    I take it back. This was also good, and again, because of the music (This time by Doctor John):

    I did not see that particular sequel. If they have Son House music in it, that's a point in their favor but from what I've heard I suspect you're right about the rest of it!

    That song is about masturbation according to an interview Mike Patton give like 30 years ago.

    And 1989? Jeez, I'm getting old.

    Yeah, I remember in the old days listening to that song played over the mall speakers for all to hear. Malls were still going strong back in those days. So were bookstores, music stores, computer stores with tons of hardware and games, arcades . . . eh, they were diminishing but still easy to find. Now the mall looks like a haunted mental asylum from a Toronto B movie. The other places have turned into weed dispensaries, hookah parlors, and payday loans. It's nostalgia but it's not misplaced. I'm off topic, sorry.

    I do think today's music is better though. As long as you don't listen to mainstream drivel. The average then was greater than the average now.

    Therion finally put out another good album. Man, it's been a long, long time. And it makes me wonder: what if I've been dismissing the last albums after listening to the wrong tracks? I might have to listen to some of them to make sure I wasn't too harsh. Anyway, for this you've got to like opera and be okay with drums sounding like Hooked on Classics. Okay, so they're not that trivial, but they're reminiscent.



    Since the drums were weak on that (Therion always subdues them), I'll add this Metallica jazz cover. Here, the drums step it up to 11. The point is to make a jazz cover have an attack like a metal song. I might have posted this before, sorry.

    How is Muse nominated for a Grammy in the 'metal' category?

    Same way Jethro Tull won for metal. This is how you know these awards and halls of fame are no longer relevant.

    I like Tull a lot but I remember laughing at that nomination and win. I like Muse too, but metal they are not.

    Maybe the Grammys should contact me regarding the metal category--I can tell them the best albums of the prior year no prob. :D

    I was listening to Skynard and the Allman Bro. and getting into a deep place.
    Was it Fate or just not really aware that has put me where I am today.
    Being a child of the 60's may skew my perceptions a little.
    So many turns missed

    I give you—Mac Sabbath!



    Good demented fun! Craked me up about a dozen times, mostly catching things onstage and in the background. The singer does a pretty decent impression of Ozzy—his voice and the way he stomps around, but his singing really blows. Other than that they actually sound pretty good. And what's with the dude with the KFC bucket on his head toward the end? A little snipe at Buckethead maybe?

    Lyrics (cause no way can you tell what he's saying):

    Children gather after classes
    No more witch with horn rim glasses
    All kinds of quick fun munch’n
    Sit right down to Ronald’s luncheon
    In kitchen those Macs are burning
    on the spit no pork is turning
    Where are Pigs of unwashed kinds?
    A Mac rib I’ve got to find!
    Oh LARD, Yeah

    My favorite meal should be on shelves today
    Not tucked away in a drawer
    Why can’t they ever see the light
    Don’t they know I’m a Mac rib sandwich whore,


    Yeah Slime wont tell of my sour finds
    Making us wait just for fun
    Everyday should be hot off the press
    Can’t Wait 'till that rib stamped patty comes, Yeah

    Mac rib is back, it stops my yearning
    Looks like finally they are a learning
    No more franchise I have to scour
    Taking a barbecue sauce shower
    Smell those onions, I am bawling
    Off to the death the pigs they’re hauling

    Wipe the sauce off your fat grins
    Mac rib is back the feast begins
    I scored yeah!​

    Awww hell no—this one's even better!

    Rachel Flowers—musical prodigy. Blind since birth and autistic, but she can play Keith Emerson music apparently better than anybody has since the man himself. As well as lots of other things.



    She also plays guitar and flute.

    And Argent:
