Years of training and competition just to get snapped in the junk. The announcer does a great job letting the world know this guy just got a slalom pole in the sack. This guy will probably be on the Women’s Ski Team next time.
This could be worse than the guy who wiped out doing a ski jump on the old ABC Wide World Of Sports Intro:
I saw this online and thought it was so interesting… It’s a high school note from Slash (Saul) to his ex-girlfriend… Michelle! They broke up because he talked about hig guitar too much! HA!!!!!
Here’s the post on Letters Of Note.com
Saul was just 14 when he wrote and illustrated the following letter to Michelle Young; an ex-girlfriend who had just recently ended their relationship and, in a previous letter, blamed the decision on Saul’s unending talk of his guitar. The guitar obsession never ended and Saul soon became Slash, one of the world’s most admired guitarists and member of Guns N’ Roses, whilst Michelle stayed in the picture and after dating Axl Rose in the mid-80s became the subject of My Michelle, a song that frankly spoke of her drug-fuelled lifestyle, her father’s career in ‘porno’ and her mother’s death.
Incidentally, the Starwood Club closed down two years later. Quiet Riot however went on to huge success and released an album in 1983 that topped the U.S. charts; unheard of for a heavy metal band.
Transcript follows.
Many thanks – yet again – to Jeff at Hard Rock for supplying the letter. If you haven’t yet been, I highly recommend visiting the Hard Rock Memorabilia website to view all manner of fascinating music-related memorabilia. They can also be followed on Facebook.

Dear Michele,
Your letter scared me, upon first glance, I hadn’t any idea what it was about, but when you told me, it struck in a strange way, I hadn’t any idea that I talked about my guitar so often, I’m going to have to change that, no matter who I talk to.
It’s a drag that it screwed up our relationship, you should have told me sooner, but I don’t think that’s the only reason, you just don’t like me that much, and I can see why, because I’m a hard person to get along with at times.
But any I’m glad we got that straight, thank you for not lying to me. To get off the subject, you look really nice today, you get prettier & prettier every day. My weekend was pretty good. Steve came by and we went to a couple parties, and we went to the Starwood, I spent pretty much of my weekend on cloud 9 if you know what I mean.
I had never been in the Starwood before, like, we hung around outside, but I’ve never been inside. It’s not such a hot place, I mean the Bands are alright, the girls are pretty (I still think you cuter than any of the girls there) the drugs are cool but it’s not a place I would want to waste my life at. The most exciting part of the night was, a guy mouthed off to this black guy, and the black got a hundred friends and chased him around all Hollywood. It’s a pretty crazy place. I’m going there next week to see Quiet Riot, because I hear there pretty good. One of these days I’ll play there.
Love you
Saul

HAVE A NICE DAY

This leaf was perfect untill I put the fucking lines in it
Let me start off by saying, I am not a fan of Insane Clown Posse. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Napalm Death, Cannibal Corpse, and on occasion some Severe Torture. But ICP just hasn’t made it past my crap filter.(still, not as bad as Brokenctde) My encounters with their fans(Juggalos) has consistently been less than congenial. They are obnoxious, belligerent, short pants wearing sociopaths who would gladly dangle a baby above rabid Pit Bulls and have the video up on MySpace within minutes. But, whether you love or hate them, there is one sure thing. They are not boring. They revel in pissing off everybody equally and they are damn good at it. My most memorable Juggalo moment was at Rock And Shock 2009 at the DCU Center in Worcester, MA. The bottom floor of the convention center was the horror festival, the top floor was a High School Cheerleading competition. ICP was playing up the street at The Palladium that night. Juggalos like to get to the venue early, to make sure they get in, and to vandalize the surrounding area. But that day the Palladium was having none of it, so they dispersed the make up clad pack of society’s dingleberries, which sent them in the direction of the DCU Center. The Rock And Shock crowd could handle them. The Juggalos blended right in with attendees dressed as Freddy Kruger and Pinhead. But a few found their way into Cheerleading central. Imagine a group of kittens and their overbearing cheer parents being besieged by a group of things that look and act like the little psycho voodoo doll in “Trilogy Of Terror”. As the Juggalos gnashed there discolored teeth at the cream of school spirit I thought, “This is natural”. The Chinese call it Yin Yang. Each group, while completely opposite, actually were interconnected, giving reason for each others existence. Then I thought, “Nah, these guys are just assholes”. But again, they were first-rate.
Blabbermouth reported: STONE TEMPLE PILOTS unveiled their first new album in nine years at a private listening party on Tuesday night (February 23) in New York City. The entire band was in attendance at the event, with The Pulse of Radio‘s reporter on the scene saying that singer Scott Weiland “looked the best he’s looked in a long time.” All 12 tracks from the album were aired, with The Pulse of Radio reporter calling the record “a natural, melodic progression for STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, with BEATLES-esque harmonies, a lot of in-your-face, hard-rocking tracks, plenty of guitar solos and some astounding singing from Weiland.”
The yet-to-be-titled album, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS ‘s sixth, will be out June 1.
STONE TEMPLE PILOTS reunited in 2008 after a six-year layoff. The band’s last album, “Shangri-La-Dee-Da”, came out in 2001.
The PILOTS will also tour throughout the spring and summer, with Weiland hinting in a recent interview that the band might mount its own festival.
The disc will be issued through Atlantic Records, although Weiland told The Pulse of Radio at the time of the band’s 2008 reunion tour that he was interested in exploring other options outside the traditional music industry. “When we first talked about putting STP back together, it was do this tour and then see about doing a creative deal with another company, like an all-in deal,” he said. “And, you know, if you look at even like RADIOHEAD and a handful of other bands, they make more money doing things in an unconventional fashion as opposed to doing it, you know, with the major labels.”
Bassist Robert DeLeo said about the new disc, “Fans are going get a great STP record . . . a really cohesive record with songs that are going to be lasting.”
What do you think? Are you excited about the new STP album?
The album spotlights not one, but two lead singles: the incendiary title cut “Rise Up”, which features Tom Morello (who co-wrote and co-produced the song) and “Armada Latina”, a hip-hop-flavored track spiced with vocals by Marc Anthony and Pitbull and production by Jim Jonsin (LIL WAYNE, BEYONCE).

