Rockers Papa Roach hit the scene in 2000 with their most successful studio album, Infest. Six albums later, they are still headlining tours and festivals across the country including this weekend's Rock on the Range in Columbus.
I was able to catch up with the man behind the music, Jacoby Shaddix, the lead vocalist. The two discussed the hard times and redemption that led to Papa Roach's most recent album, The Connection, released late last year.
Papa Roach plays Rock on the Range's Main Stage Saturday
afternoon, getting the night ready for Three Days Grace, Stone Sour and
The Smashing Pumpkins. Find full Rock on the Range details here.
CityBeat: What is your favorite Rock on the Range memory?
Jacoby Shaddix: Shit man, coming in headlining the second stage and utterly fucking demolishing it and being the only band asked back the next year to play the Main Stage and crushing it again.
CB: If you could trade places with anybody for one month who would it be?
JS: My wife.
CB: Why?
JS: I just want both of us to live our lives in each other's shoes for a month. I think we both would learn a lot. I know that it is not the super mega-kick ass Rock star answer, but that is some real shit.
CB: I know you wrote the last album through some of the toughest times of your life. Are any of the songs hard to play for you personally?
JS: No, they are just really good reminders. It is like I had to re-calibrate my life and re-focus myself on what my priorities were in my life and what was important to me and where I wanted to put myself five years from now and 10 years from now. All the decisions I made in the process of making this record I believe are some of the most important decisions that I'll make in my lifetime. I think the songs are real good reminders of that desperate place that I once was.
CB: Well my favorite song on the album when it came out was "Where Did the Angels Go"…
JS: We had a No. 1 Rock track with that song, which was fucking awesome.
CB: Can you tell me the story behind the song?
JS: As we were making the record, me and my wife had split up at that time and I was strung out again. It is no secret that I have substance abuse issues and I was caught up again and I finally decided that enough is enough. I had to stop and that just utter desperation of hanging on to life by a thread and just feeling completely alone and so broken and not really knowing if I was going to be OK. I just finally realized how much my demons ate me alive and it was time to get myself back and that is where that song came from, utter desperation.
CB: Is it hard to be on the road and stay sober?
JS: Not this time around. It used to be really hard. I have a network of sober musicians I stay really close with and I have a support group through that.
It is finally clear to me in my life I can't fucking drink, I can't do drugs, because it eats me alive. I am finally on the road enjoying my life. I faced a lot of demons in the process of getting sober again and I finally put a lot of stuff to rest. I am trying to work on being in the moment, like some of that Buddhist-type culture philosophy — if I am not here now then what is the point? If I am not feeling the moment, then what is the point of my life. Just focusing on that, my spirituality makes all this other stuff that goes on out here on the road way more tolerable and way more fun.
CB: Have you ever had an experience that led you to believe in angels?
JS: I don't necessarily have a grasp on the idea of angels. I have an understanding of people that have come like saviors in a sense, people that have been sent to me by my higher power to show me and guide me out of the darkness. I had to be broken down to realize I needed help.
CB: People have shown up at the right time?
JS: Yes.
CB: If you could ask one question to a psychic about your future what would you ask?
JS: I wouldn't ask anything. I wouldn't want to know. What do you want to know? Are you going to live different or some shit? I'd rather let it be. Let the future be what it is going to be.
CB: What does your perfect day look like?
JS: Perfect day — wake up next to my wife, sex right off the bat. Then go downstairs and cook breakfast for my kids, take them to school, go for a run, dance with my wife, go fishing with my brother-in-law in the bayou swamp, stretch out and warm up, play a Rock & Roll show, then fall asleep next to my wife. That sounds pretty fucking kick ass.
CB: I know your songs that you write are very autobiographical. Have you considered writing a book or a memoir in the future?
JS: Oh definitely, that is something I am going to definitely do in my life. 100 percent.
CB: No immediate plans?
JS: No immediate plans, but I have put pen to paper. It is something that I can craft as I go along.
CB: What can the fans expect this weekend at Rock on the Range?
JS: A fan that is on fucking fire. We have been doing these festivals, May is a big festival month, and we have been fucking annihilating audiences. We just devastated Carolina Rebellion, just ripped that shit up, we had a great show. Fort Rock in Florida, Rockville down in Florida. Memphis in May was awesome at the Beale Street Festival. That was rippin'. I just feel like we are tuned up and primed for these big festivals. I have to say, all these other bands, bring your fucking A-game because P Roach is coming to town and we have come to rip it.
CB: Memphis was awesome. I saw most of the set. It was awesome. It was great as always. I look forward to shooting you guys again. Smile for the camera on Saturday.
JS: Fuck yeah. Cool. We will see you Saturday.
Halestorm shows everybody out there that a female can rock with the guys. Lzzy Hale, Revolver Magazine's reining "Hottest Chick in Hard Rock," along with her brother Arejay, started the band back in 1999 and they have been on an upward trajectory ever since. This past February, the band received its first Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance for the song "Love Bites… (And So Do I)," which made history as the first song by a female-fronted group to top the Active Rock radio airplay chart.
Halestorm has been headlining shows across the country in support of The Strange Case Of…, the band's second studio album. The group will be performing at this weekend's Rock on the Range in Columbus on Saturday, playing the Main Stage alongside Papa Roach, Bullet For My Valentine, Three Days Grace, Stone Sour and The Smashing Pumpkins. Click here for full Rock on the Range info.
CityBeat: A lot has happened since I saw you guys in the fall. My first question is … where are you keeping your Grammy?
Lzzy Hale: You know what is funny — we actually don't have them yet. It's not quite real. We have been on the road so they have not been delivered yet. We have to sign a contract to make sure we aren't going to do anything stupid with it. I have no idea where I am going to put it. My mom thinks it should be at her house. I'm like, "No, Mom, it comes with me."
CB: You could put in your bunk (on the bus). That's where you live anyway.
LH: Yeah. Very true.
CB: I know you just collaborated with David Draiman (of Disturbed) on the classic Ozzy and Lita song "Close Your Eyes." What was the best part of doing that for you?
LH: It is such a cool thing. David Draiman has been such a champion of our band for the last couple years. He has been holding the Halestorm flag high. What a nice dude and always there for advice. He has sort of become this pseudo-big brother of mine the last couple years.
It is kind of surreal, a little bit, because I know this guy, but after singing with him and doing this duet, I find myself talking to my little brother and saying, "Remember when The Sickness came out and we went out and got that record, and we knew every word on that record." We were huge Disturbed fans when we were kids. We still are, I should say. It is such an amazing honor to be asked to do that and what an incredible lineup on the entire record. Being the new kid on the block as far as the guest vocals are concerned is quite humbling, honestly.
CB: Were you nervous about re-recording that song?
LH: A little bit. There is always something in the back of your mind when you are recording a classic like that. You don't want to ruin it. I am such fan for Lita Ford and Ozzy Osbourne and that whole era of music is really close to my heart. I was only hoping that we could do it justice. It was really David who put my mind at ease with that because as soon as I heard what he was doing with (it), I realized it was special, really special.
