Manson ended up headlining this show due to illness on Ozzy’s part. I had heard that Ozzy actually hit it hard the night before in Seattle, with a few other un-named members of the tour. During his performance, he was very sick, and molested (fisted actually. I think she sued him for it) one of his backup dancers. Come on down! Bring the kids! It’s a family show!

Here’s one of (how many?) my talks with Lars. I always seem to have an awkward moment with him. We’ve had many good times over the years. I am always humbled when he comes up and says hello. Lars knows me. That’s pretty cool. During this chat, we had a listener with us, who was supposed to interview him. Lars made her feel comfortable. Until my awkward moment. Classy.

This is the third song in the famed “Creed Trilogy.” This one also wasn’t on my CD. So, this would be the only place you can find it these days. Of all the shots I’ve taken at the band over the years, this is one of my favorite pieces. Also one of the longest. I think it holds up though. The payoff seems to be worth it. People ask me who write and sings my songs. When I tell them that *I* do, they say “we didn’t know you could sing.”  I then tell them “If I could…I wouldn’t be in radio.” This was a fun one to write *and* sing. Hope you enjoy it.

So…you may have heard me play Disturbed’s “Liberate” together with Chaka Khan’s “I Feel For You” a few times over the years. Fact is…they’re the same song. I told David. He was…euphemistically surprised. This was long before Mashups became popular. I will edit this piece and insert the track so you can hear it for yourself. It’s VERY funny…now. It wasn’t to David.

This was pretty early on in the career for these guys. VERY smart, and tolerant. A good day in NoCal. I wish they’d have stayed together. I thought they were more musical than Slipknot, to whom they were most compared. And, if I’m being honest, I think Hellyeah sucks. So, if these guys decided to reunite someday, I’d go check it out.
