Congrats to Alex Rodriguez of the NY Yankees for becoming the youngest player in MLB history to reach 500 home runs.
Steroid-head tied the wonderful HENRY AARON on Saturday. Loved the slack jaw look of Mr. Bud Selig, commissioner of baseball when it happened. He looked, snarled, stood and shoved his hands in his pockets....was actually very comical...
Then all day Sunday, ESPN ran clips of the major home runs hit by a player that came into the game with the most incredible potential. If you can catch it (as we are sure they will replay it when he hits the next one) please watch it and pay attention.
Homer #1...skinny 20 year old, with some muscles...
Homer #100...pretty much same body...
Homer #200...he is a bot bigger but nothing amazing...
Homer #300...not much change...
Homer #400..ummm did he add a half a person in there?....
Homer #500..WOAH! Who the hell is that, he is big...
Homer #600...now there are two people and his head is growing...
Homer #700...he is, no lie, 2 1/2 times the size he was when he began and his head has grown 5 hat sizes...
FOLKS, LIFTING WEIGHTS DOES NOT INCREASE YOUR HEAD SIZE!
In keeping with Morgen's wonderful Manic Monday... let's just say, we think steroid-head LIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He didn't know what the cream and 'clear' was..the stuff his trainer and the CHEMISTS gave him...yeah dude... here, close your eyes and open your mouth...promise we won't put anything in your mouth....LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1That said, our newest template project is a few days behind. And we really didn't have anything set to post.
We also had fun screwing around on TurnBaby's BlogTalk Radio Show with Mr. Fab...we took the show over for a good 20 minutes...heehhee
Next two days we are off-site in planning meetings...
Heard a snippet of something on the radio yesterday, and it keyed our song of the day...
Ladies and Gentleman, boys and girls....
THE PAUL BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND...
Paul Butterfield was born and grew up in Chicago. After studying classical flute as a teen, he developed a love for the blues harmonica, and hooked up with white, blues-loving, University of Chicago physics student Elvin Bishop.
The two started hanging around great black blues players like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Junior Wells.
Butterfield(Harp) and Bishop(Guitar) soon formed a band with Jerome Arnold(Bass Guitar) and Sam Lay(Drums), both of Howlin' Wolf's band.
In 1963, a watershed event in introducing blues to white America occurred when this racially mixed ensemble was made the house band at the Chicago blues club Big John’s. Butterfield was still underage at the time.
The Paul Butterfield Blues Band added another underage member, Michael Bloomfield as lead guitarist and signed with ELECTRA Records. Their original debut album was scrapped, then re-recorded after the addition of organist Mark Naftalin.
After the release of their first album, Lay accidentally shot himself – he subsequently recovered and played drums for Muddy Waters and James Cotton – and Billy Davenport took over on drums.
The Butterfield Band's second album, East-West (1966) reflected the music scene's interest in sitar great Ravi Shankar and other Eastern musicians. It was also critically acclaimed.
This is the title track from East- West, written by Mike Bloomfield & Nick Gravenites...remember kiddies an interracial band in 1966 playing this eclectic music...
THE COUCH NOTE (added later): Think about the music of 1966; Beatles, Nancy Sinatra, The Beach Boys, The Dave Clark Five, The Rolling Stones, Simon & Garfunkel ruled the charts...and in Chicago these five guys were creating this masterpiece....INCREDIBLE!
HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE MUSIC...SEE YOU TOMORROW....