It is so weird, but when we were listening to the final mix of it, both David and I got goosebumps in the exact same spot of the song. We were like "Whoa! There is something about this song. We did something right." I am happy we did it. I just sang it live with him for the first time at Carolina Rebellion. We are going to be doing it together again live. It's truly magical. Not to sound cheesy, but it does hold a special place in my heart.
CB: Can we look forward to that at Rock on the Range?
LH: Oh, yes. Hell yes.
CB: I have seen you guys many times at ROTR over the years. What is your favorite Rock on the Range moment?
LH: Oh my God. The people that put that on are such nice people. We have been asked back for many years. The first time we were ever playing at Rock on the Range we were at the Jager Stage, then we were on the second stage, then last year we were first or second on the main stage.
I am telling you this, to be a part of this event, I am speaking for myself and all of my peers, we look forward to this festival. Not only is it a hell of a lot fun to play, but we get to see each other. I get to see all of my friends perform that I never get to see because we are all out on the road. It is this huge family reunion and this party from like 9 a.m. to whenever people decide to go home. It's so wonderful and it keeps getting better every year, like last year was the best ever for me, but then the year before that was the best. I look forward to this time because maybe it will top last year. It is such a well-run event and the highlight of festival season.
CB: Are you going to be able to keep track of Arejay during the event?
LH: Nobody can ever keep track of Arejay. Are you kidding me? The phrase "Where's Arejay?" is the phrase of the millennium. It's awesome. He is the most incredible human being because he will be standing next you and you will be talking to him, you (turn) around and you're talking to somebody else and you turn back to where Arejay was once standing and, poof, he is gone. He is a little Houdini. I love him. He is legendary. I am sure there will be many stories about Arejay at Rock on the Range.
CB: I saw recently you did an interview for a Playboy series online. Would you ever consider posing for the magazine if they asked you?
LH: I haven't really been asked that a lot. I was thinking about it the other day. I guess I would have to cross that bridge when I come to it. It depends what it is and what it is for and how tasteful it would be. I am not going to say no, but I would have to cross that bridge when I came to it.
CB: I know you guys are recording a second Covers EP. Why did you guys decide to record a second covers record?
LH: We just recorded a few months ago and are starting to get mixes back now. We love doing that stuff, just being able to re-create your favorite songs, break them down and build them up as your own. Regardless of how fun it is, you learn a lot as a musician, about how you work and you're learning your favorite songs and how to rebuild them from the ground up in your own way and try to find a new way to approach the songs which is kind of a challenge. We had a lot of fun doing it.
I don't know when it is going to be released yet. It is probably going to be a couple months. When you see the final list of what we chose for this one, there will be probably some that you could predict and there are a few tracks you are going to look at the title of the song and the artist it's by and you are going to go, "What? Why did they choose that song?" Then you can judge for yourself whether you like what we did. Either way it is going to be fun to see what everybody thinks about it.
CB: Are there any habits you would like to break?
LH: Yes, daily. My procrastination; I should practice more; I shouldn't have had that cake at Josh's birthday. I'm one of those people that does not care what everybody else thinks, but I do care a lot about how I feel about myself. I go through phases where I will have tunnel-vision and be determined and then I will be in the middle of tour and be like, "Screw it, I am going to finish this bottle of wine." I think this time in my life I am starting to get my shit together and have more control over my vices. I am starting to exercise more and starting to be a little more responsible in my life, which is a battle, because I think I am perpetually 14 years old inside. I'm trying to be a grown up but still hold onto that fire.
CB: I love the story you have behind the "Rock Show" song and how you got inspired by it. Could you talk about that a little bit?
LH: Of course. To start that off, we got a lot of physical letters from fans, not the tweets and Facebook posts but a lot of handwritten letters — who does that anymore? — with a pencil. We get a lot of letters every day and it has increased in the past couple years. They are so incredibly inspiring. You get to see how you affect these people. You get to see and hear their stories. It is really, really humbling and really exciting for me because those stories start seeping their way into my subconscious.
A lot of the new songs I have written have been for a specific fan or another because it is interesting to see what these people go through in daily life and relate it to your own. It makes me feel less alone to be a part of their lives and they have welcomed us with open arms into their private life. I respect the hell out of that because it takes a lot of guts to do that.
Specifically for "Rock Show," we received this letter. I don't know how this little girl got the address to our studio, but she did. She wrote me this beautiful letter about her first Rock show, which happened to be Halestorm, and it was because of that show she picked up guitar and, long story short, she really shreds. She can play Eddie Van Halen's "Eruption." It is really cool to see. She was like 13 years old at the time. It is beautiful, almost like that show was a religious experience. It changed the course of her life and she finally knows what she wants to do and is starting a band.
I remember taking this letter into the studio and telling the guys we have to write a song for her. The title was called "Rock Show," and we literally built this song around this letter we received and then we ended up thanking her in the notes as the next surprise so she will forever be in the artwork of our record because of that. It is wonderful to do that for those people, to give back, because it is a give and take. We wouldn't be able to do what we love without these little girls and little boys and everybody that comes to our show. It is wonderful to be able to do small things like write a song for them or thank them.
CB: What are the characteristics that make a great Halestorm song?
LH: Lately, it has been more about honesty. What I never thought I would accomplish in this band, we kind of have in the last couple years. Halestorm is becoming the identity for some of these kids. It is something to stand for. It is something to look up to. I've been much more free to let more people into my life and trying to be a good example and be that shining beacon of empowerment for some of these people. I needed that when I was a kid. I looked up to a lot of my parent's music because it was tough not to find anybody that wasn't singing about death or "I hate my parents" when I was a kid. I remember needing that. I needed somebody that I could say, "I am going to be like that. If they can do it, so can I."
I think there definitely always has to be an element of empowerment in what we do, in the music we write, but then you have to pair that with the honesty that you are human and that we are all the same. You are encouraging people to take the risk and to carve out their own path and be themselves. It is all we have learned about diving right into this business. We have learned so much about ourselves and how to be comfortable in our own skin. If we can pass that along, that's something we strive for.
Buckcherry has been epitomizing Hard Rock since the late '90s. The band recently started touring behind its sixth studio album, Confessions, adding to a great and energy filled set-list, alongside crowd favorites and major hits "Crazy Bitch" and "Lit Up."
CityBeat had a chance to speak with enigmatic Buckcherry singer Josh Todd in preparation for the band's set at Rock on the Range in Columbus this weekend (May 17-19). Buckcherry takes to the stage Friday night alongside Hollywood Undead, Cheap Trick and Korn. Click here for more Rock on the Range info.
CityBeat: I have seen you at Rock on the Range many years. What is your favorite Rock on the Range moment from the past?
Josh Todd: One year we were there performing "Lit Up" or "Crazy Bitch," I can't remember, and a guy in a wheelchair started crowd surfing. That was a pretty memorable moment.
CityBeat: You guys just came off a tour with Kid Rock recently, which is a great match. What was your craziest tour story?
JT: Surprisingly, it was a pretty tame tour. We didn't have too many backstage parties. The coolest thing we did, Bob — Kid Rock — invited Keith and I to his place in Alabama. We got to go and do some skeet shooting and eat some barbeque. I had a lot of deer meat which I hadn't had in a long time, a lot of deer jerky. So that was a lot of fun.
