Keepin’ it real!
What is going on in the world today? What has happened to the logic behind the good Samaritan? Luke 10:25-37 says “On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” He answered: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind” and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live. But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his cloths, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him, ‘he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburce you for any extra expense you may have. “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers? The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do like-wise.” NIV
I’m writing about this because I try to help others out when I see the need as the Spirit directs me. How much better would this world be if we all followed the golden Samaritan rule. I know in today’s society that you have to be careful and not put yourself in a bad situation. I recently saw an old lady that had ran out of gas sitting in traffic crying unsure of what to do as cars honked and when around her not caring what her problem was. I stopped and approached her car, wearing my biker attire, and asked if she needed some help, she was amazingly surprised that someone finally stopped to help her. I pushed her car off to the side of the road in a safe location and ran to my house got a gas can and took her 5 gallons of gas and got her car started. It only took about fifteen minutes out of my day to help insure her safety. She thanked me to no end and offered to pay me for my time and for the gas. I refused payment from her. It was my time to be the good Samaritan. As Matthew 6 :1-4 tells us not to do our acts to be seen by men but to be seen by our Father in heaven, which is where your rewards will be given. Hopefully the next time you see someone in distress and feel the urge to help, please by all means help them out, without expecting or accepting anything from the one’s you help. I’m sure you will feel better about yourself and know that the person you help will feel better about the world we live in. God bless, until next time.

“Star Ship Troopers 3” Movie Review
“Star ship Troopers”. The first movie in this series released back in 1997 freaking rocked and you even got to see Denise Richard’s boobs before she turned in a reality show nightmare and a spoiled little skinny bitch. I mean so what if Charlie asked you to “dress up” for him in the bedroom and be naughty for him. Come on, you’re an actress, play the part. Charlie has enough money that I would dress up for him and I don’t have a gay bone in my body.
Anyway back to the series. The first movie rocked. The bugs were cool and the CGI effects were great. The whole idea of intelligent bugs fighting back is clever. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a must see. The propaganda commercials during the movie are so real and over the top. “Join the Federation, become a Citizen”. I think it’s a sign of how things will be in the not too distant future. (Not the bug fights but the Government Propaganda. Hey wait, we may already be there!) Fast forward to the second movie in the set “Heroes of the Federation” was also well done. The set up was a little different but still a good movie to watch. The bugs kicked major ass.
So on to the third installment “Star Ship Troopers Marauder” it should at least be in the same ball park as the other two, right? Wrong answer, it sucked out loud. In fact it sucked harder than the band Coheed and Cambria that was with Slipknot the other night, but that’s a different review. I mean what a waste of tape and even though they brought back Johnny Rico, He couldn’t save it either. They over used a line made famous by Lt. Commander Worf from Star Trek. “Today is a good day to die”. Not to mention they sort of poked fun at God throughout the movie. Once again, our future is hinted in the movie and I will give it props for that. By this time all religions are banned and the Government will hang anyone that is anti-Government. That part was good but the jist of the movie was about a guy trying to find “God” and during the movie he keeps quoting scripture and saying “God” talks with me everyday. But not to give the secret away but it’s not God he was talking to. (SPOILER ALERT) He was talking to the “Brain of all Brain” bugs. The story line of the movie was extremely weak and the CGI was awful. It was definitely and awful low budget movie shot straight to DVD. My wife and I watched it and we both agreed it was a waste of 105 minutes of our time. I give it one brain bug out of five.

My New Urologist
As men age, we start seeing more and more of the medical world and its employees, which nowadays seems to have more and more women as our Physicians and Therapists , etc., and in this case a new Urologist for me. My family Doctor just recently referred me to a recent graduate, female urologist. I saw her yesterday, and she’s absolutely drop-dead gorgeous… She told me that I must stop masturbating. I asked her why, and she said, “Because I’m trying to examine you……”

A husband and wife and their two sons are watching TV. She looks at her husband and winks at him, he gets the message and says, “Excuse us for a few minutes boys, we’re going up to our room for a little while.”
Pretty soon one of the boys becomes curious, goes upstairs and sees the door to his parents bedroom is ajar. He peeks in for a few minutes, trots downstairs, gets his little brother and takes him up to peek into the bedroom.
“Before you look in there,” he says, “keep in mind this is the same woman who smacked our asses just for sucking our thumbs.”

A mother is in the kitchen making supper for her family when her young daughter walks in. “Mommy, where do babies come from?” After thinking about it for a moment, the mother explains, “Well, dear, a girl and a boy fall in love and get married. Then, one night they go into their room, hug and kiss, and have sex.” The child looks puzzled. The Mother continues, “That means that daddy puts his penis in the mommy’s vagina. That’s how you get a baby, dear.” The child replies, “But, the other night when I came into your bedroom, you had daddy’s penis in your mouth. What do you get when you do that, Mommy?” “Jewelery, dear.”

