  1. I just saw Alice Friday night in Atlantic City, House of Blues.

    Awesome show. In ways unlike any other Alice concert, but in ways, just like all others.

    He is metal, crazy, outrageous, absolutely nuts and insane all at the same time. It's Alice Cooper!!!

    Last night was Atlantic City, House of Blues. Around noon I snuck in my camcorder to record the show. I know - shame on me, but couldn't resist. Pretty much the same show as monday. same songs. order, etc. Seemed to flow easier and the crowd was more rocking in a/c. After the show i went over to a door which goes to the back of the stagge area. It was unlocked so I went in and walked around. One big room with equipment all over the place and another room with tables and chairs set up. I went in the farthest room with the tables and chairs and all of a sudden I hear voices coming. I stepped behind the curtain and hid. In comes about a dozen people, security, concert promotor and they do a meet and greet right there with me behind the curtain. How embarrassing if I got caught, but I didn't. Then after twenty minutes they all cleared out. Then about another twenty-five people come in and line up for another meet and greet.I stepped from behind the curtain and jumped in line and got to do the meet and greet for free. It was cool. I told him it was my sixteenth Alice show and that my first was Constrictor tour in 1986 in Albany. He mentioned his guitar player at the time who came from my hometown. Kane Roberts. I got my pix taken and away I went. When I left I went to my car and through the valet area. When I did their tour bus was there. I stood outside of it with another couple and one by one the whole band came out, got to meet them and they all signed my first row ticket from Monday night, including Alice who signed it at the meet and greet. What a killer time. Met the entire band and Alice.f Front row monday, all over the place on Friday and video which i'm recording onto DVD now.

    Gotta love Alice!!!!

    A W E S O M E !

    Although I have never got to have a "One-on-One" with Alice -- yet, in 1972 (or was it 1973 ? ?), just before the band's performance in Dallas, I was standing at the halfway point on the ramp that overlooks the corridor between the dressing rooms and the entrance to the backstage area. All of the band members had left the dressing room to go to the stage, excepting Alice.

    Then, out strolls Alice, all by his lonesome. I yelled out to him: "Hey Alice !"

    He looked up toward me, and with the beer he held in his hand, Alice saluted me.

    Then Alice walked across the corridor to the stage.

  2. Thanks Nine Lives... and Rover that was great. This forum has people who really love music of all kinds.

    You're Welcome DJ....

    The Blind Lemmon Jefferson "It's Nobody's Fault But Mine"

    "Media" You Tube link I posted doesn't seem to be appearing now.

    Oooops.... I had my Firewall setting too High.... I had the "Animated Adds" Blocked, but unblocked that so that You Tube and the Media would work here !

  3. This story about my high school --> http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-notre-dame-city-zone-14-aug14,0,132398.story

    It's depressing. My 10-year reunion is next year and I won't be able to have it in the place I actually went to school. Their total enrollment this year was 218 girls - I had 120 in my graduating class 9 years ago. I think we were close to 1,000 students that year. Now the whole school will be on one floor of an elementary school.

    Tragic.

    I don't know.... there were over 400 in my HS graduating class....

    Our 10 year Reunion took place in big Hotel Ballroom, as the HS gym would have been a little crowded with the alums and their wives...

    Funny thing about the 10 yr reunion.... the assholes of the school... were still very much so.

    It was the 20 yr reunion that showed who these people really were.... by looks and by attitude.... The class joker was now an uptight investment banker.... That ahole was just working the HS "system" because he could.... I know God's just, because he had kids, who became teens one day, and you see.... there's the payback... !!!! God's not in a hurry in squaring things off .... He's got All of the Time in the World !!

  5. I saw this You Tube Video of the Trojan Vibrating Touch Fingertip Massager.

    These adds are shown on TV. The CMT channel showed it while running the PG rated baseball film "The Field of Dreams".

    Imagining the older woman on the TV add using the product... was just "creepy"

    Beautiful in B&W.... without the gloss and the makeup.....

    You need to get over the gloss and the makeup.... which won't mean a thing, when you're in bed!

    Didn't you know that yet ? ? ? :D

  7. Marijuana legalization, should we do it?

    Why yes, of course.....

    In fact, I'm for a complete reversal.....

    Pot Legal... and alcohol illegal.....

    It's time to put those "bubbas" in the "system"... behind bars....

    Outside Looking In....

    Inside Looking Out

  8. They are cutting and edging the grounds today where I live.

    It's a FUCKING National Holiday (US Memorial Day Observed)....

    Don't they have anything better to do ? ? ? ?

    Oh, right.... I guess it's not a Holdiay from where they are from (South of the Border, I'm sure!!)

  9. Bullet with Steve McQueen was another must see B)

    I agree..... That movie was totally satisfying to me.

    I have not wanted to see another "car shase" movie since.

    The Fast & Furious movies have not gotten me out to see them yet.

    I really don;t go and see many movies. The new ones have so many disapointments for all they are cracked up to be. The word "greatness" has been greatly bastardized, especially when it comes to modern movie going. The bar was lowered a long time ago it seems.

    There is, I suppose good 'crap' out there.... but.... Greatness.... few and far between.

    That's what I like to spend my money on .... Greatness...... theo other is not necessary!
