I looked at tickets for the Motley show in Tinley Park IL in August and they're fairly reasonable so I'll probably go. Other than that Milwaukee Metal Fest in June and AC/DC in Madison in April. Was thinking about going to see April Wine and Lita Ford tomorrow night in St Charles IL. Last show I saw was Pat Travers in rural IL. A bit of a drive but I'm glad I went.

Tora Tora- Van Halen

I'll skip this one. Go see Tesla and/or Extreme elsewhere if you get the chance. I've seen Tesla three times in the last three years and they're still fantastic. I saw Extreme and Living Color two years ago which was a great show. Crue on the Stadium Tour were pretty bad. Although I was hammered by the time they started which made it more tolerable. The tour last year was a lot better. John 5 is good and the A/V backdrop thing was impressive. I enjoyed it but the openers were crap. Buckcherry is garbage and Seether isn't my thing. I'd be more willing to see Crue if they sacked Vince and just found a soundalike replacement on YouTube.

All three are very good and Moon Man (pale ale) and Staghorn (a seasonal Octoberfest beer) are also good.


I don't know if they still make it but I like Road Slush a lot.

That promo for Kimmel's show with the Mexican guy with the wig was really funny

Streaming is cheaper than buying physical media.


Yep I stopped caring about owning the physical copy and liner notes and holding the object in my hand a long time ago. I had about 1,000 CDs up until around 2008. Looking back it's crazy how expensive they were. In the '80s upwards of $18 for popular titles at the corporate mall stores. Cheaper at the indie places but still like paying $30-$45 in today's money. And a lot of times buying the whole CD just for one song.

call him benchod and hang up.


It's funny because then they either hang up or say "f your mother" which gives me doubt that I actually have a legitimate "senior supervisor" on the line.
