Wrapping up the list of Best Horror Movies You Didn't see. The #1 is- JACOB'S LADDER!
Even while watching it NOT on halucinegenics you will freak. And c'mon, Tim Robinson is completely tremendous. This is a movie that you think got seen by millions. But it was not.
Monday is the real Halloween 10/31. I will reveal the best Horror Movie Un-Seen. Check back for it then.
Today is 2nd best Horror movie you have never seen. I watched this as a very young child in the 70's for the first time and had nightmares about it up until last week!
Sarah (Carol Lynley) brings her husband to visit her childhood home on a remote island. Even though the Old Mill is legally hers, the islanders try and warn her away, saying that the building is cursed, and anyone who goes in there is savagely attacked by a demon⦠But because Sarah is young and attractive, some of the young men, including her cousin (Oliver Reed) donât mind if she stays a little longer. If only her husband (Gig Young) wasnât around⦠The hostile, closed community of the island, and their menacing treatment of outsiders is a weighty subplot to the story of the thing in the attic.
Most horror fans are familiar with images from F.W. Murnau's silent-era Nosferatu, even if they've never seen the film itself. But let's be frank here -- sometimes those silent movies, classic or not, can be tough-going. And this is certainly true of Murnau's original Dracula adaptation. But that's why we keep Werner Herzog around, isn't it? To spice things up at the movie house from time to time.
And this for fun. Movie Villians laughing maniacally. Click below for video mash up-
As we continue this week with great Horror Un-Seen, this is a music video. A reminder to buy CANDY for the kids this Halloween! Do NOT give them anything healthy! Or else!-
It's Jazzfest week on the Bayou! Listen to win your tickets and your Vip passes in the Miller Lite VIP Tent! With an incredible line up, great food and the promise of good weather, what could go wrong? Lots! So this week, we want to give you Jazzfest Tips for a great Fest 09! Lets get the yuckyness outta the way first. With that, we will start with your porta potty tips.
1. Never ever, no matter what, hold anything for the person standing in front of you in line for the porta potty. If you are a dude and a cute chick turns around and says-will you just hold my (blank) while I run into the porta potty-politely say NO. Otherwise you are stuck. Inevitably you will lose track of that person and then you are stuck holding thier (blank) for the rest of the fest.
2. Never go to the porta potty alone
3. Gals- bring extra wipeys and or tissue
4. Dudes- speed it up in there will ya! Let the ladies take their time! And please don't you know what in there!
5. Be quick and kind when waiting in line. Obviously everyone waiting is in the same situation. Your pee isn't better than someone elses pee.
6. Liquids are key at the fest. Knowing that and knowing lots of liquids means lots of trips to the porta, pace yourself.
7. Wait a few minutes after exiting the porta to continue drinking. Re-group, re-fresh, and then get back to your liquid. Spending time in the porta can be traumatic for some people. Get a fesh head before you go back to enjoying yourself.
And lastly, wash as best you can after your porta trip. You'll feel better about doing what you have just done.
You know about my fascination with Serial Killers. This movie is by far one of the best serial killer movies in the history of serial killer movies. Loosely based on a real serial killer. 'Henry' is a sick twisted f*ck. See a clip below-
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
Is memorable -- nightmarishly so -- for its own portraits, specifically of the murders the title character undertakes. So heinous and horrible are these acts that the film most certainly is not for all audiences, but for those looking for an alternative to the increasingly cartoonish portrayals of the Hannibal Lecters and Jason Voorhees of the world, Henry is the place to be.
Michael Rooker stars as Henry, who is loosely based on the real-life killer Henry Lee Lucas. Shot on 16mm film for a hundred grand, the low-budget picture thrives because of its constraints, embracing the "realness" of it all. Rooker is a cipher, a half person who is as inscrutable as the question of why any human being would ever do what he does. The film was slapped with an X rating when it was made in 1986, and it subsequently went unreleased for a few years before finally seeing the light of day⦠and setting off a firestorm of controversy.
This is a rare horror film that requires you to simply suspend your disbelief and go along with some fantasy. What youâre seeing doesnât always make sense, but the result is beautiful and frightening. Perhaps some audiences wanted Paperhouse to follow conventions and be something that itâs not. That may account for its failure at the box office. If you have a strong attraction to fantasy, though; if, like Fox Mulder, you âwant to believe,â this is a find.
This one may not be scary scary but for sure you have never seen it because it hasn't come out yet! It looks AWESOME! The great thing about this movie is that AN 18 YEAR OLD GIRL WROTE AND DIRECTED IT!!!!!! Go Girrrrrrrl!
Continueing 'Scary Movies You've Never Seen' for Halloween. This one stars the Ellen Page. Most known for the awesome movie 'Juno'. Note-she cuts off a pedophiles man junk then makes him watch while she puts the junk in a mixer. This is not that scene though. Have to watch the movie for that!

As Halloween approaches it's time for the usual annual 'scariest______ of all time' lists and polls. This week I thought I'd share great scary movies you've never seen. This one is the great Christian Bale at his best. He is Superman, American Pshycho guy and he just might be awesome.
The movie is 'Euguilibrium'-
The Newest "Bad Lip Reading" Follows Mitt Romney on the Campaign Trail. The guys who do the "Bad Lip Reading" series are back with a new video featuring MITT ROMNEY on the campaign trail. According to the footage, Romney hasn't actually been talking about America . . . he's been taking about "spiders," "badgers," "Madonna," and "Wynonna Ryder."
(--WARNING: This video includes the word "pis*ed" and bleeped profanity.)
A Kids Band Played Metallica's "Enter Sandman" at a Beer Festival and ROCKED It! I think we've officially found the coolest kids in the world! They're called "The Mini Band," and the girl guitarist does a sweet solo about two-and-a-half minutes in.
Save the boobies! You probably know someone who has had breast cancer or someone who knows someone who has. Let's keep them in our prayers and put an end to it! On a lighter note, here is a video-'99 Words for Boobs'
This is for you survivors!
It saddens all of us here at Bayou 95.7 that the NFL has 'ceased and disist' us. They made us take down all of our Saints videos. ALL OF THEM.

We will also re-enact your favorite Saints plays and press conferences this season with, again, hot chicks. Thank the NFL for this yall! (especially when we get shirtless gay dudes to re-enact!)

A real add in Craigs list looking for a roomate.-http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/sha/2549849730.html

Konichiwa bitches. Are you looking for the most kick-ass fucking roommate that ever lived? If so, look no further. You fucking found him. I'm a 25-year-old professional marketing agent with experience at bad-ass companies in New York Fucking City. That's right! What you know about experience? I graduated from Auburn University in Alabama, and moved to NYC at the ripe, tender age of 22. After deciding that New York was a stinky shit-hole, I moved back to Alabama to cultivate more professional experience. Why? So I can make millions of dollars and not have to post shit like this on Craigslist.
Anyway, so I landed this job with a marketing firm in San Francisco, and I have no fucking clue where to live. Honestly, I'm moving there in 3 weeks, so I don't give a shit if I have to sleep in your bathtub.
A bit about me: I'm respectful, quiet, clean and I won't bother any of your shit. If you leave shit out, I'm just like, "Oh fuck I better not mess with this shit, because it's not mine." I turn off lights. I clean toilets. Fuck it. I'll even cook for you. That's right! My dad is a chef and taught me everything there is to know about cooking southern cajun cuisine. I'll fry green tomatoes, cover them with marinated crab meat and smother that shit in bearnaise. EVERY. GODDAMN. NIGHT. Don't eat meat? That's fucking FANTASTIC! I'll make a zucchini and yellow squash carpaccio that will knock your fucking socks off.
I also read a lot. I fucking LOVE books. Vonnegut, Palahniuk, Hawthorne. All that shit. I read Tuesdays with Morrie the other day. It's a sad story, but I learned something about life, love, knowledge and the pursuit of something greater than myself. Fucking smart. Do you like movies? I fucking love them. We can watch the shit out of some movies together if you like, or go get drinks, or work out, hike, play video games or play a game of one-on-one basketball, or I don't have to talk to you at all. It's completely UP TO YOU!
Sometimes I play guitar. Are you going to love getting baked and listening to Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd? LIVE? WHENEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT? Of course you are! I'll take requests and learn any song you like, because I have the voice of an angel and the acoustical stylings of James Fucking Taylor. AWWWWWW SHIT YEA!
A lot of people ask me, "Hey, you're from Alabama. Are you racist?" And, the answer to that question is, no. I'm not racist or judgmental at all. I love everyone. I'm a secular humanist. I FUCKING LOVE PEOPLE. That's the only requirement to being a secular humanist actually. You have to like other human beings and want to help them for no other reason than they are human regardless of race, religion or sexual preference. WTF?!!!? Pretty fucking cool right?
I own almost nothing! I'm driving my car from Alabama to California in which I'll be transporting two duffelbags of clothes, one laptop computer, one guitar, one cell-phone with charger, 8 pairs of shoes, one picture frame, probably some condoms and a shitload of beef jerky and Pringles for the trip. Though, you can expect the jerky to be gone upon my arrival. Unless you'd like me to pick up some on my way into the city. See?! I'm the most considerate person you've ever met. I'm offering to buy you shit already!
Am I interested in your pad? You can bet my nomadic ass I am! I only require 4 walls, a ceiling and a floor to shelter me from the elements. Other than that, anything else will be considered a convenient plus. I'm taking being a roommate to the next level. Email me! I'll hook yo ass up with Facebook links, background checks, credit reports, phone numbers, resumes, references, awards, sexual history, pictures of karate trophies and a list of the top 10 women I'd like to bang before I die. If you want a next-generation roommate who consistently blows your fucking mind with awesomeness, then hit me up. I'm ready to give you money.
EDIT: Craigslist decided to hook my shit back up, and I'm tweeting now. Follow me. Or don't. It's up to you.
MEN-DO NOT BE JAELOUS! WARNING-FOR ADULTS ONLY-Check Out the Trailer for a Movie About the Man Who Invented the Vibrator!
There's a new movie called "Hysteria", and it's about a man named MORTIMER GRANVILLE. Mortimer is a very important man . . . because in 1880, he patented the ELECTROMECHANICAL VIBRATOR. (!!!) The movie stars HUGH DANCY, MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL and RUPERT EVERETT, among others, and it looks pretty funny. The first vibrators were actually looked upon as MEDICAL DEVICES. The title of this movie, "Hysteria", refers to a condition attributed to women in Victorian times. Its symptoms included, quote, "Faintness, nervousness, insomnia, fluid retention, heaviness in abdomen, muscle spasm, shortness of breath, irritability, loss of appetite for food or sex, and a tendency to cause trouble. Before the vibrator or advanced knowledge of the female body came along, doctors would "cure" hysteria by performing PELVIC MASSAGES . . .uh huh......
AHHH!! In the midst of this crappy economy, stupid government acting like poopie-pants children and already the campaign trail is starting, we need a LAUGH! This video is the top un-scripted movie scenes of all times. Ad-libbed stuff! Have at it!
It's a bunch of famous lines that were either improvised on set, or added at the last minute. Including the "most-annoying sound in the world" from "Dumb and Dumber" . . . Bill Murray's "It's in the hole!" line from "Caddyshack" . . . and "Here's Johnny" from "The Shining".
But the funniest one is from "Being John Malkovich". According to the captions in the video, the part where someone drives by, yells, "think fast," and hits Malkovich in the head with a beer can wasn't in the script. One of the extras was drunk and just DID IT. (--WARNING: This video includes the F-word and other profanity.)
The 2011 World Yo-Yo Contest took place in Orlando over the weekend, and a guy from Japan named Shinji Saito won his 12th world title in the 2-A division, which uses two Yo-Yo's. How would we play drinking games???!
In my on going search for killers that look like ordinary folk, (see previous blog on this subject and many more to come, and Stewie is real fyi) Below is a stretch. However, if you think about it, what KILLS it on game day at home? THE SUPERDOME!!
One in Three Employees are Workplace Hoarders . . . and Their Messy Desks Cost Them Promotions.
If the desk in your office is messy, you might be a workplace hoarder. A new study by CareerBuilder found that more than one in three employees keep too much junk on their desk. It's your desk, so who cares what you keep, right? Well, your boss does, actually. 39% of bosses said that piles of paper cause them to think less of an employee. 31% say it makes them look disorganized, and 13% say it makes them look messy.
Nearly three out of 10 bosses say they would be less likely to promote someone who had a disorganized or messy work area. Below are pics of my office and desk. NO WONDER!!!!
In the early 80's, and ALL of the 80's really, while my big haired acid wash wearin counter parts were 'rockin' out to Madonna, Sir Mix O Lot, Stryper (acceptable) I was still sportin my purple-green hair mohawk loving the Clash and cranking them on my cassette player! Along with the Sex Pistols, the Cramps, Ramones, Stooges, The Runaways, Social D, etc.
And now, London is using 'London Calling' by the great Clash to promote the 2012 Olympics being held in London. Even though the song is a dark and edgey tune about the Punk music scene. Great branding I must say. And for that, I will watch. Just to see and hear the song in all the opening activities and commercials.
sidebar- secretly alone at home and with a bf of mine, we would 'rock out' to Madonna too. Shut up, I still got cred don't I??

