What’s up??

I’m so happy for the city of New Orleans! Just great people who deserve the happiness they’re feeling right now.

And it’s good to see Drew Brees finally get his…All the mediots talked about was how great Peyton Manning is. They overlooked the guy who’s been the most productive QB in the NFL over the past 4 years…in fact:

Since becoming a Saint in 2006, Drew Brees has thrown for 1359 more yards than Peyton Manning. The same amount of TDs, only 6 more INTs in 154 more attempts. And has a completion pct. of 66.85 to Manning’s 66.5. What I’m saying is…Brees has been the better QB.

I make no attempt to hide it. I LOVE that city & everything about it. I made some of the best friends & had some of the best times of my life.  Those that have never been there…can’t possibly get it.

Actually, there’s a big difference between living there, and visiting. The city has a real “voodoo” that’s awesome, and beautiful, and no matter what the media tells you about crime and poverty…The people of New Orleans love their home. Their pains are not self-pity. They’re genuinely hurt by what’s happened to their city. They’re so proud of the laid back vibe. It’s just a VERY special place, and had the station I worked for not gone away…We’d probably have never left.  I love New Orleans! It is where I would choose to retire.  And someday, still hope to.

Although, going to the ‘Dome for games is a BLAST!…It still ain’t the Black Hole! 🙂  But, I do own a Ricky Williams jersey from his rookie year!

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Meanwhile…The search for the next gig continues! Good things are ahead. Thank you for all of the e-mails of support. Both here, and on Twitter/Facebook/Myspace.

For your pleasure? I present another in a long line of Lars interviews. I think I may have spoken to him more than any other musician during my career. Either him…or Ozzy. Either way, not bad at all. This was done prior to the third (?) show of the Death Magnetic Tour. And as always, we had a blast.

Here’s where favorites like the “45” song, “Back To Back”, “Creed Trilogy” AND “No Talent Ass Clown” CD (featuring “Duck Duck Goose” & Whiskey In The Jaymz”) live. I get lots of requests for this stuff. Enjoy.

The first Saliva album was pretty awesome. I remember knowing Josie & Co. back in the late 90’s, when I was in Memphis. Josie was still a struggling bouncer at one of the strip bars, and performed on stage in a suit, and sunglasses. It was an odd look at the time. Little did we know that the band would develop a hip-hop style. Their first album has some great stuff. including this one, which I think, still gets played at sporting events. One of my most popular songs. I take no responsibility for ruining the original for you forever.

A little ditty I put together during the downtime prior to the release of “St. Anger.” You might recall that James was going through some tough personal issues. I never mean any malice when I write these things. I just want people to laugh. Most of the time, the bands get it. The band has allegedly heard this one…and were “amused.” Metallica has a great sense of humor. One of my most-requested tunes. Enjoy!!!
