording contract based on his name and satis in the business. And being a tv star of her caliber must have truly been a strain. I think this retirement is well deserved and I wish her all the best.

Michael Jackson has left the country. I read this somewhere. It may not be new news but it's the first I heard of it. He went to some place in Africa maybe, I'm not sure, But I'll bet one thing, there's probably no age of consent there. He's probably going to cause a giant boom in the slave trade market for young, boys.

R.I.P.- LINK WRAY

I just found out the news today. Link Wray has left this planet at the age of 76. The guy was still playing guitar and kicking ass 'till the end. I don't know what I can say about the guy that isn't already being or will be said. The man was, without question, a legend. I know that word gets thrown around a lot but it is the truth in regards to Link Wray.
His music has been used in numerous films and commercials, and he was a pioneer of the raunchy guitar sound. Probably everybody has heard one of the guys riffs, whether they knew what it was or not. "Rumble" and "Jack the Ripper" are tunes you've likely heard, and his music has been in films like "Pulp Fiction" and "Desperado" (the film, nothing to do with the Eagles piece of shit) to name only a few.

Without Link Wray the kind of music that I obsess over would may not even exist. Heavy Metal may not exist. There may not have been the Cramps, without Link Wray having come before. The list would go on and on. His music is kick ass all the way. The sound was dirty, crunchy, and greasy. Perfection when it comes to rock n roll. If you are not familiar with the sounds of this guy now is the time to rectify that situation. Norton records has a great collection of his stuff and should be the first place you look. And look you should. If you consider yourself to be a rock n roller then there ain't no excuse for not having a record of his in your collection. His music is the perfect soundtrack for:drinking, fighting, F@#%&king, and basically just partying till you drop.

Plunk some Link wray on the music machine tonight and raise a bottle in honor of the Godfather of the Power Chord.

MORE BAD CASTING CHOICES

Here's another bad move in the movie biz. Coincidently it's another rock n roll icon. Keith Moon to be played by Mike Meyers. If this one happens, it would probably not even be "so stupid and bad it's entertaining" but rather just "stupid and bad". Send in your own bad casting choices and let's see just how bad things have gotten in tinsel town.

GREAT RUMOR

I'm sure that we've all marveled at the wonderful, captivating acting abilities of everyone's favorite action movie hero, Steven Seagal. Well the rumor is that he is ready, or at least at one time was opting for the chance to really use those acting powers of his. He was wanting to play the late, great Jimi Hendryx. Now a lot of bad moves get made in Hollywood (anybody ever see John Wayne as Gengis Khan, Ya have too see it.), but I would still be surprised to see this happen.Would I pay money to see this movie were it ever to be made? Hell Yes. I am certain the thing would be unbelievably entertaining. Face it, Seagal would be playing this thing seriously, and there is no way he could pull it off. Every scene with Seagal as Jimi would have to be hilarious. Not intentionally, ,cause you know Seagal's gonna play the part serious, which will only make it more funny.
I don't know if this is actually going to happen, but there is a part of me, deep down inside that really hopes it does. You'll be able to file this one under so bad it's good. And then you can get ready for the Mike Tyson biopic Starring Danny Devito.