WE REMEMBER OUR SPECIAL BOY TODD THIS WEEKEND. HE WENT TO A BETTER PLACE JULY 3rd 2009.
Hi Todd
Are you taking care of Mere up there? Bet yall are having fun! Canât believe itâs been 2 years. Lots has happened! Do you hang out with my brother up there too?
Vanessa had a baby! A girl! Georgia. Gorgeous! Me and your Pops agree that the baby has very dark skin! Who knew Chris has some mixed blood in him! Hope and Olivia are growin up and gorgeous! Poor Chris! All those girls! Pops twins are doing well too. Your brother and his fam are well. Donna is on FB. Justin is not. Although he can text real good. Judy is doing much better these days. Zak and Lil wear here out. Zak is still a wimp and very slow and dumb. But we love him! Lilly eats everything and anything. Both are healthy poopers. The rest of your fam is well.
My fam and friends are great and are all thinking about you this week. Wen and I still to this day crack up over the âhot tub incident of 2008â. And the countless crawfish you could eat!
Kelley and Sammy got married. It was a perfect fall day outside. Very beautiful wedding. Kelley handed me her bouquet! Ali had another baby so did Doug. The gang is doing well and Patrick and Jason call me every now and again. The Oschner boy Chris checks in often as well.
We all miss you. I know you are very happy up there. And only sunshine and goodness fill you. It is easier for those in heaven than us here on earth. I hope that comforts everyone who loves you.
I got 2 kittens. Peanut Butter and Shelley. They are sisters from same litter. They are very bad. I call them the shittens.
I live in swanky Lakeview now. The real one!
I also got MARRIED! Told you, lots has happened. I was never going to marry anyone! Not even you! We were going to buy a duplex and be neighbors, remember? I know you helped Rob find me Todd. I know you did. I truly believe that. He is the best and almost perfect. Except for his addiction to the game
âmonsters vs pumpkinsâ on his cell phone. I sometimes donât feel worthy of such love. And I know you are happy for me and shining down on us always. I am truly blessed.
We swam in one of the wonders of the world on our honeymoon (alleged wonders of the world) It was a beautiful mesmerizing natural sink hole that was many hundreds of feet deep with very cool refreshing water. It was so beautiful! It was exactly how I picture heaven. I hope youâre swimming in it right now.
Although life goes on here on earth, we do still love you always and think about you often.
I visit you and sometimes I leave a New Orleans Saints Flag with you. When I go back to visit again, the flag is gone. Cemetary theft??
Life is good Todd. I see you smiling.
Thank You.
You are always in my Heart.

5,000 People in Grand Rapids, Michigan Created the Longest, Most-Elaborate Lip Sync Video Ever Made
In January, a website called MainStreet.com named Grand Rapids, Michigan one of the top ten "dying cities" in America. And in response, 5,000 residents helped make the longest, most elaborate lip sync video ever made.
It's done to a live version of the DON MCLEAN song "American Pie", and features fire trucks, a marching band, a wedding, a bridge with flames shooting off of it, and a helicopter ride. Most of the downtown area had to be blocked off so they could film it.
The guitar: probably music's most symbolic instrument â and often referred to as a weapon of love. So it's no surprise that some of the most famous guitarists in the world look like they are on the verge of creaming their pants when they're hammering out a G-chord.

No matter what side you're on, this is funny. And Newt handled it like a champ. As far as the glitter guy goes, his next victim is said to be Rush Limbaugh. Although I bet Rush LIKES glitter!
NEWT GINGRICH has had a rough week: Democrats said he was racist for calling Obama a "food stamp president" . . . Republicans are mad at him for going after Congressman Paul Ryan's Medicare plan . . . and now he's been GLITTER-BOMBED.
--During a book signing in Minneapolis on Tuesday, a gay activist named Robert Erickson dumped a box of glitter on Newt and his wife Callista, and yelled, quote, "Feel the rainbow, Newt! Stop the hate! Stop anti-gay politics!"
--He was immediately taken away by security, yelling, "It's dividing our country and it's not fixing our economy. Do it like a man." (???)
--Newt's response was kinda funny. First his wife said, quote, "That was fun." Then Newt laughed, started brushing up the glitter, and said, quote, "Nice to live in a free country".
ADULTS ONLY!!! LANGUAGE IS BAD!!!!WARNING-THIS VIDEO INCLUDES OVER 30 F-BOMBS-
Check Out a Children's Play Phone That Says the F-Word
Someone took a children's play phone that says numbers when you push the buttons. And they figured out that if you push 9-3-5 really quickly, it sounds like it says a word that rhymes with "brother trucker." And when they push 5-2, it sounds like "eff you."
Roger Waters performed at the O2 Arena in London Thursday night as part of his The Wall tour and he was joined by the other two surviving members of Pink Floyd â Nick Mason and David Gilmour. Gilmour played âComfortably Numbâ with Rogers while Mason joined the pair for the last song of the night, âOutside the Wall,â playing tambourine. It marks the first time since 2005 the three appeared onstage together. Donât expect it to happen again though â David wrote on his website that the gig was a one-off. They kinda look bored to me-
On Thursday nightâs American Idol, Steven Tyler debuted his first-ever solo video for his song â(It) Feels So Good.â The clip features a chimpanzee, an elephant, a macaw, a sloth, a vulture, scantily clad women and singer Nicole Scherzinger form The Pussy Cat Dolls.

Finally! My 2 facsinations combined! Rock stars and Serial Killers! I finally found a Rock star Doppelganger of a SERIAL KILLER!! I watch all those shows on Discovery ID constantly and I know the name of every single serial killer in history since the 1800's. Don't worry, I'd never kill anyone. I'm too kind.
Here it is-
Richard Trenton Chase was dubbed "The Vampire Killer of Sacramento" because he drank his victims' blood and cannibalized their body parts. Between Dec. 28, 1977, and Jan. 27, 1978, he claimed six known victims. This story is not for the squeamish, and it's one that readers will not soon forget.
His Doppelganger-
David Eric "Dave" Grohl (born January 14, 1969) is an American rock musician, multi-instrumentalist, and singer-songwriter who is the lead vocalist, guitarist, and primary songwriter for the Foo Fighters; the former drummer for Nirvana and Scream; the drummer for Them Crooked Vultures; and wrote all the music for his short-lived side projects Late! and Probot. He has also been involved with Queens of the Stone Age, and has performed session work for a variety of musicians, including Killing Joke, Tenacious D, Nine Inch Nails, The Prodigy, Slash and Juliette Lewis. Dave Grohl has performed in over 30 bands since becoming a musician.
No, this isn't a new toilet made by Apple called the 'iShit'. Let's pretend for a moment shall we, that these will be on hand at Jazz Fest!
THE POT THAT DOES IT ALL
The âNumiâ is the new ultimate toilet when it comes to bathroom luxury. The lengthy list of amenities includes things like a motion activated lid, a deodorizer, feet warmers and music. Yahoo! News reports that the one downside is that the robo-toilet doesnât include the engineering team required to fix it if something goes wrong.
He got popped for having pot recently. That's his mug shot. In Alabama of all places..?!
Internet sensation Antoine Dodson has been arrested in Alabama Saturday on charges of marijuana possession and four other misdemeanor offences.
Dodson, 24, was pulled over early Saturday morning in Huntsville, Ala., on speeding charges and was booked at approximately 2:30 a.m. He was charged with misdemeanor possession as well as speeding and failure to appear in court on previous warrants, according to The Huntsville Times.
Dodson was released on bond Sunday, but still faces a year in jail on the charges, the Madison County Sheriff's Department said.
A message on Dodson's Twitter account about 11:30 a.m. read: "Let me be the first to tell it!! So just got out of jail off a weak charge. LmaORoTfF!!!!!"

The judges of the annual Scotch Tape sculpture contest have announced this year's grand prize winner - an elaborate scene of a brother and sister fishing. The life-size sculpture was made using 12 rolls of the brand's packaging tape. Called "The Big One," the sculpture, created by Kent Hathaway of Oklahoma City, depicts a young boy reeling in a fish while his sister hangs on to the back straps of his overalls to keep him from falling into the water. Scotch judges said the sculpture "stuck out" from dozens of other entries, thanks to its intricate details, such as the boy's rolled jeans and the bows in his sister's pigtails. The Scotch "Off the Roll" tape sculpture contest's winning entry was chosen by a panel of experts based on creativity, execution, presentation and more than 11,000 online public votes. Hathaway earned $5,000 for his effort.
Tom Brady Cried When He Talked About Getting Drafted . . . Because He Didn't Get Picked Until the Sixth Round Before you judge Tom Brady for being a cry-baby, most players would have done the same thing in this interview. ESPN ran an interview with TOM BRADY on Sunday, and he started crying when he talked about draft day in 2000 . . . because he didn't get picked until the sixth round. He also said, quote, "Finally when the Patriots called, I was so excited. I was like, 'I don't have to be an insurance salesman!'"
C'mon though, he wasn't really crying because he was 6th, he was crying cuz it was THE PATRIOTS!

A Guy Made His Kid Cry . . . For Liking The Yankees
Baseball season's in full swing, so we have a quick question: Do you care enough about your favorite team to make your son cry because he likes a rival team? There's a new video on YouTube of a little kid crying because he likes the Yankees, but his Red Sox-loving dad just stands there stone-faced, and tells him he's not allowed to like them.
At one point, the guy's OTHER son even tells him to stop teasing the kid. But the dad doesn't let up, and when the kid says one more time that he doesn't like the Red Sox, his dad tells him to find a new place to live.

Watch Sarah Silverman Make Out with a Unicorn . . . Set to Aerosmith's "Angel"If you've ever wanted to see SARAH SILVERMAN make out with a unicorn puppet to the sweet sounds of the AEROSMITH slow jam "Angel", this video is for you.
It's basically just an extended, viral ad for Juicy Fruit gum featuring Sarah and their new spokes-animal, the Serenading Unicorn, done as a mockup of one of those typical, relationship-in-trouble music videos.
A Guy Was Arrested For Trying To Abduct a College Student . . . And He Looks Just Like Christopher Walken
check out the mug shot of the perp and a pic of the real Walken-
href="http://blogs.bayou957.com/files/2011/04/thumb-christopher_walken_look_alike.jpg">
I'm sure that the victim in this story is traumatized from nearly being abducted . . . so I hope her friends give it another three days before they start saying, "You know what your kidnapping needed? More cowbell."
--The 19-year-old girl is a student at Rider University in New Jersey. And last week, she was almost abducted by a man who looks SHOCKINGLY like CHRISTOPHER WALKEN.
--The man is 68-year-old Tony Kadyhrob. And he may be a doppelganger for Walken, but the years haven't treated him as well.
--Last Monday, he tried to lure the student into his car, and when she said no, he grabbed her and tried to pull her in.
--He's been arrested for attempting to entice an adult into a vehicle.