“Rise Up” is CYPRESS HILL‘s first new album in six years and the first release being issued through Priority/EMI. Priority Records creative chairman Snoop Dogg signed the band to the label. The follow-up to 2004′s “Till Death Do Us Part”, “Rise Up” was recorded over the course of the past three years at B-Real‘s studio, The Temple, in Los Angeles.
CYPRESS HILL (emcees B-Real and Sen Dog, DJ Julio G and percussionist Eric Bobo), is one of the most successful and influential hip-hop/rock groups in music history, with more than 18 million worldwide sales, an amazing string of chart-topping hits and an international fanbase whose members number in the millions. They’ve headlined Lollapalooza, been named “Best Rap Group” by Rolling Stone, collaborated with the likes of PEARL JAM and SONIC YOUTH, hit No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart and have had their music licensed for a plethora of TV shows, commercials and films. CYPRESS HILL was also the first Latino hip hop group to be certified platinum.
We’ve all made mistakes, right? We’ve all been there, making a billion dollars a year on a pseudo-sport, getting hooked on muscle relaxers and anti-anxiety-medicine, picking up any cocktail waitress that has an IQ less than 23. I’ve never had my wife beat me with a golf club(unless I asked first). She did throw a bottle at me once, but she missed. The artist who remixed Tiger’s “apology” is a genius. He actually captured what this billion dollar bozo was saying. “I’m sorry i got caught, please keep paying me to play golf.”
Well, I held off long enough! I’ve watched numerous record execs, sales people and DJ’s etc. become virtual SLAVES to their PDA’s! They’ve said… Don’t get one, it’s like CRACK!
Well, I finally gave in and they were right!
After all, I’ve got Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter to update for you!
Plus, I can take WAAF anywhere I go with Flycast!
So, I got myself an iPhone!
And now… I’m looking, (not just looking more like obsessed) with APPS!
So, I’m looking for your suggestions! What do you like? Hate? LOVE? What can’t you live without!
Send your suggestions my way!
It’s hard not to talk about Kurt Cobain!
He would have been 43 on 2/20/2010
Nirvana was one of the most influencial bands of the 90′s. It spawned the Foo Fighters, Hole and helped the Grunge movement become one of the most loved musical genre’s to this day!
With STP back together, AIC finding a new lead singer, Soundgarden reuniting and Pearl Jam going strong… You can’t help but think what could have been!
Courtney Love has a new Hole album on the way, and her only child (with Kurt) Frances Bean Cobain announced her signing debut, there’s no chance that the legacy of Kurt will soon be forgotten!
So, what would he look like today?
Take a look at this!
What do you think? Accurate?
Once again WAAF is a proud sponsor of the Passion Plunge. An event featuring hundreds of what seem to be right minded people jumping into near freezing waters to support a good and important cause. Both LB(from the Hill-Man Morning Show) and I have been participants many times. This year LB will be plunging into the icy waters at Revere Beach and I will be diving into the slightly warmer waters at Nantasket beach in beautiful Hull on March 6th. Why do we and hundreds of others subject themselves to extreme temperature drops, near hypothermia, and for the men, extreme shrinkage? Because it’s something we all believe is a good an important cause. The Special Olympics helps nearly 12,000 children and adults with intellectual disabilities participate in Olympic type sporting events in Massachusetts. These Olympians learn teamwork, physical fitness, and skills that will help them through life. Most importantly it gives them a sense of pride. These athletes work hard. All of the Olympians I’ve met over the years have all been very proud of their accomplishments. The Special Olympics Of Massachusetts does not charge a fee to participate. They seek out potential participants and help them train with 1600 coaches. There are also the thousands of volunteers that make this possible. With little or no financial help from State or Federal sources they need alot of help keeping up the quality of the training and the events. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Check the Passion Plunge website to donate or participate, or just stop by and watch the Plungers run screaming from the harbor. Sometimes they do it in costume. I can tell you from personal experience that it feels like millions of tiny shards of glass being jammed into you skin as it hits the water. That’s on a warm day when the water is like, 38F. But it is well worth it.
