PUT A HEAD ON A STICK AND HAVE A PARTY!

This is the cry heard from all those ghoulish kids that are dancing around the tombstones at the beginning of what is one of the greatest kids shows ever. The show is GHOUL A GO GO and man do I love it. And quit frankly so should you. Remember in the 60's and 70's when a lot of the local television stations had kid shows. The host was often somebody dressed up in an animal suite, or a clown, or just some goofball who would come on and entertain the kids, and show cartoons and whatnot. Well this is that kind of a thing only better than most. You have Vlad Tsepis, Crieghton, and the Invisible Man as your hosts, and for what it's worth, in my opinion, they beat Soupy Sales and BOZO the CLOWN hands down. (No disrespect to Soupy Sales).
This show is great. The kids on the show are out there shakin' their booties to all those great 60's go go moves like the twist, the monkey, the swim, and the really great thing about it is that they play the coolest music. You ain't gonna hear no EMINEM, or 50 CENT crap on this show. No way. They are infecting the kids with righteous rock n roll. Hell, this show makes me think that there may really be a future for this goll darned country after all. Let's face it, a kid who is exposed to Link Wray at an early age is certainly gonna be way better off than all these mamby pambies who are being spoonfed RAP and HIP HOP as the music to have as the soundtrack to their lives. The youngsters who are Kickin' Out the Jams, are also gonna be Kickin' the lame asses of all those weenies watchin' MTV.
Not only did I get a cool DVD-R of some of their shows, but I am a full fledged Fan Club Member, so I can truly look down with contempt upon all the lesser mortals that scurry about in my midst. I am also among good company and can consider myself among the inner circle with guys like the late great HASIL ADKINS, REVERAND BEAT MAN, members of the MISFITS, and legendary Horror host ZACHERLY. (I wonder if Lux Interior or Poison Ivy has ever seen this show?)
If you are cool, then check these guys out on the web and get their DVD. If you don't like this show, you are very likely, a boring shithead without an ounce a creativity, or a sense of humor, and are jaded beyond the point of all hope. All I can say is that this show is a lot of fun, and that's what bein' a kid and rock n roll are really all about. Ain't it?

MIDWEST HOSPITALITY

Just got back late last night from the Twin Cities. After two tickets for the Vikes/Rams game found their way into my sweaty palms I decided to take my son to check out his first Live NFL Game. He loved it, to say the least. He now wants to move to a large city so he can be closer to professional sports teams. He really wants to move to Chicago or close to it,(this do to his rabid passion for the Cubs) but he said he'd settle for Minneapolis/St. Paul. I have to thank Becky for giving me the tickets, and also say thanks to my friends Ann and Dave, who came through as usual with major helpings of hospitality. Not only did they drop us off, and pick us up from the game saving me bucks I would have had to spend on parking, but then provided a tasty and hearty meal including desert.

I have been wanting do this for a long time, but I've decided that I'm going to get serious about it. I'm going to go to film school. I have started to save money and I definitely need to get another job, if not multiple other jobs, but I think I need something else to do in my life. It's expensive, so any contributions would be greatly appreciated. Who knows, maybe someday I could make you a star.

QUIKEY REVIEWS

I'm about to start getting ready for a trip to the twin cities tomorrow to let my son enjoy his first live NFL experience, but before I start getting things together I thought I'd take the time to offer two cents on a couple of items that have found their way to my door in the past couple of weeks.

LIGHTNING BEAT MAN AND THE NEVER HEARD OF 'EMS - APARTMENT WRESTLING ROCK AND ROLL
This seems to be a lot of odds and ends from the Swiss mad man. Some of it is his one man band routine and other stuff is him being backed by a band. Some of it's live as well, seemingly from some radio broadcasts or something. There are also sound bites of stuff in between a lot of the songs that are actually pretty cool, but depending on your mood can kind of detract from the full frontal onslaught that the Beat Man is laying down.
This stuff is primitive and raw, which is nothing less than what you outta expect from the good reverend. The clanging guitar and the growling vocals do speak to the heart. Fans of the Cramps and Hasil Adkins would likely dig this, or just anybody who can appreciate wild and wooly rock and roll without any pretensions.

D.M. BOB AND THE DEFICITS - CAJUN CREOLE HOT NUTS
Forget Creedence Clearwater Revival. Born on the Bayou, FAH!! If you want swamp music, then this is absolutely the record for you. Bog Hillbilly Hootenany Music at it's finest. This is definitely what you need to be playing at your next White Lightning fueled wingding jamboree. Slap this thing on and then slug down some back yard corn mash from an old mason jar.

JERRY LEE LEWIS - LIVE AT THE STAR
This is Jerry Lee playing in Germany in '62. This thing is great and man can Jerry Lee play. He is without a doubt one of the first wild men of rock n roll. He'll even probably be the first to tell you so. If you like Jerry Lee then you really ought to have this in your record collection. If you don't like Jerry Lee, what's wrong with ya.
