tap-tap... Is this thing on?

Anybody left over here? Just wanted to pop in and let everyone know that Dilana's triumphant return to Houston was a smash, babies!!! A SMASH!! Sold-out, mind-blown crowd. She poured out everything for us, and we ate it up. We sang with her, we screamed for her, and we LOVED IT!!!!

And can I just say? That band is sh*t hot. When they break into le roc, the crowd goes wild and the house shakes. It's a beautiful thing.

The covers were superb, as we'd expect, including a fine rendition of "Eleanor Rigby" and a lovely "Wicked Game". And of course, she was home in Houston, so we all sang a hokey-jokey (but reverent, yes, reverent) version of "Mercedes Benz" during which she hit a note - you know, that one at the end - and it seriously stopped my heart. She did sound so much like Mama Pearl, it haunted us all. I had never been so moved. Janis was with us, to be sure. It was cool.

"Super Soul" is a raging wonder of an anthem, and had us all pumping our fists in the air during the choruses. Man, that was a hell of a show.

The high point for me was a personal one, though. As I turned around once during the show, I saw a friendly face from my past, in the days when I was playing rockstar here in the tiny Houston scene of the 90's. She had been a bartender at one of our regular gig spots, and another bartender from back in the day was with her. She told me how much she missed those shows, and they both complimented me on me ol' pipes. "You can sing your ass off." ... sigh, I too was a rockstar. Once. :)

How BORED am I?

That I would take loads of time out of my work day to create a photo slide show of Rockstar Supernova rockers for my MySpace page?

What does that say about me, exactly? WAIT! Don't answer that.

But if'n you wanna see it, lemme know.

What's with the Hate?

I sure wish you'd come to this site earlier, MADMAN... we'd have slapped you down good.

We don't have a problem with ANYONE's tastes or posts, provided they're respectable. We're not censors, either... notice ReX doesn't ZAP your ass. But at the same time, we have OUR RIGHTS, too.

And if we don't like the way you're playing, we won't wanna play with you. And we'll tell you so.

Trolls like you don't last long around here. But if you play nice, we can have some really great conversations.

just sayin'...

This from PATRICE!!

"As I hope you all already know, I have a new CD coming out on October 14th entitled "Unraveling". The Austin, TX (my hometown) release will be on October 14th at Antones. I hope everyone of you can come out for it, it's going to be a good time, I promise!

Here is a video of a song I wrote while I was on Rockstar, and I had to sing it over a track that Supernova had pre-recorded.

I hope everyone has a beautiful day!

Much love,
Pp"

Tried to insert the video, but am SO computer illiterate in that arena. Don't even know how to put pics in these posts... sigh. But here's the YouTube link:

And if that doesn't work, here's the YouTube link for the search I did:

Would it Work?

Floated this over on another site, and got many more postitive responses than I thought I would... trying it here on the mossbacks and wise ones:

Would this show work if they were auditioning guitar players?

I mean, if they can't find a band next year that's willing to do the show to find a singer, could they find one that needs a guitar player? And would we watch?
