Hey that's really cool. He used to gave a "grudge match" against Ray Stevens (I think) every month. They would beat the crap out of each other, curse, spit and hate each other. Then they became tag team partners. I was only 10 years old then and I thought it was "real". I'll be i...

I'm not really a fan of wrestling now, but in the early 60's I went to the Cow Palace a few times and watched it on Channel Two in San Francisco. Pat Patterson was a big "Star" on the West coast. Haystack Calhoun. Bob Backlund was best man at a good friends wedding. He said Backlund, from ...

I usually buy on-line and get pretty good tickets. I decided to buy Vegas tix at a ticketmaster and stand in line. I was the first in line and did not get that good seats (on side of stage at MGM U19). I'm not really complaining since at other places people are shut out. But in future I will stick w...

A partial list is myself (of course), the MAYOR, Coach Jimmy K with a young lady, old Stevo. We will be staying at the REMO but partying, among other...

I love Stern and his whole show. Yes, a lot of his humor is sophmoric, arrogant and sexist. So what! Howard Stern the entertainer is just that. His witt is right on and as far as what is on radio talk shows he is "King of all Media". Does anyone know if you need tix to get into his show at...

I really don't have anything to add except I'm glad others are as excited about VEGAS as I am. Leaving in 5 weeks and 6 days. Let's see, suntan lotion, Capt Morgans, money, more money, maybe a bottle of ParrotBay, a cooler, some insanity. What am I forgetting??? Oh yeah, my tickets... :wink:

LAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI JUKES with Greg "Fingers"

Last night on a cable channel I watched this interesting documentary about the Subway Lounge in Jackson Miss. It lasted about 2 hours and had many great local Miss blues players, one of which was Greg "Fingers" Taylor. Jackson is his home town and he played two songs and is featured during...

I will at least bring up the Jimmy gave the induction speech to the R&R HOF for his old friends the EAGLES. I believe that's as close as Jimmy will get to the this place. I'm sure that this Hall means more to fans of musicians than the musicians themselves. Personally I don't think Jimmy belongs...

For me a trip to Vegas is incomplete without at least one meal at FATTBURGER. Just a few steps away from MGM, they make great burgers. Sometimes In-N-Out is the best and sometimes FATTBURGER cant be beat. Vegas Fattburger is better than other ones i've been to.