Dog The Bounty Hunter “You’re A Freakin’ Douche”
“I already hate that son of a bitch” is what Duane “The Dog” Chapman recently said on one of his episodes of the reality show “Dog, The Bounty Hunter”. He was refering to an “Ice” dealer named Pana that he was revoking bail on. First, I want to applaud Dog and his team for taking bail jumpers off of the streets of Hawaii. After Jack Lord died Hollywood could no longer call on Steve McGarrett and “book ’em Danno” to keep them clean so up pops “The Dog”. Have you ever watched it? His team runs around with paintball guns and pepper spray to subdue anyone that attempts to run away. I guess he is not allowed to carry weapons since he himself is a former felon and served time for a murder for which he proclaims his innocence. I can’t blame the guy there, only he and God knows the truth. So back to why I feel like he is “The Douche Bag of the week”. Ever watch the show? Well, there is a repeating pattern for every case and its almost always the same. They huddle in the office of the Da Kine Bail Bonds business and discuss who they are attempting to capture. That’s not where the problem is. What happens next is. It is so scripted. First off, he’ll chase whomever it is he is chasing. Most of the time it’s his younger sons’ that catch the “bad guy” and then Dog will come into the scene and start cussing and name calling the perpretrator like he did Pana on last night’s episode. Dog called him a mother fucking piece of scum among other things and held him by the back of his hair. The guy was already handcuffed and definitely not going anywhere. He never even put up a fight. So there was Dog, doing what he always does after the guy is safely restrained, talking smack about him. Then Dog asked Leland to put him in the truck. Dog’s wife Beth, will next talk to any wives or girlfriends of the before mentioned capturee. After that, Dog will offer the captured soul a cigarette and most times a sandwich. Then, he’ll have the captured guy call his mother and tell her he loves her. Then after all of that, Dog will get in the truck with him to give him the same speech he gives to just about everyone he arrests. I’ve been where you been bro” … and then before he is taken into the jail they pray with the guy they just ran down and captured. He does this week after week. Once again, so scripted … It’s almost like there is a Hollywood script reader there with a clip board an a ink pen saying ” Capture bad guy” check. Talk smack to him “check”. Have Leland put him/her into the truck “Check”. Beth talk with female “Check”. And every once in awhile hollering “Dog, we need a reshoot, you forgot to offer them a smoke”. So that’s why Dog is the Douche Bag of the week, not for what he does in keeping the streets clean but for sacrificing his integrity for Hollywood and money and following the same old template each week … I just wonder if the paintball guns and pepper spray would work in “Watts”?

