Some fun with the boys in Drowning Pool. Another one of those bands who can hang, and you want to do well because they’re such good people. They embody the real-life Spinal Tap. Or, if this works for you better, a modern-day Anvil. They’ve endured some of the worst luck I’ve ever seen. And yet…handle it with grace & class. Here we are goofing off before they go onstage in front of 50,000 in Kansas City!

When ordering sex toys via mail…always a good idea to make sure they are delivered to the right address. Coming (HA!) up with a good excuse is an exercise in creativity! A couple of things to always keep in mind…*usually* the hotter the chick sounds, the bigger she is. And…Neanderpaul Fun Fact: The file name that this phone call is listed under on my website server, is “grannydildo”

It’s a family show.

Joined on the phone by Mike McCready from Pearl Jam. Seems like Pearl Jam are taken way too seriously. As if, because they came from the “grunge scene,” they have to be moribund. Not sure why this is the case. I’ve always found the band to be fairly outgoing and gregarious. A little-known fact; Mike is *really* into the band UFO! In fact, he has a cover band that plays a benefit for Colitis research every year. Not the first thing I’d have considered out of Pearl Jam. Proves my point a bit. We talk about that, and the “return” of Pearl Jam.

Jeff and the guys in Tesla have been close friends for a long time. It’s so ironic to me, considering I got my first gig as a singer in a band by doing “Modern Day Cowboy” during the audition. And years later, I actually had a chance to sing “Comin’ Atcha Live” with them on stage. This turned out to be the final interview of my Kansas City career. This show was on a Friday night, and I got the axe the following Monday. Good way to go out…hanging with a good friend. Check out www.teslatheband.com to keep up on what these guys are doing. They’ve always been solid in every way.

This band had a good year in 2009. Now, we wait to see how they come back from “instant success.” This is from when they came back to play Rockfest 2009 in front of over 50,000 people. They were still new, and enjoying what was happening in their world. I like them. They can hang, and appear to be good guys. Plus…they’re diving right in to rock scandal-world with both feet! Always like seeing a band embrace the lifestyle with good humor. Saving Abel, do that.