CB: I was just covering the Kid Rock cruise and he was singing "Crazy Bitch." It was a cool moment, one of my favorite songs with him singing.
JT: Yeah. I don't know what to think of that. I'm flattered, you know, but it is kind of strange since we were on tour with him. I think it is cool because he loves the song.
CB: I want to talk about the record a little bit. I know Confessions is loosely based on the seven deadly sins. Which sin do you think is the worst?
JT: The worst or the most hard to manage?
CB: Either is fine?
JT: Probably lust, especially when you have been in a Rock band since you were 15 … it is something that comes up a lot.
CB: I know "Sloth" was written about your experience with your Father's suicide. Is it ever hard to perform that live?
JT: I have never performed that live. We are working on it right now. We have six records. We have 80 some odd songs to really sift through. The songs we have performed off Confessions so far are "Wrath" "Gluttony" "Greed" "Air" and "Nothing Left but Tears." We will get there eventually. I don't think it will be hard for me because I just got a lot of great feedback from a lot of people who really connected to that song. That makes it a lot easier for me. It was real tough to record, but I think now it will be all right.
CB: Are there any habits you would like to break?
JT: Yeah. I struggle with sugar. So, yeah, not so much sugar.
CB: I know your songs are very autobiographical. Is there anything you have regretted writing about in any of your 80 songs?
JT: Since I write all the lyrics, it is kind of therapeutic for me to get out what is going on inside of me and somehow make it where a lot of people can relate to it. That is the challenge of the songwriter, to take a piece of your personal life and the lives around you and try to create a song where lots and lots of people can remember. That is the fun of it and also the challenge of it all.
CB: What does your perfect day look like?
JT: A perfect day would be to be home with my family. Just getting to spend time with them is a perfect day to me because I tour so much. To be home with my family is great.
CB: Is there anybody you would like to trade places with for a month?
JT: Yeah, I would like to be Kyle Busch for a day.
CB: Oh, a race car. Do you have fast cars?
JT: Yeah, I race fast go-carts. I have a race cart at home. I race that as much as I can. I did a NASCAR experience out here in Fontana and that was a lot of fun. I have always wanted to race an oval track race in a stock car. That would be amazing.
CB: Can you tell us what the fans should expect from your set at Rock on the Range?
JT: They can expect what we always deliver — their money's worth.
CB: Are you going to be performing any of the new album?
JT: We will be performing "Gluttony" "Wrath" and "Nothing Left but Tears," which is going to be the new single. Plus, we have to get to a lot of other songs. I don't know how long our set is, but depending on how long our set is, we have been doing "Greed" recently and it is really great live now.
Singer/guitarist Glen Campbell is truly Country music's "Rhinestone Cowboy." Starting out as a masterful, much-used session musician, in the '60s and '70s, Campbell represented the genre as one of its premier stars and was also embraced on the pop charts, scoring huge crossover hits with singles like "Wichita Lineman," "Galveston," "Southern Nights" and "Rhinestone Cowboy."
This past year, Campbell's 50 years in the music business was celebrated at the Grammys, where he was given the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and honored with a musical tribute by The Band Perry and Blake Shelton that was capped off by Campbell joining the musicians for a version of "Rhinestone Cowboy."
After his Alzheimer's diagnosis in the summer of 2011, Campbell decided to hit the road one last time while he still could. After releasing the collaborative album Ghost on the Canvas (featuring covers of songs by modern artists like Jakob Dylan, Teddy Thompson, Paul Westerberg and Guided By Voices' Robert Pollard), Campbell kicked off his extensive "Goodbye Tour," which comes to the Taft Theatre in downtown Cincinnati this Sunday. For ticket info, click here.
CityBeat was privileged to have the opportunity to speak with Campbell about changes in music from when he started to today and how close he stays with his family on tour.
CityBeat: How did you choose songs and artists to collaborate with on Ghost on the Canvas?
Glen Campbell: Julian Raymond is my producer. He found the majority of the material. However, he kept notes of things I said or did and some of this material makes its way into the album. (Closing track) "There's No Me…Without You" is an example of this.
CB: What has it been like to see the changes in music technology from vinyl to 8-track to cassette to CD to IPod? Do you think music sounds better or worse with the new technology, analog vs. digital?
GC: It has been wonderful to see all of the technological advances with recorded music. I think the music sounds better with the new technology.
CB: You are often highly autobiographical in your own songs. Do you regret ever sharing any of your stories through your music or songs?
GC: I have no regrets about the autobiographical songs I recorded.
CB: Are your children still on tour with you? What is the best part of having them on the road with you?
GC: My son plays drums for me. Shannon is on guitar and Ashley plays keyboards and bass. It's wonderful sharing the stage with them. I love it. They are terrific musicians in their own right. The best part of having them with me is that our whole family and my wife Kim are all together and doing great shows which people have warmly embraced.
CB: What is your favorite guitar solo on any recording that you have done?
GC: One of my favorite guitar solos I recorded was for Frank Sinatra on his "Strangers in the Night." I also like my guitar solo on "Wichita Lineman." Jimmy Webb never finished the song so I just filled the hole with the guitar solo.
CB: What is your favorite guitar to play?
GC: Ovation.
CB: What is the longest time you have gone without playing guitar?
GC: I play every day.
CB: Would you ever consider playing with a Beach Boys reunion? (Campbell filled in for Brian Wilson on tour in the mid-'60s and recorded on Pet Sounds and other records.)
GC: I would not want to do a Beach Boys reunion at this point. They just celebrated their 50 years together with a big tour. I think that more than covered it.
CB: How has music helped you cope or deal with your Alzheimer's diagnosis?
GC: The music has brought me much joy and comfort.
Formed in 1978, Classic Punk band Social Distortion reached the height of its fame in the late '80s and early '90s. The band has seven studio albums beginning with its iconic Mommy's Little Monster. Although there has been over a dozen ex-Social D members, the group — known as a touring juggernaut (sometimes at the expense of making new music) — has maintained a lineup that has been fairly consistent for the past decade.
CityBeat caught up with rhythm guitarist Jonny "2 Bags" Wickersham in anticipation of Social D's current tour. The group performs at Bogart's on Saturday (Oct. 13) night and will surely wow fans new and old.
CityBeat: I know Mike (Ness) has said in the past we won't have to wait seven or eight years for a new Social D record. Are you guys working on new music right now? How is that coming along?
Jonny Wickersham: In a perfect situation we would love to get a record out sooner than we have been putting them out. I don't know that it looks like it will happen real soon. We have been really busy touring the last couple of years. As far as new material there are always new songs in the works. We will work on them at sound checks and rehearsals. When it comes time to get serious to put a record together, the songs that stick in our minds are the ones that are the best stuff and they typically make the record. We will finish it up. We will see. Conceivably we can get together and start really getting serious in the beginning of next year and have a record to follow shortly after that. It has to feel right. I have always felt it is a good thing not to rush records. I know that people like to see a record come out on a certain schedule with bands, but it is also good to evolve a little bit as people and as a band in between albums.
CB: You spend most of the time as a touring band on the road. Do you ever write down the tour stories or keep mementos from the tour to remember them all?
JW: I have never been a big journal keeper or anything like that. I don't. Certain stories definitely do stick in your mind but not really.
