Rocktober Final Friday 2018 – COWBELL!
I had no idea this existed. H/T to Ace of Spades HQ –
A thing of beauty!
If this existed, I would buy it –
Christopher Walken very briefly mentions Cowbell, and talks about his other famous SNL skit –
If you are one of those extremely rare and broken people who has never seen the Cowbell skit, well, now you can.
Notice how even the cast members, including Walken himself and especially Jimmy Fallon, can’t keep from laughing.
Just watch –
WARNING! DO NOT CLICK UNLESS YOU ARE HARDCORE!
Friday Night Video – Rockytober
A scene from the movie Rocky II –
It’s an inspiring scene. A local guy is training hard to make something of himself, and his community encourages him all the way. Neighborhood kids see him running by and follow him, running with him, cheering him on and shouting “Go! Go! Go!” spurring him to push harder and make it to the finish. It might be a scene from a movie, but you could easily picture it happening for real.
How likely is any of that today?
These days, everyone would be telling him he’s wasting his time – assuming any of his neighbors even knew who he was – and the kids would point and laugh instead of joining in. And even if the kids did go with him, they would get in trouble for not staying in their own yard. Or get lost once they were more than two blocks away from home. Hell, when was the last time you even saw kids playing outside?
America needs some hometown heroes again.
To end things on a lighter note, here’s a few people keeping in that spirit –
Faketober Friday Night Videos – Smells Like TOTP Spirit
“Load up on drugs, kill your friends”
– Kurt Cobain, 1991Nirvana was set to perform their recent hit single, “Smells Like Teen Spirit” on the British music chart television program “Top of the Pops.” …What resulted was, and still is, one of the greatest middle fingers and live performances ever
Kurt doing his best(?) Morrissey impression. Kinda wonder what a Nirvana cover of the Smiths would have sounded like. Or vice versa.
Rocktober/Friday Night Videos: “…Let Slip The Pigs Of Jazz”
It’s that time of year again, Rocktober. And to celebrate, let’s have some…. not rock.
Andy Rehfeldt posts a rare video of Black Sabbath performing live –
The music rather suits the video, given the Mod outfits (especially Ozzy’s fashion disaster) and the stage set. Seriously, a big rainbow over your stage screams “Lounge” far more than it suggests “Metal.”
Andy has been at this for a long time, and a lot of his songs are improvements over the originals.There are also a few mashup in there that are fun.