Murder Gras...errr...Mardi Gras 2011....here we are crashin the VIP suites at the Royal Sonesta on Bourbon Street this weekend. Surprisingly I didn't get kicked out once!
It's Mardi Gras Season! Time to remind parade goers how to NOT be D-Bags-
1. No flashing boobies or any naked body parts anyhwhere except on Bourbon Street. Have some respect!
2. Locals should not ever flash (see above) That is for tourons only (whom we love) And people from West of Kenner and East of Chalmette. (they be travelin to big city dawlin for mardi gras!)
3. Duck and cover when you hear gun shots. You may want to practice this before hitting the route.
4.When kids are near you don't fucking curse! Geeeesh!
5. When kids are near you don't catch beads intended for them.
6. If someone does 4 or 5 infront of your kids pound the drunk shit out of them.
7. Don't be those people that just saunter on infront of people who have been in that spot claiming it for 10 hours. (see #6)
8. If you are driving in parade traffic you are dumb. Your own fault. DA!
9. Don't pee where people can see you. Cops will for sure arrest you. (Cops will for sure not catch any gunman though)
10. Wear comfy shoes, stay with the group, drink lots of water and eat snax.
No Matter if you're right, left, middle, leaning left or right, Demorcrat, Republican, Indie, Tea-Bagger, Palinite, Reaganite, Obama Lover-Hater, Longing for the Days of a Bush or Clinton, all can agree that Jon Stewart is AWESOME- see video for proof-
No, not because of the Oscar Awards. But because another 'Walmart of Weed' has opened in Ca.
This one is in Sacramento and it's called 'WeGrowStore'. It doesn't sell weed it sells everything you need to grow it and cultivate it. Nurture it and then smoke it if you are on medical weed. All legal. And facsinating. And.....what was I saying?? click link for photos-

Why is it that anything to do with any kind of cat is hilarious??! Or is it just me?? I am no 'crazy cat lady'. I have never had more than 2 cats at the same time. But every video, picture, those lame cat calendars, anything cat, I crack up! I just can't help it. Here are some of my faves-

For those who do not know, I grew up in a blessed idyllic small city in New Hampshire. Dover, NH. (not Deleware) The other home to the only other school in the country that uses the 'Green Wave' as a logo besides Tulane fyi. I lived in the same house my whole childhood and my parents have been married almost 50 years. Everyone knew everyone. Population 30,000. Located on the small beautiful seacoast of NH, 1 hr south of Portland ME and 1 hr north of Boston MA. Very charmed. "If you complain 'bout the wintahs, ya don't daserve the summas" is what we say. And yes, winter sux up there! That I DON'T miss. Lobsta and cold bee-ahs for dinner always the favorite. We may have been a small community not too far from 'the city' (Boston or Portland) but we sure have great ideas! And because we are proud to cuss like sailors, or like Betty White, a very smart bar owner decided to help those in need by using swear words. (I'm sure this idea came while enjoying many cold bee-ahs) Below article comes straight from my hometowns' news paper Foster's Daily Democrat (the Fosters were kind of like the Kennedys but of Dover NH fyi)
It is an idea to help those in need that should spread nation wide. I am proud it originated from my dear hometown! NEW ORLEANS BAR OWNERS-WHAT YA SAY??-
DOVER â "I don't know any guy who doesn't swear during sports," said Mira Celikkol, owner of The Central Wave sports bar downtown.
But she's found a way to turn their indiscretions into good deeds.
Stationed just above the bar, Celikkol has placed an oversized pickle jar that she uses to collect monetary donations from patrons who cuss in her establishment. Since she created the swear jar, Celikkol has raised thousands of dollars in donations. None of it, however, has gone to her establishment.
"If you're doing work for a town, you should give back to that town," said Celikkol. She explained she was raised to believe it is one's duty to support their community, however able.
Over the past three years, Celikkol has taken the jar's collected donations and handed them over to various local nonprofit organizations. Most recently, Celikkol chose to give her patrons' contributions to Our House for Girls, a residential home for girls in the Garrison City. After collecting throughout 2010, Celikkol was able to raise and donate $1,125 to the home.
Our House for Girls is a nonprofit organization that supports females from a young age through adulthood. Staff members work with the girls to make good choices in life, including the use of appropriate language.
Celikkol said she spoke with board members of the nonprofit girls home and discovered their funding was limited. Celikkol said she appreciates the value of family and the support system that comes from a family, and that the home offers those comforts to young girls in troubling circumstances is something she found to be heartwarming.
"I did this for family," said Celikkol, who has grown children of her own. "My family is fortunate enough not to need this right now, so why not give to someone who does?"
The home's Executive Director, Susan Lavalle, could not be reached Friday to discuss Celikkol's contribution.
Celikkol said most people have been more than happy to contribute to the swear jar, offering change and loose dollars bills from wallets and purses. She recalled a time where a man used a curse word, and after Celikkol explained she was soliciting him for a monetary contribution for charity, he dropped $50 into her jar.
Though she said she has run into a few patrons who are against the idea of a swear jar, Celikkol said it's been a great success.
"I never pressure anyone to give a certain amount," said Celikkol. "As soon as I tell them it's for charity, they almost always donate something. Even people who don't swear have contributed because they thought it was a good idea."
As the donation jar has become a staple of Celikkol's bar, she said she will continue to donate to local nonprofits. Though she has made no formal decisions at this point in time, Celikkol said she's considering donating this year's cuss word contributions to Women's Aid, a group that provides help to families who have suffered financial loss.
Tiger Woods spits on golf course while playing tourney in Dubai. See video, watch closely, he does it right at the beginning. He got fined for this thousands of dollars. (But he never got fined for being a douchebag)
Damn Disclaimer-Everytime I crack on Tiger someone gets mad at me because I never say he is the greatest golf player ever. He is, I agree, I would never take that away from him. He is also the biggest douchebag ever. He can be both.
This is a very cool website that publishes love letters from famous people to other famous people.
May give you some ideas when writing that love letter to your special one for Valentine's Day.
SIDâS LOVE LETTER TO NANCY
In 1978, a few months before Nancy Spungen was killed, Sid Vicious wrote her a love letter. The letter is titled âWhat Makes Nancy So Greatâ and features reasons like âextremely smart,â âhas sexy feetâ and âwitty.â
click link scroll down. NOTE-some of the reasons he loves Nancy are offensive! You've been warned.......
Ahhh.. the dreaded Hallmark Holiday Valentine's Day is coming up. Why give those people money? Besides the usual boring roses, chocolates, lingerie, why not something that is meaningful?! And why can't a woman buy her man a naughty costume? Lingerie for woman is really a gift for him. So ladies, get him something naughty. And dudes, I have been telling you this for a decade. Has it sunk in yet? The best gift you can give your gal for Vday is a HAND WRITTEN LOVE LETTER. (remember how to put pen to paper?) Suck it up! Guarenteed to get you some! Fold it and seal it with a kiss. (and don't forget to put a blank check in there too!)

When youâve had a year like Bret Favre has had, not playing well on the field and being caught up in a penis scandal, you become a pretty easy target to be made fun of. Well Break.com has gotten their hands on a video that spoofs the famous LeBron James 'Rise' commercial, and shows a Favre-look-a-like getting into all sorts of crazy situations, poking fun at what has happened to the real life Favre recently.
Is that what we want? Is this show even or was it ever about talent? It's about nutty judges! We miss mean Simon and loopey Paula! So far Steven Tyler seems like he will be stepping into the loopey role.
Direct quote from Steven to a contestant-
"put water on the flower cuz I think it's gonna bloom"

Always the great ones leave the nest.......Gonzo the Great and his Gonzo Radio Experiance is leaving Bayou 95.7. Please take a moment and wish him well via email or on our FaceBook Page-
http://www.facebook.com/bayou957
(as always, Gonzo is hiding in the background. No doubt spilling his drink!)
No drama! He is leaving on great terms, why wouldn't he be?? And it is not the usual bullshit run of the mill radio tragedy. He has landed a bigger and better op. And I and all of us at Entercom radio will sadly miss him but are very proud and happy for him at same time.
Now for the mushy stuff......
Gonzo truly is my radio-co-worker-soulmate. He is the only person I have ever worked with in 20 plus years in radio that has never made me cry!! Everyone else has. EVERYONE. Not him. Because he has CLASS. Not to mention he is awesome at what he does and it has been a priviledge to work with him.
He and I share a similiar background in radio and a similiar background personally as well. We have both lost significant others untimely. Gonzo helped me when I was going through all that. I wouldn't have found the sunshine if it wasn't for him.
He has an uncanny way of making everyone around him feel special. Even when they do not deserve it. He is also the master at shot intakes and demanding others do them with him. Very important in this buisness.
Gonzo's office is a tad down the hall from mine and across. (my office is stuck knee-deep in B97 territory, surrounded by those kids down the dial listening the 'ooogch oogch ooogch' music-we are all one big happy radio family! WWL is our company too but we are not allowed on thier side of the floor) The high light of my day is when I walk down that hallway, poke my head into Gonzo's office, say 'Hey Gonzy' and he back just says- 'KATMANDOOOO'. Everyday this happens around 11a when we both roll on in here. It is a beautiful moment. Just that simple KATMANDOO is what I will miss most about Gonzo.
I lied, Gonzo did make me cry. I am crying right now. I will miss you brother! Please send me KATMANDOO audio everyday around 11a.
And can I have your old office?
The Best to you Gonzo!

STEVE PERRY - PRICELESS
KILLING BONO. A movie coming out this April. No matter if you hate Bono or love him, this movie looks awesome! Check out the movie trailer-
'Two brothers attempt to become global rock stars but can only look on as old school friends U2 become the biggest band in the world.'
That's the storyline of Killing Bono, a music-based comedy coming in April based on the memoirs of Neil McCormick, an old school friend of the band.
These days Neil is the rock critic of The Daily Telegraph newspaper in the UK, but as a teenager he and his brother Ivan were at school in Dublin with Adam, Larry, Edge and Bono.
With a screenplay by Dick Clement and Ian LaFrenais, the film records Neil and Ivan's plans for global rock superstardom after seeing the career of their school mates take off. And while history records that their ambition was sadly unfulfilled... it does make a funny story.
'Itâs the story of my life as a failed rock star,' explains Neil. 'Most people deemed worthy of the biopic treatment have actually done something memorable... all I did was royally screw things up for myself, while my school friends in U2 went on to achieve everything I ever wanted.'
Directed by BAFTA winning Nick Hamm, the film has a pretty fine cast including Ben Barnes (playing Neil), Robert Sheehan (playing Ivan), Peter Serafinowicz, Pete Postlethwaite and Martin McCann (playing Bono).
Although U2 are not involved in anyway with the film, some of the people behind the production are good friends with the band: apart from Neil, Ian Flooks, one of the producers, was U2's agent from 1980-1997. As it's not a documentary or factual drama, there's more than a little poetic license in the screenplay but as one man's self-deprecating account of the struggle for rock'n'roll success in the 1980's music scene, Killing Bono offers another perspective on a mythical period in the earliest days of U2. No doubt plenty of fans will be checking it out in April.

Personal Stuff of 2010-
PEOPLE I MISS MOST-
Chip and Todd.
Chip, my brother, went to heaven on March 8, 2010. He was the funniest person on this planet! Thanx for giving me my humor brother!
And you already know my Todd left us on July 3, 2009. My very special boyfriend I adored who taught me what 'unconditional' means.
Last year I wrote many blogs about him and death. Thank you to those who reached out and sent me sunshine. I can not express to you how much that helped me! I am very grateful for that! And those who donât get it- until you walk in someone elseâs shoes, please shut the fuck up.
Chip loved cats, Todd loved dogs. If you have any in heaven, know they are in good hands up there! Love and miss you both. Forever in my heart.
PEOPLE WHO ARE ALIVE THAT I MISS MOST-
Ashley-We were friends. Friends can and do dump eachother sometimes. She dumped me as a friend. For all the good she does in the world, she is bad-ass at dumping a friend! Ouch!
Leon-I dumped him when we were dating. But he was an awesome fun pal to hang with. Miss you bro!
Robin-She disapproves of me getting married because it happened so fast. âWhateverâ is what I say to that. Rather than focus on what you think is negative, focus on the JOY of the situation! (and go fuck yerself)
Mikey C and his wife T- They moved to the N.Shore. Might as well have moved to a foreign country.
PERSON I WORRY THE MOST ABOUT-
David. We all pray for him as he is a Raiders fan.
PERSON I DONâT MISS-
Frenemy. She wants to wear me like last year's Versace.
GREATEST MOMENTS-
-Saints Winning Superbowl!
-Getting over Cocker
-When I finally realized that God/Buddha/the Spirit/Allah, what or whoever it is that guides us, truly doesnât give you more than you can handle.
-Realizing you never actually âget overâ or âmove onâ from losing someone to heaven. You simply live with their love in your heart forever and make life and every moment count.
GREATEST GREATEST MOMENT-
-Meeting my future husband Rob Vance. We met, fell in-love, got engaged, planned a wedding! All within less than 4 MONTHS!!!!!!! Yup! Pigs DO fly! I love you husband! 2011 is going to be EPIC!
IN CLOSING FRIENDS, HEREâS TO A TRULY GREAT NEW YEAR FULL OF GOOD LOVINâ AND SUNSHINE FOR ALL! NOW, GO ENTERTAIN YOUR OWN DAMN SELF!

