Queen, live, in 1975. Okay, so Fabulous Freddie had “too much swish in his hips” and was “a little too sissy for the show” — you got a problem with that? You do? Oh. Okay, then. [Video, duration is 1 hour, 8 minutes].

I find it creepy, but very predictable, that Linda Ronstadt focuses only on the Mexican side of her heritage, even though she is only 1/4 Mexican by race [1]. She always has something rotten to say about Donald Trump and the border wall. But, as Alex has said, Mexico would be a great place if […]

Apparently, Eddie Van Halen was god-like in the guitar world. But why? Was Van Halen a fast guitar player? Yes. Very fast. But, was he a good guitar player?

(This is edited from before; also, the links in the prior post have changed) Democrazy Liberals love democracy. They worship it. It’s so…equalizing. (That’s why they also love communism).

Arguably the best Iron Maiden album. Not a dud song on it. Iron Maiden, “Piece Of Mind” (1983)
