Is it wrong that I'll watch Winter X GAMES 15 for a potential death???

Whitesnake??

2011-01-25T14:30:00.002-05:00

I've been stuck on Whitesnake for 5 days now.

If you were to make a list of Top 10 Singers in Rock, I think David Coverdale would have to be on that list.

Jimmy Page in 2010

2010-01-12T15:42:00.002-05:00

Jimmy Page says he's gonna make new music in 2010. But based on this quote, it seems like you're probably not gonna like it.

JIMMY PAGE PROMISING RADICAL MUSICAL STATEMENTS

Jimmy Page recently revealed he planned to write new music this year and now, according to ContactMusic.com, the Led Zeppelin guitarist is claiming that he will make radical statements with his upcoming album. Jimmy stated he thinks it’s important to make “musical statements” with his new material and promised to do something “ambitious” adding, “Musically, it will be a different picture in quite a radical frame, I hope.” No word yet on when the effort will come out. Read more at ContactMusic.com.

· The album will be Jimmy’s first solo record since 1988’s Outrider.

A "radical frame"??? What the hell are you talking about????? Either give me "Since I've been Loving You" Pt.2 or stay in your castle!!!!

Bob Marley should've had his own attorney!!

Phish is Back!!!

2009-03-08T09:55:00.000-04:00

I have never made any secret of my love of the band Phish. Back in the early 90's I heard Phish for the 1st time and it was one of those "my view on life changed with this music" moments. I just loved the jamming that was going on with this band. I got to see them May of 93 at the Tower Theater in Philly and my mind was blown by the musicianship.

Anyway...flash forward to 2004. Phish is the #1 touring band in the land, they're pretty much their own company, drugs are starting to ruin the musicianship, etc. So Phish called it quits in August of 04 by saying "we're done, Go Home!!"

5 years go by....Trey gets arrested for Heroin and perscription drugs, the rest of the guys are all doing their own thing. And it really seemed that PHISH was not going to happen again. But then something amazing happened. Trey was forced to sober up, they got together to just play, and lo and behold the magic was still there.

And that leads us to weekend of March 6,7,8,2009. Hampton Va.

Phish was getting back onstage together for the 1st time in 5 years. They have new management, a new attitude, and for the 1st time in a long time the DESIRE to want to be there.

To say that these shows turned out to be better than expected would be an understatement. From the opening notes of "Fluffhead" on the 1st night you could tell they were ready for Phish Version 3.0.

I've been listening to the shows all weekend. LIVEPHISH.COM offered up all 3 shows as FREE downloads. I just love what I am hearing coming out of these speakers considering the disappointment it could have been. I can't wait for the show in June in Camden.

If you don't like Phish. That's fine. I'm not forcing music on anybody. But I'm just happy that my favorite band is back and playing. Now excuse me while I get back to the music and "feel breezy"!!!!

Rock on

Tbone!

Alright...seriously.........

2009-03-08T09:52:00.000-04:00

I don't know why I can't get into the swing of doing one of these every day or so. I really need to step up to the plate and get on the stick. I never did the 5 things of 2008 that I mentioned in my last post. Now I don't even remember what they were. I promise (take that with a grain of salt) that I will do this more often.

Rock On!!

TBONE

Now Good??

2008-12-11T10:16:00.000-05:00

It's been about 6 months. Should I say something? Ummmm..How about the new ZXL website? It finally looks a little more manly. Before you could have sworn you were forwarded to the Hello Kitty homepage.

I had an idea. I'm going to flesh it out over the weekend. Monday through Friday of next week I'm going to countdown my Top 5 things of 2008. Some Rock, Some Life... just things that stood out to me this year.

So look for that and keep drinking. It's the only way to get through the holidays.

Rock On!!

TBONE

I'm Back!!!!!!

2008-08-28T18:24:00.000-04:00

I never really went anywhere I am just the laziest white man around. I actually just spent the last 2 hours trying to remember the password to get me in here. That's all I have for now. See you in 6 months!!!

What a Wonderful World!!!

Has It Been That Long?????

2008-04-28T11:01:00.000-04:00

Dec. 17th was the last post. I really gotta get back into the swing of things here. Maybe soon. I'm gonna go have a beer.

Upon further review........

2007-12-18T23:05:00.000-05:00

Scroll down a little and you see the setlist from the Zeppelin show. Sure, it looks good. But how did it sound?

Well, two sources(a.k.a. bootlegs) have popped up on the internet and no I'm sorry I won't get you a copy. Find a kid,they'll do it for you for a 6-pack of RED BULL.

Anyway, back to the show. I am amazed(not a word I use often) at how strong Robert Plant's voice sounds. Let's face it, he has sounded pretty weak lately. Namely the 2nd Plant/Page album, his solo offering last year, and his new one with Allison Krause. Not a bad album, by the way, but gave you no clue what he still had hidden in that golden throat of his. He still has it and proved it on "Whole Lotta Love" "Kashmir" "Song Remains the Same" "Since I've Been Loving You" "No Quarter". Lisitening to the tape I thought of Phil Rizzuto going"HOLY COW!!!!!!"

John Paul Jones did what he did best. Anchor the background and keep it going. What's really funny is that if you look on the cover of ROLLING STONE with Zep JPJ looks like he's 35 while the other 2 look like their 95.

Jimmy Page. He's a guitar legend he's not going into a big, no gigantic gig like this and not bring his "A" game. He brought the riffs, he brought the violin bow, he brought the effects, he brought everything. Clapton is God???? um........NO!!!!