Batman Returns (1992) - The magic of Tim Burton, the grotesqueness of Danny DeVito and the cat suit of Michelle Pfeiffer... Ooo la la.

________________________________________
The Polar Express (2004) - Adapted from Chris Van Allsburg's Caldecott Medal winning children's book of the same name.

If youâve read Keith Richardsâs new autobiography you probably noticed some below-the-belt punches against Mick. So you wouldnât be surprised that this on/off feud between them has handed the Rolling Stones bandmates the top spot on a new list of warring rockers. Rolling Stones Magazine released the list of the greatest Rock Feuds of all time. This doesnât mean some of these rockers hate each other, but when you are in band, the love/hate relationship can cause major troubles and fights, like in the case of Keith Richards and Mick Jagger.
1. Mick Jagger & Keith Richards
2. Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel
3. Steven Tyler & Joe Perry (Aerosmith)
4. Roger Daltrey & Pete Townshend (The Who)
5. Ray & Dave Davies (The Kinks).
Do you agree with the top 5? Is there any other feud you would like to include?
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Leslie Nielsen, who traded in his dramatic persona for inspired bumbling as a hapless doctor in "Airplane!" and the accident-prone detective Frank Drebin in "The Naked Gun" comedies, died on Sunday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He was 84.
The Canadian-born actor died from complications from pneumonia at a hospital near his home at 5:34 p.m., surrounded by his wife, Barbaree, and friends, his agent John S. Kelly said in a statement.
"We are saddened by the passing of beloved actor Leslie Nielsen, probably best remembered as Lt. Frank Drebin in 'The Naked Gun' series of pictures, but who enjoyed a more than 60-year career in motion pictures and television," said Kelly.
Nielsen came to Hollywood in the mid-1950s after performing in 150 live television dramas in New York. With a craggily handsome face, blond hair and 6-foot-2 height, he seemed ideal for a movie leading man.
Nielsen first performed as the king of France in the Paramount operetta "The Vagabond King" with Kathryn Grayson.
The film -- he called it "The Vagabond Turkey" -- flopped, but MGM signed him to a seven-year contract.
His first film for that studio was auspicious -- as the space ship commander in the science fiction classic "Forbidden Planet." He found his best dramatic role as the captain of an overturned ocean liner in the 1972 disaster movie, "The Poseidon Adventure."
He became known as a serious actor, although behind the camera he was a prankster. That was an aspect of his personality never exploited, however, until "Airplane!" was released in 1980 and became a huge hit.
As the doctor aboard a plane in which the pilots, and some of the passengers, become violently ill, Nielsen says they must get to a hospital right away.
"A hospital? What is it?" a flight attendant asks, inquiring about the illness.
"It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now," Nielsen deadpans.
When he asks a passenger if he can fly the plane, the man replies, "Surely you can't be serious."
Nielsen responds: "I am serious, and don't call me Shirley."
Critics argued he was being cast against type, but Nielsen disagreed.
"I've always been cast against type before," he said, adding comedy was what he'd really always wanted to do.
It was what he would do for most of the rest of his career, appearing in such comedies as "Repossessed" (a takeoff on the demonic possession movies like "The Exorcist") and "Mr. Magoo," in which he played the title role of the good-natured bumbler.
Nielsen did play Debbie Reynolds' sweetheart in the popular "Tammy and the Bachelor," a loanout to Universal, and he became well known to baby boomers for his role as the Revolutionary War fighter Francis Marion in the Disney TV adventure series "The Swamp Fox."
Unhappy with his roles at MGM, he asked to be released from his contract. As a freelancer, he appeared in a series of undistinguished movies.
"I played a lot of leaders, autocratic sorts; perhaps it was my Canadian accent," he reasoned.
Meanwhile, he remained active in television in guest roles. He also starred in his own series, "The New Breed," ''The Protectors" and "Bracken's World," but all were short-lived.
Then "Airplane!" captivated audiences and changed everything.

Then "Airplane!" captivated audiences and changed everything.
Producers-directors-writers Jim Abrahams, David and Jerry Zucker had hired Robert Stack, Peter Graves, Lloyd Bridges and Nielsen to spoof their heroic TV images in a satire of flight-in-jeopardy movies.
After the movie's success, the filmmaking trio cast their newfound comic star as Detective Drebin in a TV series, "Police Squad," which trashed the cliches of "Dragnet" and other cop shows. Despite good reviews, NBC canceled it after only four episodes.
"It didn't belong on TV," Nielsen later commented. "It had the kind of humor you had to pay attention to."
The Zuckers and Abraham converted the series into a feature film, "The Naked Gun," with George Kennedy, O.J. Simpson and Priscilla Presley as Nielsen's co-stars. Its huge success led to sequels "The Naked Gun 2 1/2" and "The Naked Gun 33 1/3."
His later movies included "All I Want for Christmas," ''Dracula: Dead and Loving It" and "Spy Hard."
Between films he often turned serious, touring with his one-man show on the life of the great defense lawyer, Clarence Darrow.
Nielsen was born Feb. 11, 1926 in Regina, Saskatchewan.
He grew up 200 miles south of the Arctic Circle at Fort Norman, where his father was an officer of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
The parents had three sons, and Nielsen once recalled, "There were 15 people in the village, including five of us. If my father arrested somebody in the winter, he'd have to wait until the thaw to turn him in."
The elder Nielsen was a troubled man who beat his wife and sons, and Leslie longed to escape. As soon as he graduated from high school at 17, he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force, even though he was legally deaf (he wore hearing aids most of his life.)
After the war, Nielsen worked as a disc jockey at a Calgary radio station, then studied at a Toronto radio school operated by Lorne Greene, who would go on to star on the hit TV series "Bonanza." A scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse brought him to New York, where he immersed himself in live television.
Nielsen also was married to: Monica Boyer, 1950-1955; Sandy Ullman, 1958-74; and Brooks Oliver, 1981-85.
Nielsen and his second wife had two daughters, Thea and Maura.
Journey Shut Down Rumors Of Reunion With Steve PerryJourney have returned to the spotlight in recent years and it seems former frontman Steve Perry wants to get in on the action. Perry left the group in the 1990s to pursue a solo career and it seems his former bandmembers have no plans to welcome him back. Journey founder Neal Schon tells Britian's Daily Star: "[Steve] seems to be enjoying the spotlight a little too much. The fact is he's no longer the lead singer. He walked out."

By now you have seen the Hoff in the famouse 'drunk cheeseburger' video. Good stuff! The following is a new Hoff Video. A&E has just confirmed rumors: The channel has ordered up 10 half-hour episodes of a new Hoff reality show to air later this year. It'll take a behind-the-scenes look at Hasselhoff's life, including his business ventures and his life as a single dad raising daughters Taylor-Ann, 19, a communications major at the University of Arizona; and Hayley, 17, a model and aspiring actress.
Here is what some say is a very controversial commercial for this up coming series. Featuring a Hoff look-alike-baby. How much did this kid get paid? And where is the cheeseburger?
STEVE PERRY SINGS JOURNEY FROM THE STANDS
Among the celebrities at the recent game five of the National League Championship Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the San Francisco Giants was former Journey singer and current Giants fan Steve Perry. When Journeyâs hit âDonât Stop Believinââ came on at the Bay Cityâs AT&T Park, Steve happily sung along with all the folks in the stands around him. I thought he shoud have had better seats though, right?
Oh, AND GO SAN FRAN GIANTS!!
Thanx Charlie Sheen for making us reminisce about our favorite celebrity/prostitute scandals- Hugh Grantâs 1995 arrest in Hollywood with a lady of the night named Divine Brown. Danny Bonaduce was arrested for assault in 1991 after he hit a prostitute in his car after finding out the hooker was a man not a woman. Oooops! They all hate when that happens! And how could we forget Eddie Murphy's 1997 encounter with a weepy trannie? What a DRAG!
Ozzy's DNA has been tested by scientists recently. Why is he still alive?? Watch this video to find out. He is part NEANDERTHAL and his DNA traces back to to the same blood as JESSE JAMES! (The cool train robber not the douchebag who cheated on Sandra Bullock) Ozzy, it has been proven, is a medical miracle! Maybe the Geico Cavemen will open up for him at Voodoo Fest this Saturday.
I wonder what it's like to be so awesome! Just in time for Halloween, Alice releases his Limited Edition Halloween Vinyl Package. And don't forget to watch him this Halloween Weekend hosting a 'Munsters Marathon' on WGN! Perhaps for Halloween 2011, Alice will dress like a ROCK n ROLL HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE!
Not too shabby...Steven Tyler sings National Anthem at Boston Bruins home opener on 10/21. This will be the last respectable thing he does before American Idol returns.
So how do pro football teams solve the problem of dropped passes? A porta-potty drill. They sit receivers inside the porta-potty, close the door, someone throws and at the last second, another player opens the door and you have to react. The last second reaction is, but it's even tougher sitting down because you're not really able to use your body, only your hands. The video shows the Kansas City Chiefs doing the drill. The Chiefs had the most dropped passes last season 47 --about three a game. (Maiman)

Who knew?? Happy Anniversary 'BACK TO THE FUTURE'!
Twenty-five years ago, it was almost Eric Stoltz we saw as Marty McFly driving away in a DeLorean in Back to the Future, and not Michael J. Fox, who found a signature role as the young time traveler. To see videos of him now in a part that is owned by Fox, seems quite strange, whether because he truly didn't fit the part, or because we've been enjoying Fox play the role for a quarter of a century.
Life was different back in 1985. Michael J. Fox was a young sitcom actor and not quite a household name, Huey Lewis was at the top of his game, and life preserver jackets were a fashion statement,. We were introduced to a movie and a thought that has become archetypical of time travel. What would it be like to travel back in time to when your parents were teenagers? Back to the Future infiltrated pop culture making us all know what a flux capacitor is and making us laugh as people in 1955 questioned who JFK was and how an actor ever became president.
This month brings the 25th anniversary release of the Back to the Future trilogy, and included in the bonus features on the DVD and Blu-ray are clips of Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly. Stoltz, best known as playing Cher's son in Mask, was the original actor to play the young time traveler, but filmmaker Robert Zemeckis didn't think Stoltz had "comedy sensibilities" for the role. He was replaced with Fox, even though it meant reshooting five months of work.
As odd as it may seem, it does seem to be great casting to make Stoltz Crispin Glover and Lea Thompson's son. They all look like they could be related. However, the aesthetics of it just weren't as important in the end as "funny." Judge for yourself watching a small clip of a scene we know well from the movie, as Marty first realizes he's sitting next to his dad, George McFly, in 1955.
As always rumors swirl of a Led Zep Reunion...really?? Believe nuthin til it happens! (of course for centuries we have been wishing for that) In the meantime, for sure you can count on this- JASON BONHAMâS LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE will celebrate the life and music of his father--the legendary Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham. The limited engagement of concert dates--timed to take place just after the 30th anniversary of his Dadâs passing on September 25th, 1980--will launch in North America October 8 in British Columbia. Bonham--who has teamed with Annerin Productions, the heralded company behind âThe Pink Floyd Experience" and the aforementioned "Rain, A Tribute to the Beatlesâ--is anxiously anticipating the showâs opening night. âI canât wait,â Jason enthuses. âIâm sure it will be an emotional night, especially the first time we do it in front of an audience, but itâs a commemoration of Dadâs life and my life with the music and the company of Led Zeppelin. And Iâm really looking forward to doing it.â As BONHAM and his band rock through Led Zeppelin's hallowed catalog, a state-of-the-art sound system and light show will enhance their live performance onstage. Behind them, giant screens will display futuristic art and mood-setting historical video footage and photos. The stunning atmosphere and powerful live performance will take concert-goers through a personal journey into JASONâs past and put them front and center at this stunning multimedia concert experience.
Steven Tyler sits at Idol table.....??? Do we like?? is this going to make him lose cred? Should he start popin pills again so he can be new crazy Paula? Will they do an 'Aerosmith Song' episode?

