I have tickets for March 21st! But I just don't think it's a risk that needs to be taken now. The $78 can be a tip to the band for all they've done FOR ME for THIRTY-ONE years. See that's nothing. The band gets about half. But for my generosity (all Ticketmaster fees being 100% irrelevant) JP gets 5, JM gets 5, Labrie gets 4, JR gets 5, Mangini gets 5... About 100 other people get a few dollars, and so on and on.. and then the venue gets the rest. Sound guy might get the most! Lights guy is in the conversation as well. No one makes less money because I won't actually be there, except for maybe where my $17 beverage cost goes.
Many tickets are also still available, so there's that, too..
I also buy all their albums.
"The moment that you recognize
Just where your limits lie.
Hanging on the brink of death
You're never more alive.
When you reach the pinnacle
The world is at your feet.
Welcome to the mind unleashed."

Concert Announcement: River City Rock Fest
Image Source
It's was made public several weeks ago, but I didn't post anything about it yet. Should be a great show, with exception of GnR. No idea why Alice in Chains isn't the headliner. Go check it out! Click the image above to go to the website for more info.

Dream Theater Instagram Photo Contest Entry (OC)
This is a composite image I submitted to Dream Theater's #DramaticEvents photo contest.. My ticket superimposed over my view from my seat. They were very strict on camera usage & picture taking at this venue. I only took about 7 pictures with my phone, so I didn't have a lot to work with.
Click on the image not only to enlarge it (because it's tough to see in the small version), but to go give me a "LIKE"! ...I appreciated more than you know!!

Van Halen - Hot For Teacher (LIVE)
..in San Antonio, TX 6/22/2012

This is the best one of the show, IMHO. This guy Jason uploaded videos of the entire show, and so yeah, I watched most of them. For the most part, David Lee Roth .. well he stunk it up. The way he "changed" Hot For Teacher actually turned out pretty good, but in most of the famous, classic, legendary tunes, he either: (1) decided he'd rather change things up a ton, or (2) he just refused to sing them the way we know them, or (3) he ~couldn't~ sing them the way we know them.
You can judge for yourselves by following the link to the rest of the videos from the concert.

Our Gov't May Have Known About 9/11 Beforehand
Apparently there is a former FEMA videographer Kurt Sonnenfeld, who claims to have "proof" that the attacks of 9/11/01 were an "inside job" of the U.S. Government. Oddly enough the U.S. Government is currently seeking his extradition from Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he currently resides, in connectionKurt Sonnenfeld (Image Source)
with the 2002 death of his former wife, a case which was dropped by Colorado prosecutors. (Source)
Following is a set of three video slideshows. The images in these three slideshows, along with the accompanying linked video, were taken by Kurt Sonnenfeld himself. He was one of only a handful of people allowed into Ground Zero after the September 11, 2001 attacks. These are the pictures he took:

Source for all 3.
Whether or not you choose to watch all 39-minutes worth of that footage, or whether or not you'd like to take a shorter route by watching this 9-minute VIDEO he also shot, if you do nothing else, please read Kurt Sonnenfeld's interview, published on June 22, 2009, and conducted by the Voltaire Network. Here is a preview of the interview:
"As official videographer for the U.S. government, Kurt Sonnenfeld was detailed to Ground Zero on September 11, 2001, where he spent an entire month filming: 'What I saw at certain moments and in certain places . . . is very disturbing!' He never handed his 29 tapes over to the authorities and has been persecuted ever since. Kurt Sonnenfeld lives in exile in Argentina, where he wrote 'El Perseguido' (Persecuted). His recently-published book tells the story of his unending nightmare and drives another nail into the coffin of the government’s account of the 9/11 events. Below is an exclusive interview by Voltaire Network." (Source)
The interview contains several very interesting embedded links, all of which when combined with the interview itself, the photos, and the video, one should be able to form his or her own opinion about this issue.

Do You Hand Out Kisses To Dirty Old Men?
Via - (NSFW)
I guess times change. Apparently this is from the time period 1980-1985, which surprises me, because I remember watching gameshows then, and I don't remember this one. Good thing I guess.
All I know is had this taken place in the last ten to fifteen years, this guy would've lasted on the air about 2 and half seconds. The guy in question is Fergie Olver, and the show is called Just Like Mom.

Rush's Neil Peart On Letterman's Drummers Week - 6/9/2011
Yeah, if it were not for Neil Peart, I would not be the person, let alone the drummer, that I am today. I sat and learned a ton of Rush songs, and played along with a lot of rock music. Iron Maiden, Metallica, a lot of others.. But there is no other drummer who is as great an influence to me than this man. I literally drummed to Moving Pictures start to finish hundreds of times. Then I went back to Permanent Waves, 2112, Farewell To Kings, and Hemispheres.
Ask any great drummer today his major influences, and if he doesn't mention Neil Peart, I'll be shocked.
He's the master.