And that leaves Jason Bonham. Not only did he have to fill in for one of the greatest drummers in rock history....HE ALSO HAD TO FILL IN FOR HIS DAD!!!!!!!! Granted his drumming had a style that was his own, but he absolutely held his own behind the drum set. They made a good call in not playing "MOBY DICK". That drum solo can be only played by one guy and he's currently playing in a band with JIMI HENDRIX and "DIMEBAG" DARRELL.

So to sum it up. I was very pleasantly surprised. And I've been listening to it every day. Once again I say.......GIVE ME A TOUR....at the very least play in PHILLY or A.C.(Borgata will pay you millions....just say YES!!!!!!!)

Thanks........and ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you just say "Happy Holidays"??????

2007-12-18T23:01:00.000-05:00

Twas the month before Christmas*
*When all through our land,*
*Not a Christian was praying*
*Nor taking a stand.*
*See the PC Police had taken away,*
*The reason for Christmas - no one could say.*
* The children were told by their schools not to sing,*
*About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.*
*It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say*
* December 25th is just a 'Holiday'.*
*Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit*
*Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!*
*CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod*
*Something was changing, something quite odd! *
*Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa*
*In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.*
*As Targets were hanging their trees upside down*
* At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.*
*At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears*
*You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.*
*Inclusive, sensitive, D i-ver-si-ty*
*Are words that were used to intimidate me.*
*Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen*
*On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!*
*At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter*
*To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.*
*And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith*
* Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace*
*The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded*
*The reason for the season, stopped before it started.*
*So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'*
*Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.*
*Choose your words carefully, choose what you say*
*Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS , not Happy Holiday!*

Ouch!!!!

I've never been one to buy into the whole "remastered" thing when it comes to music. Most of the time they just bump up the bass and treble and say it's "remastered". Dude, I can do that in my car. If you want my money get the master tapes and completely redo it. And that is exactly what Jimmy Page did on the "remastered" SONG REMAINS THE SAME SOUNDTRACK. This recording is phenomenal. Now included is all of the missing songs from the original. BLACK DOG, MISTY MTN. HOP, SINCE I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU, OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY, etc. But the songs that were there have been remixed to sound incredible. Wait till you hear Plant's vocals on NO QUARTER(that song always was the highlight of the soundtrack for me). Trust me when I say that this "remaster" is worth every penny. And since it's Christmas Time get it as a gift so it's someone else's penny. GO GET IT!!!!!!

Why Phish?

2007-11-07T11:41:00.000-05:00

This is why......

And why Dave w/ VH....this is why...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=jYgLaCjau40

Oh Come On!!!!

2007-11-06T11:43:00.000-05:00

From Sean Patrick's blog about the VH show:

Though I would have loved to hear Poundcake, When it's Love, Right Now, or Best of Both Worlds......

This is just rediculous. Everybody knows that DLR Van Halen is the only Van Halen. When Sammy showed up the word "catchy" went out the window. I'm tired of arguing about this but if you take the best Sammy/VH show you saw and put it up against the DLR/VH show you just saw. I think you know the winner.

I'll update in another month.....MAYBE SOONER!!!!!

The return Of The Blog and the Return of VH!!!!!!!

2007-10-04T15:39:00.000-04:00

Alright, I'm going to start focusing on this blog more. Here I have an outlet for my wacky thoughts, beliefs, ramblings, etc. and I ignore it. Well, no more!!!

VAN HALEN IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those keeping track, when I first started on ZXL back in 1995 I made no secret that I believed VH was Dave not Sammy. Most of you agreed. However there was the occasional douchebag listener whose whole purpose in life was to worship at the altar of Spammy. Eventually they just gave up and moved on. Good Riddance.

So time passes and Dave and VH are standing onstage at the VMAS. That reunion lasts one night. VH keeps putting out crappy albums. Dave puts out decent enough albums but nobody's buying. Time goes on and the likelihood of me seeing Dave and Eddie onstage are getting slimmer than Valerie Bertinelli's waistline on Jenny Craig.

It was then that fate intervened. Eddie and Spammy have a COMPLETE falling out. Michael Anthony gets caught up in the wake and goes to. DLR loses his radio job. Eddie goes into rehab. And then like manna from heaven the press release falls from the sky.....TOUR.....VAN HALEN....WITH DAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flash forward to Roctober 3rd. Wachovia Center 8:30pm. Lights go out.....Eddie makes his way to the stage...starts playing some random riffs....lasesrs....smoke....black curtain comes down....and there it is!!! DAVID LEE ROTH AND EDDIE TOGETHER AGAIN!!!!

Now you're thinking it can't be as good. Well, you'd be wrong!! Don't believe me? Here's the setlist:

01. You Really Got Me

02. I'm the One

03. Runnin' With the Devil

04. Romeo Delight

05. Somebody Get Me a Doctor

06. Beautiful Girls

07. Dance the Night Away

08. Atomic Punk

09. Everybody Wants Some

10. So This Is Love?

11. Mean Street

12. Pretty Woman

13. Drum Solo

14. Unchained

15. I'll Wait

16. And the Cradle Will Rock

17. Hot for Teacher

18. Little Dreamer

19. Little Guitars

20. Jamie's Cryin'

21. Ice Cream Man

22. Panama

23. Guitar Solo (incl. "Women in Love" intro, "Cathedral", "Eruption")

24. Ain't Talkin 'Bout Love

25. 1984

26. Jump

Not one questionable song in the bunch. Dave is still the perfect frotman for Eddie's playing. I walked away very happy!!!!!! The 20 year wait turned out to be worth it!!!

On a side note this is also the first concert since 1991 that I haven't had a number of beers to go with it. Not because I quit. Christ, i do that and my whole schtick is done. My career will be over. I'm the guy who drinks!!!

