Last Rose Of Summer

We had a few laffs.  Famous last words from those who have passed through my life.

This blog has slowed to a grinding halt - as tough times and other endeavors take priority in the Roller's life.

Since everything goes full circle, I feel it fitting to end as it started.  Ranting about Judas Priest's farewell tour kept me busy.  A great band regardless of their current tribulations and dubious demise.  The music lives on, and hopefully past their mortality.

This early Priest song, slightly ripped off from an Irish poem, continues the same sentiment, and expresses my feelings better than I ever could with mere words.

Pretty, clean, Hendrix style chords, and it's related to Gardening! -another of Rotten's many hobbies.

Man tries to control nature, but nature's will always triumphs.  No matter where man may sow a seed, or tries to direct it's propagation, the originality and unique individualism of the species lives on, uncontrolled-almost untouched by man.  Man works in earnest against forces he cannot really control, always in awe of the results.  (Wow man, that's some heavy shit!)  

This concept applies to more than flowers if you think about it.

Touching, sentimental, beautiful.  An ending........ and a beginning.

Farewell for now...Rock on

Cake & Cement Mix, Mixed Financials

Today's blend of the good, the bad, and the yummy!

Our Last Sin drummer cooks!  Cupcakes!  Kimmee Masi starts her own biz - Confections of a Rock Star.  She found an eco-friendly app for all those empty guitar cases Pete Townshend had lying around...

Not sure how the frosting remains intact.  If Les Paul were alive, he'd have it figured out-and refrigerated.  (Dual coil humbucking magnets on the foil tins and a NiCad wireless rechargeable coolant system would be in order.)

Look for her somewhere on the real Jersey Shore.  Please ignore the MTV stereotypes and wish her the best.

Mixing Cement in Hollyweird, Jane's Addiction just got plastered on the Guitar Center Walk of Fame, and announced a new studio album.  Anything to keep Dave Navarro out of the financial industry would be greatly appreciated.  Confirm's Citibank's recent ranking in the top ten for worst customer service. 

Gene Simmons Premium Financing customers can't complain because they are near death.  Can you spot the aging rock star?

Trumpty Dumpty taught him something...about hair maybe. 

The Bat Liz has to be just as old as his new partners at Cool Springs Life.  Maybe older?  "Just For Men." Red Power Tie is very agressive!  Sharkskin Pinstripes are downright Gangsta! 

Cool Springs? Sounds like bottled water...And you thought the original KISS concept was confusing?  Try to follow their contract! Only pays if you die before final payment is due.  You bet your life!  And play to lose!  Only millionaires with offspring and trophy wives need apply.
