Jerry and Larry,

or, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb. Hope they never see this, cause they'll come and kick my -ss. 'The Boys', were twins. 6'7" and around 280. These were the guys Barry chose to head his 'security'. My buddy, Gary, went to high school with them, in Thornton, and got to know them. I worked with Gary as a union carpenter, in the early 70's. We made good money and did concerts on the side. Then went 'full time' with some big name bands. Not to drop names, but, The Who, The Stones, Tull, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, to name a few, made for some interesting shows. Did Denver shows, and a bunch of shows thruout the Midwest. Anyway, Jerry and Larry impressed Alice with their size and attitude, so he signed them up for his 'freak show'. They were 'plants' in the audience who he would 'get into it with', just to cause a scene. They were such a hit with the show and him, they went with him on this European tour and had an amazing time, touring European capitals. Am going to continue this 'epic' with the boys, on my next post. Nuggets are beating Orlando, and want to watch. Will try to do a somewhat 'contiguous' log on this particular trip, cause it was 'interesting'. Did a "Greatful Dead" concert soon after and had some more 'memorable' times

I knew Larry and Jerry well, I even had their sister spend a week with me when the guys went on tour w Alice and then with Bob Dylan, do you know LeLanni McKim I would sure like to connect with her, I did several shows with the "goons" they were great guys, spent a week at his parents home I think it was Littleton Colorado, I also remember driving station wagon for one of Barry's guys back then don't remember his name though, but later found that we were carrying a brick of MJ in the glove box, and I was driving in snow in which I had difficult time.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
