....Thank you Mathew Maguire.......thank you for proposing Labor Day as a national holiday in 1882 while serving as seccretary of the CLU of New York.....Oregon was actually the first state to honor it as a holiday in 1887....by 1894, the 30 states officially celebrated labor day.....President Cleveland evenutally signed it into federal legislation and made it a federal holiday for all states.....hey it's America and anything can happen!!! so once again.......thank you Mathew Maguire.....for this outstanding 3 day weekend and for those to come!.....thank you for stopping by..........Rick

....I just checked out the new Metallica track (When a Blind Man Cries).....which is actually a remake of a Deep Purple track that is part of a Deep Purple tribute album.....It's definitely not the typical Metallica meat and potatoes sound....however I still love it!!!!...and it does have a definite Metallica "feel" to it so to speak if that makes any sense.....The album it is off of is entitled "Re- Machined a Tribute to Machine Head.".....and it includes contributions from Chickenfoot...Black Label Soceity.. The Flaming Lips...Metallica....and more....it was done in honor of Deep Purble's Jon Lord, who passed away last month.....it will be out on Sept 25th.....and I look forward to hearing it in it's entirety!!!! make sure you listen to my show today because I WILL be playing the Metallica track off it!......hope to see you out and about soon.....Rick

...Election years are always...if nothing else....somewhat interesting/entertaining so to speak....I mean it always seems both sides are guilty of the mud slinging...the slanted and biased commercials/billboards/radio ads.....the constant finger pointing etc....there is no doubt about the fact it can get a little ugly sometimes on both sides of the fence.....I am not about to even attempt to tell you who to vote for or support or whatever.....I figure that is no one's choice but yours and yours alone.....I will say this to you, hoewver....please...please ...vote......again I have no concern as to who you vote for....write someone in if you don't like the choices....write yourself in if you so desire.....but please go to the polls and cast your vote.....the reason I tell you to do so is quite simple to me....it's the same reason that I will make my journey to the polls on election day......American men and women have sacraficed their lives and have shed blood on many foreign soils in order to defend our right to cast that vote....and that is something that I take very seriously and will never take for granted....and I will never, under any circumstances, throw my right to vote away.....it has been paid for in full many times over.....I do hope you are having a great Thursday!

...Have you ever wondered about the origins of certain little sayings and phrases we often use?..for example...."rule of thumb"....which is a term derived from 17th century judge Sir Francis Buller..who allegedly ruled that it is ok to assault your wife with a stick, given the stick is no wider than you thumb.......(i couldn't possible make this up)....or "poor as dirt".....which finds it's origins in the fact that when actual wooden floors first started to be constructed for private home use...only the wealthy could afford them...therefore if you were not wealthy you more than likely had a dirt floor.....or how about this one....."dead ringer"....during the latter part of the 19th century race horse owners would often try to fool bookies by bringing two similar horses to the track....one fast and one slow....the owners would run the slower horses for all to see, thus driving up the odds against it....then place bets....and switch them out so the fast horse would actually run the race....hence the fast horse was the "ringer".........I do hope you are having a great Friday and hope to see you out and about this weekend!

.....Our presedential election is right around the corner....and I will definitely be going to vote this November.....I most certainly hope you will too......I don't go because I am a huge supporter of either party....to be honest I agree with the Democrats on some things and the Republicans on others....I would consider myself sort of an independent I guess.......the reason I vote, however, has absolutely nothing to do with my political affiliations.....I vote because of the fact that American men and women have given the ultimate sacrafice so that I may have that right.....to me it's not a matter of who to vote for as much as it is simply exercising my right to do so....a right that has been paid for with the lives of our service men and women......and that is something i will never take lightly. I do hope to see you at the polls in November! Rick

....late last night while doing my usual up at 3am and cant sleep routine I stumbled across the cartoon network while flipping through channels.....and for a second it broght me back to my childhood and Saturday mornings......there was just something magical and irreplaceable about Saturday mornings when I was a child.....getting up specifically to watch the Saturday morning cartoons....I can recall vividly watching Bugs Bunny......Roadrunner......Yosemite Sam....not to mention Fat Albert and the Gang....and of course all my favorite super heros in action as well.....of course things on Saturday morning are nothing like that any more....i assume....considering I haven't watched Saturday morning cartoons in quite some time.....I have no idea what they are showing now.....but I am quite sure it is nothing like what I recall.....perhaps one of these Saturday mornings I will relive some of my childhood and find out for myself lol.........thank you as always for stopping by...........Rick