CB: What current music or music you are listening to right now is currently inspiring you?
JW: You know what a really great record is, the new Hot Water Music Record, have you heard that?
CB: No.
JW: I have been listening to a lot of that in my car.
CB: Good driving music?
JW: Oh yeah. It is such a great album. It really is good. I also like the Drive By Truckers a lot. I don't listen to a lot of new music to be honest. I listen to a lot of old Blues and stuff and old Rock N Roll.
CB: From your standpoint, what are the characteristics that make a good Social D song?
JW: I would have to say a good riff and a good lyric that is poppin'. You can't go wrong with a good lyric. You can try to stretch that a bit, not just stay with our formula as a band. We have a different division of sounds with the band. We are not trying to re-invent sound in an extreme manner or anything but it is good to try to mix it up. I am hoping in the future, in the stuff coming up, we can do that and re-visit some of the earlier stuff.
CB: We are heading into a critical election year. Ohio is a crazy place to be during this whole thing. Do you guys have any political views or support for any of the candidates?
JW: Well, I am going to vote for Obama and hope for the best.
CB: What is the worst job you have ever had?
JW: I don't know. I had a job at the Orange County jail once a long time ago. We had to cut the bunks down from three bunks to two and carry them all out to the loading dock and get them out of the jail. Any job where you are locked up is not a great job. I had so many jobs growing up. I started working in construction fields at a really young age because where I come from that is just what you did when you got to the age of going out to get a job, try to get a construction trade. I have also worked at Carl's Jr. and Burger King as a teenager and neither one of those jobs lasted more than a couple weeks. I have worked as a stagehand. I have worked in an Art Department building sets for film production. Those are cool jobs. I really liked the Art Department work. Any job that anybody could have at this point is a good job is kind of how I feel. I definitely never want to think I am beyond any kind of work. You never know what is going to happen in life. There are times where being able to get any job is critical for you.
CB: Do you have any scars?
JW: I have a scar on my upper leg. When I was a little kid, me and a couple friends built this bicycle Motocross track on a dirt lot by our house in our neighborhood. We went out and worked really hard with shovels and built this really cool track and the enemy kids down the street, who were our nemesis, came over one day when we weren't there and totally ruined our track, kicked in all our berms and jumps and trashed it. So we went down the street where they had built this really shitty tree fort that was like three stories tall off the ground into the tree. We went up there and we started hammering at it, we brought sledgehammers over and we started bashing in their tree fort. The stupid thing on our part was that we started on the bottom and climbed up to the next level and up to the next level. We were breaking this tree fort apart and we were way up at the top and the thing collapsed. I fell and my leg got clipped up on a nail. It ripped my leg open so I have a scar. I have a bunch of other scars too.
CB: What is the last thing you do before you go to sleep?
JW: Well it depends. Turn out the television if I have been watching the television. I don't always watch TV at night. Sometimes I do. If I am on the bus on the tour, I listen to music on my iPod. The last thing I do is turn that on and I usually fall asleep listening to a record. Then I have to wake up and pull the headphones off and fall back asleep. If I'm reading a book, close the book and turn out the light. It can be one of many different things.
Journey is a legendary Rock act from the '70s/'80s, but the band is not done yet. The group put out its 15th album, Eclipse, last year, Journey's second effort with current lead singer Arnel Pineda, and is currently out on tour with fellow '80s hitmakers Pat Benatar and Loverboy. The band's classic music is standing the test of time and crowds still react emotionally to its vast catalog of hits, as well as some of the new music selections.
CityBeat spoke with keyboard player Jonathan Cain, who is now in his fourth decade with the band, and discussed how he was influenced to write one of Journey's biggest hits, as well as how the band stays relevant in today's ever changing musical landscape.
Journey performs the final concert of Riverbend Music Center's season tomorrow (Friday).
CityBeat: You guys have been touring on Eclipse for the past year. Are you guys working on new material yet?
Jonathan Cain: No, we are just settling into the touring aspect of things right now. We worked pretty hard on the last one and thought it was time to focus in. I recently had a child and (guitarist) Neal (Schon) has been going through all his things with Michaele (Salahi). We have been busy. I just opened a new studio in Nashville called Eviction Sound. We have been focusing on all the stuff we have to do. It's a balance deal. We'll start working on new music eventually.
CB: You mentioned some of the personal issues with Neal and Michaele. (Salahi, a former Real Housewives of D.C. star, left her husband for Schon in a very public "love triangle" soap opera.) Has any of that gotten in the way of the band's activities?
JC: No. Not at all. They are getting through it and still in love. It's all good.
CB: Any fond Cincinnati memories from the past?
JC: Fond Cincinnati memories? I have had some nice encounters with the fans down at the hotel bar there; closing the bar there would be the response. I do enjoy going to the ball games as well. Cincinnati always has a pretty good baseball team.
CB: I was recently covering the CMT Awards in Nashville and saw the performance with Rascal Flatts. How did that collaboration take place?
JC: The Rascal Flatts thing came about because we have a mutual friend. I play golf with one of the guys who produces the CMT Awards. He asked me one time on the golf course, "Who do you think Journey should do a (CMT's cross-genre showcase) Crossroads with?" And I said, "Honestly I think Rascal Flatts best fits with the sound Journey does," and he agreed. We talked to their senior management and the rest was history. We will probably do a Crossroads together at some point.
CB: I couldn't get the song out of my head for four days after that night.
JC: It's one of those hummers. Every band needs one.
CB: My favorite Journey song ever is "Faithfully." I know you wrote that song. Can you talk me through that process to put that song together?
JC: Basically, the song was written on the road. I was in Saratoga, NY, in upstate New York. We had just come off the bus and I was feeling a certain way watching the crew take the stuff down every night with the riggers and the roadies. I felt they needed to have a song and same with us. We all miss our family the same way. I don't care who you are in this business, you still sacrifice something to be out on the road. It's something I wrote for all of us.
It's a good ol' Country song that turned out to be a big ol' hit. (Original singer) Steve Perry actually wanted that on his solo album and I declined. I said, "Journey or bust." It was the last song we recorded on the Frontier album back in '83. We never even rehearsed it. That was live in the studio. That was the third take. Steve put his signature vocal on it.
I was thrilled to have penned that song, then we played it live and the fans came back with "I'm forever yours, faithfully." They turned it around and it was pretty cool.
CB: I have asked other artists about hits like that and they say, typically, the hits come out quickly. Was that the case with that one?
JC: Yeah, I wrote that in a half an hour on a napkin. It was very quick in the room. I woke up and I had started it. I wish I still had the napkin. I don't have it. Then there was the keyboard I had on my bed I used to bump around ideas on. It was one of those Casio keyboards you just take in your suitcase. When I got to the gig, I got a real piano backstage at the Saratoga Performance Arts Center and sort of flushed it out.
The first time I did the demo, I was working with Keith Olson back in L.A. and he let me record it just by myself and that was what I played for everybody. He played it for the girls from Heart. He said Nancy (Wilson, guitarist) cried when she heard it. I thought that was a good sign. I guess they liked it.
CB: I saw on your website that you share blogs and journal entries. Have you kept journals all through your touring years?
