I am sitting in Alex’s Bar in Long Beach , CA posting this from their free wifi. You have to love that. This is the last show of this mini tour that we are on with the Backyard Babies, Chelsea Smiles and Crash Kelly. We have been going on early but the shows have been really great! I wish we were staying on tour. The Chelsea Smiles and Crash Kelly have been really nice to us and I appreciate it. Right now, Slayer is blasting on the jukebox.
As of last check, the Rock and Roll Geek Show was #33 in iTunes subscriptions, despite the server problems of the last few days.
I also found the latest issue of Spin Magazine where the show was listed as one of the coolest podcasts. Ian Cripps, the 16 year old rocker, has been traveling with us. He was roving reporter on a new feature of the show, The Freak of The Week. I hope to have a wrap up from the tour on the next show.

I know how much you look forward to being on the road… enjoy that nice cool SoCal weather. In Vegas it’s a gentle 101 degrees… this should be a good one. I look forward to the new feature!!!
I Told you, did I not tell you. I fortold all these things and you didnt believe me. I now know I am going to open a fortune telling location. I will have to compete with Madame Ruby though. You remember her? I bet you do on Beach Blvd. Been there forever. Crash Menagerie is going to be gigging possibly sooner than september so dont forget about me when you make it really really big 🙂

wow…. this lyric just comes to mind, please excuse my impromptu translation to keyboard via my clumbsy fingers and memory…
[anybody recognise it?]
“time is a train
makes the future the past,
leaves you standing in station
your face pressed up against the glass”

*off for another July 4th celebratory Yuengling Lager*
ps… wasn’t Pink Floyd’s Live 8 performance of “Money” totally and incredibly awesome. what a live performance… it’s like they never split, they played so tight and the song progessed naturally. wow.
it was annoying how the camera was on Water’s face so much, though… i would have preferred to see his hands on the guitar as he played. drumming was excellant, too. i’d say a stellar performance.
saw Floyd in early june 1975 at Philadelphia during ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ tour. nearly 30 years ago to the day (well, close enough) very cool to see them do ‘Money’ live, again.
Wish I Couldda Been There
