... you saw "Black Sabbath" with Dio when it was called "Black Sabbath", not "Heaven and Hell".

Today has been weird on MySpace.  Normally, it would take over 2 months for me to get a dozen friend request.  Today, I've gotten almost 3 dozen.  WTF?  Most are kids between 14 and 17.  I asked one of them how they came across my page.  They haven't responded yet.   When I know, you'll know.

I remember now....  Part I

Yesterday, I got "Cliff'em All" by Metallica.  I remember when I bought that on video tape.  I remember I used to watch it all the time.  Then, I thought back to the last time I watched it.  I was like "Oh My God!  It's been over a decade".  Now, that video sits in a box along with a bunch of other videos I used to ( Read more... )

I will begin writing a series of entries about what it's like getting older for me.  I guess, when you spend most of you time lying in a bed,  you think about life a lot more....

You know your "old school" metal if...
