Queensryche

an intelligent progressive heavy metal band from Seattle. They released their first album in 1983 and has always stood out from other heavy metal bands in the 80s and beyond. They released the concept album "Operation Mindcrime" in 1988, earning the respect of fans and critics alike. Singer/keyboardist Geoff Tate has a stunning voice often described as "operatic". All of their albums range from good to great. Check out "Operation: Mindcrime", "Empire", "Tribe" and "The Art of Live".

I saw Queensryche at a club near a university 2 years ago and they are dynamic performers. Queensryche, who are inspired by Pink Floyd and Rush and other bands, are often referred to as the "thinking man's heavy metal band". Check them out live.

Guitar God

AKA "Guitar Hero". A guitarist known for extraordinary skill, flash, style and influence. Usually this applies to rock'n'roll guitarists but not exclusively.

1. Chet Adkins is labeled as a country guitarist but he's delved into more genres than that. I saw him once on PBS where he performed TWO patriotic songs on his acoustic guitar - one song played on the strings near the sound hole, and the other tune on the neck. The 2 songs were being played at the same time! Chet looks like a guitar god to me.

2. When Dire Straits guitarist Mark Knopfler won an MTV Guitarist of the Year award he was amazed and surprized, saying that he never considered himself to be a "guitar god". He later made an album with Chet Adkins.

3. I have seen many bands in concert that have influential guitarists. Some of the guitar gods I have seen are:
Eddie Van Halen,
Stevie Ray Vaughn,
The Edge (U2),
Steaming Steve Clark (Def Leppard),
Rick Neilsen (Cheap Trick),
Alex Lifeson (Rush),
Johnny Ramone,
Vernon Reid (Living Colour),
Dave Gilmour (Pink Floyd),
Keith Richards (Rolling Stones),
Dick Dale and more.

4. Other people who fall under the rank of "guitar god" include Jeff Healey, Eric Clapton, Dimebag Darryl Abbot, George Harrison, George Benson, Neil Schon (Journey), Steve Jones (Sex Pistols), Andy Taylor (Duran Duran), Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Angus Young (AC/DC), B.B. King, Bo Diddley, Robert Johnson, Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Pete Townshend, Dave Davies (Kinks), and of course LBNL the late great Jimi Hendrix.

wanking for a spanking

1. It's a very sad and sorry situation, scenario and practice by some realty sick boys. Ninny boys who are into S & M are jacking off while reading those 'mash notes' from their dominator bitches and get turned on while thinking about the 'discipline' they'll get next time they meet their favorite whore, they are wanking while thinking about the spankings they are gonna get.

2. When somebody is being a glutton for punishment. Kind of like 'cruising for a bruising'. ASKING for trouble.

1. Donald Treason tRump has shown the world in so many ways what an SMF he is. He talks incestuous lust about his daughter and there are pictures of the two together that would make a dog upchuck. He rapes, and has been convicted of it. He talks pervert trash ('the younger, the better'). He brags about 'grabbing em by the pussy'. He is an egotistical Caligula by every definition and description of that grossly deviant Roman emperor. And the stripper whore Stormy Daniels spilled the beans on '60 Minutes' about swatting his ass. il Douche Donald is a spankee boy. Shiiiiiiii-yiiiiiiiiitttttt, he's wanking for a spanking! DAMN!!!

2. Jeffrey is reading those stupid BDSM books and watching that Rihanna video again, he's wanking for a spanking!

3. Rikki is being a spoiled diva prima donna again. She's just wanking for a spanking to put her in her place! She's a big disgrace.

goosestep

a type of marching that evolves high kicking up as you step forward. It first appeared in the 19th century Prussian military. Later it became associated with the Nazi regime lead by Adolph Hitler in Germany. This mode of marching was soon adopted by the military institutions of other fascist regimes like the Falangist dictatorship of Francisco Franco that ruled Spain for nearly 4 decades. After WWII the communist army of East Germany used this method of marching. When Germany reunited as a democratic nation in 1990 the goosestep was finally abolished, at least in Germany. Other countries' armies may still use it today. Nevertheless, goosestepping is mostly associated with the Nazis, and usually fascism in general, often as a pejorative trait.

Bill keeps ranting about how "queers ought to be deported", how immigrants are "getting free houses, free cars, free education, free rides and "tax exemptions for 7 years" (note that magic number 7), the "liberal media and education bias", the "Jewish cartels", the "war on Christianity", "taking God out of schools" and all that tired hokey shit. He needs to take a good look around him. He's a goosestepper, a trained Pavlov dog, a droid.

Vermont

a unique American state, bordering the Canadian province of Quebec. For a few years during the Revolution Vermont was an independent republic. Vermont has Lake Champlain (known for the Champ monster), the picturesque Green Mountains, snowy winters, cool people, clean air, and of course, its famous maple syrup industry.

On a Sunday I drove from Montreal to St. Alban's Bay, Vermont because I had never been to New England before. At the border is a sign that says "Welcome to the United States, Bienvenue Etat Unis". A nearby sign welcomes you to Vermont. I took a few shots of the Green Mountains panorama and the Champaign lake. I didn't see the Champ, however. When I returned to Canada the lady border patrol officer smiled when I showed her the bottle of Vermont syrup I got for my mom.

Freedom

1. Liberty, the ability to do what you want to as long as you're not hurting someone else. A cornerstone of the United States of America.

2. A 1985 hit for Wham!. Note how singer George Michael puts on the image of being straight in the lyrics.

3. Of all the hit songs that were written after 9/11 that truly expresses America's heritage of liberty, this song by Sir Paul McCartney does it best without turning patriotism into money. It's by a Brit, too. Imagine that. All the other "patriotic" pop and country tunes that the damn radio played are trend-chasing garbage.

1. The U.S. Constitution embodies American democratic freedom.

2. ... I don't want your freedom
I don't want to play around
I don't want nobody baby
Part time love just brings me down
I don't need your freedom
Girl all I want right now is you
Du du du...

3. ... I will fight for the right
To live in freedom...

No blood for oil

a slogan used by antiwar protestors to denounce wars fought in lands where oil is abundant and other countries have business interests at.

1. In 1991 I saw bumper stickers protesting the first Gulf war. They said "Troops out now! No blood for oil."

2. When American and foreign troops were in Somalia obstensibly on a food drive and "nation building" exercise some people protested by stickers and T-shirts also saying "No blood for oil" because the pre-anarchy Somalian port of Mogadishu was believed to be once a stopover and replenishment place for oil tankers.

3. America is at war in Iraq once again and the phrase is being used once again: NO BLOOD FOR OIL!
