To my Nephew “Little” David Gee (Taylor). Rest in peace …
All I am doing is crying inside…fuck this hurts.I just received word that you have paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving in Afghanistan.
My family and I will miss you. That “famous” Gee grin that you had. The time you and my son dressed up and went trick or treating. The c b radio games you played. Your positive out look on life that you had despite the deck you were dealt. We belonged to the same club and we made the best of it. You are a trooper.
My heart is heavy, I can’t imagine what my brother is going through.
I will cherish the memories of you and you will never be forgotten.
your Uncle,
chuck

Kentucky Bigfoot Hunter Barton M. Nunnelly part 2
Back to the Bigfoot questions…
Please explain exactly what a Bigfoot is. Is it a mammal? Off shoot of man? Extraterrestrial?
No one knows what these creatures are. It’s that simple, really. Most people are convinced they are simply an unclassified species of hominid. A distant relative of man, perhaps, extremely cunning and reclusive, but still a “normal” animal that eats, sleeps and breeds just as humans do. Other reports exist which suggest that these things must be more than they seem. The ever increasing number of reports alone belies the notion that Bigfoot are reclusive and afraid of contact with man. From my own research and experiences, it appears that they actually prefer to haunt the edges of civilization, preying on livestock and other domesticated animals and generally scaring the hell out of anyone they choose. In fact, their one weakness would seem to be their strong curiosity about us. The intellectual prowess of these “unknown primates” is beyond our understanding. Somehow, they have been able to avoid for centuries our most exhausted searches, and even today our most advanced technologies, all the while shunning the use of fire. My own experiences suggest that these things are not as they seem, a theory Read more…

Making Money In Music-What is it like to be able to play
What’s it like to you. Suppose you are sitting with someone and you are trying to explain what it’s like and how it makes you feel. Could you do it? I am not looking for things like “because it feels good” or ” it makes people happy”. No, let’s go further down deep in your very soul and tell us what its like. Your inner being, the Spirit part. How does music affect you? Do you make a circuit when the magic happens? Can you feel it coursing through your veins?
One way I try to explain it is like the Movie “Powder”. It’s all encompassing. We are always chasing the lightning… We don’t always capture it but when we do it’s like the Universe and everything in it are “one” and complete.
When I listen to music I can feel it in my body. When I am playing guitar it is moving from my left hand to my right. It’s like I am hooked up to a loop of electricity that completes me. Turn off the music and it unplugs me. I am lost without it. A ship without sails or wind to move it with…

Hey Ford Center, why aern’t these bands coming to Evansville?
Ford Center may host killer concerts?
I have been watching the summer “rock” tours heat up and checking out the different bands’ touring dates and Evansville continues to not show up for the Ford Center. Well, unless you are an “easy” listening musical group or a country act. It’s almost like having a Rock act come to Evansville is like finding Bigfoot in the middle of downtown? What gives? Yea I know I have asked this before…
Kiss and Motley Crue have teamed up for “THE TOUR” of the summer as they have called it. Kiss has been coming to Evansville regularly since 1976. Just about every tour they go out on they make sure that Evansville is included. One of Kiss’s guitarists, Vinnie Vincent played his last gig in the band in Evansville. Gene Simmons wrote “Calling Dr. Love” at the old Holiday Inn one night while staying in Evansville for a show. I looked at their tour dates… No Ford Center…No Evansville. The KISS/Motley Crue show is going to be all around this area but not stopping at the Ford Center. Anyone know why? Is it because the Ford center is smaller than Robert’s Stadium? Robert’s stadium seats a maximum of 12,732. The Ford Center seats a maximum of 11,000. Not a big difference there until you figure in ticket prices for each seat plus concession stand, merchandising, etc that is lost for those seats that aren’t there.

Happy Birthday Steven Tyler
Steven Tyler Birthday
Steven Tyler hits the big 64 today. Congrads on making this far Steven Tyler. Many people that have done far less drugs didn’t make it as far as you or fared as well. You and your band kicked some major butt back before 1980 when you wrote most of your own songs. After that, well you turned into Desmond Child’s radio band but I don’t guess it’s a bad thing, you guys have made a fortune. But as I am sure most of our readers will agree with me. You guys wrote “real” music when you were starving to death and fighting your way up the music ladder.
For example, I am going to put up “old” skool Aerosmith and then some radio friendly watered down somewhat resembles Aerosmith and let the battle begin…

Pres. Obama’s Selective Service card forged? You be the judge…
Selective Service…
Sheriff Joe presents President Obama’s Selective Service card as a forgery. Here is video explaining the evidence that has been found. It makes me wonder how much we really don’t know that goes on within our Government and the lengths it will go…I am wondering if he really is an American citizen but then again I don’t want the Secret Service showing up at my door or me winding up in a national park dead next to a cannon with a ripped up suicide note and the gun in my wrong hand…
I don’t agree with the selective service program anyway but we males are required to sign up for it. But this is just another example I believe of how the American Citizen has been duped.
1984….

Europe’s New Vid “Not Supposed to Sing the Blues”
Europe… It’s the final countdown…
Remember that great 80’s tune?
What a great song but Europe is far more than just that song and the other big hit they had “Carrie”. Joey Tempest has been keeping it real with the latest release from them called “Bag of Bones”. Check out the new release called “Not Supposed to Sing the Blues” and see if you can hear Europe tip their hat to Led Zeppelin. If you can’t figure it out listen to the keyboards during the chorus.
I am not a big fan of the blues but this song is more classic rock than blues and in my book kicks some major ass as far as something fresh and exciting. Nothing wrong with the Europe of the 80’s. I can still rock out to the Final Countdown but this new song is awesome and stands up to anything new out there.
Congrads to Europe for still continuing to keep the music alive and well, and well written!!

Another not so damn loud rock show at the Ford Center…:(
Tonight the Ford center is welcoming Elton John and in July James Taylor is coming…
What is your major malfunction? Is everyone over there at the Ford Center that does the booking over 55 years old? Do you all only listen to WIKY and WSON? Please help us not so old but older than 30 crowd (I am within a stones throw of 47) out there that likes to still bang our head… Surely you can lure someone over to your smaller than Robert stadium center you have that can let us do that? As I look back over the roster so far, its only been country acts and easily listening acts. Of course Bob Seger was a rebel back in 1973. He has good music but come on… Let’s rock the place out. You scared ceiling tiles are going to fall if you get AC/DC to come through there?
We’re all not ready for the rest home music yet… So turn it up to 11 For God’s sake and book a band that uses Marshalls and distortion pedals for once.
Go here my rock and metal friends and let your opinions be heard…
or old school it and give them a call and tell them you read about it on KICKACTS and you want to ROCK TOO….