Facsinating movie! And a great soundtrack as well w/Trent Reznor and some excellent Beatles re-makes. Justin Timberlake as Sean the creator of Napster will have Oscar a-callin. Yes, there is a Napster-Facebook connection. See this movie. This is about the 'invention' if you will of Facebook. The great idea sproated from a college computer genius after he is dumped by his lady. SPOILER ALERT- yes, the Facebook came out of anger and a broken heart! Awesome revenge! I won't give anymore away except to say- The creator of Facebook in no way owes the two twin brothers ANY money! See the movie and you will agree!
Steven Tyler has recorded the theme song to a Japanese live-action movie called 'Space Battleship Yamato'. According to TokyoGraph.com, the track is called âLove Livesâ and is being billed as part of the Aerosmith singerâs first solo project. Tyler apparently wrote the ballad after reading a translated script and seeing footage from the filmâs final scene. âLove Livesâ goes on sale in Japan on November 24. The songs is almost "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing Part 2". In a movie also about love on a spaceship, sorta. This clip is all in Japanese. Not sure what the movie is about. Love on a Spaceship and whatnot and I'm pretty sure there is a kidnapped kid. A news bit about Steven on Japanese news is include as well. I know a Japanese word or 2 and I think the reporter said- "this old american dude can still rock!.."
He is known as the greatest frontman of all time. For sure this is the greatest tailgating tune of all time. GO SAINTS!

Remember when the album cover art was just as important as the album itself? Ah yes, the good ole days of vinyl and awesome cover art. Some of the most iconic album covers of all time now have an added treat.....a taco!
Here are some of my favorites-

Guns Nâ Roses were warned that if they took the stage late at Friday nightâs Reading Festival in England then they would be cut off due to local curfew laws. Well, the band came on an hour tardy and, as promised, they were forced to end their set at midnight. The eventâs organizers pulled the plugs on the rockers but that didnât stop the music. Even though they didnât have power, the group still performed âParadise Cityâ with no instruments and with Axl Rose singing through a megaphone. GNâR are mad at the promoters but, in a Twitter post, guitarist D.J. Ashba stated, âThey pulled the power, but failed to kill the connection as 90-thousand people sang âParadise City.ââ
The Book "Eat Pray Love" was tremendous. And with my Julia Roberts in the movie, I can not control myself!! Author and funny wise guy Andrew Gottlieb has written the male version. "Drink, Play, F*#K" The plot? It âtells the fictional story of Bob Sullivan, a man who, seeking solace after his wife leaves him...." Same as the chick lit but he does what a DUDE would do under such circumstances. Drink, play and bone of course! good reading.
By now you know Steven Tyler will be a judge on American Idol. You also know the band isn't too happy about that. And, Steven fell off the stage again recently at at a gig. Now we see Steven clock Joe on stage with a mic stand. Was it an accident? You can actually hear the mic hit his noggin!

Madden '11 is avail now where ever you get your gaming products. The game is AWESOME! They made Peyton look sooooo ripped in th game! They even got Drew's birth mark correct on his face and the Dome looks awesome! Soundtrack is killer too! Ozzy, ACDC, Guns n Roses, Queen and many others! So I suck at the game. Just know Bobby Hebert sucks more than me!
ACTUAL TOES/FOOT OF ATLANTA WOMEN WHO WAS ROBBED RECENTLY-IF YOU ENJOY TOES/FEET, PLEASE LOOK AT THIS PIC IN PRIVATE ROOM
Amy Windom told police she was held at gunpoint, tied up, and robbed, but instead of panicking and giving up hope of being rescued she thought to herself, "What would MacGyver do?"
And in an instant it came to her, reports CNN.
The 39-year-old Windom, who says she had to act quickly, convinced the alleged robber that it would be in his best interest to leave behind her company-issued laptop because it could be tracked.
After the partially masked intruder helped himself to Windom's belongings, he fled the scene in Windom's car and took her cell phone, but left behind the device that would be her salvation.
Windom swallowed her fear and got to work.
She says her laptop was in reach, and she was able to open it with her toes.
With her hands still tied, Windom says she toe-typed a message to her boyfriend.
"I used my right toe as a mouse on the touch pad. I pulled over the power cord and put that in my left toes and used the end of the power cord as a tool to hit the keys, I started instant messaging him and told him I was tied to the bed and had been robbed and asked him to call 911."
Sounds like some fancy footwork.
Her boyfriend John Hilton called police and they came to the rescue of his damsel in distress.
Although police have not apprehended the suspect, they managed to recover Windom's car which was found parked outside an abandoned house.
ELLIOTTâS DOWN Nâ OUTZ GETS THE HOOK AND GET MAD
Joe Elliottâs new band, Down Nâ Outz, had their set cut short at the High Voltage Festival in London over the weekend. According to PlanetRock.com, the band, which performs covers of songs from musicians connected to Mott the Hoople, were joined by Mott singer Ian Hunter at the end of their set. Once they finished their second track with Ian, a voice came over the P-A and thanked fans for listening to Down Nâ Outz. The mics were cut and the band was surprised, then mad when they learned headliners Emerson, Lake & Palmerâs crew allegedly pulled the plug since Down Nâ Outz went over its allotted time and ELP wanted to take the stage. A small fight broke out between members of the bands and their crews.
WARNIG-PIC IS FOR ADULTS ONLY! Jon Bon Jovi never wanted the world to see these incredibly awesome photos of him and half-naked women from the '80s -- but they're coming out now. The new un-authorized book about Bon Jovi "Sex Lies and Bon Jovi" is avail in all book stores now. More pics like this in the book! He was 22 when these pics were taken.

I give up. For real this time. I know you think I'm the girl who cried wolf...er, relationship. I'm not bat-shit crazy. I wish I was! That be a great excuse! I'm just in love with a dead man. It's been a year as you know. I've tried as you know. REALLY tried. It's just too much work to pretend everything is ok and I'm doing great. And trying to be in love with someone else. I just can't do it. When will I be able to? I dunno. Until you walk in someone else's shoes please shut up know it all. Sorry to be harsh but am really sick of that question! So, as football season approaches, there's always Shockey! Mmmmmm, maybe I am bat-shit crazy afterall.
HEAVEN & HELL PAY TRIBUTE TO DIOAt Saturdayâs High Voltage Festival in London, the surviving members of Heaven & Hell â Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Vinny Appice â played a special tribute to their fallen bandmate, Ronnie James Dio, who passed away in May from stomach cancer. The rockers were joined by former Deep Purple and Black Sabbath rocker Glenn Hughes and Norwegian vocalist Jorn Lande. During the set, Dioâs widow, Wendy, read a statement that left very few eyes dry.
This is the World Cup Scoreboard when Nigeria played Germany. Note the abbreveations of the countries on the board. Note that Nigeria is on left side. Obviously they didn't think this one thru. Should have had them switch sides. DA! Just another reason why professional soccer will never catch on in the USA.
See Ben, dressed in full KISS costume, walking across America for the 'Wounded Warriors Foundation' All sanctioned by Gene Simmons himself. He started the walk here in Nola and will end the walk at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. WAY TO GO BEN!!

If this strange creature growled at you, you wouldn't know whether to run from his sharp claws or pat him on the head and give him a biscuit. From a distance, its striped orange and black coat makes it look like a particularly odd tiger. But it's actually a retriever, the victim of the latest craze among some dog owners in China to dye their pets to look like other animals. The Chinese are always quick to embrace bizarre trends, and it is not unusual for owners to take their dogs to grooming parlours where they are not only given a shampoo and trim, but a multi-coloured dye job as well.
The Tiger is a Retriever with a dye job.
The Pandas are fluffy little mutts with a dye job.

