In the 1960s high school and college football players tried to imitate Fred "the Hammer" Williamson by attempting his Spear Tackle ["I want to let up 'em wake up on the sideline wondering who they are and what planet they're on."]. We had lots of cervical compressions and fractures. Some of the...

This short film was actually a commercial made for Teaberry Soap, used by the military and in many locker room showers of the 1950s. I saw the commercial and our college locker room had Teaberry- as well as Loc-R-Room wick air freshener which contained Dipropyl Triptamine, sister to Dimethyl Tri...

"There was, at first, The Higgs and the Creation. And Yea we searched forth in agony for its namesake. And Lo we did build a Quantum Physics version of the Tower of Babel to reach yon God, but we were forsaken and blamed all but ourselves. And thus out of its ruins rose the New Gospel of M T...

The hilarious thing is the big dog fight down in the Physics trenches to get at a few hours on the world's accelerators, most only coming away with the same results as other experiments showed. the definition of Madness, to me, is performing the same experiment the same way and expecting differe...

The Higgs is flawed from the beginning because it relies on the Standard Model. Scientists have been pursuing it in a Christian Crusaders' zeal to find the Holy Grail of Quantum Physics yet unable unable to find it because it might not be there regardless. And upping the power with more brute ...

I'll admit this art comes from the artists' imaginations and the composers' inventions, they do not really represent anything other than the "standard commercial model" what media sees as "pleasing" its consumers and clients. I don't think copying Magritte, Dali or gamer artists and trying to ma...

BaaaZayyy!

Super interpretation of an old and still great Protestant chestnut in the true heart, never mind the mistakes which we can't just go back and change after its done. Virgil Fox and Anthony Newman would have lauded you, as well as I. Sometime I must tell you one of my Funny Organ Stories. Keep y...

If the Russian Film Industry could make a major motion picture out of this concept it would probably be as big a hit as "Close Encounters". And it would be better to dub it in English, not with subtitles. Some of the dialogue could be in Russian and subtitled as well as the Nazi's speaking in G...

To nail it down lets add The Police, reformed Fleetwood Mac, Cyndi Lauper, U2, Blondie, the Clash,. OK, I'm done.

The Sweet Adelines are Boss. I've seen them quite a few times. One can touch 'em. but that hall they're playing in sucks swamp water. don't ever do this to the best acapella women's group in the world.

there's only one word for this performance: Exquisite.

This si why the Beach boys belong in the Pantheon where The Four Freshman, Andrews Sisters, The Whipoorwills, the Ames Brothers, the Hi-Los, the Williams Brothers and Manhattan Transfer are. (We now include Vertical Voices, The Swingle Singers and the Paris Double Six). Lets thank the high sch...

I have that video "Phil Keaggy Guitar Method". This comes at the end. The sampler unit is from Roland. His signature lick which he invented is the picking "yank" which is done with the volume knob and is easy to learn. You use your little finger. Mounting the knob a little closer to reach ca...

Totally Manhattan Transfer. Hey, don't I know you?

Sometimes its best just to put it out there so others will have some idea about the process of learning a particular piece. Thanks laying it on us. You are one monster bassist.

I heard him do "Teen Town" with Weather Report. Recently I heard Marcus Miller perform it and he added some other things to it and did it a lot cleaner, but with as many harmonics. I've tried to play it and found it difficult if even for the entrances. I'm always sloppy. Practice, Practice!

Jaco Pastorius opened up the electric bass, particularly fretless bass, to its true heart and soul just as Luigi Boccherini did for the cello. Unfortunately he suffered from Manic Depressive disease just as Mozart, Mussorgsky and Tchaikovsky. And regardless of what Pat Metheny said there are sev...

Sorry, this is the trailer for "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". Official James Bond trailers always come with the gun barrel opening and the logo of MGM.

What is this? Its not the PBS Frontline doc. "Spy Catcher: James Jesus Angleton And The CIA. In it Angleton jails and tortures for 5 yrs. former Soviet Adm. Yuri Nosenko who sought asylum in the US. Meanwhile an out-of-control paranoid alcoholic Angleton is forced to resign as DCC. Congress...

To: "Do You Believe In Magic" by John Sebastian

Do you believe in chemtrails

In the high blue skies.

When jets are streaking

For miles and for miles.

Do you believe in chemtrails,

They're spewing clouds of white.

You've heard all the stories and

You've chosen what's right.

So, there's no ;'moun...

OK, so he can play scales, hammerons, pulloffs, shreds and all the stuff they teach you in the videos. But how is he on arpeggios, double stops, hammered harmonic chords, soaring portamentals, chord structures and augmentations and inventiveness? Where is his discipline? Has he tried Steve Vai...

This why the really good musicians are careful about the halls they play. They know the places are also instruments. But some suck and others are cathedrals to music. Why do they build school auditoriums like gyms? So here's the solution solved by Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead: Literally stu...

The guy front row second from the left is Ward Swingle himself; Yes, he sang in both his groups, the other being the Paris Double Six.

In the U.S. this was released as "Bach To Bach" on Philips. It was white faced album. Released in 1963. I still have my copy.

There's a You tube video of the Swingle Singers performing this, also Rondo Alla Turk. These are the old French SS. The newer group is amazing, but not as well known. the old Philips albums from the '60s featured Ward Swingle himself directing and even singing. They did use traps and a bass b...

Lisa Simpson and the Swingle Singers. Yep, that'd be her song. Huge fan of the Swingle Singers.

It is said that if a soldier in training to be a Spetznaz is injured or dies in training the comment is "No good for Spetznaz." supposed to be the most brutal training on earth.

The Spetnaz "Systema" hand fighting technique is based more on street fighting and total attack which is aimed at not giving the opponent no chance to resist and the Spetznaz soldier's superior strength, stamina and quickness. Other Spec Ops soldiers use matial arts techniques and agility. Most...

see how Sensei maintains proper posture, balance and centering. Note how he flows, moves and executes with economy. Note especially how he is non aggressive actually protects his attacker trying to be careful to do no harm to himself or his opponent. Note his awareness and presence of mind and...

Great! But I would have feared what would have happened if she had tried to challenge someone like Virgil Fox with it, Hans Fagius, Ton Kooperman or

Cameron Carpenter

'Tis a sin to hide one's talent beneath a bushel basket. This display is a blessing unto all- even if I am an agnostic.

Little too heavy on the bass, but I think Pryrimidion is their best tune. Why does Helsinki get all the good stuff? Plus an Ikea at the top of the world.

I was radarman in a CIC. The U.S. screwed the pooch from the water line up. It failed to verify and ID, it did not use proper charts, it knew it was in Iranian waters, it initiated hostile fire without VID or EID., it fired on unknown aircraft, its crew was not ready or had ever been in the fo...

click on "The Man Whose arms Exploded" pts. 1 thru 5. Its another "The Death of Rico McTaco", but more graphic and ugly. Its also a true story.

Its really not nice to mess with mother nature, especially with steroids: 28" arms? Sure. Huge trikes? Massive pecs? Sick legs? Bowling ball delts? but along with it you get peanut balls, pimples, roid rage, lowered immune system, liver damage, kidney damage, risk of bacterial infections, he...

Note that there are no cuts, pop out veins or striations. No definition. No balance. These are the arms you get with direct steroid injection into muscle. The steroid is trapped between fibers intercellularly (between cells). Its also called "compartmentalization". The size is also due to fo...

You know its just a name and the kid is little, totally unknowing and his main "cool thing" is using his mouth to shock people. He doesn't even know what the word means (as a matter of fact, most people, even the ones who get called the name, don't know what it means, though they think they do a...
