The Answer e The Dead Daisies (la band capitanata da John Corabi, ex-Motley Crue), due grandi band del rock'n'roll moderno insieme per un co-headlining tour, il 29 novembre a Milano, ai Magazzini Generali.
Un duo micidiale che tutti gli amanti della musica rock non potranno perdere.
The Answer hanno raggiunto il successo con il loro album di debutto Rise con oltre 100.000 copie vendute in tutto il mondo. Il gruppo fu fondato dal chitarrista Paul Mahon e da Cormac Neeson coinvolgendo il bassista Micky Waters, un vecchio compagno di scuola che aveva già fatto parte di numerose cover band intorno a Belfast, e James Heatley, che aveva suonato in un live degli Ash.
Il leader dei Def Leppard Joe Elliott ha dichiarato apertamente di essere un loro fan e Jimmy Page ha addirittura affermato "Se volete vedere come eravamo noi Zeppelin negli anni'70 ascoltatevi The Answer".

So, when I moved to Michigan from Tennessee I had to update my driver's license, of course.
I dutifully checked the requirements at the State of Michigan's DMV website for all the documentation I needed to prove legal residency in Michigan & my US citizenship. Paperwork in hand, I headed off for what I believed would be an uneventful trip to the Department of Motor Vehicles. Or whatever they call their equivalent office here in Michigan.
When I arrived, I was delighted to discover the Turn-O-Matic contained the answer to the ultimate question. "That's a keeper!" It seemed an auspicious omen.
When it was finally my turn to dequeue, I presented the official checklist of documentation plus my corresponding trophies.
» Legal ID: Check (Tennessee driver's license).
» Proof of residency: Check (utility bill delivered to a local address with canceled stamp).
» Proof of US citizenship: Check (my birth certificate).
I was set to pass muster with flying colors till the clerk behind the counter noted, "You have a problem here,"she tapped my birth certificate. I knew there couldn't be a problem: I'd just had this certificate mailed to me from my home state. It was a legal document, state certified—with official-looking seals and all. (We'll leave off any discussion of my suspicious and possibly illegal adoption for some other time…)
"What's wrong?"
"This needs to be a U.S. birth certificate."
I looked again. Yep, my certificate. My home town. My home state. Everything looked fine. If it was counterfeit, at least it was a true counterfeit… "But it is. That's a United States certificate of live birth."
"No," she replied, "It's from New Mexico. It needs to be one of the United States."
"What?" I was stymied. "New Mexico *is* a state."
"No, it's not."
"Come again?" I was momentarily at sea... Finally I asked, "Do you have a phone book? I'll show you… it's one of the contiguous United States. It's west of Texas and east of Arizona but north of Mexico. It's the 505 area code. Have you seriously never heard of New Mexico?" I couldn't believe I actually had to say this… I thought it might be a joke. Was Ashton Kutcher lurking nearby? Allen Funt?
But, no.
Sensing my verbal flood was about to reinitialize, she excused herself to exercise one of her life-lines, retreating into a back office, certificate in hand. I believe it was time to call in the big-guns and consult with a superior officer.
No joy. She returned only to reiterate: "You need a birth certificate from a valid U.S. state. If you have a passport, though…?"
"You're kidding me, right? Seriously, give me a phone book, I'll show you a map. Surely you have a map of the United States here?"
Exasperated, she exercised the second of her life-lines and turned to the clerk working one station over.
"Hey, Tammy ... 'New Mexico,' is that a state, or what?"
Tammy looked at her like maybe she'd just spoken in tongues and tentatively answered, "Yes…?"
"Well, I guess this will do, then…"
And just like that, I became a citizen once again.
Which leads me to wonder… what if I didn't have a valid birth certificate? Could I truly have bluffed my way through?
In our effort to deny aid and comfort to the terrorists and Martians lurking among us, no matter the checks and balances we put into place at our state departmental licensing bureaus, it all falls apart when confronted by the all-too fallible judgment of the occasionally undertrained and undereducated people behind the counter.
And the lack of a good map.

Yesterday was the
dark anniversary of our
5th year of waging an illegal
war in Iraq. Thousands of
true patriots around America
took to the streets to protest
this horrific war. In North
Hollywood, California,
home of me and mine,
protesters took to the
Northeast corner of
Laurel Canyon Boulevard
and Ventura
with a flag-draped
coffin and placards
urging us to remember
peace.
Across the street
were pro-war
picketeers, who,
although they had more
flags, seemed less tranquil
and much angrier. When I
approached for a photo
and commented on their
"Surrender Is No
Option" sign, suggesting
that the most meaningful
option would be to pull our
soldiers out of there before
anymore are killed, as have
been nearly 4000 now before
them.
They took great umbrage to
this idea, yelling at me
and trying, in vain, to
show me how wrong I was.
Which was okay. But when a
woman saw the Beatles
button I was wearing and
said with a strong tone of
nasty,
"John Lennon was an idiot,"
I think she crossed a certain
unfortunate line. I mean -
attacking John?! Now?!
But back across the street
in the lane of peace
there was an almost zen
calm as these true
American heroes held
gentle cups of
candlelights against the
encroaching dark
knowing that our long
national nightmare is
truly coming at long last
to an end.

Day 154 - Today I turned 42. Happy Birthday to me.
Apologies for the lack of sparkly 4, it didn't want to light, and stupid me wanted to take this self portrait in the garden, which was a bit breezy! 😂

I decided to get a tattoo ages ago and, since my interests (read 'manias') have changed over the years I wanted a tattoo that represent a bit of everything.
I didn't get it all in there but I'm very pleased how it turned out.
