Well the US elections are now over and Earth is a far better place. Can’t you feel the world shattering difference? Even the Red Planet has been held spellbound by these historic events.
We just spotted the Mars Lander putting billboards up on Mars with CHANGE spelled out in mile high letters. You should grab your binoculars and check this out.
Just look up. But you should be prepared to duck if you see any tools tumbling towards you from the international space station. Some stupid astronaut let his monkey wrench float away. On second thought, you should activate your Star Wars Defense System and blast the international space station out of existence! You can’t be too careful.
Many years ago I cashed my first paycheck from my first shit job and went to a little record store where I found a copy of the 7" with "melcher" and "up around the bend". I really dug it and a year or so later was really excited when I found out Doc Hopper would be playing in Hartford, CT. We got there and there were at least 12 opening bands, all of them really bad ska-punk bands, as was the style at the time. After enduring this 8-hour onslaught of mediocre ska, at last it was time for Doc Hopper. Except it wasn't Doc Hopper, it was a local pop-punk band I'd already seen 80,000 times. No explanation was offered. Thanks, guys!
I vote for "Stepchildren of Rock, 2008"... with a special DVD release. Who the fuck plays in Baltimore anyway??? All the real Doc Hopper/Weston shows were in Western Mass!
