The Left Side Of The River

You were wrong
Every one of you
And we all know it
Yes...oh, yes...
My hands are wet
The soap got them clean...yes, it did
Yes, it Goddamn did
You didn't want the soap to clean them
You wanted the soap to do nothing
Because you wanted to blame the Corporations
For deliberately burglarizing the American Consumers
But, the liquid, dish-soap delivered as promised...no?
And this towel...this greasy, fucking towel
"Hell-Cloth!", I shriek to an empty apartment
"Only the He-Goat would dare deceive me!"
"Yes, I will!"
"Yes, I fucking wiiiiiiiiiiiilllll!" I scream.
Of course, the door is locked
I am looking at the grease-soaked, Goddamn counter-top!
All the Goddamn, greasy counter-tops
I have wiped off with this 
Rag of Lucifer's Corruption!
I can actually see myself wiping the coagulated Burger-Oils from
The faux-wood surface in front of me
This fucking towel...this Menace!
I haven't washed this towel in fucking weeks!
I know this, as I'm drying my hands on it...
I let the ultra-plush fibers envelop my hands
I momentarily ignore the unsanitary
Enemy-of-God-Seduction
Concerning this Terry-Cloth-Arch-Fiend
I wipe down Demo-Gorgon-Tainted counter-tops every Goddamn day!
"Unwashed Behemoth..." I shudder.
Everything that spills in the kitchen, I am using this Goddamn towel!
Multiple Times Daily!
Oh, you bastard!
Polluted-Angel-of-Satan!
Something is happening...
There is a low rumbling...an indistinct humming...
My whole body is affected...
I can see it in the sky...the animals know...
Global dimming...
Blurry hysterics...
The street is filled with vehicles...
I am transfixed...confused...yet...obedient...something...
I hear a disturbance...
Civilian Up-Roar...!
It is coming from all sides now...
This is only a drill...
The Cyborg commands are clear and unquestioning...
That was my front door being kicked in, just now...
They are here...
It is time...

The "My Sharona" Guitar Solo

THE "MY SHARONA" GUITAR SOLO - Am I crazy, or is the big guitar solo on "My Sharona" one of the best solos ever recorded? There was a time in my life (not long ago, actually) where I'd watch this video 20 times a day. It's the best live performance of this song I've seen, check it out! The Knack - My Sharona RANDOM THOUGHTS... Of course, the main guitar riff in this song is classic. The octave-jumping bass riff heard in the intro is also doubled by the guitar, and it was written by guitarist Berton Averre. I also think the first guitar break (you could probably call it a solo, Mr. Technically) at the 1:17 mark is really good. Today, however, I want to focus mainly on the full-blown celebration of life that is the big guitar solo... THE GUITAR SOLO (2:35 to 4:06) ... ... I'm almost appalled that this song is not mentioned in Guitar World's Top 100 Guitar Solos list. I mean, what the hell?! I'm sorry, but the "My Sha...

Great 80's Videos ... Cinderella - Shake Me

Cinderella - Shake Me - 1986 - Here's an excellent song and video from Cinderella. "Shake Me" was the first single off their multi-platinum selling debut album, Night Songs , and it's probably my favorite Cinderella song. Shake it! RANDOM THOUGHTS ... This song has it all: Great guitar riffs, awesome cowbell, and kick-ass vocals. A " foot-stomping rocker " if you will. Cinderella is one of my favorite bands from that era, I saw them live (with Poison, Dokken, and Slaughter on the Power To The People Tour in 2000) and they put on a great  show, doing all of the cool guitar tricks they display here in this video. And of course, Tom Keifer is a great singer, one of my favorite rock and roll voices. It captures the energy, so showing them playing the song live in the video works pretty good here, I think. ... Bands, and people in general, don't talk about "shaking" like they used to. Back in the day, there were songs about "shaking...

Great 80's Videos ... Zebra - Tell Me What You Want

Zebra - "Tell Me What You Want" - I heard this on Dee Snider's House of Hair recently and it blew me away!  It's got killer vocals, a killer guitar solo, and a kick-ass descending chord progression.  And, as you'll see, the video is everything you'd expect from Zebra... which probably isn't much.  Enjoy!  Zebra - Tell Me What You Want RANDOM THOUGHTS - This is the opening track off Zebra's self-titled 1983 debut album.  I've always wondered why bands opt for no album name?  Just make something up, for crying out loud!  How about this: Heaven Ain't For Sinners .  That's a perfectly good album title for a hard rock band, and I've got a hundred of them like that!   0:19 - Enter the mysterious tigress.  As far as I can tell, there are four main elements to this "narrative":  The tiger-woman, lead singer Randy Jackson, a mannequin, and a red door.  What does all this symbolism mean?  Well, it probably means they...
