My momma talkin' to me tryin' to tell me how to live But I don't listen to her 'cause my head is like a sieve My daddy, he disowned me 'cause I wear my sister's clothes He caught me in the bathroom with a pair of pantyhose My basketball coach, he done kicked me off the team For wearin' high-heel sneakers and actin' like a queen ------ lead guitar ------ The world's comin' to an end, I don't even care As long as I can have a limo and my orange hair And it don't bother me if people think I'm "funny" 'Cause I'm a big rock star and I'm makin' lots of money money, money, money, money, money, money Ahhh! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... I'm so bloody rich! Ha ha ha ha I own apartment buildings and shopping centers! Ha ha ha ha And I only know three chords! Ha ha ha ha

This is the story of a young couple in Portland, Maine. While waiting for her husband Don to return home from work, she reaches for a can of anchovies. As she spreads the tiny fish across a piece of lettuce, she notices a small note at the bottom of the can. Written on it is a telephone number. Curious, she dials, and is told, "Don't move, lady, we'll be right over." Placing the phone back on the hook, she turns to see three smartly dressed men standing in her kitchen doorway. Before she realizes what is happening to her, she is rolled tightly in long sheets of cellophane, transported to an international airport, and placed on a waiting jet-liner. All this being too much for her to comprehend, she passes out. Upon awakening, she finds herself in a strange, foreign speaking nation ("Dalas nekcihc dna tihs nekcihc neewteb ecnereffid eht wonk ot suineg a ekat t'nseod ti."). Alone, fearing her escape impossible, she seeks comfort in the arms of a confidential agent. With the trace of her kiss still warm upon his lips, he betrays her to the hands of three scientists who are engaged in diabolical, avant-garde experiments previously performed only on insects and other small, meaningless creatures. Using her as their subject, they are delighted with the results. For the first time, a human being is transformed into a ("shhh... top secret"). Meanwhile, back in Portland, Maine... Her husband Don, now chain-smoking 40 packs of cigarettes a day, sits at a local bar and has a few beers with the regulars. Bored, everyone's attention turns to the television set that just hangs from the wall. ("Welcome to Bowling for Dollars"). Suddenly, crazy Al says, "S-say, Don, there sure is something familiar about that bowling ball." To which a terrified Don replies, "Oh my God! That bowling ball! It's my wife!" And the lesson we learn from this story is, next time you place your order, don't forget to say, "No anchovies please."

"The Far Side Of The World" - Jimmy Buffett

My 69 year old father loathes the Beach Boys. Mom *hated* AC/DC's "The Jack" and Chuck Berry's "My Ding A Ling". Whenever quarters were doled out when we were in restaurants, it was always with the stern instruction NOT to play "that song". But my traitorous fingers would always punch up A14 or whatever number it was listed under, Dad would crack up, and Ma would deliver a look that would shrivel a raw porkchop. I played her Khia's "My Neck, My Back" a couple of years ago. She laughed..........

The Cramps Like A Bad Girl Should A Preacher goes insane The Spirit Of Troof "Satisfaction" like you've never heard it. I found this oddly disturbing when I first viewed it on Saturday Night Live. And it doesn't get much weirder than this

On a hurricane tossed Lake Superior, the Edmund Fitzgerald went down with all hands. 7:10 tonight will mark 31 years.. Tribute to the Fitzgerald.

He should have known she wasn't a virgin, what, with the tattoo on her left leg, and the garter on her right. If this is the devil's music, then hell ain't a bad place to be. Angus is one of the greatest guitarists on the planet. Awesome guitar face...

KISSology For Halloween 10/20/06 (PR) For the KISS Army, the release this Halloween of "KISSology: Volume One 1974-1977" marks the arrival of nothing less than a Holy Grail: 6 solid hours of vintage KISS going all the way back to the deep early roots of the band's classic line-up -- Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss -- captured and re-mastered on 2 state-of-the-art DVDs featuring more than 70 live performances and four full concerts bundled along with unreleased tracks and never-before-seen footage. The mind-boggling first volume of a definitive three part collection (Volumes Two and Three are being readied for release in 2007) presented by VH1 Classic, "KISSology: Volume One 1974-1977" is a showcase of pristine digitally-restored video coupled with a 5.1 audio mix to provide both stunning visual quality and powerhouse finely-detailed sound designed to meet the approval of the most demanding KISSmaniac. "KISSology: Volume One 1974-1977" goes all the way back one of the band's earliest live performances in the New York pre-punk glam rock bar scene of the early 1970s before tracing the rocket-paced transformation of KISS into international rock gods who filled the world's largest arenas as the undisputed hottest band in the land by 1977.

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Is there any wonder why thay are the greatest band on the face of the planet? Awesome.

This isn't a 'costume', per se, but your dessert offering will be remembered, and more importantly, talked about, for Halloween's to come.. This is for all you cooks out there looking for something a little different......... WANT TO HAVE FUN AT A PARTY? PREPARE THIS RECIPE! COMPLETELY EDIBLE, BUT YOUR FRIENDS MAY NOT THINK SO!

Prepare pudding and chill. Crumble cookies in small batches in blender or food processor. Add a few drops of green food coloring to 1 cup of cookie crumbs. Mix with a fork or shake in a jar. Set aside. 2) When cakes are at room temperature, crumble them into a large bowl. Toss with half of the remaining cookie crumbs and enough pudding to make the mixture moist but not soggy.

Edna, this is deeply deeply profound, and will stay with me for a long time.... Thanks.

Not really a musician, but the works of Canadian author Robert W. Service were required reading in grade school, and I am glad they were. This is Hank Snow, reading The Cremation Of Sam McGee

Oh, but you are wrong..... Monday mornings that look like this go a long ways......

I didn't say you couldn't post on any other day, I said put things here that ease the burden of Mondays.

"He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask)" Alice Cooper John Carpenter's "Theme From Halloween".

Tell me you wouldn't love to do any one of those things.... The dolphins leading the ship... Man o Man.....

Only post things here that will ease the agony of Mondays. This is a good start. It's 5 o'clock Somewhere.

I was overjoyed to find this. This is the way I want to live my life, and all Hail Jimmy. The way he is in that sunfish sailboat at the end of the vid? Heh heh... yeah! . The luckiest man on the planet.... I adore Jimmy.... The Far Side Of The World

Don't buy food from the same place you purchase your gasoline.

Here are a couple of clips from some movies I have loved. That Thing You Do! Totally loved this movie, and the music was awesome... This was all I could find on Eddie and the Cruisers another film that has stayed with me through the years. Sorry. But this is the greatest Godda**ed movie ever committed to celluloid. Ladies and gentlemen, The Blues Brothers I have included the mall chase because it is the funniest thing I have ever seen. At 42 years old, I have seen this film well in excess of 300X. No one watches it with me because I can recite it as it plays. I couldn't find a video for the Tina Turner bio-pic "What's Love Got To Do With It?", but Angela Bassett did an awesome job as Tina. The music in the film was stellar. It's an old movie, but good enough that I replaced my VHS copy with a DVD copy. If you've not seen LaBamba it is a pretty great way to kill a rainy Saturday Afternoon . Dennis Quaid did a pretty good job portraying Jerry Lee Lewis in Great Balls of Fire! Strip all the hype away, and this is still an awesome film. Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles. This film is a brilliant study of one of Rock's most intelligent bands, Ladies and Gentlemen, This, is Spinal Tap.
