 Mick Jones.  You remember him from The Clash.  He was their guitarist.  When he got fired from The Clash he did a short stint with General Public then started up Big Audio Dynamite or B.A.D.  I am selecting E=MC^2 (sorry can't do the superscript).   If you are making any amazon.ca purchase please click on my links below first as I will get a small commission on anything you buy even if it is something else.

Crucible by James Rollins

 

Here is another bonus post.  Just finished  Crucible by James Rollins which is a fast paced thriller.  I have read most of the Sigma Force Series by Rollins.  Some might think it is a bit of pulp but I like it.  As Kowolski says in the book, "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition" which is a quote from Monty Python.  Yes there is much historical reference to the Spanish Inquisition and witches but we end up with Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Physics in the book too.

 Okay if we are going to make fun of me yesterday with my 84 pic I found another one taken when I was at Jeff B's residence in Tdot.  Just before that I was at Mac U visiting his brother John and we went and saw Men Without Hats.  Man I wish I still had that concert shirt as it was sleeveless and timeless with their logo

Song of the Day for Saturday

 Hope your weekend is going well.  Today's song is from a band from the late 70s that had the lead singer that became big in the 80s.  Yes they were a poseur punk band but I still liked them.   Generation X was a band that a few good songs and launched Billy Idol's career with his Rebel Yell lp.   After my high school prom in 84 the next night a bunch of us went to that concert. Speaking of prom.  Here is my prom picture (try not to laugh too much) from my Dad's wallet. May he rest in peace.  As for the S.O.T.D.  I picked Kiss Me Deadly and the video is from a movie.  If you are  making any amazon.ca purchase please click on my links below first as I will get a small commission on anything you buy even if it is something else.

 No I don't have the butt camera video.  That was yesterday.  Today is Friday so welcome to the weekend. I saw that the President decided to have a colonoscopy today after my post yesterday. Hey, Alanis Morissette has an HBO documentary out called, you guessed it, Jagged.  You remember her from the 90s.  The Canadian alt-rocker that pushed her way into the boys club and made some dude feel like a prick that he was.  Well I have that on DVD but I am going to play a cover that I actually liked better by 1000 Mona Lisas and their cover of You Oughta Know which I also have on CD.  I also posted the trailer for Jagged below.  If you are  making any amazon.ca purchase please click on my links below first as I will get a small commission on anything you buy even if it is something else.

Song of the Day for Thursday

I have tried not to repeat a band but I am going to for  The Ramones.  I had them a couple of weeks ago with Beat On The Brat.  Today I could only think of one song that is fitting it is I Wanna Get Sedated.  If you can think of some just put a comment in.  I haven't told you what is going on but with the pic below maybe you can figure it out.   Shyt I am getting old.  Here is a picture to help explain.

Maybe now you know why.  If not this stuff is to clean me out.  Roto-rootor.  Time for the old man colonoscopy.  Wish me luck.  I hate going under sedation.  Last time I had this procedure I was able to watch the plumbing as the sedation didn't really work.   If you are  making any amazon.ca purchase please click on my links below first as I will get a small commission on anything you buy even if it is something else.

Song of the Day for Wednesday

 Ok so we are going with the turn of the 80s new wave genre.  So that is the dawn of MTV.  My favourite....NOT.  It is 40 years ago.   Anyways the trivia question is what was the first song played on the said channel. It is one hit wonder The Buggles with Video Killed The Radio Star.  So there was actually two versions of this song with Bruce Woolley having his own with Thomas Dolby doing some keyboards with him.  This song did foreworn what was going to happen for sure.  If you are  making any amazon.ca purchase please click on my links below first as I will get a small commission on anything you buy even if it is something else.

Game of Shadows

 

The book opens discussing McGwire and Sossa’s chase for the home run record with Bonds being jealous for being overlooked for his all around talent.

 

We are then introduced to  Victor Conte the owner of Balco, a nutrition supplement company.  We hear about his relationship to Marion Jones, the worlds top female sprinter.  He discusses her use of human growth hormone and EPO.  We then see some of his financial troubles and marital problems.

 

The authors then bring in Barry Bonds and basically says that he has been a talented prima dona his whole life, even in high school.  When he was with Pirates no team mate really cared for him.  

 

They mention Charlie Francis a few times.  You know coach of Ben Johnson disgraced  Canadian 100m Olympic champ in Seoul until he tested positive for being a roid boy.  Everyone in that final was juicing even American clean boy Carl.  Clean my ass.   I digress.  Barry started shooting Winstrol after the 98 season. The same shit Ben Johnson was on.  

 

The book then goes into the world of track and field with Victor Conte’s injection clients.  Some pretty big names: Marion Jones, Gail Devers, Tim Montgomery, Chryste Gaines, Alvin & Calvin Harrison, Regina Jacobs, Brit Dwain Chambers and Ukrainian Zhanna Block.

 

In 2003 both Bonds and NY Jason Giambi were now taking growth hormone, The Cream, The Clear, Clomid and a bunch of pills.  Similarly Atlanta Braves slugger Gary Sheffield hung with Bonds and was taking injectable testosterone and human growth hormone and later The Cream and The Clear.  

 

The book then describes how a  federal investigator went threw Balcos garbage and found all kinds of incriminating stuff.  The rest of the book goes through the grand jury process etc and plea deals and testimony that was leaked to the press but I got the feeling Bonds got off easy.  One football NFL football player called into the grand jury was former U of Michigan running back and 110m hurdler,Tyrone Wheatley.    What a dick.  See below.