RAINBOW BANDMATE RITCHIE BLACKMORE:
âRonnie had a unique and wonderful voice. He will be sadly missed in the rock and roll world.â
BLACK SABBATH/HEAVEN & HELL BANDMATE TONY IOMMI:
âYesterday, 16th May, my dear, dear friend Ronnie James Dio passed away at 7.45am L.A. time. Iâve been in total shock; I just canât believe heâs gone. Ronnie was one of the nicest people you could ever meet. We had some fantastic times together. Ronnie loved what he did, making music and performing on stage. He loved his fans so much. He was a kind man and would put himself out to help others. I can honestly say itâs truly been an honor to play at his side for all these years. His music will live on forever. Our thoughts are with Wendy Dio [Ronnieâs wife/manager] who stood by Ronnie until the end. He loved her very much. The man with the magic voice is a star amongst stars, a true professional. I'll miss you so much, my dear friend.â
SEBASTIAN BACH:
âCrying right now in remembrance of my hero and friend, Ronnie James Dio. Dio died this morning and he was a major, major part of my life. I got to do shows with him and work with him and I loved Dio my whole life. Thanks so much. The world has lost one of the best. Your last album was your best. Of course.â
IRON MAIDEN:
âIt is with huge sadness we hear that Ronnie has lost his battle against stomach cancer, and our heartfelt condolences go out to his wife Wendy and family at this terrible time. From his earlier years in Elf, Black Sabbath and Dio, right through to his most recent days fronting Heaven & Hell, Ronnie, time and again, proved his genius as a frontman, always giving his all to his fans and his music. Ronnie was not only an incredibly gifted singer but also a wonderfully warm, intelligent and generous person and this shone through both on and off stage leaving a positive mark on everyone he came into contact with. A longstanding friend of Maiden, we played many shows together over the years and we will all miss him greatly. The world has lost an irreplaceable talent and, first and foremost, one of the finest human beings you could ever wish to meet.â
FORMER DEEP PURPLE/BLACK SABBATH SINGER GLENN HUGHES:
âIt is a very sad day today... I have lost a very dear friend. Ronnie was a true leader of heavy metal... an icon and a visionary... There will never be another like him. Ronnie gave me wisdom, and showed me great compassion when he was in Elf, all those years ago, when we were on tour together in my time in Deep Purple. He was a beautiful soul, kind, considerate and a wonderful teacher. Some day Iâll be bringing your microphone up there with me, and we'll sing a song, and share a Vindaloo together... Iââll miss, you mate.â
KISS:
âWe mourn the tragic passing of the great Ronnie James Dio. In addition to his powerhouse vocal ability, Ronnie was a true gentleman who always emanated great warmth and friendship to us and everyone around him. We will miss him.â
JUDAS PRIEST:
âWe are filled with great sadness at the terrible news about our friend Ronnie James Dio. Our condolences and love go to Wendy [Dio, Ronnieâs wife/manager] and Ronnieâs family. Ronnie was a wonderful man and will be sorely missed.â
SLASH:
âOne of the best heavy metal singers of all timeâ¦His music will live on for eternity.â
DREAM THEATER DRUMMER MIKE PORTNOY:
âRest in peace, Ronnie James Dio... one of the greatest of all time. Looks like Dime [late Pantera guitarist âDimebagâ Darrell Abbott],Randy [Rhoads; late Ozzy Osbourne guitarist], Cliff [Burton; late Metallica bassist] and Bonzo [late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham] just scored the ultimate singer. This is one of the saddest days in metal ever.â
ANTHRAX GUITARIST SCOTT IAN:
âRest in peace, Ronnie James Dio. Horns at half mast. Such a huge loss...
So many memories of Ronnie. Toured together many times. He always had a kind word and a smile and he LOVED the Yankees. In 2004 on the Dio/Anthrax tour I would get the Yankee score every inning for Ronnie while he was on stage. He was so into it. Saw Black Sabbath on the Black & Blue tour [featuring Black Sabbath and Blue Ãyster Cult] at Madison Square Garden [in New York City] in 1980. First row center. Ronnie was king of the world. Top 3 shows of all time.â
WHITESNAKE SINGER DAVID COVERDALE:
â[I was] so very sad to hear of Ronnieâs passing... My thoughts, prayers and condolence to his family and friends.â
TWISTED SISTER:
âThe members of Twisted Sister, along with millions of metal fans around the world, mourn the death of our friend Ronnie James Dio. Ronnie not only was a giant in the worldwide metal scene, but he was also one of the nicest people you would ever want to meet. Beginning in 1983 when we first toured with Ronnie in Canada, and continuing over the last seven years when we played dozens of festivals around the world, Ronnie was one of the most supportive and gracious members of the music community. Our thoughts and prayers are with Wendy and Ronnieâs family.â
QUEENSRYCHE:
âRonnie James Dio was undoubtedly one of heavy metalâs greatest performers and will continue to influence the world of heavy metal forever. He was certainly a very big influence on Queensrÿche and along the way became a cherished friend too. We will all miss him greatly, but Ronnie will live on every time we raise our metal horns high! The man on the silver mountain will always be our rainbow in the dark.â
QUEEN GUITARIST BRIAN MAY: âItâs a shock to hear that Ronnie has gone. Even though we had all known he was battling with cancer for some time, he was such a wiry fighter, and of such an amazingly optimistic nature, I think I assumed he would go on forever. Well, he fought to the very end... was gearing up to go back out on tour. I know this will be a very hard blow for my friend Tony Iommi. When I last saw Ronnie in Los Angeles, he was as full of life and positivity as anybody I've ever known⦠and sang up a storm with Heaven & Hell in the Universal Amphitheatre.
In my opinion, Ronnie was one of the creators of the genre of heavy metal. I'm not an expert on his work â there are many people much more knowledgeable than me... but our paths crossed many times over the years, and I had clear glimpses of his unique spirit and personality. He was in many ways the antithesis of the current mould of TV-bred singers. He had no apparent desire for fame, in the sense that so many X-Factor contestants seem to. He was not a TV face, a 'celebrity.' He just loved doing what he did. So, to his millions of fans, there was an unquestionable feeling of reality to his persona, his songwriting, and his performances. His lyric-writing was very distinctive, and set a style in heavy metal which has influenced many bands over the years. To me, it was as if his mind operated in layers â on the surface, a hard-working honest singer, with a great humanity and strong sense of humour â and underneath, in the world of his songs, his subconscious seemed to be populated by hobgoblins of all kinds, and palpable evil forever on the march. His lyrics, dark and mysterious, in tune with the metal ethos, always represented the sword of goodness in triumph over evil.
I donât know if he invented the devil-horn salute, but he was certainly the man who, more than ever, made it a universal symbol, a worldwide salute of metal. He was universally loved in the community of rock music, and will be sorely missed.â
METALLICA DRUMMER LARS ULRICH (AN OPEN LETTER):
âDear Ronnie,
I just got off stage in Zagreb. I was met with the news that you've passed on. I'm kind of in shock, but I wanted you to know that you were one of the main reasons I made it onto that stage to begin with.
When I first saw you in Elf, opening for Deep Purple in 1975, I was completely blown away by the power in your voice, your presence on stage, your confidence, and the ease with which you seemed to connect to 6,000 Danish people and one starry-eyed 11-year-old, most of whom were not familiar with Elf's music. The following year, I was so psyched when I heard the results of you joining forces with my favorite guitar player. You guys sounded so right for each other and I instantly became Rainbowâs #1 fan in Denmark.
In the fall of 1976, when you played your first show in Copenhagen, I was literally in the front row and the couple of times we made eye contact you made me feel like the most important person in the world. The news that you guys were staying in town on your day off somehow embedded itself in my brain and I made the pilgrimage to the Plaza Hotel to see if I could somehow grab a picture, an autograph, a moment, anything. A few hours later you came out and were so kind and caring... pictures, autographs and a couple minutes of casual banter. I was on top of the world, inspired and ready for anything. Rainbow came to Copenhagen a couple more times over the next few years and each time you guys blew my mind, and for a good three years were my absolute favorite band on this planet.
Over the years I've been fortunate enough to run into you a half dozen times or so and each time you were as kind, caring and gracious as you were in 1976 outside the hotel.
When we finally got a chance to play together in Austria in 2007, even though I may not have let on, I was literally transformed back to that little snot-nosed kid who you met and inspired 31 years earlier and it was such a fucking honor and a dream come true to share a stage with you and the rest of the legends in Heaven & Hell.
A couple of weeks ago when I heard that you were not going to be able to make it to the Sonisphere shows that we would be sharing this June, I wanted to call you and let you know that I was thinking of you and wish you well, but I kind of pussied out, thinking the last thing you needed in your recovery was feeling obligated to take a phone call from a Danish drummer/fan boy. I wish I'd made that call.
We will miss you immensely on the dates, and we will be thinking of you with great admiration and affection during that run. It seemed so right to have you out on tour with the so-called 'Big Four' since you obviously were one of the main reasons that the four bands even exist.
Your ears will definitely be burning during those two weeks because all of us will be talking, reminiscing and sharing stories about how knowing you has made our lives that much better.
Ronnie, your voice impacted and empowered me, your music inspired and influenced me, and your kindness touched and moved me. Thank you. Much love.â
MOTLEY CRUE BASSIST NIKKI SIXX:
âRonnie was one of the kindest souls I have ever met and his talent was beyond inspirational to so many of us. I still have this image of him standing on stage in front of 100-thousand belting out âMan on the Silver Mountainâ and remember the shivers it sent up my spine. He will be missed by all of us.â
MEGADETH BASSIST DAVE ELLEFSON:
âHe was truly one of the âgood guysâ in this business and a consummate pro, someone we can all take a cue and learn from. We are all fans of his and he did many great things for Megadeth and its members. . . Iâm very thankful to have gotten to know and tour with him⦠We got to have many good moments with Ronnie during that tour. He is missed by us all. Our prayers go out to him and his family at this time.â
SMASHING PUMPKINS SINGER BILLY CORGAN:
âR.I.P. Ronnie James Dio. I only got to meet him once and I can honestly say he was the nicest person I have ever met in music. Ronnie was a true gentleman, and obviously one of the best rock singers there will ever be. What a sad loss today.â
Best ratings for SNL in over 2 years with Betty White as host. She is a legend and one of my idols. 88 years old and still killin it! Laughter and being hilarious is way hotter and sexier than nakedness. Way to go Betty!
Back in the 80's rushing home from school watching videos on MTV until General Hospital started. I wasn't allowed much tv growing up believe it or not. But my Mom was ok with me watching MTV because I told her it was 'educational for school'. Boys in eyeliner, chicks in tight daisy dukes and huge hair, low budget videos, yup totally educational. (Side bar-she was ok with us watching General Hospital too because she loved Luke and Laura) I miss videos like that! Here are just a few that inspired many and are the best REAL vidoes of all time.
TOP 6 CLASSIC VIDEOS EVER-
6. Weapen of Choice- FatBoy Slim- the one where Christopher Walken is dancing in it. Epic! 1999
5. Hurt-Johnny Cash- came out in 03, still a classic, remake of Nine Inch Nails. Haunting, chilling. 2003
4. Sledgehammer- Peter Gabriel- first vid to use way heavy special effects. Went awesome with your parents pot! 1986
3. Thriller- Michael Jackson-You know the Thriller Dance, you did it many many times. 1983
2. Sabotage- Beastie Boys- The beasties in those fake porno mustaches! The Best! 1994
1. Bohemian Rhapsody- Queen- best lip syncing ever and thier porno staches weren't fake! 1975
Prepare yourself for the greatest cover-parody song of all time!! Warning-turn this up LOUD!!!! Done by my good friends and local band- THE GRUNGE FACTORY, and special thanx to FUDGE RECORDING STUDIOS. Along with co-writers- Gay Jonny, Gonzo and myself. Jeremy Shockey loves Kat today!
There is a big chance you will hear Pearl Jam perform this at Jazzfest!
The definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I, Katina Maria Diamond Kageleiry, am officially batshit crazy. I have been dumped by new boy after only less than 3 weeks. I did not see this one coming. Literally out of no where. Dumped is not the word here. More like DROPPED, abrubtly and with no warning. Like a plane crash. Or falling on Bourbon Street, a common occurance yet still shocking when it happens. BOOM.KAPOW.IT'S OVER.
This came as such a surprise that I truly thought my mind was playing tricks on me and maybe I just dreamed the whole thing. But my friends said it was real as some of them actually met him. He also invited all of them to a crawfish boil at his house. The night before the boil is when he dumped me. My friends were bs. Not because of me getting dumped, they're used to that, but because they now couldn't enjoy crawfish. An almost riot broke out after that. "What do you mean he dumped you?? What about our fucking crawfish?? Are kidding us??? WTF? We want crawfish!!! What about us??" Ya, heartbreaking.
I'm not even a widow. There is no word for what I am. The love of my life died 10 monthes ago and I am trying to 'get back out there' again. (see previous dating after death blog) As such, I am willing to over look a few things that in the past would prevent me from dating someone. Example- if the dude is shorter than me. If the dude had bad shoes, if the dude needed to clip his nose hairs, if the dude talked too loud. All of those things and I was still willing to give this guy a shot. No one is perfect right? And he ends up dumping me?? Huh? What did I miss here? We didn't even know eachother that well. I only wanted to get to know him better. Him dumping me was like him saying-you are not even worth getting to know. My self esteem is awesome at this point as I'm sure you can imagine.
The next day I went to the cemetary to visit my Todd and I yelled at him. Like it's his fault! (It kinda is cuz he died but I'm pretty sure yelling at someones grave is not how normal people behave)
My motto has always been-BE FRIENDS WITH ANYONE WHO HAS EVER SEEN YO NAKED. Thankfully, this dude never saw me naked. So I don't have to be friends with him! He never existed. It never happened.
And further more Mr. Short Shoes Long Nose Hair Talks Too Loud, you are deserving of having rocks thrown at you.
Happy Dating people. I am for sure done with that!

MY EMAIL BACK TO THEM DICTATED BY MY LAWYER. MY LAWYER DOES MOSTLY MARITIME LAW WHATEVER THAT IS BUT SHE ADVISES ME WHEN I NEED HER TO AND SHE IS WORKING ON MY LAWSUIT AGAINST THE TV SHOW 'COUGARTOWN' FOR STEALING MY LIFE. ANYWAYS.......
Dear Miss Susan-
Thank you for the press release. However, and I'm not sure if you are aware of this, Jeremy is MY husband. (in my mind) And although this is for a good cause, it is utter and total bs. Please know I will do damage to any broad who goes near him.
Jeremy is aware of my affection towards him (stalking). He refers to me as 'that hot crazy girl on the radio'. See, he loves me!
In an effort to still raise money for this cause, may I suggest that I help raise money on the airwaves for this only IF I get the 'date' with Jeremy. My listeners are well aware of our passion and even refer to me as KAT SHOCKEY. My neices call him UNCLE SHOCKEY. I can guarentee if I get on the airwaves with this I could get donations for this cause but since my listeners are loyal, they will NOT donate unless Jeremy and I go out. Perhaps a moonlight cruise on the lake followed up by dual massages with oysters, chocolate, some Barry White and champagne. Just a suggestion.
I'm sure Jeremy will go for this. As I said, he loves me. It is hard for him being in the spotlight to go public with his feelings for me. I am very understanding about this dilemma.
Please mull this over with the folks in charge. And please tell Jeremy I have shaved my legs and will cook him a steak tonight!
Happy Spring!

