CelebrityFIST!

Okay that got boring real quick (I guess since I don’t do the stuff).  So let me throw out the one song I like to rely on when times are rough or when my 420 friends (and I have actually quite a few) knock me for JUST doing alcohol.

BTW, I’ve got Red Stripe (instead of Dos Equis) and Patron Anejo (if you’re going to drink tequila - do it right).

Okay, some have told me they don’t like some of the ‘old songs’ I’ve put up.  Of course, ‘old’ means anything before 1985.  So ….

FUCK IT.  MY BLOG.  MY RULES.

Lets go instead FURTHER back.  I was only a toddler when this song came out but discovered it when my lesbian, pothead aunt would play this stuff while babysitting me.  No, really.  She used to have a shitload of day-glo posters on the ceiling of her bedroom (she was still living with my grandparents (her parents) at the time).  One of my ‘favorites’ was one of Mickey, Donald, and Goofy all wasted around a bong.  Of course, back THEN I didn’t know they were ‘wasted’ and I sure as hell didn’t know what a ‘bong’ was - but the image stuck with me so much that I understand the context now.

Miss that poster.  And my aunt.  (shrugs)  C’est le vie and all that.

Enough words:

BTW, if you’ve got a joint - take a long puff for me alright?  Thanx.

Well the good news is I’m finally on vacation.  The bad news is how long will it take before work tries to intrude on it.  I give it 12 hours…

Okay, we’re gonna start with a song running on my phone lately.  To me, its as topical as ever.

Supertramp - “The Logical Song”

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
a miracle.  Oh, it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they’d be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully - watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be Sensible.
Logical.  Oh, Responsible.  Practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so Dependable.
Clinical.  Oh, Intellectual.  Cynical.

There are times when all the world’s asleep,
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man.
Won’t you please, please tell me what we’ve learned
I know it sounds absurd -
but please tell me who I am.

I said what would you say they’ll be calling you “A Radical”.
“A Liberal.”  “Fanatical “  “Criminal.”?
Won’t you sign up your name?  We’d like to feel you’re
accept-able, respect-able, present-able, a vegat-able!

At night, when all the world’s asleep,
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man.
Won’t you please, please tell me what we’ve learned?
I know it sounds absurd:
but please tell me who I am.

Who I am.  Who I Am!  WHO I AM!

Cause I’m feeling so Illogical.  Digital.  So unbelievable…

I don’t know when this live performance occurs but obviously a LOOOOONG time ago.  Philip Bailey was definitely at the top of his vocal game and the brass section really sounds good in this clip.  There’s a lot of versions on the Net where the brass was toned down in future concerts but this sounds great!  Enjoy!

I know this is a rerun.  Leave me alone.  I’m feeling old and miserable…

Woo Hoo Hooooo!
Woo hoo hooooo!
Debbie just hit the wall
She never had it all
One Prozac a day
Husband’s a CPA
Her dreams went out the door
When she turned 24.
Only been with one man
What happened to her plan?

She was gonna be an actress
She was gonna be a star
She was gonna shake her ass
On the hood of Whitesnake’s car
Her yellow SUV is now the enemy
Looks at her average life
And nothing, has been…
all right since

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool
‘Cuz she’s still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985

Woo Hoo Hooooo!
(1985)
Woo Hoo Hooooo!

She’s seen all the classics
She knows every line
“Breakfast Club”, “Pretty In Pink”
Even “St. Elmo’s Fire”
She rocked out to Wham!
Not a big Limp Bizkit fan
Thought she’d get a hand
On a member of Duran Duran

Where’s the mini-skirt made of snakeskin?
And who’s the other guy that’s singing in Van Halen?
When did reality become TV?
What ever happened to sitcoms?  game shows?
(on the radio was)

Woo Hoo Hooooo!

She hates time, make it stop
When did Motley Crue become classic rock?
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
Please make this stop, stop, STOP(tick tick tick) and bring back

Today (well essentially today) is Angus Young’s birthday.  Old fart turns 55 so lets raise a pint for the fucker.  Rock on!

So lets have the boys (with Bon Scott, of course) entertain us with a little “Let There Be Rock”.  If were nice, maybe the birthday boy will give us a nice solo too. 

By the way, THIS is Rock-n-Roll.  Accept no substitutes.

Ah, 1973.  Okay, I was only 7.  Frankly had no idea this song existed til about 1991 (when I heard it on the ‘classic rock’ stations in town).

Still, even then I knew this fuckin’ rocked.

So it’s only fair that for St. Patrick’s night (even though ‘technically’ its passed) we listen to Thin Lizzy and the traditional drinking song “Whiskey In The Jar”.

And if you don’t know this song or the band.  Well go fuck yourself, google it and beg for forgiveness for your ignorance.

ENJOY!

BTW, Mel - its not our fault that the best music was made before the hoes we plow we even born! 

Okay, this is probably a bit obscure for most, but fuck it.  I’m drunk, you’re not.  It’s my blog, not yours.  So fuck me.

…

…

Or something.  Anyway, here’s Sir Lord Baltimore and “I Got A Woman” - I don’t have a woman, I might have two - but honestly I’d prefer none (on a permanent basis) right now…

Sorry, no live footage on YouTube.  Apologies.

Okay, I’m still looking for news.  Kinda.  You have a sore hand from the Eva Wyrwal pics earlier.  So…

I have a recurring dream where I’m missing a class I forgot to take before graduation and I have gone to class all semester and now its the end and I missed all the tests and basically, I’m fucked.  Nevermind the fact I graduated 20 years ago,  I still get that dream.  In fact, I had it this morning.

In honor of my masochistic subconscious, I give you the lads from Springfield:  Cheap Trick with “Dream Police”.

Now we enter our “musical portion of our show”.  I thought today we’d invite Lemmy and the boys to come by and play one of their softer songs.  I’m sure you’ll enjoy this lullaby.

I give you Motorhead, “Ace Of Spades” (also stay as Lenny introduces the band).
