Anthrax is bringing it. A lot of bands are bringing it this year - a lot of variety and it's all good.
Just remember, love is life and hate is living death...
Treat your life for what it's worth, and live for every breath.

I've driven across Lake Ponchetrain many years ago. It is a weird experience.

Well, Elizabeth got returned by the post office. How about Mandy the hairstylist? I haven't been back nor talked to her since I explained things to her, and since I wouldn't have her touch my hair moving forward anyway, how about her? I think she might have mentioned once that she likes gargoyles...

Thanks, I almost didn't go; glad I went. The venue is called the Morton Amphitheatre, right on the Missouri River. It just opened last June, so is all nice and shiny. More than that, it was well thought out in terms layout, parking, seating. Not a bad seat in the place. Lots of amenities. So, a good place, good music, good company. Fantastic!
The Black Crowes play swampy, earthy style of southern rock, but is more bluesy/hard rock. They're from Georgia, I think the same are that R.E.M. came from.

Southall opened the show. A southern rock group out of Oklahoma, they played like they meant it. Singer blew a few long notes, but frankly it fit the high energy they brought. Over time they could be really good. Whiskey Meyers was the billed opener, and they burned the whole venue down. Holy shit, those guys played like their souls depended on that one performance. Among of the best I've ever seen.
The headliners did the headliner thing and spent an inordinate amount of time getting ready, but they came out swinging. A varied set, about 70% of what they played I had never heard. Of course, not a big fan but have always liked some of their first few records. They played a song called, "No Use Lying," that could have been the theme to a horror show, it was spooky sounding and seemed out of place, but within the constraints of its own vibe it was really good.
Had a great time, seemed like everyone I saw there did as well!

In about 45 minutes I'm heading out to watch the Black Crowes perform live. This is the first "thing" I've done in quite a few years that did not involve a hospital. And except for business, haven't even been out to eat anywhere.
I'm pretty damn anxious about it all. Also looking forward to it. A dichotomy!

I have never heard of Mr. Skinner. So there's one data point, from one person out of 335 million people in the United States who does not know him

I watched that yesterday, cool discussion, but ends right in the middle of a story (one of the times he set Bill on fire). I guess the web cam ran out of film...

Contract schmontract, he'd at least have gone half-way, regardless!
100%. I can't watch the video and listen to the song. It really makes the song a servant of the video - like it's a short story and the song is just background music. Really odd decision on how to present the new single, but I'm not a marketing expert, I just buy records.
I did find the video distracted me from the song, looking for the new release though.

Jorn always makes me want to go listen to Accept to hear some Udo Dirkschneider because he reminds me of someone who -almost- sounds like he could be trying to sound like Udo. The music carries the single, ordered the blue vinyl and a shirt from Iommi's shop.
Frankly, they could have recorded Bill Ward having explosive diarrhea for all the vocals and I would have still bought it

Good to see Tony coming out with tunes, the only person I heard of before was Jorn. Looking forward to hearing the single dropping today.
The title of the new album, "From the Dark," sounds promising. Better than, "I Found My Inner Rainbow"!