Anyway, last week I got a cold and it became so bad I had to go to the doctor and get some antibiotics and cough medicine with codeine in it so I could get to sleep. So I still have some of this medicine floating through me. So I offered to drive my buddies and not drink. Suprisingly I had just as good a time. Go Figure!!! I can pretty much guarantee it will never happen again.

I promise I will update this blog more often. Keep checking back.

Peace Out!!!

ROCK ON!!

TBONE ROCKS!!

Not enough complaints yet!!!!!

2007-08-09T13:34:00.000-04:00

In My EMAIL the other day:

Despite all of my nagging at Emily's party, you continue to ignore your blogsite. How are the millions of fans able to keep up with your doings??? We all had a good time at that party. Go Eagles.

Until the complaints reach a fever pitch. I'm not blogging.

Peace

Tbone!!!!!

I DO CARE!!!!!(you bastards)

2007-04-25T23:48:00.000-04:00

Granted, American Idol is a pretty cheesy show. Simon and his T shirt....Paula and her drug addicted ways....Randy never mentioning he played bass for Journey during that Raised on Radio phase(ooooooooooh.......chills)!!!

(I can't figure out how to get this font back to normal so this is what you get till the end!!!!)

Tonight, however, Idol did their show plus raise money for AFRICA...Katrina victims....poverty in general.

HEY I THINK I FIXED IT!!!

If you watched the show and saw the vignettes on all of the above you couldn't help but feel very very bad about the state of the world especially AFRICA. It's just very, very sad what's going on there(keep your Racist jokes to yourself!!!!).

So anyway, none of the contestants got kicked off tonight( I called that at the beginning of the show when Seacrest said "a SHOCKING VOTE!!!!")So some of the performances will be available on iTUNES and the cost will be donated to charity. Most of the performances were..........not worth the money. But Jeff Beck was onstage with Kelly Clarkson with a great blues tune. I'm willing to pay for that. It will probably be 1.99. I figured I did my part. Then Mrs. TBONE said something to the effect of...."Way to unloose those purstrings..Mr. Miser!!!!"

Then I went and found the website for donations and threw in $20.00. Tell me I don't care. That 20 dollars paid for malaria medicine for 5 children. I feel as good as when I went to the National Aquarium in Baltimore and bought ten acre of rainforest with each quarter I put in the machine there. ( I swear a Holiday Inn is on the way to that spot. Once I figure out exactly where that spot is. I'll have STING play the grand opening!!!)

Anyway, for those of you who think it's all about beer and rock in my world......well, it is. But every once in a while...I do care.

So Should You.

Rock On!!
TBONE

This is why I take "happy" pills!!!

3. Graphic television is on 24 hr. a day.

4. 33 People are dead at VIRGINIA TECH for just being in the wrong place at the wrong time!!!

5. Philadelphia is trying to take Detroit and Camden out of the top spot as #1 crime ridden city.

6. High school GIRLS are the #1 abuser of steroids!!!

The list can go on and on and on. I think I need to call my doctor and up the dosage!! I'm beginning to lose control!!!

2007-02-01T15:59:00.000-05:00

Today's "drunk driver shows up drunk for a DUI hearing" story comes from Brisbane, Australia, where a 54-year-old woman arrived at a courthouse so wasted, she registered a blood alcohol level more than five times the legal limit.Authorities say it was easy to spot the drunken woman arriving for her hearing -- she crashedher vehicle into a row of parked cars outside the courthouse. She was released on bail after being charged with a second DUI, but was jailed later in the day when she was caught driving under the influence for a third time.

Now I may drink alot, but I'm nowhere near that bad!!!!!

The Anchorage in Somers Point is going to reopen on Thursday!!!(Feb. 1) I'll be honest in saying that I'm a Charlie's guy when it comes to bars in Somers Point!! It's nothing personal to the Anchorage, it's just that I have had a lot of fun times at Charlie's. I'm just there more.

Kudos to owner Don Mahoney who promised to have it reopened ASAP. And even though he had to deal with contractors(hee, hee)..did just that. I just might show up Thursday night. It should be a pretty good party. And that's the name of the game in my world!!

Peace!!

AND PARTY ON!!!

I'm thinking about putting together a Top 15 list. But it's up to you the listener to vote. Let me know your three favorite Stones tunes.

Either respond to this blog or email me through WZXL.COM

And be honest...START ME UP should not be on your list. It's overplayed and done!!!!

Let me know...and tell your friends.

Ron "Tater Salad" White

2007-01-23T15:54:00.000-05:00

Since it's been a while since I blogged on a semi-regular basis, there are some stories I never got to.

Back in the fall I got tickets to see Ron White over at the Tropicana. Out of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour bunch he is without a doubt the funniest. Jeff Foxworthy, other that the "you might be a redneck" stuff...not funny. Bill Engvall......absolutely not funny. Even Larry the Cable Guy's act can feel stale after about a half hour.

Here's what I like in my comedians.

1) Sarcasm...and the more of it the better.

2)a feeling that it's the two of us sitting around and telling funny stories.

3) No "what's the deal with airline peanuts jokes"!!!! Be creative. I paid good money for this.

If you've never seen Ron White's act. You must be living in a cave. Comedy central pretty much puts it on and hits the repeat button once a month.

Ron has all three of the above categories taken care of. And as an added bonus he appaers to be drunk. Which adds a certain class to the festivities. I used to think the"drinking" was an act, but he is starting to really get that "i Drink Too Much look".

