Wind And WUTHERING

I’m not the biggest “Genesis” fan. Some of their stuff I like and some I can’t stand. This album I really like and not because it’s by “Genesis.”

Back in the 70′s Long Island had a really good music scene. There were bands playing live in almost every bar. Friday and Saturday nights were the big nights, the clubs would be packed and the music flowing.

There was a band called “Harlequin” who did this entire album, and they were good. When you get to see an album done live, even if it’s from a cover band, you can relate to it more. So every time I hear this album, it brings back memories of seeing it done live.

Pacific Ocean Blue

Who would have thought that the best Beach Boy solo album would come from Dennis Wilson. The problem with a lot of Beach Boy solo albums is that they try to sound like The Beach Boys. If your going to do that, then save the songs for a Beach Boy album.

“Pacific Ocean Blue” doesn’t sound like a Beach Boy album. Dennis Wilson has a gritty voice. Might be good for singing background on a Beach Boy album but when he takes the lead, it sounds like a Dennis Wilson album.

Aliens From Outer Of Space

They’re here! Just look at them mocking up. You Simple Human. Don’t be fooled. These aren’t your ordinary trash cans. When you not home or asleep, these trash cans start to roam around your house and learn everything thing they can about you. When the time comes, you’ll be helpless.

In a couple of week a plunger will sprout out of one side and a stick from the other. Then they’ll show they’re real form. The Daleks are here!

The Sorry State Of Pro Wrestling

Wrestling is in bad shape now and I blame it on one person, Vince McMahon. Taking over all of wrestling might be good for the WWE but it killed wrestling everywhere.

When Vince McMahon Sr. broke away from the NWA and formed the WWWF, he said he was going to respect the territory’s. Then Vince Jr. brought the company from his dad. Vince Sr. went around and told all the promoters that his son is going to invade their area.

So here’s what’s the big problem with wrestling. When you had the AWA, NWA, WCCW, Georgia Wrestling, they were building stars there. So when somebody from another wrestling federation came to the WWWF, you were all excited to see them. Ric Flair from WCW, The Road Warriors from the AWA, The Free Birds from WCCW, they came to the WWWF, they made an impact right away feuding with the WWWF stars. People were waiting to see who would come over.

Now what do you have, the WWE has to build it’s stars in it’s wrestling school, bring the up to the big time and you supposed to be excited.

These guys in Nexus aren't even mid carders and they’re being pushed as stars. Can you name some big match's they had? I’m not talking about the 5 on 1 beat downs. They haven’t had done anything.

There is nobody in the WWE that I would pay to see. In fact, I find it very hard to watch on TV.

Super Bowl Halftime Show

I was going to post about how bad the Halftime Show was. It's not really fair
to the Black Eyed Peas. Almost every band that played at halftime gets hammered.
First of all how many people watching really care about the Black Eyed Peas?
They have their fans and the rest are just waiting for it to be over. Then you
only have a certain amount of time and your expected to do something great.
When you get down to it, it's people singing, not like something that the world
world will be decided by. If you like the band performing, it's a plus. If you
don't, then it's time to head for the table for some food and drinks and hope
you team does better in the second half.
