OK Keiser, a few ground rules before you build up a head of steam. 1. This site is seen by women and children, so keep it semi-clean/PG13, got it? 2. Never make the last out of an inning at 3rd base, try to start a rally or keep one going. and 3. See #1 again. Other than that, we're glad to have you on board. I was starting to get a little worried. Didn't know if you had pulled out the old "artistic differences" card again, or what. But you're safe and somewhat sound and you didn't call us collect, so that's a good sign.
I like your tv detective take. As you know, I was on the Rockford Files bandwagon as a kid. It is still my firm conviction that nobody gets beat up better than Jim Rockford. Poor guy comes home to the trailer late at night, opens his door, and gets a bolo punch to the breadbasket before he even has a chance to turn the lights on. His dad, Rocky, he was a good one too. Kind of moody sometimes, though. Noah Berry was in a lot of old westerns before his Rockford days. Hey, remember the episode with the guest shot by Isaac Hayes? He knew Jim from when they were in jail, and he called him "Rockfish" for some reason.
I also use to like Cannon, and Mannix was worth watching just to hear the theme song. 2 of the all-time great tv theme tunes, The Rockford Files, and Mannix. You know that I've been doing the Rockford theme for several years now on the B-Bender Tele; maybe we should work up Mannix to, what do you guys think?
top 3 tv "hot-heads" for your consideration
1. Nick Barkley - The Big Valley
2. Don - Lost in Space
3. Sgt. Carter - Gomer Pyle
Nick Barkley always had on black gloves and would walk in the front door, head straight for the whiskey decanter, pour himself 4 fingers, and turn around and spit out some sarcastic remark towards a stunned Heath. (they were only half-brothers, you know)
Don was always on the verge of losing control and pummeling Dr. Smith to a pulp,
And Sgt. Carter looked like that vein in his forhead was ready to pop at any minute whenever he was yelling at Gomer.
A closing trivia question: Which tv western character actor replaced Frank Sinatra as vocalist for the Dorsey band earlier in his career? Hint - think "mule". (Jeff, you're not eligible for this one since we discussed it at the last symposium).
all of this stuff really does have something to do with the music. be good.