The whole show was good. One of the highlights was that there were these two seats right in the middle....empty. It's a sold out show. So about 30 minutes into it. Two people come in and guess where there seats are? Yep, those two seats. Now i don't know about you. But if I had those seats for a comedy show I would not show up late. You're going to be ridiculed. Sure enough they head for the seats. Ron stops what he was talking about......says"Oh! Hey ! Glad you could make it!! Is the anything I can get you?...........LIKE A FUCKING WATCH!!!!" Bang!!! The whole crowd erupts.

Anyway, if you haven't seen his act find one of his DVDs. Sit back and get ready to laugh. I promise you won't be dissappointed.

PEACE!!!

2007-01-18T17:36:00.000-05:00

Alright. You can stop with all the e-mails about how I never blog. I promise starting now, and every day there will be something new here. This however is no guarantee...I've said the same thing before.

First topic.....

Dec. 30th I saw the greatest show I have seen in a very long time. Trey Anastasio at the HOUSE OF BLUES. Just a little history. In 1993 I saw a band at the Tower Theater in Philly. That band changed the way i listened to music for the rest of my life. I realized songs don't need to be be packaged in 4 minute bursts. It's OK to let them be free and open and go wherever the music takes it. Sure the Allman Brothers and the Grateful Dead figured that out a long time ago. But this band did it different, some might argue..better. That band was PHISH. I was amazed at this band and quickly embraced it as the greatest music i ever heard. So I saw them twice in 1993 once again in 1995 at the Spectrum. Phish had a huge following that followed them from town to town, but I had neither the resources nor the money to pull that off. I also didn't know anyone to trade tapes with(like the Dead, Phish would allow recording at their shows).

So as the 90's went by my interest in PHISH started to wane. Mainly because I was out of the loop as to what they were up to live. I moved on to Blues Traveler and claimed they were the greatest band in the land. I stuck with that belief for a while. Then around 2001-2002 Hi-speed internet started to come into its' own. Which made downloading music a lot less tedious and time consuming and lo and behold i come across all of these Phish shows. I download a show just to see what I missed out on.....AND MY HEAD EXLPLODED!!! Not only did I miss out...I missed out on the peak of this bands' career. So I turn into this downloading junkie trying to get hold of as many shows as possible.

Flash forward to 2006. Phish has called it quits 2 years before because they knew it just wasn't as good as it was before so why tarnish a great legacy(I can respect that). But I haven't seen them live since 1995 and I'm an addict now!!! Lucky for me Trey is out on the road and coming to A.C.!!!!

My sister in law works at the HOB and gets me primo seats in the balcony front row dead center. Trey comes out on stage starts plaing his guitar and I am once again smiling in enjoyment at a concert. The music is loose, danceable, and just plain fun. Second song of the night was one of my favorite PHISH tunes("STASH") and I almost lose it with happiness. The whole show goes like this and I had a great time.

Sure enough two days later, on the Internet, The show has been posted by one of the tapers!!!

I've never hidden my love for the jam. Some people get it others don't. That's cool. To each his own.

I promise I'll try to write something every day. Maybe nest time I'll talk about how RON WHITE is the funniest comedian on the face of the EARTH.

Til next time!!!

PEACE!!!!

GET OFF MY BACK!!!!!!!

2006-12-19T15:48:00.000-05:00

I know!!!!! I have been very lazy with this blogging stuff. I promise this will change starting soon. As a matter of fact I'll come up with my top ten music picks of 2006 starting on Monday. I need to come up with the list. Stay tuned!!!

SCREW YOU MISTER@!!!!@!!!!!!

2006-08-09T22:22:00.000-04:00

This is for the Hummer that almost ran me over in the WAWA parking lot today and then parked diagonally in a spot.

F*** YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You think with your big car you can just muscle your way through life. Let's face it. You own a Hummer because you are an A**hole!!!

One day this is going to bite you in the ass. And I hope I'm there to see it when you trade in that thing for a CIVIC. Then I'll run you over with my INTREPID.

Good Day!!

THE DEFINITION OF IRONIC

CAN COORS EXPECT "LIGHT" SENTENCE FOR DUI ARREST?

One could only guess what PETER COORS was drinking when he attended a friend's wedding reception six weeks ago. What is known is that the man whose beer company bears his name was busted May 29th for driving while under the influence. After leaving the wedding, a cop met up with Coors as the beer executive pulled his Jaguar into the driveway of his Golden, Colorado home. It seems that Coors ran a stop sign about a block away. Tests put Coors' blood/alcohol content at .088, just over the legal limit. He was cited for DUI and has been driving on a provisional license while he awaits arraignment scheduled for July 20th. In a statement released by the brewer, Coors apologized for his behavior and stressed that responsible use of alcohol remains his company's message. Coors, whose company became Molson Coors Brewing Co. last year, lost a close election for the U.S. Senate to Democrat KEN SALAZAR in 2004.

Am I Old? UMMMM..........

2006-05-29T21:35:00.000-04:00

Dear God, I'm feeling old.

There I am in Sea Isle City on Saturday with the Rock n Roll patrol at Lacosta Lounge. We're at the outside deck area. Dr. bobby Fingers is playing. There isn't a song this guy doesn't know. Go see him when you get a chance.

So anyway I'm looking out and all I can see are drunk 21,22,23 year olds as far as the eye can see. Literally everywhere you turn somebody's drunk. And acting like a complete JACKASS!!

I watched a girl have a beer on the deck, walk to the pizza place(more like stumble) next door, have a slice, and then......throw up on the steps out front....AND NOT FROM THE PIZZA. She actually found it to be kind of amusing. Her boyfriend wiped off her face( he didn't do it for love....he did for the kinky action he'll be up to later because she's not gonna remember!!)..and she walked on her way. Off to the next beer.

