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

By
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...

Top 5 ... 'American Gladiators' Games

By
TOP 5 - 'AMERICAN GLADIATORS' GAMES - We're talking about the classic, original American Gladiators here, which aired from 1989 to 1996.  I loved that show and always thought the athletic events they competed in were awesome and probably a lot of fun to do.  Who doesn't want to give Swing Shot a try, right?  So I've compiled my Top 5 list of American Gladiators games.  I consulted a master list on Wikipedia , and clicking on the event names below will show you a video of each one, courtesy of American Gladiators.com and YouTube .  The only criteria is, How awesome was the game?  Enjoy!  1.   Assault - Ever notice how the cross-bow had the touchiest trigger in the world?  I swear, most times that flimsy foam arrow would be in flight before the contestant even got a chance to aim it.  And when the arrow did fly, it never went straight.  My favorite weapon was the ball cannon; It seemed to be the only one with even a trace...

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

By
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...