JC: No, I should. I sort of dropped the ball on that one. I am getting inspired to write a new one. A lot has happened since the last one. I want to update the fans. It just may take on the highlights.
We have just had this movie released Every Man's Journey. We debuted it at the Tribeca Film Festival and San Francisco Film Festival. It's a documentary that was made by a Filipino lady that heard about Arnel (also Filipino) joining our band. So she came out on our tour. She spent her last four years following our buses around, coming to rehearsals. So they finally put a movie together. That was really exciting to attend and it really helped him solidify himself as he has evolved as an entertainer and a star. You see it actually happen, I think they are going to release it next Spring. It is really something. It is a neat story. We are proud of him.
CB: I find it very inspiring you welcomed someone new into the band and are so supportive of them moving forward.
JC: It was kind of a no-brainer. The guy can sing better than anyone can sing it. We went, "You know what. Let's go with this guy." We loved his heart. We loved the man as a father. The whole package. He makes us better. He is great.
CB: I saw in your journals you were blogging about South America and other places. I wish I had written down all my travel stories over the years. What has been your most memorable travel story recently?
JC: Actually, the European thing with my son was really great. We went to Europe and he went on the road with me and we got to go to some pretty incredible places. We played golf together in Scotland. There was this incredible experience, everything from the Eiffel Tower to the Royal Palace of Stockholm and to see it with your son is pretty darn cool. We went to San Salvatore, about a mile up and you look out from the Swiss Alps and it is breathtaking. I have to say that European trip was at the top of the list.
CB: Any habits you'd like to break?
JC: I probably drink too much wine.
CB: Any regrets over the years?
JC: No. I believe life is perfect. You live to learn from your mistakes and grow. If you regret something then lessons haven't been learned. Everything you regret is something you haven't accepted in life. Mistakes are chances to grow, chances to understand a deeper sense of who, what, and how you relate to the universe.
CB: Do you think Rock music is a dying art?
JC: No. I don't. It is a niche now. We are a niche now. We aren't as popular as we were but if you come to our show you can see it is alive and well. Just because the media has stiffed us doesn't mean we aren't out there in our own way. We are quietly playing for thousands and thousands of people. We have sold 800,000 tickets. It's crazy. It's a lot of people. It's a good show. Pat Benatar is on the bill. We have Loverboy opening up when it is the three of us. We are having fun. We are keeping things alive.
CB: Are you a political band? We are in a critical election time. Are you planning to back any candidates?
JC: No. We stay out of that. If they want us to play and pay us a bunch of money, we will play for them.
CB: Either candidate?
JC: We would. The bottom line is we have a lot of fans on both sides. That's my feeling. I'm tired of Republicans, I'm tired of Democrats. Let's just get the people together and get shit done instead of arguing and bickering. This is the worst Washington has ever been. That's just my take on it. (Journey reportedly was paid a half million dollars to perform during the Republican National Convention this year.)
CB: We are looking forward to you in Cincinnati. What can the fans look forward to that night?
JC: It is a cool mix of all of our stuff. Some new, some old. Great video, great lights. We have a new sound guy. Our P.A. sounds like a big, giant jukebox. I don't think we are too loud. I think we sound cool. I think we look pretty cool. They are going to see a great show. It is going to be a good first class Rock show with a lot of hits.
Il Volo — the popular Italian Opera trio from Sicily — features three teens with tenor voices so strong, they got America's attention after one of the best guest performances in the history of American Idol, singing "O Sole Mio" last year. They formed in 2009 and were received very well in their native country, performing with some of the biggest international superstars in their short history. The group consists of Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble. They are now set for their second U.S. tour which comes through Cincinnati tomorrow (Friday) night.
Il Volo is produced by long time industry veteran Tony Renis, who discovered the boys two years ago along with Grammy-winning producer Humberto Gatica (Michael Bublé, Josh Groban and Celine Dion).
CityBeat caught up with Gianluca Ginoble this week by phone to discuss his love of touring and how much he enjoys getting to do what he loves every day. He is just learning English but was able to provide a little insight into to the band's grueling tour schedule. Check out Il Volo at Riverbend's PNC Pavilion on Friday.
CityBeat: I know you were introduced to opera from family members growing up in Italy. How important is family tradition to you?
Gianluca Ginoble: My family is the most important thing because my Grandpa is my inspiration. It was him that introduced me to this kind of music. But I love others as well, like Michael Buble and Frank Sinatra. I love Opera, but I also I love other kinds of music too. To me family is the most important thing.
CB: You guys are going to start a long tour being away from home. Is it hard being on the road being away from friends and family or what is the hardest part for you?
GG: When I am home, I can't wait to do another tour because this is now my life. For me, it is like funny work because this is my passion. I am doing what I love to do, but when I am on tour I can't wait to come back to my house and my home because I miss the family, my Grandpa. My Grandma died six months ago and for me it was an amazing pain. He was very important for me.
CB: I am sorry to hear that. Are there any places on the tour in the United States that you are specifically looking forward to playing, the location or the venue?
GG: Yes, yes, yes. My favorite city is Los Angeles. New York as well, but Los Angeles is the city of the dreams and the star, the Walk of Fame, the Oscars. For me it is the best city.
CB: What has been your rehearsal process for the tour? What has that been like for you?
GG: We have prepared with eight or nine hour rehearsals daily.
CB: Every day?
GG: Yes, because this is our first concert and we are preparing. When we have the soundcheck before the concert it is just 20 minutes or 30 minute,s so we have major rehearsals to get ready.
CB: How do you take care of your voices?
GG: Yes always, our voices are the most important thing.
CB: Do you ever see the band crossing over to pop music or do you think you will stay with Opera?
GG: I don't know. We are open to many things. We did an American tour and it was wonderful, amazing because there were teenagers everywhere and in the U.S., in Miami, Los Angeles, New York and this is beautiful because it was our goal and this is a dream come true.
CB: Where do you see yourself or the band in 10 more years?
GG: I don't know. I hope all this can continue in this way but life is unpredictable.
CB: What is your favorite song to sing and perform?
GG: "Smile," a Charlie Chaplin song.
CB: What can the fans look forward to in Cincinnati at the show?
GG: It is going to be a very beautiful show with more surprises. We have changed some things and I think it is going to be amazing. We have three new songs, which are a surprise.
CB: How do stay connected to your fans with Facebook or Twitter?
GG: Always, always. I update my fans, our fans. I am always doing "Greetings from …" I upload the pictures.
CB: What are you looking forward to the most on the tour?
GG: The most beautiful thing is to meet the fans. When I look at the people and they are happy and when they listen to our singing and we can make them happy, it is just beautiful.
Five Finger Death Punch is one of the most popular Metal bands in the world. The band has a catchy, melodic sound that resonates with its crowds and the band's songs have become arena anthems across the country. Five Finger continues to tour on its third studio album American Capitalist. Currently, the group is out headlining the Trespass America Festival with the bands Trivium, Pop Evil and Killswitch Engage.
CityBeat was able to spend some time with the band's lead guitarist Jason Hook to discuss, among other things, the band's feverish tour schedule and the effect it has on the band members' relationships, as well as what makes the music so addictive. The Trespass America Festival comes to the PNC Pavilion at Riverbend tomorrow (Wednesday) night.
