Happy Birthday Michael Bolton!!!

No, not that Michael Bolton.
The one that used to be in a band with Bruce Kulick.
Yes, that Bruce Kulick, of KISS fame. The band was called Blackjack, and didn’t sound terrible (unlike Michael Bolton’s later solo work, which make my ears bleed in a very bad way).

So why am I wishing [...]

By the power of Grayskull!

Scrolling through HBO On Demand this morning, I decided to watch “Hot Fuzz,” dubbed in the synopsis as an “action spoof.” I wasn’t sure what exactly to expect…I didn’t really want a “Scary Movie” type of film, but there wasn’t much else to choose from. I’m glad I hit that play button, because this is [...]

Mike Piazza is a rocker

So this morning, I was bored. I started surfing through my cable’s On Demand selections and watched a couple of episodes of “That Metal Show” with Eddie Trunk and a couple of guys I’ve never heard of. It’s a cool show, funny at times, and they do nothing but talk about hard rock and heavy [...]

Tomorrow, on a very special Hard Rock Nights…

We’ll be joined on the telephone by Joel Valentine, lead singer for T.Y.R. Tonight You Rock! T.Y.R. was band that was active in the late 1980s in California, but was overlooked when the companies were handing out record contracts. Last year, Retrospect Records released All Comes Down To You, a collection of some of T.Y.R.’s [...]

Let’s Do Some Math

I used to drink 7-8 Code Red soft drinks a day. 190 calories per can, that’s 1330-1520 calories in soda alone. A common meal on a work night was Arby’s 5 for $5.95 deal – 4 melts and a medium order of curly fries. That’s another 1688 calories. Some nights would be a medium Dominos [...]

I really couldn’t care less about the Super Bowl

But Bruce Springsteen is awesome.