Good job HBO. Watch Treme. Sunday nights on HBO. After 20 seconds I guarentee you will be hooked. Chilling portrayal of the REAL New Orleans. Finally, they got it right! Good good stuff.
I was fortunate enough to see the pre-private screening for 'The Runaways' movie this week. It rocked! So did the soundtrack. I did feel very dirty after watching the movie. Not because the gals were dirty girls (and they were) but because they were DIRTY GIRLS as in un-bathed. I took a shower immediatly after. This brings us to the ultimate Kat's 6-Pick ever- ROCK MOVIES. How could I just narrow it down to just 6? I left out the obvious Docu-Rock-Movies- The Song Remains the Same, The Last Waltz, Woodstock, Gimme Shelter, any docu about the Beatles, Stop Making Sense, People Are Strange, It Might Get Loud, Some Kind of Monster, Heavy Metal Parking Lot, etc etc. I have kept the list to MOVIES. With actors. Also, see 'honarable mentions as well.
Here we go- KAT'S 6-PICKS-TOP 6 ROCK/MUSIC MOVIES-
6. THE RUNAWAYS-The first ever all-chick rock band. Came and went all before the members were 20 years old. Joan Jett and company paved the way for female rockers all over the world. Great acting by Dakota Fanning as Cheri Currie and Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett. And whack-job svengali Kim Fowley as their brilliant tortured manager and con artist. He can still be spotted on the strip in Los Angelos walking with a cane and sometimes having green hair.
5. SID AND NANCY-The troubled life of Sid Viscious and his vacuous girlfriend Nancy Spungeon. And the origons of the most original punk band in world. You actually root for all of them even though they disgust you. Their music is still relevant today.
4. HIGH FIDELITY-Probably the most controversial movie on this list as it isn't really about a 'band'. It is more about a 'muisc nerd-snob' who thinks everything in his life can be compared to a song. He makes lists of such things-top 10 songs that remind you of your first love, Top 10 songs to play at funerals, etc. Well who doesn't make lists like that?! John Cusack and Jack Black star and perfectly portray these underdog music lovers. The book was awesome as well fyi.
3. ROCK STAR- Don't you just have to STAND UP AND SHOOOUUT! sometimes? Loosely based on the true story of a fan taking over the lead singer position in a huge metal band, this movie could have really been pathetic and goofey but they nailed it. Not too cliche but very relatable to all who have ever drove 3 hours to see thier fave metal band and tailgate in a huge parking lot before the show. Mark Walberg as the lead singer "Izzy". Predictable plot but sympathetic at the same time. Watch it while trying to still fit into your leather/pleather pants.
2. ALMOST FAMOUS- Don't you just get chills thinking about this movie? The soundtrack, the acting, the whole 'feel' of this movie puts you right there. Written by the great Cameron Crowe (married to Heart member Nancy Wilson fyi) Also loosely based on his own experience as a writer for Rolling Stone Magazine when he was just a teenager on the road with a rock band. "Still Water" embodies and is a composite of many many bands Cameron has interviewed. (Some say they were mostly based on the Eagles) It is a movie of rock, love, hope and redemption. All the while with a killer soundtrack and oscar award performances through out. (no one won one for this movie) I AM A GOLDEN GOD!!- best quote ever from a movie!
1. SPINAL TAP- (da!) See Video above. Nuff said. Any rock lover OWNS this movie and can turn the sound down and say out loud every single line in it.
Honorable mentions-
Purple Rain, Blues Brothers, Velvet Goldmine, The Doors, Saturday Night Fever, Foxes, Coal Minors Daughter, Buddy Holly Story
A restaurant in Thailand is playing it safe ... and has created a replica of Tiger Woods made entirely of condoms to promote safe sex. No glove, no love.
It's been awhile since I've written anything regarding the great sadness and the death of my boyfriend. Spring has sprung for most people. Not me. I am, not by choice, a born again virgin and spring time is driving me batshit!
Ok, so, no one wants to date the widow. No one wants crazy radio girl either. I get it. I get all of it. I have accepted that. I will die alone and be eaten by animals.
Here is how my 'dating' life has been going since my boyfriend went to heaven 9 monthes ago-
First there was 40 something dude. Single, never been married, no kids, tall, muscular , good looking, owns his own buisness. All right! In the zone! But oh no. On the very first date he 'whipped it out'. Yup, unzipped, OUT. (???) why would he think he could do that?! What is wrong with me for him to think that was ok?? Nope, never spoke to him again. Although, I have run into since and I couldn't help but unzip my fly a little and stick my pinky finger thru it and say to him-"what's up loser?"
Then there was hot dude who was even more in the zone. I never told any of my friends about him because it was too good to be true! We went on 5 whole dates! All was going great. Or so I thought. And then, THE QUESTION. The one I dread now. When the person you are interested in says-"gee, I can't believe you're single? Why are you single?". I didn't want to tell him the real reason. So instead I brushed it off and made a joke. But he asked 3 times! Finally, I had to tell him-"well, my boyfriend passed away".
End of date. Never called me again.
At this point, I decided if you can't beat em, join em. So I caved and went out with this hot 20 something that was hounding me. I didn't really care for him and just went to have fun. And boy did we! Old cougar with 20 something causing a ruckus in the club! He was very tall and threw me around a lot. (In a good way) and we danced and did shots and generally behaved like bad 20 somethings. I admit it was fun but I really didn't want to see him again after that 1 date. I soon found out he had some anger issues and was a white-supremist-nazi. For real! Sending me all these bullshit 'white power' text messages. WTF? I have never seen or spoken to him since.
After all that, I am ill. I decided to back track a little and hang out with 'familiar territory'. Yup, an Ex. Sorta an Ex. Someone I had been crushing on for years. Who happens to be awesomely good looking and the same age as me and single, never been married, a lefty, dark like me, tall, creative musician. Although we have a lot in common, we also have a lot NOT in common. For instance, he is dumb and I am not. But he's hot. So, we hung out. I took him to a Saints play off game. The one that got us to Superbowl! Just when I thought perhaps after all these years our friendship would turn to something more, he pretty much abondons me (literally at 4a in the fucking Marigny) and gets back together with an ex girlfriend. I guess after hanging out with me, he realized he loved her. Glad I could help with that.
OY! After that, I kinda hung with a really nice dude. Too nice. Why would I want to be with a NICE guy?? God forbid! Of course I was the one that fucked that up and told him the ole-"I just want to be friends". Now he hates me and is pretty snarky towards me when I see him. Serves me right I guess.
I can't make this shit up!
I do give up on dating. But I don't give up on love.
But I am not angry at him and I still believe in him. My brother passed away on March 8th. He is/was the funniest person on this planet. We have a lot of humor in my family and my brother is who I got mine from. And now he is cracking them all up in heaven. For those who listen to my show and read my blog, you know that I also lost my boyfriend Todd 9 monthes ago. It has been a year of death for me. The 2 boys I love the most in the whole world (besides my Daddy who is still with us) are both in heaven now. I have 2 angels watching over me. I do not want pity. God for whatever reason thinks I am strong enough to handle this. I am very sad and overwhelmed as I'm sure you can imagine. I still grieve for my Todd and now this. I do not question 'why'. I accept. I need to be strong for my wonderful parents. You are not suppose to outlive your child.
When I lost my Todd, I lost a future I will never know. When I lost my brother, I have lost a big peice of me. My childhood, my history, my past. Gone with him. Every major memory in my childhood includes my older brother Chip. You are one of a kind brother. I miss you aweful. And Todd, please show him the ropes up there. Hope you two behave and stay out of trouble!
I still love God. He just confuses me. This is why God IS a man and not a woman. A woman is more direct. A man makes you ponder and wonder and doesn't communicate as well us chicks. So, God, please know I am doing my best. And someday I hope you show me the reasons. Yes, I have read the book 'The Shack'. I recommend it for anyone grieving. So need to remind me of that.
Workforce, yall are my radio family. Thanx for being there. And for sure, my funny will be back for my brother very soon.
Chip and Todd-love and miss you always. You are my heros.
(PLEASE CLICK ON ABOVE LINK-it is a pic of me and my bro circa 197? at the beach. Always goofey together he and I. We were like that our whole lives)

http://twitter.com/shitmydadsays
You gotta check out above twitter link!! Funniest shyte EVER!! All it is stuff this 74 year old dad says to his son. So funny infact that a television sitcom is in the works starring William Shatner as the dad. Good stuff!
After many many weeks of reveling, it all started back when the Saints were 7 and 0, the play offs, then the most awesomest Superbowl ever then the biggest Mardi Gras ever, are you just tired of your ass???
Can't help but think-when is ST Pats Day?? That's how we roll here in Nola. Looking ahead to the next big celebration. It'll be a Black n Gold n Green St Pats Day for sure!
This will be the last time I post this awesome pic of my man Shockey (Til next season of course). I'll give it a some what rest during the off-season. Mardi Gras, Party Gras, Lombardi Gras and the dreaded of all holidays- Valentines Day. All in one weekend. Lots of love in this city right now. I am convinced many babies will be born 9 monthes from now. Love and Lombardi! Have a great weekend and a great Fat-Dat Tuesday!
Outside The Brees home uptown. Notice the 6-pack of beer infront of the gate. The first and only time a 6-pack of beer was left alone during Mardi (Lombardi) Gras! No one stole it! THANK YOU DREW AND ALL THE SAINTS! WE LOVE YA BOYS!
I am not worthy. At the saints victory parade, both Drew and Shockey threw right to me!! I am also not crazy.....well.....thousands of witnesses saw! Really! Standing on a great balcony with the Bayou logo every where helped them to see me! I went long and caught em! THANK YOU SAINTS!!!
This will be the 44th Super Bowl. Obama is the 44th President, there are 44 days from Christmas to the Superbowl, the Saints franchise is 44 years old. On Super Bowl Sunday it will be 4 years and 4 months since katrina. The Saints won in 4 minutes and 44 seconds of overtime⦠and Tom Benson graduation from St. Aloysius, (now Brother Martin in New Orleans), in 1944. Freaky, huh� No! not freaky! it is FATE!
WHO DAT!!! WE DAT DATS WHO! A black and gold bowl...FINALLY! And as we are all happy, estatic, somewhat still in shock and generally loving life right now, I pause to miss my Angel Todd. Who was the biggest Saints fan ever. He for sure has a hand in thier success this season as he has been helping them from heaven. (Where I believe all things are the color of black and gold this week) He at least is looking down and sending his love to them. He along with Buddy D. I can hear you saying 'Who Dat' right now. I picture your reaction after the field goal win against the Vikings, and I know what you were saying about the officiating! I miss you my Who Dat Angel. I know you'll be watching the big game from up above. And I know you will be blissful doing so. :)
Shockey arriving in Miami. With my bag!! He borrowed it. He also packed a few of his fave 'undergarments' of mine that bring him good luck! YEAH!!! GO SAINTS!!! Shortly after this picture was taken, he texted me and said-KAT, SEE YOU IN MIAIMI IN A FEW DAYS BABE!
Our Breezus in Miami as a bell-hop welcoming the team to the hotel!! He is so smart. Already thinking ahead if this whole football thing doesn't work out. He's got bell-hopping to fall back on! GO SAINTS!
These 2 clowns from a Vikings territory radio station called me and we waged a lil bet. Rock Dj's to Rock Dj's. They bet some gross fish from up there and bland crappy soup....?? Really? Food up there compared to here??!! Is this bet fair!!?? Doesn't matter, Brett and the boys are ballin all the way back to Minnasota come Sunday!!! The radio station up the is 95 KQDS. They rock like we do. (or try to) Click on link and click on KQ TRAIN WRECK and email those fools some good ole Nawlins SHYTE!
GO SAINTS!!! WHO DAAAT!!!
Me w/Sid from SDT. And me w/brother Weldon from River Parish Disposal. At the game this past Saturday. It's war of the hot trash men! Shockey could take both of them...
Me and Sid (Torres) asses. Doing 'Pants on the Ground' Sat. in the VIP Suite at the Dome. All the games I have attended, Saturdays was by far the craziest! And this is the only pic I can share with you! The rest are deemed 'unfit' by the FCC! GO SAINTS!!! One more to go THEN MIAMI BABY!!!
Warning to Dogs of the world-Trust no one! January 14, today, is National Dress Up Your Pet Day! Some 2 legged creature (a human) came up with this sad little idea. And today dogs and even some cats of the world are miserable. It's like when you were little and your parents took a pic of you in that 'cute lil outfit' and many many years later you saw it and want revenge on them. Dogs can not have revenge. They just put up with stuff. They can't even talk!!! So please, if you must dress up your pet today, put em in something black and gold. WOOF DAT!
(Golden retiever w/balls in his mouth is my beloved Zak when he was little. He is one of Todds dogs. I have visitation of him and his other dog Lilly. They live with Auntie Judy)
Yup, it's the end of the year, getting ready to bring in a new one! The following are lists of 2009 and the last decade. Resolutions for the new year and hopes and dreams for 2010 as well.
Here we go-
THINGS THAT WERE BAD FOR ME IN 2009- actually, many of these things have been bad for me for many years-
20-SomethingsÂ
Left-Handed Guitar Players
Miller/Coors Security-Bouncers
Yager (really? why do peeps insist they can be normal after a shot of yager??)
Smoking (da! also, too expensive)
Shoe Addiction
Discovery ID Channel (I am fascinated by people who bludgeon thier spouses!)
Was a big back of SUCK.....rhymes with WHAT THE F......?!
Except for my awesome t-shirt! (me and Sid in phote) More proof I need mental help......(ah it says 'KAT SHOCKEY' fyi....some crooked boob action goin on there...)
I am trying to write this post with the utmost positiveness I can conjure up. It is difficult. 12/24 is Todd's birthday. Yup, he almost shared it with the baby Jesus! I hope they are both celebrating. Todd, incase you do not know, is my wonderful boyfriend who passed away on July 3 2009. These last 6 monthes have had thier ups and downs needless to say. And although I know to count my blessings and be thankful and remain happy and positive as he would want me to do, I am crippled with sadness at this time as well. If it is possible to be sad and positive at the same time. That is how I am feeling.
I try to remember this poem that sounds like he is saying the words-
If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh a kiss. These things, I too will miss.
Todd is now our special angel in heaven watching out for all us! And FOR SURE making the opponents miss field goals!!
Merry Christmas! and truly, thank you workforce and making these last 6 monthes bareable.
Those broads were sooooo afraid of all my 115 pounds of whoop ass last night!!! That's me in the stripes. For some reason Gonzo dressed like a hockey player, I think he got confused when I said we would be skating comeptively. The big Easy Roller Girls ROCK! The truth is, they kicked me and Gonzo's ass!! We filmed with local band THE MORNING LIFE for a full-on MTV-Fuse worthy music video! Good stuff! And thanx to SKATE COUNTRY on the West Bank. I have bruises in places I didn't think you could get bruises....

