This weekend instead of going to the movies, I enjoyed a round of live music. My wife’s friend was in town and we all went to a hxc show. It wasn’t all that great….

The bands that played were:

Heroes Amongst Thieves
Radio Suicide
No Bragging Rights
Madison Drive
Moneta

We only stayed for 3 bands, and then left…

The bands sucked. These bands, although trying hard to fill a genre that is heavy, don’t do a very good job at it. I grew up around this type of music and social scene, and it’s gone to crap now. These bands, although at times interesting, carry an overall lack of musical ingenuity and sound.

I’ve been listening to hardcore and punk for 15 years now, and I’ve heard it ALL. I’m not some idiot that is new to musical genre’s, so much so that if I were single I’d be working at a record store, patronizing stupid music buyers that come in the store asking for any cd’s from the above bands…although I’d sell the cd’s to them, but not without giving them a hard time about not knowing their roots….plus most of these bands all sound the same now anyways…and while I hate that excuse, I really hate it when it’s blaringly obvious…

oh well…

I did manage to find out that one of my favorite bands of yesteryear are coming through the same venue, but unfortunately the tickets after fees are $48.75! I used to pay $10 to get into see them…i give up….no wonder older people don’t go to these shows, it’s too expensive.

I didn’t go to the movies this weekend.

I did however get a new book! I’m still working on the last book I’ve been reading “The Freedom Manifesto” but I got a new book, and I’m already half way through it.

It’s a great book, easy to read and follow and offers great insight into the life and times of Ron “The Hedgehog” Jeremy.

At first glance many people will shy away from this book because he talks about having sex with a lot of women…but if you get past the initial stages of his pornographic lifestyle you start to see glimpses of American Sexuality, freedom, religion, and storytelling that transcends average biographical book.

The sociological aspects of this book cement my interest higher than any t & a that could be expected from such subject matter. Ron Jeremy does a fantastic job in illustrating his life so far…since I’ve read half the book already. An easy read, a great subject matter, I recommend this so far…Ron Jeremy might not be the first name that comes to mind to the average person in regards to pornography, but he’s definitely an icon on many different levels. The book is titled Ron Jeremy: The Hardest Working Man in Showbiz and is available for sale everywhere. So far so good, a great read.
