No “Wheel in the Sky” Rumor has it “Journey” Has cancelled tonights show
In Evansville at the Ford Center. The morning Dj’s were talking about it on 105.3 and last night I saw a facebook post from the wife of one the Union stage hands and she is saying they got an email last night around 5:15 pm telling them not to show up tonight (Nov. 8th) since the show is cancelled. As of 7am no official word yet.
I left her name off this but here is her post.
Update: Stagehand union told employees not to show up for Journey Concert @ Ford Center tomorrow. Rumors appear to be more truth than fiction.
and another post from a different Facebook post who’s husband also works the shows…
My husband was one of the stagehands scheduled to set up and tear down the stage. They were told before 5pm today not to come because the show was cancelled. It’s a shame they’ve waited so long to tell the fans.
nothing from the Ford center yet..

Words of advice to live by…from myself to myself and to you.Kick the Can.
If I could go back in time and talk to myself as younger person I still wouldn’t believe it or even take my own advice but here is some of the things i would probably say…
When you hit your forties.
1. You will still feel like you are in your teens mentally and physically if you have taken care of yourself. So enjoy life. Ride bikes and roller coasters. You can sit on a couch when you are elderly and no longer able to run and jump. In fact, play “kick the can”. See the Twilight Zone show of the same name. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOT6STrnRXk
2. Having kids early is a blessing and a curse. Bad part is the stigma my wife and I (more her than me) put up with in High School as an unwed mother and the financial struggles we endured were hard. Good part is we all grew up together and we are still young enough to have grand kids and maybe great grand kids and enjoy them.
3. Sweating the small stuff only takes off years off your life…So don’t sweat the small stuff.
4. Don’t smoke. Sure it was cool as a teenager but do you really want to hack your head off every night in bed later on in life? Go to a restaurant now and watch for the older smokers. They can’t even finish their meal before they have to rush outside and replenish their nicotine addiction. Is that something you think you would like to have to do? Try on an oxygen mask. If you smoke its a good possibility you will eventually wear one to support your damaged lungs. (luckily I never got hooked on that stuff)
5. No matter how many “friends” you have in school or on some social internet site that’s popular at the time, in reality, if you are a male you will only keep two or three friends for life. You may have several work friends or whatever, but your true friends you depend on from childhood you will be able to count on one hand.
6. If you didn’t fit in during high school, don’t worry about it. All those jocks and hot chicks you knew or heard about in high school that wouldn’t give you the time of day by the time they hit their forties won’t be jocks or hot anymore for the most part. They will be most likely fat or bald or both.
7. Don’t do drugs or even try them. You have no idea how many people I knew that took recreational drugs in high school that have blown their entire lives now as addicts.
8. Do what you enjoy doing in life. Life goes by too fast. If you work at a job you absolutely hate. Get out now. It may turn into golden hand cuffs (meaning you won’t leave because the money is so good) and miss out on something else.
9. Don’t listen to other people that haven’t made their dreams come true. You only live once and you will know yourself when its time to “put up the saddle”. Dare to dream. If you don’t make your dreams come true, Do not blame anyone on that but yourself. You control your own destiny…
10. Cut your on path in life. Be different. We all don’t have to be cookie cutters. Normal is just a setting on a dryer.
11. Save your money. Plan wisely. Seek advice from people that have made money.
12. Don’t be a dick. Pretty much self explanatory.
13. On the other hand, don’t be naive either. You can not trust most people. Accept that and keep your guard up. Some “nice” people will be glad to use you so watch out…
14. Fences “make” good neighbors. Read that again…
15. In life there are usually only “givers’ and “takers”. Be a “giver” and only a “taker” if you really need it. In other words, just because someone is giving something away for free doesn’t mean you got to have it. Someone else can use it more. I see this all the time. A church will have a huge “give away” for poor people and some of the people I know that don’t need it will show up because “it’s free” is their only reason.
16. Do not rely on the Government or welfare to carry you through life. Of course we were on “food stamps” when we had kids when we were younger. Key word is “were”… Meaning we are no longer on it. If you have to use it, use it for a little time as possible. Hold your head up high to when you need assistance but be looking ahead to get off assistance. I see too many people who think they are entitled to everything the Government hands out because its “free”… once again… Use it if you have to but make a plan to get off of it and not ride the welfare wagon your entire life. I have some family that are fourth generation welfare bus riders. It’s all they know… They should think more of themselves.
17. You are not entitled to anything. If you have had a hard life growing up I am sorry for that. But a lot of people have had harder so suck it up and get going. Don’t let the past keep you there and in bondage. I see this all the time. It’s just an excuse to use to fail…
18. Pay your bills or at least try too. No body is perfect but if you lose your house and keep your car payment your priorities are definitely wrong.
19. I recommend going to church especially when you have kids. They need to be grounded. As an adult do not forget John 3:16.
20. Laugh more. Worry Less. I worried too much and didn’t laugh enough in my youth so I am changing that.

“No Doubt” pulls video over a special interest group..wtf??????
Is wrong with you people. What happened to acting”? It’s a video. So many special interest groups wear their feelings on their sleeve. It’s a sad world when everyone has to apologize for their color, creed,career or what ever.The video is artistic. A mini movie.
Look. On my Mother’s side, her mom was full blooded Cherokee. So that makes me part Cherokee too and I didn’t find the video offensive. I hardly find anything offensive.. You wanna know why? I have what a lot of people have long sense lost. It’s called “common sense” about things. I thought for a band as good as No Doubt the song itself was weak and lame but the video?? Come on people. Get over yourself. We all are “mutts” anyway…
South park handled this situation a long time ago about Christmas… You can’t mention Christmas and Jesus because some Jewish folks get offended. You can’t have a manager scene because some atheists gets “offended” and threatens to sue…
It’s time you cry babies grew up and let people live….Jeeesh.

Wow, another fake Bigfoot sighting…Go figure
Jessh, it’s 2012 almost 2013 if the Mayans‘ are wrong and the elusive Bigfoot still won’t allow photographs of himself. Hell, if he exists in reality, other than “in the pot” as my brother in rehab says, he has kept his face hidden better than KISS did back in the 70’s! So here is another viral video. It’s either fake, or a gorilla or another clown in a suit… I will believe in Bigfoot when one is captured and confirmed or he knocks on my door and introduces himself.
I will admit I am intrigued and would like to believe but there is zero evidence. Of course there are people’s words that they have seen it and they may whole hardheartedly believe it. I won’t take that away from them but there is no actual hard proof. Fake foot prints, grainy ass videos or still photographs, broken twigs and sounds at night don’t cut it. Also as seen on a TV show some Indian dude with a unknown tooth he won’t allow to be examined because “it’s sacred” but he thinks it a Bigfoot tooth. How lame is that…?
Just to be clear I am not poking or making fun of anyone that believes in Bigfoot. I just need proof in the pudding. Show me the “fly” for myself or else I am not buying it.
anyway, here is the vid…

My review of Peter Criss’s book “Makeup to Breakup: My Life In and Out of Kiss
In a short sentence I would have to think Peter thought to himself and said “Everyone under the bus!”. Meaning he threw everyone under the bus. I think every bridge he could burn he burnt in this book. Is it a bad thing? I dunno, not my call or my friends that got tossed under the bus.
So far I have read all three books from the Kiss Klan that has released one. Seems to be a bit of dogging on each other in all the books but it seems Peter is the most honest and as far as I can tell, holds nothing back, including grudges.
But now it’s Paul’s turn to release one 🙂 I still think they should have released them all with the “solo” album covers!
I highly recommend this book. It’s definitely drugs,sex, drugs, sex, drugs, sex, and rock and roll.
Here are some of the Highlights according to Peter.
Tommy Thayer made $25,000 a night during the reunion tour and Peter was paid $10,000. (page 193)
It’s implied several times in the book that Paul Stanley bats for both teams if you know what I mean. (page 50 for one)
Gene Simmons has Herpes and had a serious outbreak and Doc Mcgee had to buy Shannon Tweed a big stone to help her get over it. (page 169)
Peter had a lot of orgies with Ace. Sweet sweet Connie and Ace both uh “sung into Peter’s mic” at the same time. (page 76)
About the only complaint I have about the book is it’s a little slow taking off and the photographs at the end are lame. Other than that it’s a must read for rock fans. It shows the unglamorous life of a rock star. From their humble beginnings to the top of the world and the fall back down and the eventual leveling out of everything if they live long enough.

Led Zeppelin’s 2007 Live From The O2 Arena “Kasmir”
Here is Kasmir. Sounds killer. My only question or questions is that it took five years to mix the concert down and get this product ready so “Oh it makes me wonder” if the whole concert was redone in the studio and fixed like most bands do. KISS ALIVE II is supposed to be the best live “Studio” album out there….The guitars sound to perfect including the Wah pedal during the main riff and the vocals all sound a little pitch corrected…But what do I know? It was an iconic concert so be sure and go out and purchase it regardless if it was studio fixed.

I gotta agree with Shooter Jennings on this one
Seems he tweeted that John Mayer is in fact a douche bag. I agree. I also agree on what Shooter says about John’s guitar playing. However, John has been banging Katy Perry and Shooter calls that “Hollywood”. I call that a “Winner”.
Here it is from TMZ
VS
And here are Shooter’s tweets..
I love how the “neil young of our generation” self-naming king douche grows his hair out + buys a place in Montana just to do RS article
Claims he’s “done w hollywood game” and has “roots” and then immediately cuts hair, goes back to hollywood clubs + starts banging Katy Perry
And don’t anybody say he’s a great guitar player. Gary Clark Jr & @lukasnelson wipes their asses with this dude