I watched another guy just stumble his way through the crowd. No"excuse me"..no "coming through!"... it was almost like he couldn't wait to see where the fight was going to be that he started.

Now don't get me wrong. I am certainly not on a high horse. When I was in my 20's I was drunk PLENTY!!! And I'm sure I made a jackass out of myself PLENTY!!!! But here I am in my mid 30's. Wife, 2 kids, house, bills, cars, etc. ...and i just can't imagine going through life that way.

It's just that whole age thing that hits you every once in a while. But then I go home, see how everything has fallen into place, and then it's not about being old, it's just...........right.

C YA

TBONE!!

2006-05-24T22:33:00.000-04:00

WOW!!!!!

America finally got it right!!!

At least Taylor has paid his dues in bars and honky tonks.

Congrats Taylor!!

SOUL PATROL!!!!

Back from the Islands

2006-05-15T15:16:00.000-04:00

Alright, I came back. A week in OBX is just what the doctor ordered.

Some quick notes:

1)There were no fish to be found anywhere. I only mildly enjoy fishing, but if there is nothing to catch...I'm out!!

2)A 2 year old wants to fly a Mickey Mouse kite....until Mickey is in the air and about to go up 500 ft. then it's more like screaming and crying..."GET HIM DOWN GET HIM DOWN!!!!!!!"

3)I went get on a ferry one day and this employee asks what part of Jersey I was from he proceeds to tell me that he moved from the Cape May/Wildwood area......Just admit you're from the Villas!!!!!! It's O.K....you got out!!!

4)I got a free beer at Bubbas Bar b Que....probably because my father and I were pretty much the only people there(it is still the offseason there) and we ordered about $50 worth of fried chicken and pork spareribs. Good Food!!!

Anyway...it's good to be back. Can't wait for the Ultimate garage party.

Rock on!!!!!!!

Wish you were here

2006-05-06T22:03:00.000-04:00

The Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Maybe I'll come back.

Rock on!!

How did my life wind up this way/????

2006-04-21T11:04:00.000-04:00

The 16 year old girl and her mother next door made this and sent it over. For some reason I feel kind of dirty!!

But it's a damn good cake!!!!!!!!

I think I'll go to the bar....

2006-04-15T00:24:00.000-04:00

AND HAVE A SMOKE!!!

OOOOOHHHHHH!!!!

Not anymore.

Don't get me wrong. I do sympathize with you smokers. I smoked for 12 years and then just up and quit 2 years ago. Not because of health reasons....not because of a growing family(alright....sort of)...but because it became two f***kin expensive. $5 a day...$10 on sat. and sun. became outrageous. So I quit. No patches...No pills...No acupuncture...etc...

I understand smoking and drinkin go together like motorcycles and bikinis......Dean and Martin......Jack and Coke....But don't stop going to your favorite bar just because you can't have a smoke. You're need to do it will pass. You can always go home and puff away all night long............FOR NOW!!!!!!!!!

HELP!!!

2006-03-28T15:24:00.000-05:00

ALLERGRA!!!!

MY KINGDOM FOR A PERSCRIPTION OF ALLEGRA!!!!

They are saying(they, as in people who know these things), because we had such a warm wet winter allergy season is going to be killer. I am ready to go on record in saying that if the first week of Spring is any indication, I'm in big trouble this year.

Runny nose and non-stop sneezing is really slowing me down. As a matter of fact I'm beginning to rethink this whole moving out of EHT thing. Maybe they're on to something taking down all the trees. Maybe we should just take down all trees, bushese, plants, etc....blacktop everything, and then we will all breathe easier.

People who don't have allergy problems can't relate to how miserable it is. When I was a kid my allergies were so bad I was at the doctor 3 times a week getting all sorts of shots, inhalers, etc....IT WAS BRUTAL!!

The strange thing is, in my 20's at they heyday of my drinking and smoking, my allergies all but disappeared. Then two years ago I stopped the smoking altogether. People cheered"HOORAY!!"...but ever since then my allergies have returned. Maybe I should get a box of Marlboro Lights on the way home.....Scratch that it's almost $6 a box now.

If you have allergies good luck to you this spring. Go to the doc and get as much help as possible. If you don't have allergy problems......SCREW YOU!!!!

AND AS ALWAYS REMEMBER

THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES.

PEACE!!!!

NOW THAT'S FUNNY

Saturday Night

2006-03-11T23:33:00.000-05:00

I'm sitting here watching Iron Chef America and the secret ingredient this week is American Kobe Beef.

1) There has to be a million dollars worth of beef on this show/

2)They call me TBONE....why can't I be a judge on this show.

3)They're killing it with ....mushrooms,onions,...etc.

4)I'd be afraid of KOBE......you don't have a chance to say NO!!!!!

C YA!!!!!!

By the way....

CAPEMAYROX says....

THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES!!

Apparantly it's a KMFDM song(they're a band)

I got it off a TSHIRT.

J.F.K. is one of the best movies ever.....it's also on right now.

BYE!!!

A THOUGHT

2006-03-10T11:31:00.000-05:00

Remember......

Wherever you go....

that's where you are.

ON AN ISLAND...literally and figuratively...

2006-03-03T15:29:00.000-05:00

It's pretty lonely when you're sick and you have to keep everyone away because you don't want it to spread through the household. The last thing you need is your 2 year old and 6 month old to get sick. That just leads to long nights and days.