Ten Questions With Jesse Wininger
1. Hey Jesse, welcome to Kickacts. com. Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Well, I was born in 1953, the same year as Playboy, and the Corvette, happily we are all still around!I started in music way back at Harwood grade school, then I was in everything music related at North, back then we had some great drummers there,which were older than me…Pat Moore, Mark Wichser, Mark Savage, Jeff Taylor..I was in the marching band, pep band, concert choir..you name it
2. You currently play drums in the band “Common Ground”. Tell us about the band and who is in it and the website address you guys can be found at.
Common Ground has been around for 4 years now, Chad and Brian Lynch are brothers, and come from a musical family. Their Dad Paul playedin a top country band around here in the 60’s and 70’s..” Country Inc”…Chad was originally a drummer, he is multi-talented and decided one day to quit hauling around drums and talk to me about forming a band. i had always told him if he made the switch that I would like to work w/ him. i worked with Brian in a few bandsand so I was convinced this would work. our schedule and info is at http://www.myspace.com/commongroundcountry also on bandnut.com, what we strive for is our vocals, those guys sing great, and we have 3 lead singers…I feel our vocals is what stands out, when you hear us.We are a cover band new country and classic rock..Big and Rich..to Judas Priest..!!
3. What type of gear do you use?
my main kit is a 2007 Gretsch 6pc, with a Gibraltar rack, Zildjian cymbals, DW 5002 pedals. I just bought a Ludwig Vistalite acrylic 3 pc kit, amber in color, that I use on some gigs too, acrylic definitly has a different drum sound…bright with alot of volume, I spend my money at Forks Drum Closet in Nashville, if I need something…they are one of the best drum shops anywhere.
4. So when you were traveling on the road, did you travel in a station wagon or one of those old smoky diesel buses? Ever paid your dues and froze your ass off in what ever you were in?
This is hard to believe now..our bass player was a mechanic and we restored a 1961 Ford Econoline van..back in those days our equipment fit in it , this is before Subs, and high end PA..it was all hi impedance gear then..and we took a car with us too,.this was before cell phones, GPS..so we got lost sometimes…we ran from Cleveland to Savannah.. we had 5 of us in a room, we were tight with our money..I remember going from cleveland to Monroe Lousiana…one gig to another and sleeping on the floor of a 1972 LTD..the tranmission hump was uncomfortable..lol..but I was 18 ….youth on my side.
5. Do you have any “greatest gig ever” stories to tell?
greatest gigs…they are all great in the respect that im playing music that particular night, what more can you ask?but when I was living in California I had a great club The Cattle Baron..w/ the mechanical bull, this was the Urban Cowboy craze..that band had terry chrisftofferson from Buck Owens…In 1972 I was on the road and there was another The Stables in mentor, Ohio.. a 300 seat clubthe executive in paducah ky was cool back in the day…
6. And in the same vien, got any “worst gig ever” stories to share?
One of the worst was in 1972, we were at a gig scheduled for 2 weeks, for some reason the clubowner was a control freak, bitching between sets etc.we called our agent, he told us to get outta there at the end of the first week, he re- booked us some where else, another time at Johnny’s Inn on morgan avenue,after the club was closed, the manager was drunk and shot off a few rounds out of his gun..a bullet went thru 2 drums.the next day, he was apologetic, and bought me 2 new drums!!
7. You have been playing since 1968, correct? What was it like in the beginning and do you have any advice for the young musicians up and coming in this area?
you can’t imagine the scene in the 60’s and 70’s if you werent old enought to remember, When i was in high school there were after football game shows in these little towns, a teen club in grayville, Oakland City, jasper calumet, kramers lake and Wes-lake,….just a bunch of gigs back then, the was an agency booking bands locally even then…I got my first steady gig by posting an ad at Dallas Music. there were some great bands then, Unpredictables, Free Reign, Turks, Chocolate Haystack, The Vikings…these were bands that played the area, most guys were in high scool…When I came off of the road, there were all kinds of clubs here, I was playing 4-6 nights a week, so many places had bands it was crazy, i played full time until 2000, from 1974 until then my only job was in a band somewhere.i played a long time at the Exective Inns when Bob Green was alive and the owner…all 3 had music 6 nights a week, plus The evansville one had a showroom,with a house ochresta..imagine that! My buddy gary Stephans played in that band and backed alot of stars in those days.I saw Jerry lee Lewis, kenny Rogers with The first edition..Little Richard…Green booked major talent in those days,,..it was happenin’russell lloyd construction killed a couple of clubs, plus alot of clubs aren’t around anymore, for example, captain den, Joe’s bar, Country palace, Bridgeview, El matador,Red garter, Trixies Alibi, Duffys tavern, Red Fox…it aint the same now! about 1982 or ’83 the first drunk driving laws, changed the business to an extent.As far as advice for younger guys…well the biggest problem is finding a place to play and learn the ropes..i had it easier when I was a kid..there were gigs.I was playing in strip bars at 17…until they checked my I.D. The internet is a good tool for getting yourself out there, but what is needed in my view,obvoiusly is more gigs!!
8. Who are your heroes and what inspired you to take up playing?
My heroes..Buddy Rich and the reason Im playing drums probably is Ringo and the Beatles…when they hit it was a cultural shock..never been the same.suddenly guys wanted to learn an instrument and play in a band…meet girls, play music, grow your hair long and piss off your parents..Also I had great teachers in school..Jerry Hoover a legend at North…Pat Moore, my first drum instructor…the list is long..
9. Damn, seems like you had a full plate of giging, which is what we all strive for..during your time playing did you do any recordings of original music? if so, what did you do and do you have any mp3’s you wanna share with us?
I dont have any stuff on the net except a clip of a song I wrote on myspace….which is track 3.I have a whole album of another band from 1982 ” Black River…original songs, that I need to get a CD of to load to the internet..
10. # 10 is called “Shout it Loud”. It’s were you get to talk about whatever you want to talk about. So go ahead Jesse, and “SHOUT IT OUT LOUD”!
I want to shout it out…to all my friends that I have worked with over my 41 years in the local band scene..some arent around anymore..but that happens,some quit, got old…cant do it forever, but Im trying to…also the club owners that support live music around here…those people are in an ever evolving, difficult business…but we appreciate the opportunity, to have a gig…this year is starting pretty good forCommon ground, we are busy, and that’s a good thing..Chuck, thanks for the opportunity to tell everyone about the band…
