The Last Bass Outpost

Robertson (as well as Downey and Gorham) think Visconti has a distorted memory on how the album came about...

Ha! Nice comeback. Truth is somewhere in the middle I suppose.

Exactly. DLR has had trouble pitching and remembering lyrics all through his career.
But I've seen him live several times and I can assure you it never bothered me one second. I only remember my big smile from ear to ear. He sure knew how to entertain an audience.
I saw VH with Hagar once and I wanted to leave early because I was bored...

Yeah, DLR is what he is. I've always "gotten" his schtick. He's a major factor in what made VH (the band) VH. Never had any interest in the Hagar stuff. I always thought he was a total cheese ball, aside from the Montrose stuff. Great pipes, but kind of a big dork. 

Yeah ditto for me to! I'm just getting going!

Rock and roll!!! I'm only a year and a half away from 50. 

Nice! Guitar on top.... 

I think they'll find out soon enough that getting her as a judge was a big mistake.  Of course, I don't plan to be watching anyway, just as most people with a taste in music won't be watching. 

I like to think I have "a taste in music" and this is one of the only shows I watch regularly. What can I say? I love a good train wreck! Plus it's fun playing armchair A&R guy/producer. I do start to lose interest as they wind down to the final 4-5 contestants. The show is probably toast at this point anyway. Tyler was great, but with him gone, and last man standing, Randy Jackson (great bass player BTW) leaving, they don't have much going on in the judging department.

Dang, those are some great songs, some of which I remember hearing as a kid in the late '60s and early '70s. RIP, Joe.

I read an article a while back that said simply lowerering your total intake by 100 calories a day will drop 10 pounds in a years time

Interesting. One trick I've been doing for a long time now is, when I make a sandwich for lunch (which is almost every week day), I put everything on ONE piece of bread cut in half. That's a good 100 cals right there. I also drink tons of water, even when I'm boozing it up. Actually, ESPECIALLY when I'm boozing it up! I'm in much better shape at 48 than I was in my mid-late 30s.

You can do it if you adjust your eating habits. Often easier said than done, I know. But on the whole, we eat so much more now than when I was a kid. Bigger portions, more choices. No amount of exercise can overcome that.

I saw a quote that said "You can't out-exercise a bad diet". I'm all about moderation. I don't shy away from pizza, beef sandwiches, cheeseburgers, pasta, tacos, etc., but I eat very little fast food and don't drink much soda. I also exercise religiously.

OK, finally going to post something here! This is the monster rig I brought out last Friday. Top to bottom:

'74 SVT head
custom built (by me) 2x10/1x15 cab
'70s (tilt back) SVT cab

BALLS!  Not to mention tone. The sound guy was cool enough to take both a DI, and mic on the 15, which is my favorite way to go. I typically just use the top cabinet on its wheels, but this particular show was a biggie - 3 bands, with lots of local rock hot shots in the house. Had to bring the biggest gun!
