Alright guys! Recently, I've heard that the human race is doomed of stupidity (maybe you've heard from the Fun Corner on Brian May's website.) And you know what? I think it's true!! For those who haven't read it, here are some of his thoughts on why the human race will eventually drown in their own moronic ways:
1. The warning label on a Swedish chainsaw. Warning: Do not attempt to stop chain with hands or genitals. (Seriously, do they actually do this in Sweden? Wow....)
2. Printed on the bottom of a frozen TV dinner: Do not turn upside down.
3. On a child's Superman costume: The wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly.
4. On a K-mart hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping.
5. On Boots Childrens' cough syrup (recommended for ages 6 and under, most likely) Warning: do not drive or operate machinery after ingestion.
See what I mean? And that's not it! Crooks do stupid things all the time. Like, I heard about this one guy who wanted to frame someone else for assault or something like that. So, looking in the mirror, he carved the dude's name into his forehead with a knife. When he told the cops, they arrested him instead. Why? Because he had carved the name backwards!
So now it's your turn! Post a comment of dumb crooks, hilarious labels, or any stupid thing anyone you know has done. The best will make the follow-up entry. (Bwa ha ha, maybe now I'll get some readers. Just kidding, no one will read lol)
I stopped by Mountain Aire, this awesome in a crappy way record store, and you'll never guess what they had!! A Day at the Races on vinyl, mint condition. It really makes me wish I had a turntable, or else I would be jamming right now. And that's not all! Within the past month or so, they've had Live Killers, Jazz, and the Game, all on vinyl. So my dad and I have decided to frame them and hang them on the wall in our basement. We're going to go back to the store every now and then to see if we can find all the Crown Jewels. Man, those'll look great with his framed Velvet Underground Loaded signed by Lou Reed.
Okay, for any of my faithful readers (if any) that have listened to the entire Made in Heaven, how is it? I still don't have that one, and they're pretty hard to come by where I live. I've heard a few tracks, like Made in Heaven, Let me Live, Delilah, et cetera, but I want to get the full gist of it.
Hello, citizens of the interwebs.
Welcome to the first epic entry of what seems to be completely pointless. Although I'm pretty sure no one will read these, I'm making this just because I had a thought a a second ago. I was thinking: "Hey, why not make a blog just for the hell of it?" And then I came here.
Why here you may say? Because Queen is in a class of rock 'n' roll all by themselves. No one could reproduce their sound and talent, and believe me, I've seen some idiots try. Just the other day, I bought a tribute CD at Walmart. I don't remember the name of it, since I don't have it with me right now, but I listened to it, and instantly felt like I got jipped. It was terrible. They seemed unrehearsed and very mediocre. Which is why I'll probably end up never listening to it again and forgetting that I have it, which I think was its fate from the day they started work on it.
Since I wasn't even born when Freddie died in 1991, I never got the chance to see them in their prime years. But I did get the next best thing: Queen + Paul Rodgers, live in Jacksonville Florida, 2006. It was amazing! I literally stood the entire 2 hours and 45 minutes without sitting down. And I wasn't even tired after the show. I was in shock at how great it was. Brian is completely awesome, and one day I really want to meet him. I also want to try one of those Red Special Acoustics. Those things are SEXY! The electric guitar is awesome too!I've got a Mini-May, which is the travel-sized Red Special. As awesome as it is, there's no whammy bar and two pick-ups, and I don't even have a proper amp, just my sister's karaoke machine that hooks up two mics, a keyboard, and guitar, and it can record. We've laid down a few amataur versions of Crazy Little Thing Called Love and Driven By You. Anyway, the "amp" part of it has an outlet and volume control. And it sucks. The pickups are pretty basic, one for volume and one for tone. So we can't get that good, hard-rock sound from it. But you know what? The sound we get is perfect for CLTCL. So we're waiting until we can swing a good amplifier.
I believe that's all for now. Have fun contemplating whether or not to read my blurbs!
