Sirius/XM’s Boneyard Bone Head Programming

Stiff competition and a very poor play list makes Sirius/Xm radio a tough choice. Who the hell is running the show anyway, the suits that don’t have a clue what good hard rock and metal music is? With all the competition, Cd’s, Mp3’s, I-pod’s and I-phone’s it’s time to forget about traditional thinking and step it up. Expand the play list!

Awesome Rush Concert Experience

Rush was on the road supporting the album “A Farewell to Kings” and I did not want to miss it. Getting concert tickets back in the day was just a phone call away. The ticket bandits did not exist and everyone had a chance to see a show for less than an arm and a leg. What I experienced that night at the show was something I will never forget and have never experienced since.
