On one world someone ( ahem Max ) likes this guy- he’s a famous actor.

My niece- who is a sane 15 and exists on the same Planet as Max -knows him as the PriceLine.Com guy-

okay, I have to fess up when I  started to think about this warp in reality I felt like I was in one of those Twilight Zone Episodes involving Mirrors and people who look like the people you know…

but they’re not.

( scary music bit comes in here )

Okay- for real now….

I actually thought that entire Priceline/ Captain Kirk situation was pretty funny until I remembered the first time I was shot into a screwed up alternate reality.

Here’s what happened- I  was a HUGE MEGA fan of a band called Slade when I was like 10 or 11 and shut the Heck up about it years later when  this Metal Band hijacked TWO…COUNT THEM… TWO of their songs and flew them straight up the charts.

I should have had more guts…I should have at least laughed at the lameness of it all…I was a musician, I played in clubs, I taught guitar and you know what? I could have articulated why something like this was just wrong, wrong, wrong.

Well I didn’t, and that turned out to actually be a defining moment in my life because from that point on  I NEVER hid how I really felt about Music or  Politics or Writing after swallowing that bitter piece of vomit.

Okay, it’s history-Slade still rocks and over the years I still haven’t changed- I still speak up- in fact-

I like to speak up…and I do it every chance I get.

 So in closing  here’s a pretty great song that Quiet Riot DIDN’T record.

Yay.

Enjoy.

Slade –

 Run Run Away

I like black and white (dreaming of black and white)
You like black and white
Run run away

[chorus]
See chameleon
Lying there in the sun
All things to everyone
Run run away

If you’re in the swing (money ain’t everything)
If you’re in the swing
Run run away

If you gotta crush (don’t beat about the bush)
When I gotta crush
Run run away

Oh now can’t you wait (love don’t come on a plate)
Oh now can’t you wait
Run run away

See there chameleon
Lying there in the sun
All things to everyone
Run run away

Run run away
Run run away
Run run away
