Evel Knievel dies at 69; Viva Knievel

Daredevil Evel Knievel died Friday at the age of 69. He had been in failing health for years including diabetes and pulmonary fibrosis.
I remember buying Evel Knievel trading cards when I was in 1st grade...balls of steel....R.I.P.

For any Knievel fans who have not seen the comedy "Hot Rod" I highly recommend it even to non fans for that matter..it pays loving and hilarious tribute to the kind of guys that are driven to do these crazy stunts...Like Rod, the title character of "Hot Rod" states while barely clinging to consciousness : " Life is pain..and you have to scrape every bit of joy you can out of it any chance you get..."

New England Patriots : Tainted?

According to Don Schula, Coach of the 72 Dolphins the only undefeated (yet) team in NFL history,
The NE Pats should "have an asterisk" next to their record if they go undefeated this season because of the "spygate" scandal. What do you think? IMHO ,I think this is a surprisingly classless move by Schula The Pats are whoopin on everybody because they are better than everyone else. They could film an entire game of the entire opposing team showering (dont get any ideas you kinky bastards!) and it would not change the fact they are playing better on the field. I suspect Schula smells that the Pats are going to run the table and is issuing a pre-emptive disclaimer..What do you all think?

R.I.P. Kevin DuBrow ; Fly on Thunderbird

Quiet Riot Vocalist Kevin DuBrow, 52, was found dead at his Vegas home Sunday night ; cause of death unknown at this time pending autopsy/toxicology. I had the privilege of meeting and interviewing Kevin back in 1995 when they were in town promoting the "Down To The Bone" album . He was very polite, intelligent and articulate. He had a reputation as an asshole but I can say he was not one with me. I still have the pictures I took with the band backstage after the show on my wall and they all autographed my copy of "Metal Health" and posed for pix very graciously. I listened to "Thunderbird" last night after hearing about his death and toasted to Kevin...Fly away to your new home Brother...
