After drinking all day, this is Mike and Kohl singing their version of Dust on the bottle. Stay tuned for pictures of Chris tea bagging Mike.
Neither Ross or Bucka condone the acts against squishy hookers that Mike and Kohl portray in their song. No squishy hookers, kitty cats were harmed during the making of this video.
The Rolling Stones are postponing their upcoming concert in Vancouver. It has been rescheduled from Friday to November 25th. They have also postponed concerts in Oakland, and Los Angeles, as well as cancelling their concert in Honolulu. The postponements are the result of Mick Jagger taking four days off to recover from throat problems. Thank God he wasn't under the weather prior to the concerts in Regina.
my favourite music video of all time has to be 'call on me' by Eric Prydz, however a new video by called 'put your hands up for detroit' by fedde le grande is also very stimulating. below i have both videos, watch them and let me know which one you think is better.
call on me - Eric Prydz (kind of makes me want to go to the gym)
Keith Richards better not light up during concert in Regina
During their concert Friday night in Glasgow, the Rolling Stones guitarist apparently lit up a cigarette and was reported to the Glasgow city council by journalists. Richards could be fined up to £50 which is U.S.$95. Whatever will he do, his finances will be in chaos. I am all in favour of smoking bans in public places but that is getting ridiculous, not only would I not consider that stage a public place because only the band members are allowed on it, but I'm sure there were a lot of worse things being inhaled, and imbided by audience members. Hopefully when the stones are performing in Regina our government won't charge any band members for smoking in public, especially since Taylor Field isn't enclosed.
the rolling stones have announced another concert date for Regina on october 6th 2006. like last weeks ticket sales, this weeks were available in advance to stones fan club members, riders season ticket holders, and sponsors of the event. obviously those people that were angry the first go round that riders season ticket holders got preferential treatment will be angry again, and to them i say na na na na naaaaaa, my dad and i got a shit load of tickets and you didn't. HA HA HA HA.
get over it already, this is how the world works, every venue that has concerts offers advanced tickets to sponsors and season ticket holders, maybe not as many as eight(and in some cases more, HA HA) but tough luck, life isn't fare.
im not even going to use the excuse that rider fans deserve the tickets because they have supported the riders and taylor field for years and so on and so forth, we might deserve them, we might not but it doesn't matter because we got them anyways. see you at the show !!!
remember the single called everybody's free to wear sunscreen by baz luhrmann ? it was taken word for word from a speech written by mary schmich in 1997 and published in the chicago tribune as a column. it gives some very sage advice that everyone should follow, i don't know what made me think of this song today but i did and burnt it to a disk this morning, its not a tune you'd dance to or listen to everyday but its good none the less. below is the music video for the single from you tube and the lyrics printed below that.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99 If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience…I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you imagine.
Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you
Sing
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss
Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.
Get plenty of calcium.
Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. Enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own..
Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.
Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.
my dad got a hold of Jim Hopson, the President and CEO of the rider organization this afternoon (don't ask how he got a hold of him, i don't know) to find out if any more advanced tickets would be made available to season ticket holders. he was told that they are putting the pressure on ticket master or the promoter or whoever dictates how many tickets are sold in advance to make more available. all season ticket holders, action pack holders, and share holders were told that they would be able to purchase up to 8 tickets each if they so chose. it seems that promise was broken because after the advanced sales to fan club members yesterday there were only 300 tickets left for rider fans today. hopefully the riders pull it off because we just want some 'satisfaction'.
UPDATE I found a copy of the letter sent out to season ticket holders telling them about the opportunity to purchase tickets to the rolling stones concert. here it is.

the advance tickets for the upcoming stones concert in Regina sold out in less than an hour. the website to buy tickets on seemed completely inaccessable and the phone line was apparently of no help either. after the advance sales yesterday to american express card holders and fan club member there were apparently only 300 tickets left for rider season ticket holders, and share holders. hopefully they open up more tickets.
