I feel myself pigeon-holed here.  :-\

And then ... the unspeakable, excruciating cruelty of comments such as this one:

"Even though you'll never admit it, your Explorer days are behind you."

I'm a Veteran of a Thousand Psycho Bass Guys, all my scars are on the inside ...



That Metallica clip is living proof for what I have always said: Ever since Hetfield learned to sing (a bit) he is a dead ringer for Eric Bloom.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

You believe there truly is a market out there for an S&M fetish reworking of "Die Liebe hält uns zusammen!!!" (Love will keep us together) with me attired in an SS-Gruppenführer uniform, Rammstein doing the background vocals and Gwyneth Scarlett Johansson being mein Fräulein Tännille? I like how you think. It's an enticing proposition ...



Speaking of the real thing, man was that synth bass busy!!!

He learned to sing? I could swear he just learned to whine in (sorta) key.

...and in my defense, you haven't mentioned your spalted Explorer in quite awhile.

In vital late-breaking breaking musical industry news, it has just been reported that The Captain and Tennille are divorcing after 38 years of marriage.   :-[

You're late to the party, Al. That's the whole reason I brought up an Uwe/Tennille duo on the previous page.  ;D

Is there any truth in the rumour that Colorado has its own time zone...?