It's the side dishes! Turkey rocks both traditional and fried. However, there is no aphrodisiac at all in the bird. You may want to fill up on the side dishes should you want some lovin this Thanksgiving Weekend! Best side dishes to get your Thanksgiving love on-
Pumpkin Pie-the smell of pumpkin pie makes dudes go wacky.
Figs- in the cranberry sauce. Add em in there, figs help blood flow.
Sweet Potatoes-the real reason Maw Maw makes them-this dish puts both men and woman in the mood due to the hig potenctey of potassium
Celery-an ingrediant in a ton of Thanksgiving dishes. There is something in it called Pheromone that males swear attracts woman. perhaps the only veggie dudes will now eat a lot of.
Here we go again. Another band blow up. According to sources, Steven Tyler has quit Aerosmith. Joe Perry says that Aerosmith will go one with or without Steven. Steven says he wants to focus on Steven and not the band anymore. How bout they all just shut up and stay together? We'll keep you posted on this one.......
Check it out, is it real? The picture was taken in 1997 at Jim Morrison's grave site in Paris by Rock Historian Brett Meisner. (you can see half of his body in the picture as well, Jim is to the right) and has just surfaced now. The photo experts and the ghost experts have unequivocally denied any tampering or airbrushing has been done to this photo. In other words, it is real! Look close and you will see Jim in his famous spread-arm pose. You can check out this ghost photo and many others in the new book- 'Ghosts Caught on Film2 : Photographs of the Unexplained' Available now and just in time for Halloween.
The New Orleans Film Festival has been a great success (it runs thru Thurs 10/15) Don't forget about the VAMPIRE FILM FESTIVAL happening Kisstober 23 thru Kisstober 25. Featuring over 50 Vampire movies you can sink yer teeth into. In addition to movie screenings check out the Costume Contetsts, Vampire themed parties at the Saint and the Dungeon, snacks and drinks inspired by Vampire culture and even a Vampire Ballet! All screenings held at the Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Arts Center on Oretha Castle Haley Blvd. New Orleans is the city that made the myth of the Vampire.

Vampire King Wrath and his band of Vampire brothers take on the baddies. It is vital to your love of Vampire authors and novels that you check her books out! I like them because they don't pay too much attention to humans. The Vampires are the shyte! Good Vampire love, sex, betrayal, gore. This may be good and bad, Hollywood has come a callin and may turn her books into a movie. I hope they don't eff it up. Vampire believers check out her books! I believe Vampires are among us. And most of them are good creatures. Happy haunting this month!
Google it. It's the title of an old, obscure Demi Moore movie that came out in 2000. I had never heard of it either until 4a on Saturday when my aweful sleeping patterns kept me awake and I caught it on a movie channel. With a title like that, I didn't think it was a porn. Porn would never use the word 'mind' in a title. When I saw Demi was in it I thought this must be one of her older, unknown movies when she still had a mustache. I got into this movie! I couldn't believe what it was about! It blew my mind! It's about this chick who doesn't exactly have a split personality but she dreams constantly of an alternate, make believe life. I've been doing this for decades!! In the movie you see Demi's character live 2 different lives. One she is a widow with 2 kids living as an artist of somesort in upstate New York. The other life is her as a single woman. Very ambitious and driven working in finance on Wall Street in New York City. You don't know what life is real and what one is dreamed until the very end. Who doesn't go into make-believe world?! I have since I was a kid. I used to pretend my parents were Sonny and Cher. I even called them that. They would answer to those names too! I have good parents, they always encouraged me. My Dad would say he was never a mustache man. Except for that one time he had to grow one because he lost a bet on the Superbowl. It never looked like Sonny's. The year my parents dressed as Sonny and Cher for Halloween was when I stopped calling them that. Sometimes things are just better when they are make-believe. Jump ahead to my New Orleans era. Yall know about my make-pretend deal with Sidney (Torres) See, yall even play along! The Sid thing isn't even a crush or anything. I mean, he's hot and all but I'm taller than he is and I'm pretty sure I can take him. I basically just make all that s@hit up. (And he is a super super great sport about it) Before my boyfriend Todd passed away on July 3rd and my great sadness started, and the times he and I separated for whatever reason, I would go into full make believe Sidney mode. All my friends would play along. I would say things like- "me and Todd broke up so looks like Sidney is flying us all to NYC to go shopping". Todd even played along. (god I love and miss him tons) We would get back together (everytime) and Todd would say-"this Sidney buisness is over". My friends would still carry on with it though and say-"you and Todd are back together, does this mean Sid isn't taking us out on the Yatch?". And now during the great sadness (will it ever effin end?) I have taken 3 men I have mad crushes on and combined them into 1. A composite if you will. His name is David Ray George. Yup, he's my new pretend boyfriend. George for Clooney, da! I really believe he is my future ex husband. David and Ray I think know that I exist but I'm pretty sure they don't even notice me. All 3 are tall dark and handsome. And now they are one person. My friends ask- "What are you and David Ray George doing this weekend?" "Has David Ray George met the dogs?" "When are you and David Ray George going to Vegas?" All my invations from freinds are to Kat and David Ray George. Welcome to my crazy. I don't think I need meds for this affliction. I think this is a healthy way to heal. (my shrink would prob disagree) Sometimes reality does bite. This is better. All my friends play along. Oh the support I get! I got good freinds! Back to the Demi movie- What you think is real isn't. Turns out her real life was the one where she is the single, driven career woman! Who would dream about being a widow with 2 kids???!! Who would dream that? Like I said, we all have our crazy. Thanx for putting up with mine. David Ray George just walked in. He wants to take me to Adler's to pick out jewelery. Gotta go....

That's me pee-free on stage intro-ing Lisa at the top. And me and bff Lisa backstage. Thanx for coming out workforce and supporting the funny!
I have only peed my pants twice in my life. Except of course for my first 9 months on earth. Yup, I was walking and potty trained by 9 months. I spoke and said full sentences by 6 months. Always in a rush. Me. I was so abnormal that back then when starting first grade, they didn't know what to do with me. So they put me in a 'special' class in first grade. Not special for smart kids, special for slow kids with learning disabilities. I lasted in that class for 2 weeks until an expert finally realized I didn't belong there. My older brother to this day still makes a comment about those few weeks of my early child hood. Out of the blue he will say-"remember that time you were retarded?". Back to peeing- I peed the very first time I ever bungeed jumped at the age of 19. I did it live on the radio and back then we had no 'delay' button. That is the magic button you hit and magically any and all swear words go away when doing anything live on the radio. My boss at the time told me to please please please do not say the eff word! Anything else he would let fly. But not the eff word. Being young and a smart ass I told him no prob, I got it, I'm a professional. I'm at the ledge, the mic is strapped to me and here I go bungee jumping for the first time on live radio. I lept off and sure enough, I peed my pants. And the first thing out of my mouth was- "I effin just peed my pants!" I figured I wouldn't get in trouble as I used the eff word as an adjective not a verb. That didn't defense didn't fly. It was the 80's so all was forgiven. If that happened today for sure I would have been fired. (sidebar-that is the one and last time I have ever cursed on air in over 20 yrs fyi) The second time I peed my pants as an adult was when I was at my friends lake house. I was passed out in the hammock in my bikini. Resting in the sun after a long day of swimming, tubing, tequila and sunshine. I was so relaxed from the lake air and sun and the sound of the water crashing against the dock that I slipped and let it flow right there in the hammock. I was so chill that I didn't even get up right away! Finally I ran to the dock and jumped in the lake. I blamed the dog on peeing in the hammock. Told everyone it was Molly the dog not me! Everyone bought it. (see above about tequila) And now I fear I will pee my pants for the 3rd time in my adult life when I open for comedian Lisa Lampanelli this Sat. night Sept 19. I just don't think I will be able to handle any boo-ing or heckling as I am not a comedian. I am just Kat. I am not going to prepare. I am just gonna wing it. As long as the audience is kind all will be good. I will not drink any liquids of any kind for a solid 48 hrs before. I have no pants that diapers would fit under. Immediatley after, tequila and yager will join me back stage. And then a nice long trip to the ladies room.
We all need one of those. A Go to Guy who is always there for you no matter what. Kinda like Rahm Emmanual is to Obama. He just kinda swoops in, tells it like it is, fixes things up quickly and then goes away until you need them again. I have a great Go to Guy. We don't chat often and we don't even hang out that much either. But we have always kept in touch and he has reached out to me during the Great Sadness. We got a chance to hang this weekend. He knew his job was to cheer me up. He doesn't talk a lot of bs and he lays it all out there with no sunshine being pumped up anyone's a*s. He's good like that. No matter how sad and small I may be, he does not allow pity. And now is about the time where you may be thinking we are 'friends with benefits'. Hell no! It's not like that if you must ask. (as if I'm ready for any of that stuff....) True friends, and that's it. I'm lucky it's like that and I appreciate his friendship. He asked some tough questions of me. Making me really think about the last couple of months and how and why things happen. He had no answers but he did have the encouragement and kindness I need. My Go to Guy, he knows who he is, thanx! You gotta get one for yourself.

This journey of grief sucks in every way it possbly can. Just when I think I'm 'cured' something hits me for no reason and I lose my sh*t. Will it ever be over? How can I have anymore tears left? I hate to dwell. And I apprecaite you letting me vent periodically since the great sadness started when my boyfriend passed away on July 3rd. I still look at his obituary on line. It has long since been 'archived'. But I find it and I still read it. I have signed the guest book way to many times and I go to his grave too often as well. There I feel it is just he and I and no interuptions. Even though he isn't really there. I hope anyways. A smart man once told me that death is easier for the dead than it is for the ones who grieve them. Sometimes I wish I could just sleep for 3 to 6 months. Maybe like that movie 'Flatliners' where they get real close to death and heaven and can chill in that state for awhile and come back. I want to do that. Just go up there and see him for a little while and come back. That's not real though, is it? Grief makes your realm of reality a little off kilter. I miss him. And I miss and mourn a future I never had.
The greatest outlaw biker show EVER!!! Last year in its first season it got a slow start. Mostly because it was on Weds nights. Everyone knows that Weds nights is the universal bike night in the world! So all the people who would looove Sons, bikers, are on their bikes and couldn't watch. This year season 2, new night is Tuesday nights. I think my bitchin helped that! A repeat episode on Sunday nights if you miss it's regular Tuesday night. (FX Channel) WATCH THIS SHOW!!!! It is not for the faint of heart or anyone who may be offended by certain 'colorful' language. Even if you don't ride, this show has it all- sex, drugs, comedy, tragedy, drama. With an incredible cast that includes Peg Bundy (actress Katy Sagal) playing the ultimate biker mama bear. And the Beast from Beauty and the Beast (actor Ron Perlman) and a relatively unknown British actor Charlie Hunnam. All worthy of praise in their performances. Episode 1 started out with a bang, literally! Mama biker gets attacked violently and grotesquely. Revenge is on the horizon for the Sons for sure in the next couple of episodes. So, Weds night being official bike night to get on your 2 wheels and ride, Tuesday night is now 'bike night at home night'. Watch Sons!
Beatles Day on the Bayou! 9-9-09 marks the day Beatles Rock Band becomes available everywhere. Listen to win your copy and and a ton of Beatles remastered catalogs and Beatles paraphanalia. Only here on The Bayou! All day starting at 1p! Tune in! Of course it's time for another 'Kat's 6-Picks'. One I kinda dread actually because I know there will be many who do not agree. John, Paul, George and Ringo. Here it is-
Top 6 Reasons the Beatles Broke Up-
6. The death of Brian Epstein. Yup, that's when it all started back in '67. The confusion and sadness and the mess his death caused for them. Definitely a low point.
5. The movie- 'Magical Mystery Tour'. Paul's idea fyi. Great album, lame, dumb movie. The other members fought doing it. Paul insisted.
4. Paul was kinda bossy/bitchy. (see above)
3. The formation of Apple Corps. Originally set up to hide their money and make it so they would pay less taxes, it ended up costing them kagillions and was never run properly until recently.
2. Hiring Sleazy manager Allan Klein. Paul wanted his father in-law to manage the band. That should have been the one time the rest of the band didn't fight Paul. Klein ended up screwing them over, ripping them off and costing the band even more kagillions.
1. Yoko and or herion. Yup, hate to tell ya, John was a junkie. H is the devil that kills everything and everyone in it's path. John never did herion before. Not until he met Yoko. I'm just sayin........
And there you have it. I know some will disagree. Perhaps I forgot some other key reasons? Bring it! Would love to hear it!
