..I saw an extremely interesting segment on HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel last night....it featured former pro wrestlers Diamond Dallas Page...Scott Hall...and Jake the Snake Roberts..... Apparently DDP is now teaching yoga.......yes I said yoga....and he is marketing it quite effectively...to the point where he as sold half a million dvds....what was interesting was the fact that Page reached out to Scott Hall and Jake Roberts (who have both battled their share of demons over the years) and openly invited them into his home which is where they both currently reside....and as long as they stay clean they are welcome there apparently.....anyways if you get a chance to catch it by all means do so.....Seether on the way to town!!!! and of course I will be out and about this weekend so I do hope to see you soon..............Rick

The 45th anniversary of Led Zeppelin's first concert will be celebrated next month....their first show actually occurred in Denmark....it was originally slated to have the Yardbirds (Page's band) perform but they broke up....and as a result Page formed a band with Robert Plant....John Paul Jones...and John Bonham...and thus Led Zeppelin came kicking and screaming into this world....they were actually billed as "the new Yardbirds" when they played their first gig that fateful day 45 years ago....Hinder in town tomorrow night and I do hope to see you there!! and of course I do hope you are having a great Wednesday!

...The NFL regular season kicks off in less than one month....FINALLY!!!!!....am starving for some football!!!! will Kansas City improve?....I would have to think so with the recent additions to that team....Alex Smith definitely will not hurt their chances...not to mention they are in a division which is unpredictable if nothing else.....San Fran should be a pre season favorite as well as Atlanta..in the AFC you gotta like Denver's chances....and Houston as well.....but hey it is the NFL and anything can and usually does happen...had a great time over the weekend at Pleasures was great to see those of you who stopped by....will be there again this weekend for their LUAU!!! hope to see you out and about soon.....Rick

...Anyone who knows me at all knows I am a die hard NY Yankees fan...always have been..ever since I was old enough to pick up a bat and glove I have bled NY Yankees....that being said...I still have little sympathy for the plight of Alex Rodriguez...Don't get me wrong....I respect his accomplishments on the field...PEDs or no PEDs...600 plus hrs is just that....600 plus hrs..it places you in an extremely elite club....I don't care how much "help" you may or may not have had....it takes a massive skill set to be able to get to that plateau....I guess what bothers me about him is simply the fact that he won't just own up and face the music so to speak.....we all make mistakes none of us are immune to that...it's part of being human...my grandfather once told me that making a mistake is what makes one human....admitting to it and doing what needs to be done to rectify it is what makes one a man......he told me that when I had not even hit 10 years old yet and I will never forget that....A Rod got caught...as did at least 10 others.....who all (with the exception of A Rod) have agreed to the consequences and have accepted the penalties incurred.....A Rod chooses to appeal...which he has that right....and I personally find no fault in the fact that he has that right...what I do find fault with, however, in what A Rod masquerades as his motivations for his actions....he claims it's about the game and his love of it......I have a tendency to believe he filed his appeal so he could continue to draw a paycheck....plain and simple.....it's blaringly obvious to many and I would have more respect for him if he just admitted to it instead of offering up a charade.....the absolute best thing he could do for the game would be to face the music...take his suspension...work hard during his suspension which looks to be a lengthy one (through the 2014 season) and be ready to come back and finish his career with a couple good seasons....go out the best way possible.....as compared to doing what he is doing now which is obviously financially driven....I have always had a special place in my heart and soul for the game of baseball and always will....I see it as the greatest game ever invented....which is why it pains me to see A Rod do this....just my opinion and nothing more lol.....I do hope you are having a great Wednesday!

....Anyone who knows me at all is well aware of the fact I am a HUGE baseball fan....always have been....from the first time I picked up a bat and glove at age 6 I have been in love with the game...there simply is no other game like it...no other game with it's rich tradition and history..I LIVE for going to the ballpark....I could easily sit through a triple header....which is why the recent PED scandal that has rocked Major League Baseball has saddened me to say the least...unfortunately performance enhancing drugs have been a part of the game I love for some time now and I am not so sure they are going away any time soon...rumors have been floating about a possible lifetime ban for A Rod....perhaps that's exactly what needs to be done....maybe the league needs to finally get serious about actually doing something about this glaring problem...instead of just ignoring it and hoping it will fade away....maybe a lifetime ban enforced on one of baseball's biggest stars will send a clear message....one that says we are going to clean things up no matter what it takes....we are tired of it...and it is going to stop....I guess time will tell... baseball will survive....it has been through worse....I do hope you are having a great Thursday an I hope to see you soon!

...."No..we did it and it's done."....those were Rob Zombie's words in a recent interview while at Mayhem fest in Illinois....He said those words in response to whether or not there would ever be a White Zombie reunion....he went on to say " And it wouldn't be good. That's the thing. I mean, a lot of people forget, because they went to see White Zombie and they were 15 years old and it was their first concert and everybody in White Zombie was, like, 23 years old.