So, I'm cooped up in this room but I need some music on or I'm going to go stir crazy. Friday afternoon TV is pretty desolate. Hey, look, it's the new David Gilmour record, "ON AN ISLAND". It's one of the perks of the business, I hear things before they're in stores (p.s....it's in stores on March 7th).

So a quick review.....

The album opens up with a nice instrumental a la the opening of the Momentary Lapse of Reason album. Dave still has that perfect sound to his guitar.

We segue into "On an Island" a song we've been playing for about a month now. Dave throws down a solo halfway through that stands up there with the Comfortably Numb solo. And yes, that's David Crosby and Grahm Nash singing background vocal.

Now onto "The Blue". Very mellow..but not in a bad way. It almost sounds like it could come off the "MEDDLE" album. So far, so good for this album.

OHHHHHH....I spoke to soon!!!

"Take a Breath" is Gilmour shot at a hard rock tune. Just doesn't work. Stick with what got you to the game Dave...keep us floating on a sea of clouds.

Next up is "RED SKY AT NIGHT". According to the credits that's David playing the saxophone here. Not bad. Insrumental. Sound like one of those black and white potboiler movies."the dame walked into my office and I knew her name must be trouble...."

"This Heaven".......far from it....acoustic shuffle....Yeah, no.

"Then I close my Eyes".....We start off with the ocean and a banjo. I like it so far...There we go know we're back in "floating on air" land. This one works.

"Smile"...Mellow acoustic...sounds like Dave is sitting on a front porch just him, a guitar, and a microphone......and then they overdubbed electric guitar, strings, etc. Still good.

"A Pocketful of Stones"...Sounds like an outtake from the Division Bell album. Kind of long...not good but not bad. Nice solo toward the end.

"Where we start"...another 6 min+ tune. "where we start/is where we end"...drop some acid and that's pretty deep. Not a terrible song to end the album. More of a climax would have worked for me.

So there you have it 7 out of 10. I guess that means thumbs up.

I'm going to go back to my "island" now. Theraflu and music what a way to spend a Friday.

Talk to ya soon!!

TBONE

E.O.F.(EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FUNNY)

2006-02-22T15:17:00.000-05:00

I came across the first blonde MALE joke...I thought it was kind of funny.

An irishman,a mexican, and a blonde guy were doing construction work on scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building.

They were eating lunch and the irishman said,"Corned beef and cabbage!! If get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch, I'm going to jump off this building."

The Mexican opened his lunchbox and exclaimed," Burritos again!! If I get burritos one more time I'm going to jump off too."

The blonde opened his lunchand said," Bologna again!! If I get a bolgna sandwich one more time,I'm jumping too."

The next day the Irishman opened his lunch box, saw corned beef and cabbage, and jumped to his death.

The Mexican saw a burrito, he jumped too.

The Blonde guy opened his lunch, saw the bologna and jumped to his death as well.

At the funeral, the Irishman's wife was weeping. She said" If I had known how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage, I never would have given it to him again."

The Mexican's wife also wept and said, "I could have given him tacos or enchillladas. I didn't realize he hated burritos so much!!"

(oh this is good!!!!)

Everyone turned and stared at the blonde's wife. The blonde's wife said," Don't look at me. He makes his own lunch!!!!"

TH-TH-TH-TH-TH-THAT'S ALL FOLKS!!

Another Jaded View!!!!

2006-02-14T11:33:00.000-05:00

Let's face it.. Sports is all about disaster. That's why we watch.. from the early days of WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS where the ski jumper never made it off the ramp...to Joe Theisman's leg snapping in half....to that russian female ice skater who got planted on her face...it's all about the disaster.

It doesn't even have to be a physical disaster. It could be a mental thing. Chris Webber calling a timeout without any to call(OHHHH....THERE GOES THE NATIONAL TITLE!!!).....the Chicago Cubs blowing it(ohhhhhh....there goes our trip to the World Series!!!!)....etc.

Writing this came to mind as I'm watching the Olympics here. Since I don't know anything about half of these "sports" I'm just looking for someone to make a big enough mistake that even the announcers go ......ohhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

Just like a car crash.....just like the words GUILTY AS CHARGED....we would rather see it go wrong than right. It makes for a better story.because the fish wasn't this big....it was THIS BIG!!!!!!

Peace.

and don't forget...

"THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES!!!

It's all about class!!!!!

2006-02-05T23:02:00.000-05:00

Alright, so I was rooting for the SEAHAWKS. I'm an NFC guy and, hey, There is only one working class team in PA. and it's not the STEELERS. Don't argue with me, christ, the Gov. of PA roots for the EAGLES so much so that he does the post game show on COMCAST SPORTSNET.

That being said I am currently disgusted with what happened at the end of the game. Where was Mike Holmgren for the handshake. He left Bill Cowher standing in the middle of the field looking like a jackass. Sure he normally looks like a jackass, but this was different. Seattle has to admit they were completely outplayed in the second half. Go shake the guy's hand and admit defeat.

What's worse is that the ABC cameras were all over this but no announcer said anything about it. Not Madden...Not Michaels....not Berman....not anybody!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am irate over this.maybe an answer is forthcoming but for now....MIKE HOLMGREN IS A D**K!!!!!And I was rooting for Seattle!!!!!!

Congrats PITTSBURGH....WELL PLAYED.

Rock On!!!!!

THIS JUST IN!!!!

2006-01-25T10:53:00.000-05:00

NUMER 4 HAS BEEN CAPTURED AND DISPOSED OF.

"KILL 'EM ALL!!!"

2006-01-23T16:30:00.000-05:00

I don't live in filth.

