True story… I believe it was Friday. Ali and I had come home after being out and about and flipped on the telly to a channel called Palladium. And much to my excitement it was a 2008 live performance of the Foo Fighters from Wembley. Thing was… Dave Grohl was on drums, Taylor Hawkins was singing, and joining them on stage was John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and they were destroying it, I mean absolutely decimating a cover of “Rock n Roll”! Totally killing it… All in a good way. Naturally, the crowd was going ape sh!t!!

After snapping a couple few photos, and thanking Jones and Page, Grohl proclaimed to the audience, “Today is the greatest f**king day of my entire life!!” Again, crowd went ape sh!t! They, the Foo, then closed out the show with their number of “Best of You” with all band members in their proper places.

When you watch this below, take note about halfway thru of how truly amazing an experience this was to the band and Grohl especially. Made me tingle all over. Enjoy.

It’s Monday morning, somewhere halfway between 8 and 9 AM, been up since 7:50 and honestly considering putting this new blog on hold since I’ve been stuffing thy face with turkey, potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, coffee, candy, popcorn, wine, lil’ cigars and an assortment of items perishable, nonperishable, intoxicating and truth be told bowel shakingly irritating.

Translation: I may have to hit the hoop, drop some kids off at the pool, take a dump… or as my girl says to the dog, “gotta go to the baff-room”.

I’m back, sorry to have stepped away for so long. I got caught up reading an outdated issue of Entertainment Weekly and their synopsis of 2012, the movie. They gave it a B. But I digress, as Thanksgiving ‘09 is now finished and behind us I figured I’d get all sappy on you, the ever faithful listener, and regale ya with what I’m most thankful for.

Let’s start with the fact that this planet provides us with oxygen. For a little while now I feel like we as humans haven’t been giving the ol’ O2 the respect it deserves. We must focus ourselves on the fact, just a little bit-like in the morning when you’re plucking hairs out of your nose before you get in the shower, that without Oxygen there is no humans. Throw an H before that rascally O2 and you’ve got something else on this planet I’m a big fan of and that’s Water. Drinking it. Bathing in it. Cleaning the dog with it. That water is really something. Have you ever… ya know… in it??? Wow! Good times, good times.

And speaking of pets. Those little critters make for great snacks in the middle of the night. No, I’m kidding. But if the apocalypse does happen, and I’ve got fire and nothing to eat… I still probably wouldn’t eat them. Savage Zombies bent on devouring brains would probably eat them. And us for that matter.

If I don’t mention that which doesn’t need to be mentioned I think my family and those closest to me would give me a swift kick in the junk. So to all those I spent dinners with, watch some of the games with, went to the movies with and out for bevys with over the Holiday break… I’m ever so Thankful for you all. Love ya! Mean it! Now get off my blog

I’d like to now address us and the U that makes us who we are. I’m super-dope, without a doubt, Ho Fo Sho Thankful for YOU this year. Being back at the Rock. Doing afternoons for you guys. Talking on the phone, Via IM/Email, running into you in person out and about, this year especially, I’m thankful for you. We’ve had some serious fun over the last couple of months and are going to have a blast in December with Twisted Christmas and the New Year’s Eve Big Ball! Closing out 09 and welcoming in 2010 is gonna be bananas and I hope you’ve brought enough for everyone!

Just wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving! On a day in which we stop and give thanks, I am thankful for all of you for allowing me to do what I do. The word just doesn’t seem to be enough to convey my apprecitation, but thank you so much for being the best listeners in the world!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I don’t know about you but for a long time New Years Eve has been fairly mild for me.
Hang out at a buddy’s house or just kick back and do nothing.
I’m not saying there is anything wrong with that but sometimes it would be nice to have another option.
And the night out in a tux is not at all my scene.
Well check this out!
This year I have a option for you…The Rocks New Years Eve Big Ball at the Midland.
Music from Rev Theory, Cavo, and Red Line Chemistry.
Plus all the other good stuff you have to have for a good New Years party.
FREE Champaign toast and all the party favors you can shake your noise maker at!
So lets recap this.
A Rock New Years Eve party.
We are there man!
And don’t forget how fast Twisted Christmas sold out.
Get your tickets ASAP!
I want to see you there!

ps. Have a great Thanksgiving!

Are square!

This morning I had the lovely privilege of going to court in the wonderful City of Mission, State of Kansas. Arriving a few minutes before 8 my number was 45. That meant, 44 people… cases… dockets.. in front of me before I could stand in front of the judge and plead my case. Funny thing was, I some how got stuck in the front row. Grrr… and what I thought was going to make matters worse was the name of the judge. Honorable Judge Drill. I sh!t you not! His last name was Drill.  In my brain I figured I was screwed.

I noticed something in common from all those slowly, languidly walking towards the judge when their number was called. You could tell they were guilty and wicked as their shoulders were rolled forward with fear, their backs had what would best be described as a small lump of anxiety, and every person who was ”innocent until proven guilty” had eyes swelling with panic, like that of a frightened child, as they explained their reason with sorrow laden lyrics.

Once liberated, continued, or dismissed an air of joy and hope, freedom and happiness filled them as they confidently strolled out of court and out into the world… presumably to prove the fatal American flaw we all live by, “It’s only wrong if you get caught.”

I did wonder, as the court was only on docket number 24 by this time, if the laws created by man to protect man were too difficult for man to abide by? I suspect the answer’s No, it just costs a lot to be Free… and today I paid for my Freedom. America, F**k Yeah!

PS-Judge Drill was and is an honest and good man. Just wanna make that proclamation.

Hello all!!

Its coming up!! The last day for keys to that brand new 2010 Harley Fat Boy Lo (plus the brand new 2010 Camaro SS assuming the winner is a Rockaholic) will be the day before Thanksgiving!! Not too much longer so I’m sure you’ll be trying extra hard to get the last few remaining keys. In an effort to help, I’ll give you a tip that might increase your chances of winning. I get asked all the time, “what is the trick?? How do you get in to win those things?” Truth is, there is no trick, it is truly luck of the draw. However, (and here’s the tip) one thing that might help is to wait until you hear the sounder fire on the air. I know that we tell you the times that we are giving the keys away and we get a ton of calls from people at that time asking what if they’re number 9. If the phone is ringing before the sounder is played, you won’t win because you’re too early. That’s really the best advise I can give you. Timing is everything because EVERYONE is going to be wanting these keys. So, have the number on speed dial, have it ready on re-dial or whatever you have to do, but wait until we fire the sounder, then release the hounds!! Good luck to you all and I hope to be giving you a key soon!

of course it’s on DVD, Season 2, but if you’ve never seen this show Holy Snot! it’s a trip man. First off, I don’t know if it’s a clear representation of life in LA but it’s pretty gnarly what all goes on with the show’s main character, Hank Moody, played by David Duchovny. And if you don’t know what it’s about here’s a quick synopsis;

Hank’s a writer in LA. Has a child. Is madly in love with his baby’s momma Karen, played by Natascha McElhone, but she won’t give in to him because of his “antics”. Therefore Hank does all of the indulging he can in modern day Sodom and Gomorrah and thus jeopardizes any chance of making amends with Momma Karen.

The writing is fantastic, the usage of LA as a key back drop is well done, and I don’t think I’ve seen one episode where there hasn’t been some sort of prominent display of nudity, to quote Homer Simpson, “Wooo Hooo!” I’m nearly done with Season 2 and stoked about having the DVR ready and set for Season 3.
