1) What's all this about Liddell getting knocked out by Jackson? Nobody ever tells me a damn thing. I call shenanigans.
2) Joe Biden is still alive? Serious?
3) The band Boston's most famous song got stuck in my head recently, so I pulled it up on Youtube for a listen. Scanning the comments, I found out that Brad Delp died this last March. Bummer. Double bummer if you happen to be listening to 'More than a Feeling' when you find out:
So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
As clear as the sun in the summer sky
I need more popular media or something.
Sipping aqua vitae, spitting aqua fortis.
Karl,
ReplyDeleteI share your sentiment. Boston's music is quality in my eyes. The guitar riff before the chorus in that song is priceless even though some may say it's cheesy. I think it's better than any Journey song.
Did you see how he died? Charcoal-burning suicide. After some reading I see it originated in HK and it's fairly new as a process. Don't know what the deal is with these lonely rockers. Getting old must be a bitch when you're used to doing rails of stardust.
It's weird. I had no use for Boston when I was young. I went straight from AC/DC to Billy Idol, and the only bands from the 70's that I gave any credit to were The Who and The Ramones. Now there are all kinds of old bands whose music springs into my mind and stubbornly sits there. Next flashback- Bob Seger.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree- Delp's suicide is depressing, and suicide among rich, famous people is incomprehensible.
I thought it was started in Japan. Anyways next time you see someone buying a hibachi, give them a big hug. You might just save their life.
ReplyDeleteIf Jackson is Irish then I heard the same story. If not, then I'm very bad at spinning the rumor mill.
