Spookycreep Comment by Spookycreep on April 11, 2011 at 11:19am

  I'll tell you something else. This, ultimately is what I think religion amounts to: the highest form of positive thinking known to man. In the end, it's purpose is to teach one to live without fear or worry. In this world, maybe only a God could help one to do that_ something higher than yourself to handle the things we cannot see or know.

   and Ms. R. You're still my friend whether you like it or not! (So there.)

Another old AP person told me to keep PMA too. Right on!

 PMA is the bullet proof vest baby! Never leave the house without it_ no, never get out of bed without it!

@Bowery Thanks for B'day wishes. It was a good time. My band got to share the bill with doom legends Iron Man, whose members feature 2 older Brothers. I should send them here. More the merrier

@Rosenda I was one of those front of stage right next to monitor folks. Still am sometimes if I remember to bring earplugs.

dj ceiba Comment by dj ceiba on April 1, 2011 at 7:52am
dodging mental and spiritual, emotional and social bullets (and the occasional physical one, too) since the 70's. WHY NOT!! :) it's as good an attribute to uphold as "mastering the art of PMA", spookycreep!! & every bit as useful.
Spookycreep Comment by Spookycreep on April 1, 2011 at 4:51am
    Whats up old-heads! (better that than "pops". I can't stand "pops" and don't allow any jitterbug to get away with it either) Here's a thought: getting old means you have mastered the art of dodging bullets. Thats a damn good thing.
Kaminelana Cheatem Comment by Kaminelana Cheatem on March 13, 2011 at 12:00am
@Rosenda -- LOL!!!  Seriously, some kind of super, mega steel!  I was just joking with a friend about Olga from the Toy Dolls and Lemmy both being part-vampire because they look soooo much like they did in the old days!  It's crazy -- I saw the Toy Dolls in L.A. back in '84 and he looks ageless!!!!!  Maybe a teeeeny bit more meat on his bones...but he's still the silly skinny spaz!
Rosenda Comment by Rosenda on March 12, 2011 at 8:59am
Word, you were up un front of those stages by the monitors too? ;) what fun! I'm thankful my hearing is okay, but I think it's cause when I went with my friend Janelle to the big 30th anniversary Motorhead concert a few years back, for the first time ever, it was too fucking loud, and both of us felt like cotton balls were in our ears for 2 days later. So I finally realized the value of watching shows a few feet off. It's STILL fun!! Did anyone see that documentary about Lemmy the singer? It was hilarious and he must be made of steel!
Kaminelana Cheatem Comment by Kaminelana Cheatem on March 8, 2011 at 7:47pm

@Rosenda -- chica, I LOVE what your friend's nephew said!  Here's to the survivors!  Yeah, my ears have some damage from the all of the old shows and speakers I stood next to in the 70's and 80's, and my knees don't work as well as they used to, but, damnit, the rest of me is in pretty great condition! x0x0x

@Foundry -- Happy early B-Day!!
