Clear Lake Iowa!!!!!!!! Sweet!!!!!!!!!!

[CyThrax]

Can't believe Anthrax is coming to Iowa!!!!!
They're taking the music back to the place where the music died!
Kick ass!! That's only about an hour and a half away. This rules!!!!!!!

Clearlake isn't that where Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper died on tour? Well anyway sounds like this show will rock.

I know someone in Nebraska and bitched about how everyone goes to places in Iowa and other states like that but never goes to Omaha, that's funny.

Yeah, the Surf Ballroom where Anthrax is playing was the place of their last show. It has a very un-metal look to it (tropical) so it will look like I'm watching Anthrax in Puerto Rico or something.

Trivia time:
Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper all died in plane crash following their last performance at the Surf Ballroom. They couldn't fit all four performers on the plane, so one of the perfomers had to take the bus. The fourth performer was sentenced to the bus and went on to have a very successful career in music. Who was it?

 

[Vic Rattlehead]

Is the answer Dion?

We have our winner. Waylon Jennings, country music outlaw and the Balladeer from the Dukes of Hazzard.

Brat-for your prize, if you can make it to the Clear Lake show, the tickets on me!! I don't really have anything else to offer up as a prize. Maybe I'll vote about 50 extra times and dedicate them to you!

 

[bRaTpRiNcEsS]

I don't deserve a prize. I asked my dad.

You can vote an extra 50 times, though!

 

[DarbysDad]

Oh man I knew the answer without asking pops.

 

[bRaTpRiNcEsS]

Yeah, well, I'm not that OLD.

One day he was telling me about how all the kids got sent home from school the day Kennedy was shot. When he told me he was in tenth grade, I asked him if he climbed down off his dinosaur to listen to what the teacher was saying, or if he just rode it home. He takes it pretty well.

 

[DarbysDad]

If 35 is real old, than I might die by the end of the week. **knock on wood** and not my own.

 

[Metal Maiden]

But wouldn't that be more fun?

 

[DarbysDad]

Yeah and judging by the weekend I might be doing that tonight.

My first year in college they started showing re-runs of the Dukes. Two episodes in the late afternoon after classes were over every day. I think it was on TNN. We watched that religously. Wish I still had my Dukes lunch box.

"Just the good ole boys..."

 

[DarbysDad]

Dude back in my college days we had re-runs of A-Team and we all hit the cartoons too. Funny thing I never watched A-team when it was new. I remember a sadistic midget joke on a Disney ducktales episode.

 

[bRaTpRiNcEsS]

My dad watched A-Team religiously. It's still on in the mornings on TNN. I don't know why TNN took off Dukes, I used to watch that all the time. I watched that every day when I was a kid. I think I had the hots for one or both of them.

 

[DarbysDad]

Probably both. I used to watch the new episodes that aired on Friday nights, so yes I'm old.

 

[bRaTpRiNcEsS]

I don't remember when I watched them. My sister is ten years older than me, so I picked up a lot of shit when I was little that other little kids never heard of til much later.

It probably was both. I had many crushes growing up...
