Kudos to all cast and crew of this production. I have been to a number of productions in the past and this was without a doubt one of the better plays. It was worth the trip. 4.5-5 hours(one way,I might add).Definitely looking forward to future productions.

Santana

2005-11-17T11:42:00.000-08:00

Santana does have a new CD out.
This CD does have a number of guest singers on it.
I must say I do prefer his early music.I suppose age does mellow people.
Another example of mellowing is Elton John. He certainly did rock in the beginning.
All this just came to me and I thought I'd put it in print.
Have a happy day.

Queen

2005-06-15T11:46:00.000-07:00

I heard about the karaoke of Bohemian Rhapsody. That would be a tough song to do.
But who better to pull it off than a few good actors and the rest of the oh so versatile BMAS crew.

Speaking of Queen,they are on tour. Billed as Queen + Paul Rodgers.
Paul Rodgers was former frontman/singer for Free and Bad Company.

Out of curiosity,who did the part of Freddie Mercury?

The Beatles

2005-05-07T21:59:00.000-07:00

The Beatles "1" CD reached the ten million mark in sales. Not surprising.
5 other Beatles albums reached that mark. Can't remember them all. A few are: the "White Album","Sgt. Pepper's",one of their early albums,one of their "greatest hits albums"{they had 2 of these},I think"Revolver".
The Beatles"1"CD,35 years after their breakup.
There's no way in hell any of today's groups would come even remotely,remotely,remotely close to what The Beatles have accomplished.
The Beatles were so diverse. They changed the direction of music in a phenomenal way.
So there you have it boys and girls. Without a doubt,the greatest rock band ever.

You're welcome. Have a happy day.

Who Did

2005-04-09T23:12:00.000-07:00

Who did the song "The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks?

Gonzo

2005-04-07T09:29:00.000-07:00

Hunter S. Thompson's ashes will be blasted from a cannon mounted inside a 16 metre high sculpture of the journalist's "gonzo fist" emblem.

The cannon shot,planned for August on the grounds of the Aspen area home, will fulfill the writer's long cherished wish.
It's expensive,but worth every penny,Anita Thompson said. I'd like to have several explosions. He loved explosions.
Thompson, after a long and flamboyant career that produced such journalism classics as "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"and cast his image as a hard charging, drug-crazed daredevil.
The "gonzo fist" will be mounted on a 30 metre high pillar,making the monument more than 45 metres high. It will resemble Thompson's personal symbol,a fist on an upthrust forearm,sometimes with "Gonzo" emblazened acroaa it.
The monument will be a permanent fixture on the writer's 40 hectare property.
This should be a real blast.

"Rock and Roll Hoochie Coo". Long before that Derringer fronted a band called The McCoys. The
big hit song."Hang on Sloopy." There you have it. I'll leave you with this. American Idol. Does anybody really care?
