Thanks to Lucas who is on the opposite side of the continent as Malach, there is a new 8 1/2 by Eleven! DAMN YOU PACIFIC TIME! Oh yeah, bring Cinn back, I love her!
You are listening too . . . .
We have swtiched gears to another Artist who should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; to Tom Waits. You all know my love for Tom Waits, but do you know he has never even been nomimated? That is insane. You got influiential but underground acts like the Velvet Underground, Parliament-Funkadelic, Patti Smith, Leonard Cohen, but not Tom Waits? That’s just crazy. Waits and Cohen are like brothers in arms, huge popular musicians musicians, who’s songs have been bigger hits for other people than themselves.
Waits especially, this early song Ol’ 55 was a huge hit for the Eagles. But what Waits tranformed himself into later in life is so different than this song. He has a whole generation of musician my age and older inspired by him. TOM WAITS IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME NOW!
Well now . .
Bye bye Rush. Good, I don’t support Rush, neither would I support Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson owning a team either.
RIP Captain Lou Albano
Right out of my childhood 1980′s Captain Lou Albano was amazing, both in wrasslin’ and out. He played a great heel, was really funny, and from people who new and all around great guy to be around. Rubber Bands in the beards for everyone! This is for Captain Lou! RIP
Malach’s Video of the Day
I am Malach, and was there anything cooler in the 70′s than Scandanavia?
There is a new comic up, by the way. I just update on PACIFIC TIME, you EAST COASTER.
Anyways, I have never listened to a lot of Tom Waits but this post made me appreciate him a lot more… this is a BEAUTIFUL SONG. Thank you for posting it.
your video of the day is giving me the heebie jeebies – thank you for the Tom Waits antidote
I can’t believe Captain Lou bit the bullet!
Lucas: Oh please bring Cinn back! Tom Waits, he has had a very interesting musical journey over the years . .
Nurse: Scandanavia rocks!
Dr. John: Sorry your Dad died.
Tom Waits isn’t in it? I’m shocked to the core. I just assumed…….I need another drink. Disgraceful behaviour……
Four Dinners: LIke that is any different than other musicians?
