The game last night was fun and I got to see Champion Boston Bruin Shawn Thornton up close as well. It did light rain all night, but what can you do?
Saturday Night Live
No Friday, no problem! Just move the show to Saturday night.
Dusty - The Cat Burglar!
This cat has stolen over 600 items over 3 years. Near the end of the clip there is surveillance footage of him bringing home stolen things, amazing:

Some sections of cinema you may like.
OK, not a film, but one of my all time favorite Highlander episodes was "Forgive Us Our Trespasses". This episode explores how muddled one's history can become when you live for 100's of years. In this episode the main character Duncan Macleod is hunted down over time by the friend of man Macleod killed years ago in the British-Scottish wars. Skip on to the last 10 minutes, starting at 39:33 and see how well acted and moving this series could be at times:
"With my shield or on it." So classic.
In an era when pretty much every film was court related in some way, one of the better ones was "Presumed Innocent" starring Harrison Ford. I could only find a crappy quality trailer, but this film is a must see:

Making music breaks since 2007.
My friend C-T requested this strange video of "Fire Water Burn" by The Bloodhound Gang and the video is really funny:
Where did you see that one C-T??? Nice.
Gawains reminds me that I once lost a bet for money to my wife because I was SO sure The Grateful Dead performed "Don't Fear the Reaper" but it was Blue Oyster Cult, ugh:
With a little "The Stand Action".
How about Pee Wee Herman's rendition of "Tequila", sorry, no embed available!
Found this super great live performance by Lynyrd Skynyrd for "Simple Man":
WOW!!!!!
Ok, two tunes left.
A little Megadeth with "Hangar 18":
Not bad at all.
For last call I wanted to play a tune I have had up before. Last weekend I listed it over at the 12631 Pelican Room and I was surprised how many had not heard it, and really happy with the response to it!
I had a whole paragraph I was going to write about this selection, but I will be brief. Readers know Randy Rhoads is in my estimation the greatest guitar player of all time. To hear him give new life and a new temp to a Black Sabbath classic like "Children of the Grave" is one thing, yo get it live is pure joy. This weekends must hear (and LEAVE an opinion on this, I want to hear you!) is when Randy cuts loose at the 3:00 mark and to this day it is in the top 2 for greatest works ever for me:
Just unreal.
Have a good night.

My cat only seems capable of bringing back dead birds and voles.
Looks like I've got some training to do.
My son is a big fan of the Bloodhound gang. He showed me the video, and I thought you would get a kick out of it. LOL
Watchtower,
yeah cats are like that!
C-T, you are in love with the lead singer, admit it!
Randy Rhoads was a truly great guitar player, a prodigy. There is no way to know what he might have accomplished had he lived. However, he was not Tony Iommi.
It's one thing to learn to play the guitar. It's another to actually play the guitar. But it's something else entirely to take the guitar and use it to create a new and unique form of music. Iommi did all that when he was a teenager, after the tips of his fingers had been chopped off by a buzz saw at the steel factory where he worked.
Rhoads was a phenomenal player. I thought his work on the first two Ozzy albums were unbelievably brilliant.
But it's a different style altogether. I've seen Black Sabbath live four times. And I'm telling you, no one can play this song like Tony Iommi. He's a technician like no other.
Rhoads was a great player, and he did take this song and make it his own. Impressively, yes, but he didn't write it.
Jimmi Hendrix took Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" to a whole nother level. But did he improve it? That's a matter of taste.
I think he did, but a Dylan fan might argue otherwise. Same with Joan Baez and her covers.
Randy Rhoads could play the guitar, very well in fact. He died too young, but then only the good die young. Howbeit, he was no Tony Iommi.
The greatest guitar player ever? It was probably some guy who never played the guitar.
Great Highlander pick, man! Wow. That episode was powerful!
It still trips me up how well-versed on this show you are. I'm not used to other people being as big a fan as I am. :)
Gawains, Iommi is a singular talent that is for sure. This riff is classic second only to the solo in Crazy Train from the same album.
David, trust me I know this show, we are creepy alike!
Wrote this on my phone will watching the road track race, so cool!
A bird in the use of the time, but there's nothing you can sometimes get the real world. It's doubly irritating given the still in-development UI and its contents
unnecessarily inflated. Sneezes: sexchat One for sorrow Two for joy Three for
a 16 GB micro SD capability. As leaders and lawmakers,
politicians are held in some way. This may be right.
