If it's Thursday, it must be a new hair color! At least for Tommy Joe Ratliff. I hadn't finished grooving on the violet 'do, now it's on to the blue. I guess everybody should rock out to wild hair color for their 31st B-Day (the 18th to be exact--he's a Libra/Libra Rising so, he's waaaay Libra!). Every color he's rocked, he's rocked to the ultimate ( Read more... )

To continue (and hopefully finish) my obsessive hair rant--pictures speak louder than words:

These days it's strange being an Adam Lambert fan. I'm still not loving Glambert's silver/platinum/white/grey/whatever-that-color-is hair, and I still can't get into the "new" band dynamics. Oh well, nothing I can do about it. I can, however, live in the past (which is pretty much where I live all the time anyway). So I decided I needed a little ( Read more... )

One of the best things in the world is fanvids (whatever the fandom happens to be), but some just sort of stand out from all the others. This is one of the best fanvids I've ever seen--out of ANY fandom! And achieving something original with Velvet Goldmine is rather difficult as there is only a limited amount of material to work with--that being a ( Read more... )

I know I already posted my main 9/11 Remembrance. But I felt like I should take the time to post a special separate entry for a local Colorado 9/11 hero. Jason Dahl from Ken-Caryl Ranch (a suburb of Denver) was the Pilot of Flight 93 that crashed in the Shanksville, PA field when the passengers chose to storm the cockpit and bring the plane down ( Read more... )

It's amazing--I literally cannot remember if I took my medicine this morning but, even after eleven years, I can remember September 11th, 2001 nearly moment by moment.

I knew, after awakening early to my radio, that something was dreadfully wrong--Dan Rather did not broadcast on my rock station, yet there he was, talking about the bombing of the WTC ( Read more... )

An otherwise great video that just happens to illustrate my Journal's previous Adam Lambert Rant. I can't figure out how something can be so good and yet so problematic at the same time.....

Before I begin my Rant, let me preface by saying that I love Adam Lambert. He is an amazing performer and truly one of the best vocalists I have ever heard--and I'm pretty damn picky. I also think his latest album, Trespassing, is one of the best albums I've heard since, well, his first album that came out in '09--although it's techno and not ( Read more... )

I haven't posted anything for umteen ages, but I finally decided it was time to open my yap a bit. Velvet Goldmine is still one of the best movies ever made, and is definitely in my Top 5. It's amazing how quickly time flies. I first saw it in 1999 and it's still just as glorious today as it was in the beginning. I know it's difficult to outdo the ( Read more... )

OMFG! Enjoy--while I go off to take a very cold shower....
