Michael Angelo Batio was born left-handed. He said that when he started playing guitar (right-handed), his right hand "sucked." He spent 2 years exclusively developing his right hand alternate picking technique. He, like Yngwie, was not a natural prodigy....

Roger Taylor was listening to a lot of punk music when he wrote this song. He also played bass and rhythm guitar on this track. Dr. Brian May played the lead guitar licks....

This is a bunch of New Age hogwash--which is ironic because much of what was in Colonel Corso's book had already been told to me by career military personnel long before Corso's book was even published....

The "dead man walking" simply refers to the individual vortices inside the main funnel which Dr. Fujita called "suction vortices." For a picture of this phenomenon in the Jarrell tornado, simply Google "dead man walking tornado"....

This brings back memories....

I was so inspired by this song, I ran out and stole the CD....

@babystinky Wendel Clark, Joe Kocur and Barry Melrose are cousins....

For those who were asking, the piece Yngwie plays at 0:43 was written almost 300 years ago--J. S. Bach's "Air on the G String"....

This video is an excerpt from the Repertoire Workshop series on CBS. The half-hour play is titled "I Remember Foxtrot," starring Bob Kaliban and Lada Edmund Jr. which first aired 4-9-1967. You can find out more by Googling "lada edmund jr tribute page"....

Give Ray Leonard credit. On page 48 of the January 14, 1991 issue of Jet Magazine, he admitted that Thomas won this rematch....

Bruce Dickinson's songwriting skills really matured on the "Accident Of Birth" and "Chemical Wedding" albums--2 of the best ever. The music is as much orchestral as it is heavy metal.

This powerful futuristic song would have made great theme music for TV's Smallville....

The entire "Psycho a Go-Go" movie can be found both here on YouTube and also on Facebook (the Lada Edmund, Jr. Tribute Page). Here on YouTube, search "Girl in a Cage Part 1" and "Girl in a Cage Part Two"....

Rob Halford had a 6 octave range in his prime. Amazing.

Nice guitar work by Jake E. Lee, but the vocalist is wearing too much mascara and eye shadow--it makes him look like a tart....

Gotta love Vlady--what a great defenseman. Joe Kocur said that Vlad would crosscheck his own grandmother if she was standing in front of the crease....

Tough guy Donald Brashear on Joe Kocur:

"Kocur was hitting me in the helmet like a power hammer and in the end the helmet split! I remember the next day I had a terrible pain, my gums on the left side of my head were hurting even though he was hitting me on the right side of my face. I couldn't ...

Nice understated drum work....

@TheMightykaz If you google "jarrell tornado images," you will find a photo which clearly shows the 3 separate vortices which converged. In the video footage shown that evening on national news, the tornado appeared almost benign. That's because it was sucking up everything in its path like a vac...

Classic! This was on Detroit UPN50 on a Sunday night with Ken Daniels on the play-by-play and Mickey Redmond laughing (and providing color commentary). This may have been the easiest of Shanahan's 656 career goals....

Thank you!

Stu Grimson is a Christian and a lawyer. Here, the Grim Reaper wants to take the law into his own hands and put the fear of the Lord into somebody....

Unforgettable bout. An absolute war. Both boxers displayed incredible heart and absorbed tremendous punishment. This was back when you could actually watch classic fights on live network TV....

3 words: Hall of Fame....

Darren McCarty will be forever remembered for this classic goal. This is a gutsy guy who would do anything to help his team, and he is very funny in person. If you're a Red Wings fan, you gotta miss The Grind Line....

This storm was similar to the Waco tornado of 1953: both began as pencil-like funnels and developed into half-mile wide wedges....

Thank you lindaharris 26!

People say Frank was a Jimi clone, but that was the R&B style of the time (Don Covay, Bobby Womack, Curtis Mayfield). Jimi and Frank simply took the style to another level.

Gotta love CKLW!

Freddie Mercury's song is a description of Richard Dadd's painting, "The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke."

Dadd spent 9 years working on the painting in the Bethlehem Hospital (1855-64) where he was committed after stabbing his father to death and being certified insane....

I was lifting weights when I was a kid and this song came on the radio, and it pumped me up so much I set a personal bench pressing record....

As a by-product of generations of hillbilly inbreeding, moonshine-induced cerebral deterioration, and regressive evolutionary development, I endorse this video....