I've been in houses that would be considered "living in filth" and trust me, I'm nowhere near that. Then why, oh why, do I have a mouse problem in every house I move into????!!!!

My first house was a townhouse in EHT. Things were great in that place until I was watching TV one night and I heard some noise coming from the kitchen. Sure enough there's a mouse rummaging around. SON OF A BITCH!!! Look, I'll be the first to say that I don't like rodents, I don't want to touch rodents, stay away from me and I'll stay away from you.

So I now need to go into hunter mode and for two days I try to trap this mouse. Finally he gets caught in a glue trap. The kind that is more of a tent. He's stuck inside this thing with his head sticking out. All I know is that HE MUST DIE!!! I have one of those big tupperware tubs nearby. The kind you use for storage. It's full and heavy. So I take this thing lift it up above my head.......right before this thing lands on "Mickey" I hear a little squeal....too late....one less mouse. I thought that would be it but nope.....apparantly he had an accomplice. I never got hold of him. I sold the house two months later. I wonder if the new owner ever got that bastard.

So now I'm living in the new house and one night I'm watching TV and guess what I hear? Yep.....ANOTHER FU***NG MOUSE!!!!!!! I immediately got out to the store....glue traps, snap traps, d-con...I got it all!! It took two days but he wound up in a glue trap overnight and died a slow, painful death.. What a waste...If he had only stayed out.....

So flash forward to this past weekend... I find mouse poop in the silverware drawer. For thoses who don't know, mouse poop looks like chocalate"jimmies" you put on a cake. HERE WE GO AGAIN!! I clear out the drawer and put a glue trap in it with a dab of peanut butter in the middle (oh, it works). About 6 hours later there he is trapped and looking to die. That takes care of that. I put another trap there just in case......good thing I did.....three hours later we have another mouse!!!!! JESUS F'N CHRIST!!!!!! So I get rid of him and put another trap there and this morning I come downstairs and look in the drawer...guess what....YEP!!!!MOUSE NUMBER 3!!!!!!! What the hell is going on?????

Here's my theory......

Behind my house are some trees and bushes, on the other side of that brush is a toll booth, or was a toll booth it's been taken down. The highway(parkway) has also been broken up. In this moving of the Earth the mice were sent scurrying and wound up at my house.

Last I heard a fourth mouse had not been seen, trapped, witnessed, etc.

Good Thing!!

I SEND THIS OUT TO THE REST OF THE MOUSE COMMUNITY:

THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES!!!!!!

GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

I'm making money with this toll booth change!!!!

2006-01-10T20:54:00.000-05:00

Alright, so I live in Seaville. Great town. Now, I work in West Atlantic City. It's a half hour drive to work. Obviously, I'm taking the Parkway. I leave my house, go up to Marmora(via rte. 9), get on the parkway there, go up to Exit 36 then take the Black Horse Pike to work. One toll, right at Somers Point. Used to be the same route home but now with the toll booth change things have changed.

If you live in a cave I'll fill you in. Depending on which toll booth you're at depends on whether you have to stop and pay as most toll booths on the Parkway are transitioning to one way tolls(70 cents at one time instead of 35 cents twice).

So anyway, going to work I now only pay 70 cents at the Somers Point area toll on the way home. I would always get off at the Marmora exit because I wasn't going to pay for the toll by Sea Isle. Now however Southbound at that Sea Isle toll is free. Now I can continue to zip down the Parkway get off at the Sea Isle exit and drive 2 miles to Seaville on Rte. 9 and I'm home.

How am I making money? Well, of course, it's figuratively. Because I'll never drive down to the Sea Isle on ramp to go TO work I'll never pay the Northbound 70 cent toll. But, I'll always pass through going south and it won't cost me!!!!

I LOVE BEING CHEAP!!!!!

ROCK ON!!!

THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES!!!

'NUFF SAID!!

2006-01-04T16:26:00.000-05:00

The Velvet Revolver show SUCKED....and here's why!!!

2006-01-03T14:47:00.000-05:00

Happy New Year everybody. I guess it's time I get back to updating this "blog" thing more often. And what a topic to start with.

Alright, so it's December 30th, my birthday begins at midnight, so I'm ready to get fired up at a quality rock show. I get to Borgata with some time to spare so I sit down at a slot machine. Literally 2 SPINS LATER I'm up 40 bucks. Sweet...my beers are now paid for. Cash Out!!!! The old guy next to me must have been pissed. Win and gone...that's how I roll!!!

So then I head up to the show. It's all been established ahead of time. NO OPENING ACT AND SHOWTIME IS 8 PM. Being that this is a concert it's a given that 8:15 or so is when the show will start. 8:15 comes and goes.....8:30 comes and goes.....8:45 comes and goes 9:00....9:10.....9:15.....9:20.....you've got to be f'n kidding me........9:30.....9:45 the lights go down. An hour and 45 minutes from the advertised showtime!!!!! I half expected AXL ROSE to show up.

So VR starts to play and it's just loud. Scott Weiland's voice is getting lost in the mix(not to mention he's dressed like the gay biker grom the village people), Slash just appears to be noodling away, overall a very shaky start.

Here's the real problem. Velvet Revolver was a great band on paper. Take one part S.T.P. and three parts GNR put them together and it's rock and roll heaven, right???WRONG!!! While "Fall to Pieces" and "Slither" are good songs the rest of the CONTRABAND album is filled with songs that may "rock" but are not catchy in any way. That does not translate well in a live setting. All you had to do was look around at the crowd. All the band was getting was the courtesy clap at the beginning and end of the song with blank stares in the middle. The only time the level got above tepid was when they broke out a GNR or STP song."It's So Easy""MR. Brownstone""Sex Type Thing" all got a bit of a frenzy going but then it's back to a CONTRABAND song and the energy would take a nosedive.