CityBeat: What has been the highlight of Trespass Festival so far?
Jason Hook: Well, the first show was awesome. We opened the show on Friday the 13th just outside of Denver. The place was almost sold out, packed. We had all of our friends, family, record label, managers and agents with us. It was a massive party (and) it was day one. It was awesome, really awesome.
CB: Who leaves the biggest mess backstage at Trespass?
JH: The biggest mess? As far as what, a hot mess or just messy?
CB: It could be either.
JH: I'll give both to Ivan (Moody, Five Finger's frontman).
CB: OK, I wouldn't picture that.
JH: Well you don't know him as well as I do.
CB: Is it true that he still throws up before he performs?
JH: I haven't seen that lately but it might be because I tend to steer clear of him a little bit more than usual because of that. But he does do that. That is not an urban legend.
CB: You consistently are having these hits with huge sports and military following. What is really the formula for creating a modern day Rock anthem?
JH: I think that you have to keep things simple. People like a really consistent beat, something that has a good thump to it. Obviously, an easy to follow storyline or a relatable storyline and as many hooks as you can get into each section of the song for example the intro, the verse, the pre-chorus, the chorus, the bridge, the solo — all those are sections — and if they get too long or drawn out or too complicated or the resolution set too high for the listener, they just miss out and it will go over their head. A big part of having an anthem is having something that is simple enough that many people can grab it easily like "Rock & Roll all night and party every day."
CB: Does the band ever write songs for a specific audience?
JH: Not really. Most of us in the band have a background where we grew up listening to heavy bands but bands that were also on the radio. That reflects in the music we make. None of it is really contrived. We just do what we like. Fortunate for us, it catches with a lot more people. Once you try to do something that is not honest, it is really hard to repeat it. You are always chasing or guessing what to do. It is better to know what you like to do and just do it.
You always have the crazy crowd surfing at the shows, the biggest Rock on the Range crowd surfing in history. Do you ever worry about fan safety?
JH: All the time. All the time. It freaks us out. I see people getting beat up pretty good out there, especially the people in the very front row because people crowd surf up from behind them, they can't see that these 220 pound guys are being launched forward and the people in the front row are the last people that these heavy people land on their heads on the way into the pit. You get a lot of people getting smashed, and they have no idea it is happening until it happens.
I keep saying, "Is there something we should do to discourage this? Should we say that we want people to be careful and keep your eyes open?" I do see a lot of people getting hammered, and it freaks me out. We are always thinking about it.
CB: How do you stay friends living in such close quarters and being on the road almost all year?
JH: How do we stay friends? We stay away from each other. The only way to control how we all get along is to make sure there is a good amount of separation. You need a little bit of on and a little off.
For example, we get hotel rooms. The band gets hotel rooms. We get them every other day. The hotel rooms are essential and it doesn't matter what it costs to have everybody be able go and have their own private space to go make phone calls, answer e-mails, relax, watch the TV program they want to watch, whatever. The off is just as important as the on because if you get too much together time all the time, then you are likely to have the engine run a little hot, you know what I am saying?
CB: Who in the band is more likely to get into a fight backstage and who is more likely to get laid?
JH: I don't really want to focus on the fighting, but as far as the sex part of it, I would say, all the girls like Ivan. The rest of us are just sort of swinging the bat. They all seem to want to get to Ivan. So I would say answer "A"—my final answer — Ivan.
The thing is, to chase girls around, which is also to chase the party or stay up, all these people show up and they want to hang out with the band. This is their big night out. The problem is, if we participated in everybody's big night out, then we end up having 42 or 55 nights in a row, and it is physically too hard. Imagine having 45 New Years Eves in a row. What kind of shape would you be in after that?
CB: Yeah, bands now are a lot more, I don't want to say mellow, but you can't sustain (that type of partying) for long periods of time if this is what you are going to do.
JH: God knows we have tried it. We don't want to hurt the band. We don't want to hurt the tour. We have a responsibility to not only talk to people during the day but to play in front of these large audiences, and I don't want to go up there hung over and feel like crap and be fuzzy and making mistakes. It's very hard. It's OK when you are a club band — nobody cares; "Get me another beer." Everyone is drunk anyway, but now we are talking about playing in front of 15,000 people at 9 o'clock at night and it is a business now. It is for real.

According to Don Fisher on WIBC Lynch is at IU to stay.
According to Don Fisher on WIBC Lynch is at IU to stay.
Center Grove Trojans
2008 5A Football State Champs
2011 Track State Champs
As head coach? This year was all about HEP, don't link Lynch is the right guy to lead IU to bigger and better things.
Very poor choice.
I don't think he had a choice.
The timing is interesting though...
Maybe getting someone who failed at Ball State is the best Indiana can do for a football coach
It is hard to imagine that if you take Hep out of the equation that Lynch gets the job on his own merits. He was doing recruiting for IU under Hep and last year's recruit class was ranked second to last in Big 10. Reports are this year's class will be dead last. Maybe having the coaching position finalized and beating Purdue plus playing in a bowl game helps get a recruit or two but it is awful late in the process.
I would have hoped IU could have done better but maybe they couldn't.
I hope Greenspan does not have a long term mortgage down in Bloomington because if anything else comes out on Sampson and the football team returns to the 3 or 4 win seasons (their non conference schedule is so weak right now they virtually have to win 3 games) I think Greenspan goes down with the recent coaching choices he has made.
And McRobbie, so easily given blanket support to the decisions, could find the athletic program an anchor that brings him down.
Lynch? Well, there could've been WORSE choices. However, with all the Coaching changes going on this year SO FAR, I think I'd have waited a bit to see what other choices would be available to me. I know he wasn't the right choice for Arizona State, but I would've chased "Dirk Koetter" now O-Coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars. ASU fired him at the end of last year. He's a former "Boise State" Head Coach, that actually put Boise State on the map! He LOVES College Football and I think he could've been hired for a "reasonable amount of $$$", especially with NO $$$ to pay to the previous Coach. (not meaning to sound crass). Koetter's the kind of guy that'll sling the ball openly and DARE the Defense to try to STOP him! He'd be the kind of Coach that can bring them out of the doldrums they're in right now.
But that's just my opinion!
At this point, you have to reward the guy for getting you there--or being the guy in the coaching position when they "got there." Is Bill Lynch a candidate for any other head coaching position in the upper tier NCAA Div 1-A schools? Nope. But letting him go now would be a mistake--even if he cannot follow up to the season IU has had this year. IU is in no position to pick up a big name coach or even an up and coming coach. It will take consistency to build the program and I'd say that Lynch is the only hope. If they can ride the momentum for a season or two and then build on what they have, they may pull out of the depths of the Big Ten.
Hep was the PERFECT coach for IU. He wanted to build the program and stay the course. I'm not sure if they can find anyone like him.
Cam Cameron might be available soon?
And that is CRAZY, isn't it?Originally Posted by Matt-OTN
I'm no IU football fan, but I say give him a chance, like three or four years.Originally Posted by jkg

The IU job is a very difficult one. To succeed there, a coach needs an innovative mind (to overcome talent deficits) with preferrably plenty of charisma (to aid in recruiting). Lynch has neither. With Hardy leaving, and OSU and UM coming back to the schedule in a couple of years, IU will be back to 4-7 or 5-7 in short order.
I hope I'm wrong.
Yes, but let's be realistic. IU is not going to get a Nick Saban, Kirk Ferentz, Urban Meyer or Bobby Stoops.Originally Posted by Truth Detector
I'm beginning to think that for most schools, three or four years is the limit. Win NOW or get fired. Or in the case of Joe Tiller, what have you done for me lately?
What about June Jones? Or Todd Graham, who in his first year, coached Rice....RICE, to it's first bowl game since 1961 last year. He is now 9-3 in his first year at Tulsa, including beating BYU (and he runs the spread).Originally Posted by Kurt Cobain
I don't mind a "lesser name", but let's at least look at a guy that has had success at lesser schools.
IMO, Indiana finishes 9-3 this year with a good coach. Lynch was a decent caretaker, but I don't see him as the dynamic individual to take this program to the next level.
As TD points out, I think we just entered a Davis-like scenario at IU, where the next 4 years are spent in slow decline.
I hope I'm wrong.
"Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and your going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down." -- Edward Blume
I'd love either (or Kelly at Cincy or Johnson at Navy) but IU refuses or is unable to pay the type of money required to get one of those guys. Jones, Graham, and Johnson are making north of $1,000,000. Kelly makes north of $800k. They aren't going to take a pay cut for a very difficult job.Originally Posted by mattndallas
It's pretty clear to me that IU is not serious about competing in the Big 10. They are simply interested in hiring on the cheap (20% under the 10th highest paid Big 10 coach), getting the same 30k or so suckers to pay their money a few Saturdays a year, and cashing in on the TV and bowl money riches that Big 10 members are guaranteed.
At least the tailgating is fun.
Following Knight with Davis and then following Davis with someone who had a record and a name... and now Hep's assistant following Hep.
Makes me think this Greenspan dude is a tad lazy.
I like G-R-I-T-S (Girls Raised In The South). :+
Four out of five voices in my head say "Kill"
Would you leave Hawai'i for Indiana?Originally Posted by mattndallas
As pathetic as Indiana has been, it would still give him an infinitely better chance to win the national championship (IU was a better program than Missouri, Kansas, Louisville, and Kentucky not that long ago) than Hawaii.Originally Posted by Kurt Cobain
That kind of thing may or may not motivate him. I tend to doubt it, but if IU was serious they would at least gauge interest that successful coaches with innovative offenses in sub-BCS conferences might have.
The problem though is that IU doesn't have the cash (or won't pay it) to give raises to coaches from places like Hawaii, Tulsa, Cincinnati, Navy, etc. etc. etc.
As long as that's the case, there's not a chance in Hades Jones leaves Hawaii. The best IU can hope for is an up and coming assistant (still probably too salty for IU's budget), an older coach that has toiled in the minors looking for a shot at the BCS world (like Hep), or a guy that failed in the MAC that no other BCS school would have touched with a 10 foot pole (Lynch).
But... but... Kravitz thinks he's a GREAT choice!Originally Posted by jkg
Which stinks, because that means matt, TD, and I are probably right (and we don't want to be).Originally Posted by skypigeon
Yep.Originally Posted by jkg
Why compete when the absolute best you can finish is Eighth? How frustrating for Jones. He runs the table - and everyone else loses at least one, most two, and he still has no chance in hell.
If IU would just up it's salary to respectable levels, would could nab plenty of these quality mid-major guys.

Styling Thinning Hair
tagged thinning, hair, style and tips in hair
When men begin to see their thick mane of hair thin down, it can be a traumatic experience. A survey of more than 500 participants revealed that 24% equated losing their hair to losing a limb.
As hair changes, styling methods must also adapt. Here are some suggestions to add depth to a man's thinning hair:
Blow dry hair. This will make hair look fuller and less sparse. You'll see an immediate change in the hair's appearance. Even five minutes of hot air will make a difference.
Stay far, far away from products that produce sheen. Ditch waxes and silicone based styling aids. Go with matte products.
For women, it's a different story.
Go for one length hair cuts instead of layered looks. This will make hair appear more dense.
Get some highlights and lowlights in order to provide depth and contrast.

I'm a mom, a wife, a friend, a portrait photographer and a lover of God. I'm quiet (and married to one of the most chatty men on the planet!) We live in a rural country side on top of a hill, and although I love it here I dream of the day when I'll have a big old house with lots of large windows in my studio!
I love mild nights, music, company of my husband and best friend, and doing things with my hands.
Your purchase is handcrafted by me, inspired by my children and supported by my husband. Your purchase allows me to help pay for my husband's tuition (100% out of pocket- no student loans!) and little enjoyables for my family and myself.
Most importantly your purchase allows me to teach my children the invaluable lesson of doing what you love and loving what you do.
Thank you for supporting an independent artist and crafter!

United: We Did Not Lose Anybody
Written by: Ted Reed
Tickers in this article:
Did United mess up? Did United lose a kid? Could companies of all sorts spend a bit more money to ensure that frantic callers get special service on the telephone? Should airlines require that children who are traveling alone be provided with cellphones? And is something wrong when an event is misrepresented time and time again on the Internet, until finally the misrepresentation comes to be considered as the truth?

I guess you heard that the advice columnist addressed as "Dear Abby" died this week. Somebody has to pick up the slack. So, I'm digging into the mail bag to take a shot at it.
Let's see:
"Dear DA Dude:
I have to go to court next week and I'm wondering what to wear. I'm 22 years old and quite attractive. At least that's what all my husbands have told me. My brother says I should wear the tank top—you know, the one with the "F word" written across it. He says the judge will find that attractive and I will get a break. I'm wondering what you think?
Strutting in Seattle"
Well, Strutting, that depends upon how cute you think you would look in an orange jumpsuit.
"Dear DA Dude:
For some reason people avoid me and I don't understand why and they seem to get tired of listening to me and they even run away when they see me coming and it's gotten so bad that I've gone to a doctor and he's put me on lots of medicine and it makes me sleepy and when I sleep I have the craziest dreams and my doctor tells me that dreams are just the things that you think about but that can't be true because I dream the craziest things.
Dizzy in Detroit"
Seriously, Diz?
"Dear DA Dude:
There is a woman that I would very much like to date. She's beautiful. She's smart. We share many of the same interests. There's only one problem. We're cousins. Would there be any problem with us getting married and having kids?
Toothless in Kentucky"
You know what? I've got criminals to prosecute. Is Abby's sister, Ann, still around? Doesn't matter. Somebody else can have the advice column business. I'm outta here.

Are there any europeans who have gotten the box yet? I live in Sweden and ordered the limited edition, but I haven't received the box yet.
I do have the game on Impulse, but I want the box and it has taken quite some time now
Got my normal edition yesterday in Sweden.
Netherlands, got my LE yesterday
Germany, still waiting for my LE
Still waiting for mine too in the UK. Though in my case Customs have probably put it somewhere to make sure it's not going to start ticking.
Poland, got my copy last week.
Portugal, LE arrived yesterday
Well this is great news. Just as the game seemed to get closer to home, the customs authority announce it would be protesting recent salary cuts by clogging up the customs office. And knowing my country, I just hope no one steals it.
