Wasn't Uncle Miltie accepting just about anything at that point in his career?
I'm not saying that what he did in the video was demeaning. After all, dressing up as a woman for comedic purposes is a long standing tradition. Thor himself dressed up as Freyja once. You don't get to see that in the Marvel comics or movies, though.
But the years weren't kind for Uncle Miltie & his comedy style. The guy really fell from grace.
Sometimes I wonder... is it better to have had & lost it all, or to never have had it at all? You can't miss what you didn't have. But losing everything can fuck you up real good.
Cheers!
Oh my lord, it's true...
Sweet lordy jesus.
Kneel before Thor? Well, why the hell not? At this point, it doesn't really matter, does it?

Thor is Jane Foster, who's dying of cancer, and weilding Mjolnir - is killing her faster.
Geez, way to bring down my thread, assholes...
Well, if seeing a damn fine woman armed with a godly pounding appendage brings you people down, I just don't know what the hell can please you guys.
Cheers!
Milton Berle's son managed Van Halen for awhile. The band said he gave them these super nice platinum VH necklaces as presents and the band later found out he charged their account to buy the necklaces. I think Uncle Milty was an American 50's icon. I don't know he used to be on TV shows and roasts and things when I was watching TV growing up. He had a joke book in the book stores.
No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!
Yeah, Uncle Miltie was the first television superstar.
When TV became a thing, he had the talent & was at the right place at the right time. Apparently NBC had no problems signing him up to a 30 year contract in the early 50s. Which is absolutely insane, but makes a bit of sense if you put it in the context of that era. Up until then, things were made to last & everything changed slowly, so 30 years in the perspective back then was quite reasonable.
But then, of course, things changed & Milton Berle was rendered obsolete pretty fast.
Like I said, it must suck to have it all & then losing everything.
Cheers!
I don't care what side of the fence anyone is/was on... that's just damn funny!!

Classic!!
PS... Congrats JHale on the audition... just getting the call to try out is an accomplishment and testament to your passion for playing!! So few get a look... let alone a listen in the business.

WTF? I was in the 2nd grade 50 years ago. I don't think we had a choir back then...
All I remember from that year is getting smacked by this mean-assed nun for struggling to write with my left hand because I had a full cast on my right arm from a nasty compound fracture from getting thrown from a horse. I suspect that's when my poor disposition towards authority figures took root...
Well.. All I can say is:
Congrats, Jay. Even though you didn't get the gig, you got to play with one of the best 80's bands.
So yeah, kudos, brother.

Thread derailment is a long established, finely tuned art. The more deranged, the better.
However, this is not meant to disrespect J for his accomplishment. I said earlier, and will state again my respect for the dude's efforts. The man has been a stand up friend of mine for years now, always full of cool advice and knowledge when my fumble-fingered efforts at sound or guitar repair blow chunks all over the dashboard.
Besides, if ever a thread needed a Bob and Doug McKenzie video, it's one of jhale's.
Great to see you guys again. All the best to you and your families, and all be well.
I'm stealing "Nuns and Laundry", btw....
Redundant or not the thread was started to congratulate you on your accomplishment. You didn't get the gig but the next time you might and it might be an even better gig. Someday I could be telling people I knew you when you were just a greasy haired varmint. Believe it or not I wish you well. You're a val.
Bertinelli?
Congrats Jhale.

Yup, believe it or not...Neil Young and fucking Pearl Jam. What a decade this bastard had...
PLAY LOUD!
Not necessarily... The term "valley" up and down the coast of California was/is used to describe inland folks who invade the beaches on weekends and holidays.
In the Monterey bay area we used the term heavily back in the 70's... generally referring to people from the Santa Clara, San Joquine and Salinas valleys. We also called them Kooks and Geeks... All part of the surf culture...
Oh my God, Valley's gag... I have a bumper sticker with that on one of my music gear cases and it predates that crappy valley girls song by about 10 years...
Hey, I just asked a question. Was there any need for that insult?
I do notice that you seem to have some deep seated issues that translate in lashing out every time somebody mentions something in your behaviour that isn't quite up to par. Instead of owning up to what you did, you just swing wildly at everyone & dig yourself in further. Maybe that's why you never made it & get kicked out of every band? It can't be the lack of talent. If they hire you, you're good enough.
But seeing as I have absolutely no interest in delving into your psyche & tend to avoid "people" like you in the real world, I shall bid you adieu, proceed to ignore any further replies from you & direct my attention to other, more interesting conversations going on in this thread.
Adieu.
Cheers!
That's a sign of the times, Chef. I bet if a band by that name turned up in the seventies, they wouldn't try to be "edgy" or silly. Maybe some funny lyrics in a couple of songs.
Something happened in the 90s when the need to shock & be edgy was somehow overwhelming.
Then of course, it got to the point of beyond ridiculous, so in the 00s, everyone was edgy only in a silly, self-mocking manner... you know. Ironically.
Thus the hipster was born. The 90s were the beginning of what will be the downfall of our civilization. Kurt Cobain. That motherfucker caused a ripple that will end up wiping out all human life in the planet. That was some serious self-loathing he had.
Cheers!
