Back on topic, at this particular moment I'm listening to "Theme From Burnt Weeny Sandwich" by Frank Zappa on one of the Live365.com internet radio stations. What a find!

I don't know if it's available on DVD Glass. Just checked Amazon and they don't show it. Let me know if you find it, I'll have to add it to my collection. Oh, and right now I'm listening to White Punks on Dope by The Tubes. Man, this is a great station.

I remember long after The Tubes were past their prime, they played a local festival here called HarborFest. It draws maybe 5000 people per night on its 3 day run and they always have bands like them. Anyway, my in-laws own a deli and they run a food booth there every year and I usually help them out. This particular year a representative from The Tubes came up and requested a delivery of some food for the band. I volunteered to deliver it. I brought the stuff down and they had me wait in a trailer that joined the main trailer that served as their dressing room, the band was getting dressed for their performance.
Well, there was a small window in each of the trailers where you could see from one to the other so I took a peek and saw Fee Waybill (their lead singer) stuffing the biggest cucumber I've ever seen down his pants. I thought for sure his zipper was going to bust. I later saw them on stage and this thing was protruding like a mini zeppelin, it looked ridiculous. I thought about asking him about it later (they ordered more food) but thought better of it. I figure it was probably meant as a parody.

I'm listening to My Dying Bride's Wreckage of My Flesh song... lol yes I'm a metalhead...
Anyways as for Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire... you should check out Social Distortion's (Punk band) version of that song... great version (could only find the video of the live version and not their recorded version):

Both Abel, from Norway, and the French mathematician, Galois, died early on, about 28 each. They can be blamed for the development of "modern algebra". Would the four color problem and the last theorem of Fermat have been proved decades earlier had they lived longer? Maybe, who knows. What is certain is that the techniques that made solving them possible came from their work.

now that i live (literally) where the blues was born? i hear his music differently... the actual crossroads (of satanic gifts) is only a few miles up the hi-way that i live one block off of
Hey Joe. a couple others.. they are definitely right from the MS Delta
what amazes is how far the blues had to "go" for Jimi to learn them in Seattle, and Clapton and "the Jagger" and Led Zep to learn them "across the pond".

Every "artist" I ever knew that was successful, worked really really hard, many more hours than any 40 hour per week laborer at his occupation.
Musicians , due to over indulgence in the work they can't not do, often destroy their health at a very young age and end up trying to maintain the pace of life they have learned and their sanity via ingesting "stuff", which then speeds the natural progresses of life to its end too early.

I believe Kurt Cobain died at 28 as well...I can still remember hearing Nirvana "Smells like teen spirit" for the first time and just thinking WOW!!!

Several, IMAKEMONEY, from the early days of the Outlaw music movement in Austin, Billie Holliday's piano player, Jerome, in Alabama, to some that weren't musical.....I was characatured as superhero in a successful painter's cartoon strip....Peter the Hero was a friend before he was a Peter the Hero.....
And there are those that aren't generally thought of as artist by the general public. It's harder to know bout them being artist, because you almost must know their area as well as them sometimes to even know that what they do is art. But success comes to those that work damned hard at it, just like for the others.