So, and hour and 15 minutes go by and guess what .....it's over!!!(not that I was all that upset). But I didn't pay for my ticket!!! At $100 a pop I would have wanted more....lots more!!!!

So overall on a scale of 1 to 10......it's only a 1...I really was that dissapointed.

Ohwell, here's to better concerts in 2006!!!

Rock On!!

and remember:

THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES!!!!

HOLIDAYS AND THE JOY WITHIN

2005-12-22T22:00:00.000-05:00

"It's the most wonderful time of the year...."

At least that's how the song goes. Reality seems to prove otherwise. High credit card bills....high gas bills...crowded malls...fighting relatives...oh yeah, it's joyous alright!!!

Don't get me wrong. I dig Christmas as much as the next person, Hell, you get those crazy puppet shows on T.V.(Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, Mr. Heat Miser, etc....). I just don't get the feeling of anger in the air. People are pushing and shoving their way through the stores. What they don't realize is it's their fault they are shopping on Christmas Eve. Buy one gift a month all year and guess what....YOU"RE DONE!!!!

And then you have that relative....You know what I'm talking about.

Here's the conversation:

"I can't wait to see you Aunt Betty"

"Well, the only way you're going to see me is if you come to me. You know I have a fear of bridges!!!!"

Gee, you have no problem coming down in the Summer to stay and go to the beach and go to the boardwalk I guess winter time at the Jersey shore is synonymous with Siberia. That's alright your fruitcake sucks anyway!!!!

You know who's the biggest fan of this time of the year??

Annheiser Busch.

Drink up!!!!! Self medication is the way to go.

Merry Christmas everybody!!!

We'll discuss New Year next time.

and remember:

THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES

Good Luck My Ass!!!!!

2005-12-19T14:55:00.000-05:00

They say that getting hit by bird sh-- is good luck.

15 seconds later I found out.

Taking Daddy Down A Notch

2005-12-14T15:36:00.000-05:00

Ok, so I'm the father of two. A two year old and a 3 month old. Greatest thing i've ever done. And I never thought I'd be saying that. I'm a pretty selfish guy and the thought of kids seemed like a hinderance and not a lot of fun. Boy was I wrong. Sure, they'll turn your life upside down at the drop of a hat. But, it's the daily challenge that is the spice of life.

So, my two year old is at the age where she'll reapeat anything she hears. But that means you can pretty much put words in her mouth and make her say what you want her to say

EXAMPLE:

I taught her to finish this...

DADDY: "I'm going to take you down......l"

DAUGHTER: "to Chinatown!!!!!"

2 years old and she's taking people down to CHINATOWN!!! Now that's funny!!!

Apparently while I'm at work here my wife has gotten in on this game.

EXAMPLE:

MRS TBONE: "Who's the queen?"

DAUGHTER:"MOMMY!!!"

MRS TBONE: "Who's the princess?"

DAUGHTER: "ME!!!!"

MRS TBONE: "Who's the jester?"

DAUGHTER: "DADDY!!!!!!"

Now our BIKE BASH party is tonight and there will be plenty of people who come up and say "Hey TBONE nice to meet you........ I get stoned with you everyday......I've been listening to you for 10 years....etc, etc.....". I would be lying if I said that it didn't go to my head just a little. After all this is why I got in this silly business of radio. I want whoever's listening day to go by a little better and for people to say "I KNOW THAT GUY, HE"S ON THE RADIO!!".

But then I'll come home and I'm just Daddy or even the Jester. And that is just as satisfying.

Maybe I'll see you at the BIKE BASH PARTY.

Until next time

THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES

Genesis 4:20

2005-12-13T15:28:00.000-05:00

So the suits upstairs said to me the other day:

"Hey, Tbone, you're going to start blogging on the website!!"

I looked into this guy's face and I knew he had no idea what he was talking about. It was just another attempt at appearing to be cool and hip when the reality is all this guy deals with is numbers...If you ever saw the NBC show "THE OFFICE", everything outside of an air studio is like that....incompetence mixed with a belief that a tie will get you the respect you deserve.

Thank God I chose the air studio option!!! It's made life a lot more fun.

So, anyway, here we are...LET'S BLOG!!!!

I titled this thing GENESIS 4:20 because it's the first chapter of the Tbone story. No, I don't have a God complex(although some people around here would beg to differ), I just thought it was funny. I'll try to post new thoughts and stuff everyday but, as is always the case with me, I'll probably do 5 days in a row then take a month off . Hey,typing is exhausting work.

I have to say "HI" to Ed and Sue String out of North Cape May. They wrapped up a 30 pack of Miller Lite and dropped it off to the station as a Christmas present for me. Now that's listener loyalty!!!! Let's face it, being married and a father of two, picking up chicks isn't going to be an option....but FREE BEER is always good!!!!!!!

Also, getting ready for BIKE BASH 2005 at the HARD ROCK CAFE at the TAJ MAHAL Wednesday night. ZXL parties are always a good time. We have the most loyal listeners in South Jersey and love it when we invite them out of their house, provide the liquor, the band, and this year TWO HARLEY DAVIDSONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONE WINNER>>>TWO BIKES!!!!.... SWEET(as said like that redneck in those Dodge commercials(("That thing got a hemi? Sweet!!!))

Alright, that's all I got for now. I promise it will get better as time goes by. You'll get to know more about me and my simple life then I ever let anybody know.

And Remember,

"THE BEATING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES"
