Get On Your Bikes And RIDE

Greetings!
Golden day today, a little work a little fun. More fun please. More idiotic folklore on Friday, today I want to talk about guilty pleasures, like motorcycles and rock and roll. My friend Jetpacks turned me on to Ross Halfin’s site and I lost over an hour (conservative figure) checking out his star studded gallery of the bands he’s shot. Some of my old faves, Arrowsmith and (don’t laugh!) Def Leopard (back stage pass once upon a time when the drummer had two arms), and Billy Bob Thornton!
Ok, here’s my prediction for a band you are going to hear more about: Stuck Mojo. Described as rap metal, and politically incorrect….maybe you won’t hear about them. But I do love the song “Home”, it’s a good one to sweat to. And then there’s an interesting ditty that won’t be getting any airplay called “For the Cause of Allah”.In another life, we used to collect war propaganda, and I was thinking hey! How about an all American concert tour to rally patriotism and maybe even raise some money for body armor! We have Farm Aid, I’m thinking American Bad Ass Tour, featuring Ted Nugent, Stuck Mojo, Kid Rock, Toby Keith and maybe a couple of other country artists with two first names. Lots of flag waving and explosions!
Ok, quick sad note re: Rock. Bradley Delp Suicide? That hurts. He was tired. He didn’t know that naps can save your life? Who can understand suicide? It seems like the ultimate F.U. However, we had a friend who shocked us all by blowing his brains out, his suicide note was a rant on the US GOVERNMENT and TAXES. He was self-employed. Dirtsister feels his pain as we wait for the call from the CPA.
Back to fun: I’ve seen a lot of bikers on the road lately and I’d like to take a little air myself. Actually, we always rode in the woods and this is a beautiful time of year to go, April is even better when the Dogwoods are blooming, but watch out for spider webs and praying mantis! Dirtsister bit a tree one time when she realized the ugly insect had hitched a ride on her handle bars!
So…the closest we’ll probably get to a motorcycle is with our fabulous new “Hog Heaven” urns….coming soon.
Another new development we’re working on is The Final Ride. For those of you that like to pack your ash and hit the road.
Quick customer service note, earlier this week we pulled a Kramer, traveling as far as we could go on fumes, finally whipped into the first station in sight, groaned when we saw the old school pumps (no pay at the pump and it was raining) and behold! An attendant appeared to PUMP MY GAS! Wow! That’s Scotty’s Rt. 66….and they are closing at the end of March.
Today’s tip for better living: Take an air bath…Ben Franklin style.

Easy to get lost at Halfin’s place. Read his comments on Robert Plant.
