Favorite Hair Metal Deep Cuts

This is a fun little article. Metal Edge interviewed Satchel from Steel Panther on his favorite hair metal deep-cuts. The list includes Dokken, Dio, EZO, Hurricane and Judas Priest. I can't say any of the choices on the list would make my own cut, but this is an interesting and varying selection, so I give mad props. The inclusion of EZO is really interesting. Click the link to see the list and give the article a read. It's a short one and it is fun.

News Of The Week Roundup: Week 34, 2021

So much news over the past week and especially today. Hurricane Ida is a massive category 4 storm. She is lashing parts of Louisiana today and will bring large storm surges and heavy rain to surrounding states. Watching some of the live cams, I fear for the folks who decided to stay in place. There is going to be widespread damage for sure. Hospitals in the south are already full because of COVID-19 and it's a confluence of bad events. Also, a reminder for folks since so many of us will be dealing with flooding rains far from the hurricane in the days ahead: do not drive your car through water. You can drown and your car will get destroyed too.




Federal resources (FEMA) and disaster declarations are already declared so hopefully people will start getting help immediately once the storm passes. The humanitarian airlift out of Afghanistan continues. Over the past couple of weeks, 113,000 Americans and SIV-Afghans have been flown out of the country. A bad situation turned worse when a member of ISIS-K detonated a suicide vest, killing American troops and Afghans. The violence just reinforces my opinion that it was time to leave Afghanistan... 19 years ago.




Today, President Biden went to Dover Air Force Base for the dignified transfer service of the remains of the troops killed in the suicide blast.




The U.S. fought back swiftly, launching a drone strike that killed the planner and associate of the deadly attack.


The Delta variant and low vaccination rates are two reasons COVID-19 is hanging around this summer. Case numbers are climbing all over the country, but the crisis point remains the south. Still, some states are reissuing mask mandates to try and stop the spread. Illinois is now under a mandatory mask mandate for everyone again.



Booster shots are coming for sure. It's just a question of when.




Sirhan Sirhan, the man who killed Robert F. Kennedy in 1968 and altered the course of history was granted parole and will be released from prison unless California Governor Gavin Newsom reverses the decision. Personally, I think it's ridiculous to let him out of jail. He should stay behind bars for life.



Actor Ed Asner has died. He played Lou Grant on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and then later on the spinoff Lou Grant. Such great television!



And I leave you with this:
