It’s Tuesday. When I was a kid, probably around 4th grade, a friend of mine had an older brother who was a huge Kiss fan. He introduced me to their music and it totally blew my mind. I probably didn’t fully understand it at that age, but I knew one thing for certain—I absolutely loved it! It wasn’t long before I convinced my parents to get me my first Kiss record, Destroyer, which I still own to this day. After that I started building my collection by asking for Kiss albums for birthdays and Christmas. As I got older my record collection continued to grow. I started to expand my musical interests to include other hard rock bands like AC/DC, Ozzy, Led Zeppelin and others. But Kiss was the first and I still listen to them today.

And as for the beaver sighting, I couldn’t think of a more appropriate band to associate themselves with than Kiss!

Keep, Ran across this old ticket stub from a concert many moons ago. It was a helluva show! Beaver Productions rocked back in the day. -fortierjt1

It’s Monday. I had a very uneventful weekend. I spent most of my Saturday getting all my tax info together. I’ve never been one to get them done early. Instead I put it off until, well, usually the beginning of April. So, in a way I guess you could say that I’m doing it early this year.

I spent Sunday doing some work while watching the Nascar race in Texas. And a damn good race it was. I then switched over to the Oscars. A few moments ago Will Smith just got up from his seat, walked on the stage, and punched Chris Rock in the face! Chris Rock had just made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair and obviously Will Smith didn’t like it. The joke seemed harmless until I learned that Jada has alopecia. Sooo… yeah, a pretty uncomfortable situation.

And then Will Smith wins best actor and delivers an emotional speech about love.

Wild stuff.

It’s Sunday! By now just about everyone has seen the footage of the red Chevy pickup that not only survived being tossed around by a Texas tornado, but made it back on all four wheels and was able to continue driving as though nothing had happened. I heard that a few dealerships have reached out to the teen driver but he hasn’t yet decided what his next move is. I’m with a buddy of mine who suggested that GM should feature the truck in one of their commercials like the series they did back in the 80s with Bob Seger’s iconic “Like A Rock” song. And judging by the video above, someone definitely agrees!

Update: I just read that Chevrolet has offered to donate a new truck to the teen.
