Aerosmith and ZZ Top in Las Vegas

Steve Tyler and Joe Perry

I’m afraid this is the concert that broke the proverbial camel’s back. Last year saw a large group of classic rock concerts hitting the road, with Boston, Journey, Heart, Styx, anybody who was around back in the seventies was back again last summer. And of all the shows, only Journey and Trans-Siberian Orchestra were worth the trouble it took to get there.
This year it’s slim pickins. Only ZZ Top and Aerosmith together were promised to be the show of the year. Local papers were stating, “If you see only one concert all year, this is it!”
Unfortunately, the cost and the trouble to get to it and stay through it far outweighed the enjoyment.
You would think the hottest bands in America over the past 30 years playing in the hottest American resort town during a hot summer with hot babes wearing next-to-nothing would be a veritable gift from the rock gods. Instead, it was a battle to fight the traffic, with all valet parking being filled hours before the show leaving hundreds of cars anxiously roaming in search of a place to park before the show started.

Caprica (2009)

I wasgoing to write a review on a show that I have come late into watching, but have come to like very much: Battlestar Galactica. I think its acting, music, story and special effects are top notch. But, again, since it is old news and the series has come to an end, all I can say is watch the whole damned thing from the mini-series beginning to the end and you’ll be just as hooked.
But now the new thing is Caprica. Since Hollywood’s going nuts for pre-quels, or shit that happened before the main event, it’s no surprise they threw this together. Read the rest of this entry »

Man, It Sucks Gettin’ Old

Written by King Lizzard on 02 July 2009

In our ever continuing saga to show you how much life sucks, even for celebrities, we present “Man, It Sucks Gettin’ Old,” an ongoing photo gallery of celebs then and now.
Remember, unless we die young we’re all going to get there. Now, mind you, I’m not posting these pix to make fun of our beloved celebs of twenty to forty years ago, shit, I’m in the same boat. I just find it very intriguing that, even though we are the same body, mind, soul and essence, what we look like at 50+ is a totally different bucket of shit than what we looked like in our 20s. When we get up in the morning we think of ourselves as being young and vital, and when we look at the mirror we see some grey, bloated, wrinkled thing looking back.
Sometimes, when I see a woman in her 80s I see a little girl, and when I see a baby I see the old man he will become. So folks that are over fifty, you remember what our friends looked like; folks under thirty, treasure what you look like cause it ain’t gonna last for long!
