Saturday Night Video

I actually like Head East, despite last week's slagging...

so anyway, I have a nagging suspicion that I've posted this before:

Range Bag Loaded

I have a back-up plan...

so anyway, I've got all my range gear prepped and loaded up for tomorrow.  I expect to be set free from The Stoopid Business by 3:00-ish PM.

If it's not raining, I go to Island Lakes to pop some caps, both long gun and sidearm style.  Raining?  I go to FireArms Exchange and turn money into smoke and noise (and little 0.357" holes in paper).

It's good to have options...

I told you I have a back-up plan.

more soon...

P.S.: (Both Island Lakes and FireArms Exchange have been prominently linked here. Do your own damned Bing search, dammit) 

Saturday Night Video

tonight will be the first "Battle of the Bands" in this feature's short history...

so anyway, I'm rummaging through the notepad file where I keep all the links to the cool, cool tunes I bring to you on Saturday evenings, and I ran across a conflict.  My note-to-self in the file read "Rainbow - Since You've Been Gone SOON!!!"  All-righty then.  Decision made.  So, I lit up Blogger and started this post, but when I went back to the notepad file and did a quick find for "Since You've Been Gone" I came up with the song by Head East????

Here are the two versions, side by each.  You can vote on which version is better in the Comments below.

First, the original:

Twenty-one years ago...

so anyway, this:

Saturday Night Video

the song pre-dates the "music video" era...just listen

so anyway, I've always been a big fan of Joe Walsh, long before everyone went gaga over "Life's Been Good".  Rocky Mountain Way was his first song to hit it big, number 23 on the charts in 1973.

Pragmatic Dictatorship

we are so totally boned...

so anyway, via Ace, we find this little gem by Donald Sensing:

"...Obama can do this not because the Constitution or law authorize it. Most definitely they actually prohibit it. He is getting away with it because there is no one who can stop him and almost no one who wants to stop him. No one, and I mean absolutely no one, in the Democrat party is in the slightest interested in reining in Obama's expansion of executive diktat because they know what few of the rest of us are awakening to: the Democrats are never going to lose that executive authority again. Let me be clear, with a promise to elucidate another day: there is never going to be another Republican president. Ever."

Read the whole thing.  It's almost as depressing as my explanation of why Hilary Rodham Clinton will be the next President.

If I can just do one thing consistently, that's a start...

so anyway, I apologize for the lack of actual content lately; for the past several weeks my life has been scaled up to 72 JPH (that's 72 jobs per hour, for the uninitiated).

Yet, I still bring it on Saturday nights.  To wit:

JJ Cale, RIP...

so anyway, last Saturday we learned the sad news that JJ Cale had passed away at 74 years of age.  If your musical tastes include classic rock, you're familiar with his work.  Here's my favorite of his songs (at the time) as played by my favorite band (at the time)
