The Story Of Stuff

The Story Of Stuff
Check out this well-made informational video addressing the impacts of capitalism and consumerism on the world, at large. more than 30 years after environmentalism first became a socially and culturally relevant movement and we are still trying to educate (remind?) ourselves against the dangers of misplaced priorities.

Elvis is in the building

Putting aside pharmaceuticals and a pimping management,
there is no better front man in rock and roll
than was Elvis with his full range honey-smooth voice
and sizzling sensuality.

from 1970, Polk Salad Annie, my favorite Elvis video...
on many levels, seems to capture so much about Elvis and his legacy...

Upcoming Concert Activity

The 2008 concert circuit is shaping up nicely...
currently, i've got tickets to see Classic Rockers, Van Halen, at Hershey, Pennsylvania mid-March,
Country Rock favorite, Hank Williams, Jr. with Southern Rockers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, early-April at Hershey, Pennsylvania,
Rhythym & Blues great, Etta James, at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania mid-April,

AND *drummm rroll*

Canada's uniquely creative 3-man power-rockers extraordinaire, RUSH, at HersheyPark Stadium mid-July.

Really looking forward to these shows!

Locks Of Love

i donated 14 inches of my hair to Locks Of Love, a non-profit charity that provides children suffering from longterm hair loss due to medical reasons with quality hairpieces.
My talented hair stylist, who also supports Locks Of Love, donated his time and skills by giving me a complimentary haircut and styling.
We both hope a child will be made happy by receiving a hairpiece made with some of my hair :)

"Alternative" Energy Sources...

... are they really only misunderstood?

Listen To This One LOUD.....

Berman, from Orlando, Florida. discovered Berman while i was preparing to leave Florida a couple of years ago.
3 excellent indie rock albums were written, recorded and self-produced/promoted from their home studio before Berman split and reformed with a new name, Buffalo Gun.
If you can find their album 'Life In The Stars', pick it up and give a listen. it'll rock you.

This video, "Send Me To The End', is from Berman's 3rd album...
(be sure to check out the masterful tapping technique at the 2 minute mark.)

Long Time, No Post

Whew, finally took the time to figure out how to sign into this blog after Google changed the log in account.
I hope to find some more time soon to do some updating... in case anybody out there still looks in here (hoi, Prof. :)!)
The last 6 months or so have been filled with finding a job, losing that job and staying to close the office, moving into a new home, searching for a new job and going to some concerts (Nickleback, Styx, Foreigner, Def Leppard, Joe Bonamassa).

Stay tuned for more details and stories... coming soon... i hope...
:p
