Words to bring jealousy to the heart of every true lover of rock & roll!

Some people claim ...

... that everything in life happens for a reason.

I vehemently disagree ...

... with that sort of nonsense.

But if they insist that they're correct ...

... then I insist that the entire universe was created

just so I could see ...

... Los Straitjackets live.

Very comforting, Kay. It truly gives meaning to it all.

And the theory is falsifiable. Just try it with a random band or artist:

"I believe that the universe was created just so I could see Wayne Newton dryhump his way across a Vegas stage for the umpteen zillionth time."

See? Doesn't work, does it.

How about:

"I believe that the universe was created just so Axl Rose could take longer to finish Chinese Democracy than it took Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel."

I can't even say that with a straight face.

Eddie Angel's a right kind of guy ... I've known him for years. Albany native. The true link to Link. One of my favorite guitarists to see live.

Well, duh, Kay ... those "random choices" were invalid variables. Inserting them into the theory was akin to considering lead or iron as fissionable material in a nuclear reactor.

OK. I'll grant that the Axl Rose thing was a little underhanded. But I draw the line at any implications that Wayne Newton dry-humping his way across a Vegas stage for the umpteen zillionth time isn't art. Um-hmm.
