I Remember You -- Redux
2008-04-27 13:31:00 Agents will do just about anything to get a listing, and I am pretty much the same. I will stop, however, at illegal activities, of course. So too, will I stop at owner supplied selling prices. I pick the price.So it is that a request has come from an prospective lister that meets my criteria of "just about anything".Here goes:November 12, 1994. In the dark trunks, Junior Vasquez at 128 pounds. In the whites, with " C K " on the right hip, Mickey "the Lawman" Gutterman at 126 pounds.It is the third round. At 2:52 I take a cross on the right eye brow that opens up a stream of blood. At 2:58 I take a hit in the left rib cage that makes breathing hard.Between rounds, my trainer the staunches the blood flow and into the 4th I go. Breathing hurts, and my trainer tells me to circle to my left and lead with left uppercuts. This will keep my right eye "away" from Junior, but it will open my sore rib cage to his body shots. It is hoped my left elbow (in uppercut position) will offer some pro...
I remember you
2008-04-15 17:37:00 I am usually wary of that pentameter up top. Usually the "good is oft interred with the bones" as Shakespeare wrote, so when someone "remembers" you, it cannot be for the good.The other day, a woman comes up to me and says that. I try to rehash through ancient wild party visions to see if I can conjure my half of the memory, but there is nothing."Glad to see you, again," I say,-- buying time. "Hope all is well.""Not again," she says, "There is no again, because you've never seen me before."My prurient interests are piqued! We must have "done it" with the lights off.But no. "You beat the crap out if my husband. We needed the cash and he tried his hand at prize fighting at Wonderland. You beat the crap out of him. We didn't get the money. You did. You're the boxer, right?"Relieved, I drop my gloves, so to speak and begin the speech, how are you glad things are well after all where are you living and, of course, if you know anyone who is thinking about changing their living arrangem...
Skid Row - I Remember You (1989)
2007-09-19 07:00:00 Skid Row was one of the last hair metal bands to hit the mainstream before grunge took over in the early '90s. They were also arguably the last of such bands to have any originality. While their 1989 self-titled release used standard pop-metal riffs and contained a handful of generic lyrics, 1991's Slave to the Grind and 1995's Subhuman Race broke away from the pop-metal mold with uncharacteristically hard, thrashy guitars and more unique songwriting while still relying on varying '80s metal formulas. Though personal differences and changing trends would eventually tear the band apart by 1996, Skid Row showed a tremendous amount of promise during their short run in the mainstream. Skid Row was formed in 1986 by bassist Rachel Bolan and former Bon Jovi guitarist Dave "The Snake" Sabo. The pair added guitarist Scott Hill, drummer Rob Affuso, and vocalist Sebastian Bach to the lineup by early 1987 and the band spent the next year and a half playing a series of local clubs in the ea... |
