Re: The Hardline According To... The Golden Boy- The Well Part XXII

Actually there were a few TI's. I think one was on HWY 100 also. They had that signature roof design that lasted on the buildings years after they shut down.

I was just talking to my boss about this- the one on 124th and Burleigh is still there, the front facade is entirely gone, but from the back you can see the roof.

I took guitar lessons from a friend at Bob Kames music. At least I think it that's what it was called. They were in a building on Forest Home near FreeStyle Graphics where I used to work. I don't think Kames is there still.

I saw Bob Kames at the WAMI awards- he got a 'lifetime achievement award." He's in a chair, so it wouldn't surprise me he's not in the business.

No, DiMarini's didn't move from Bay View. I moved to the 'burbs. I discovered there were at least 3 DiMarini's restaurants though, all split from a single one thanks to other family dramas I heard. The Bay View location still has awesome 'za.

I knew about the "family drama" but I'd also heard they'd patched things up. I don't know anyone in the family or anything... just what you hear "around."

If you could only eat one meal a day, where would you like to live when and if you bring a helicopter pilot to the prom?

Don't ask! It's gross!

Gross, in the German sense of the word. Sehr Gross.

Have you ever looked under that big silver pup cover?If so,what's under there?

It's two big ol' electric taped coils of wire on either side of the pole pieces. Next time I have it apart, I'll shoot a pic.

Do you think Suzanne Vega's last name is really Vegafria?

Shhh.....

I don't need my wife finding out about THIS one...

If my sons grow up to be like TGB, they better start now stashing away money for liquor and long-distance phone calls.

(Just playin', Dave. )

Teach them the ways of the Old Crow- it's never to early to learn an appreciation for cheap Bourbon...

Man... My parenting skillz are getting more betterer...

[The Golden Boy]

Re: The Hardline According To... The Golden Boy- The Well Part XXII

i've said it before and i'll say it again ... if my sons grow up to be like TGB, i will have done a good job

to that end, what general approaches to parenting have you found most useful and least useful

Wow. Thanks Bill. That's an amazing compliment.

I think my parenting skills suck. What I hope to be able to do is let the kids know WHY they're being corrected and be able to praise when they do things well. Sometimes it's hard to even see the little things that get done right- not to mention making a positive comment about something as trivial as being able to comb your own hair...

The least useful thing is getting angry and yelling because you're angry. Not only are you losing your self control, you're building resentment. Our kids clam up when they get resentful if you go too far. Then nobody wins.

I told you, my parenting skillz suck.

You can ask Paul McCartney any three questions, and he will answer them as completely and honestly as possible. What questions do you ask?

- Keith

How do you write a song?

What do you regret, and why?

What was it like porking a one legged gold-digger?

Re: The Hardline According To... The Golden Boy- The Well Part XXII

Another ? with local flavor.

What's the best Summerfest show you've seen?

Weird Al, 1984, at the Old Style stage (over by the WLPX rock stage). I got an awesome picture of him when he jumped off the stage (all foot and a half of it) while singing "One More Minute."

Re: The Hardline According To... The Golden Boy- The Well Part XXII

Describe the most hilarious onstage incident you've ever experienced.

Experienced?

I was doing a bunch of covers for a pub crawl. It was great because we really only needed like 45 minutes of material, and do it over and over again for fresh loads of people being dropped off. Our drummer was this little skinny kid, and our singer/guitar player was one of the most singularly talented individuals I've ever had the fortune of working with.

There was a LOT of liquor flowing at this thing. I got a little hammered, but the drummer kid got supa-hammered, and he had this big ox of a chick workin' him- think Mimi from the Drew Carey Show, with huge boobs eveloping this little scrawny Alfalfa lookin' kid.



I think bad things happened that night.


Also the singer got supa-hammered and was laying on the stage- with some chick pouring Dr.McGillicudy's down his throat.

That was nutz.

Re: The Hardline According To... The Golden Boy- The Well Part XXII

Whoa...

I don't know if can think of 3.

Here's the deal, I can dislike and talk smack about all kinds of bands, but not that I'd want them "taken out," so to speak. (either taken as a mafia hit, or just never existing in the first place) Since the question was asked, and I feel compelled to answer- I'm going to say Creed. Creed, to me, is what "rock" would be if you sucked the life, spontinaetiy and vibrance out of rock. Like beer without the taste and the alcohol. It leaves me feeling empty, but I should still like it because it's "beer." Creed spawned so many other bands, most prominently Nickelback, that have that soul-less, over Pro-Tooled, Rhythm Doctored, Auto Tuned "rock" sound and STRIVE to sound like that... My theory as to why the state of live music is where it is... The kids that are hitting college and drinking age now are the ones who grew up with this. If Creed was my definition of "rock," I sure wouldn't go out for more of it.

That's it for the hatin'

Singer: Eric Carmen
Bass: James Jamerson
Guitar: Steve Jones
Guitar: Leslie West
Keys: Denis DeYoung.

That lineup would ****in' dominate.


I love Page's solo from "Achilles' Last Stand." It's like a story in and of itself.

Yeah, three was a bit too much to ask, really. I'm satisfied with the answer, and actually totally agree about it.
And the lineup ain't bad either.
Achilles FTW, one of the best of Page.

Re: The Hardline According To... The Golden Boy- The Well Part XXII

Saved by a technicality.

GREAT story. That had to be terrifying. Did you fall upon him like terrible thunder after it was clear you were both safe, for being stupid and endangering both your lives?

As soon as I landed I had that harness off and was in that kid's face. He caught hell for it for a long time- and nobody wanted to jump near him. I think we made him wear the cherry tape on his next few jumps as well...

Of course, I caught all hell for it as well- as I would have given anyone else it happened to. Heck, I even gave my buddy who shattered his spine a huge load of ****. To be fair, I didn't know he'd shattered his hips and several vertebrae- I just knew he was in pain and needed to catch ****.

The only potential accident that I didn't give the guy **** about was when a guy had a cigarette roll. It's where the parachute twists all the way up so it can't inflate. At 7-800 feet, you've only got a couple of seconds to make a determination as to what's happening. At night, it makes it more difficult.

Re: The Hardline According To... The Golden Boy- The Well Part XXII

Name three bands that you'd erase from the history of rock.

Whoa...

I don't know if can think of 3.

The ultimate dream team: (Singer/Bass/2*Guitar/Drums, and maybe keyboards)

Singer: Eric Carmen
Bass: James Jamerson
Guitar: Steve Jones
Guitar: Leslie West
Keys: Denis DeYoung.

That lineup would ****in' dominate.

What's the best guitar solo ?

I love Page's solo from "Achilles' Last Stand." It's like a story in and of itself.

Re: The Hardline According To... The Golden Boy- The Well Part XXII

I'll have to tell my wife about Treasure Island, she remembered it being on Hwy 100.

... I met Bob Kames Jr., who's dad ran/runs Bob Kames Music- a big organ place
DiMarini's moved? Out of Bay View?

Actually there were a few TI's. I think one was on HWY 100 also. They had that signature roof design that lasted on the buildings years after they shut down.
