      No, the cat was simply the trigger. The gun had been loaded & was ready to fire.

      Dave did it. It's Dave's fault. Stop it.

            Are you two ladies still fighting over this? Geez, back in the old days there would have been at least two meltdowns and one goodbye thread over this argument by now lol

            I don't hate Dave. I just think the guy's stupid site reflects he total inability to grasp the importance of the interwebz. Sure, he's got his twatter feed and somebody is updating it. But his site sucks and since he made his triumphant return it hasn't gotten any better. Here's all he has to do:

            Pictures
            Video
            New Roth Show - can't believe I'm asking for that. Might as well fireboard me
            Archive of old stuff
            Lastly - a new Roth Radio

            None of that would require much effort on his end.

              Well, PB won't stop hitting me with his purse.

              Tell him to stop, Donnie.

              And his complete lack of knowledge on how to market himself after 1985. It's been one bumbling mistake after another. "Hey, let's feature my ass prominently in every video."

              He'd have to care for his fans, though.

                    In the book on page 270, Ted Templeman, upon listening to two new tunes that the band had written since he'd last seen them, said of "Atomic Punk" and "Ain't Talkin 'Bout Love", "I really did my homework, and what I learned was that those were Dave's lyrics, and he was a great lyricist. And I knew he was smart. And that's hard to come by, somebody who's really, really bright like that."

                    __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________

                    Indeed, 37 years on and the questions about Roth, though rhetorical, still remain. I.e., Does he really rule the streets at night like no other? Where did he hear the news about her disease... and did he drive her down to the clinic in his crappy Subaru himself... or did he tell her to take the bus?
                    Yes Sir, as a "lyricist" the poetic genius in Roth is simply undeniable.

                    Come on,Ted, give us a break.

                      Yet another tidbit I'm still wrestling with in the book is the reported request from Black Sabbath that DLR perform as a stand-in at the show for MIA Ozzy. That would have been quite the event it seems to me.

                      Beavrtek - proud "full on cocktard"! Thanks Administrator, cool cheapshot!

                          You know Dave is quite the artist. Paul Stanley has managed to sell himself as an artist and done well. I think Dave's art is more interesting than Paul's. My frustration with Dave is his lack of being able to market himself. As a live performer his voice is shot and he never had much of a voice to begin with and his stage act is for a young guy. An old guy looks goofy up there. I wish Dave was more like Gene Simmons and was out to create everything and sell it to you. I just see a lot of talent locked up in a house doing nothing. I don't know. Maybe Dave's hyperactivity scrambles him to where he just can't focus.
                          No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!

                            Greg stresses that it although Ted has worked with dozens of artists, it will be heavy on his VH time.....

                              Does anyone want to read Doobie Brothers stories?
                              Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.

                                Might be fairly boring read... I ran into Patrick Simmons of the Doobies a few times at a local guitar shop in Santa Cruz, Ca back in the early 70's. He was having them build some pedal boards and amp repairs. Nice guy and pretty laid back.
