Buzz Burbank took one for the team and got a facelift last Friday. Dr. Bruce Freedman (plasurg.com) was the first sponsor of The Mike O'Meara Show podcast. They had him on the show a few weeks ago and arranged for Buzz to get a facelift for the show. He is the oldest and was almost eager to have it done. The videos were posted yesterday for all to enjoy! Part 1 is actually not too hard to watch, the bright light bleaches out most of the gore. Part 2 is a little more graphic.
He is awake and chatty throughout, yet very drugged. A little over 7 minutes into the first vid he discusses the same study that the Man Flu article I posted Sunday was based on. Buzz, always the ladies man...
You can see part 2 here. Visit TMOS homepage here to listen to Monday's 'Big Reveal!'
Earth Hour or Human Achievement Hour? Lights on or lights off? All very well meaning, I'm sure. It seems like harmless fun to me. It lets some people feel like they have done something and even feel like part of a greater community for the common good. There's nothing wrong with that. I don't care what these people are thinking as long as they continue thinking...
Hello, just checking in. I haven't been posting much because I have been doing some overtime lately. Also, this week is my turn for the 'difficult' project at work. My patience is frayed, my back is sore, and my feet are sorer. Saturday I plan on building the garden so soon there will be more news here. Other than that, all is well. I hope you are enjoying the weather warming!
A week or so ago I emailed posts from my last two shows I attended, W.A.S.P. and Ace Frehley, to an old friend of mine from high school. I had a few drinks and was missing my old heavy metal buddy. You see, he lives in another state now, and is married with 3 kids. We haven't been close in quite a while, but we always seem to touch base once or twice a year anyway. We had a short exchange the other day, so I was thinking of him while surfing bands on youtube.
Back in the late 80's and early 90's he was in a band - before the digital era. Even so, I entered the name of his old band, Dementia, to see what I could find*. After all, there are old videotapes that someone may have converted to share. I used to be able to find their 1991 CD, 'Recuperate from Reality,' on Amazon (for like 50-60$!), I haven't checked in a while, though. I was hoping to see something live on the youtube, but here's all I found. Still, I doubt he knows it's there, until I forward him this post! I hope it makes him smile!
Dementia - 1991 - Say Your Prayers
*There are a couple of other bands with the same name, so if you look I guess you'd have to know it when you see it.
Lucky 13! Another collection of pics from my internet travels. If interested, most of my itinerary is listed in the right column. I fully encourage you to check them out. As usual, some you may have seen, some you may not have seen. Remember to click on the pic to see original size. Discretion may well be advised after the break. Enjoy!
Clutch is a band that I first heard of about a year ago. I liked what I heard, but didn't really investigate them. Since then I've seen them mentioned here or there, another video or two. They will be in Madison in early April and I don't know if I'm curious to see them or not. I've looked at a few live vids from February and I'll listen to their latest album online to check them out more. First impressions, they have a powerful lead singer, videos and live, but I think they lack on guitar, especially live. I might like them more if they had a second guitar player, better guitar player, or just turned it up a little. I've seen the lead singer play guitar on some, that might help. Hmm, I enjoy this kind of research, now I shall go check them a little closer...
This is the first video that I saw a while ago: Clutch - '50,000 Unstoppable Watts'
Edit: Here's the same song live from last month in Australia. Maybe I was too harsh earlier on the guitar sound, we'll see. I'm still looking...
When I saw this I just had to re-post it. I think Joanne posted this for me to share with Delcatto. Okay, maybe not, but that's what I want to think. Anyway, I enjoyed the hell out of this:
Edit: This video would be bigger, but I would have had to sign in to Youtube (it was flagged for content). I used to have an account but can't find or get into it and this wasn't a big enough reason to tackle that right now. Maybe I'll work it out one of these days...
I'm over 50, married and child-free. My wife and I have a home not far from downtown Madison, Wisconsin, since 2009. I like music, taking pictures and good humor - plus writing about it all here. I am still not on farcebook or other social media, only Blogger and YouTube. Email me at scoakatsblog@gmail.com. I check it every so often.