By any chance, were the keys for the LE editions won in the Elemental Army contest written down somewhere? Just in case.
I got mine in Finland 1,5 weeks ago.
Not Europe, but Australia (so probably even further) - just got mine today, so they are still on the way for some folks I presume.
Got mine last week
still waiting for the game :/
I had a strange case of immediate precognition today.
I was just reading a post on another forum saying "Hmm - I just received my second Limited Edition in the mail today." when the postman knocked on my door. I thought "Oh, no!"
And, of course, he had in his hands the very same cardboard box that the one on my table. So it went like:
"Wait! It's from Stardock and you want 20$ of added tax?"
"May I refuse it and just send it back for free?"
"Great then!"
Elemental tracking update time!
Has anyone from Eastern Europe gotten their game yet? I've resorted to stalking my postman, just in case he is attacked by ninjas while carrying my Elemental LE. So far he's safe, but no package so far, and it's been a month.
I am from Russia, Saint-Peterburg...have recieved EWoM LE today
I'm in the UK, I haven't received my LE box yet, but I did just have to pay £15 customs charge for it. Sad panda.
Sweet, if you got it in Saint-Petersburg, mine should be close by. I just hope it gets here safe. I've been having nightmares of greedy customs officers nabbing my pewter dragon.
Sorry to hear about the customs charges. Hope they won't be that high if I have them in my country, I recently payed my education tax and am broke again
Denmark here, still waiting for my LE.

Burning Man ceases selling tickets at its gate
I got my annual Burning Man ticket invitation post card in the mail Monday, always an interesting experience given all the emotions that the card conjures, particularly this time.
At first, I gave the card a cursory reading. But a few hours later, I picked it back and examined it a little more closely. And there, tucked away about a third of the way down the page, are 13 words that could be the most significant in modern Burning Man history: "New for 2008: No tickets will be sold at our event site gate."
It's bolded, but … Read more

For Texas Democrats, national Democrats and Senate Democrats, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is a dream come true, and the gift that keeps on giving. Now the talkative and ubiquitous Cruz has denounced the entire Republican leadership, presumably including Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), as being untrustworthy. Should Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), the former boxer, land another blow to the political chin of Cruz, or send him thank-you notes for doing his part to make Republicans look so radical and weird that more Democrats will be elected to the Senate in 2014?
When it rains, it pours.
The combined weight of the three growing Obama administration scandals is weighing down the White House and overwhelming its ability to control the story or advance its agenda.
In hospital triage, this is the equivalent of not having enough bed space.
Each scandal, if it occurred by itself, could potentially be dealt with. But their combination is forming a narrative that the White House is not being honest amid a culture of "scandal."
The three controversies, the IRS targeting of conservative groups, the Benghazi, Libya, terrorist attack and the Justice Department's targeting of AP reporters, are unique. They will ebb and flow on their own terms and in their own way, as news develops.
But each poses a serious political threat to the administration.
With a season of dissent circling Washington, reporters now, the infamous mainstream media — especially those associated with the White House Correspondents' Association dinner — will begin to bail and join the revolution.
Once again it may begin to mean something to be a writer as it did to Ida Tarbell and Carl Bernstein and young'uns may flock again to journalism schools as they did after the Woodward and Bernstein days. An era is upon us, and a new generation, always an equal and opposite counterpoint of the last, will rise with it.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) was one of the first officials in Washington to know of the existence and substance of the inspector general's report on the Internal Revenue Service.
For some time Issa maintained his silence about it, stating that it was important to have a nonpartisan and objective investigation before leveling criticism. Should Issa be subpoenaed and put under oath?
I'm tired.
Under Bill Clinton we had to endure the Republicans' obsession with so-called "scandal" Whitewater, the death of Vince Foster, the travel office, and finally Monica Lewinsky and impeachment.
It was all so exhausting and so useless and so far from doing the people's business.
Nevertheless, Bill Clinton had one of the most successful presidencies in modern times.
Ever since Barack Obama was elected, various elements of the Republican Party have engaged in nothing but petty character assassination, false accusations and partisan political attacks designed to undermine his presidency.
The Hill's A.B. Stoddard takes your questions on the recent controversies surrounding the Obama administration.
Why Sarah Palin? Because when I write a blog here on Jeb Bush or President Obama, it will bring in maybe 10 comments. A piece on Sarah Palin last week brought 135. Same every time. She strikes a chord which runs deep.
She has a purpose here. She may be today the most important person in American culture and politics. She may always have been.
The flak you draw tells of your truth and importance, and no one has taken more flak than Palin. Most has been neutralized now as Tea Party meets the mainstream with the IRS affair in particular, but with Kentucky's Sen. Rand Paul (R), Utah's Sen. Mike Lee (R) and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's (R) acceptance to the common culture as well. Cruz is smart as paint. Rand is folkloric. Others are just ahead. Kristi Noem (R-S.D.) may run for Senate and Alaska's Joe Miller, a former magistrate and 2010 candidate, is right behind.
It's easy to get caught up in the firestorm — Benghazi, the IRS, the fishing expedition the Department of Justice carried out within The Associated Press. But political junkies shouldn't miss what is developing with the all-but-declared candidacy of Sen. Rand Paul and his tour of the early presidential nominating states.
On Monday he will be with Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Prieubus in New Hampshire. He has already spoken at the Iowa Republican Party's Lincoln Dinner and is making stops in South Carolina as well. He isn't just traveling but transitioning from libertarian to "libertarian Republican" as he seeks enough establishment support to move beyond the reputation of his dad's Ron Paul brand to his own Rand Paul brand.
In recent remarks that were stunning and profound, Pope Francis harshly criticized what he called "the cult of money" and condemned what he called the "dictatorship" of economies that are socially unjust and morally unfair.
These remarks, reported in The Daily Telegraph and highlighted on the Drudge Report (but not in major American media) suggest a papacy with the potential to transform the global economic and financial debate.
Most recent popes, including Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict, raised the same issues that Francis dramatized this week. What makes the Holy Father different today is that he views economic and social injustice as a defining, and possibly THE defining, theme of is papacy.
"The patina of high-mindedness the president enjoyed is gone ... Something big has shifted." — Peggy Noonan, The Wall Street Journal, May 17, 2013
The spookiest thing of all perhaps is that with the overnight rise of Obama from nowhere in Chicago to the Oval Office is the uptick again in the world of global "New Superior Man."
Granted, it is a hot, foamy latte version of the beast that stalked the heart of Russia in the early 1800s and would rise to shake the world in 10 days, then tear its fabric for 100 years. The rise of Superior Man also brought the world one of its greatest literary works: Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment, and the anti-hero who would echo today through Nietzsche, Lenin, Trotsky, Bulworth, Bono, Bill, Obama.

Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.

Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
Meditation on Light
I became a scientist because over and over, when I was a child, a teenager, and a college student, I experienced the sheer delight that comes with understanding the amazing physical mechanisms that are at work in our universe.
Vox Balaenae
In 1967, biologists Roger Payne and Scott McVay discovered that humpback whales "sing" and published recordings of the whales' complex vocalizations, after which "whale song" quickly entered the popular consciousness and helped propel the "save the whales" environmental movement forward.
Worshipping God with Science: The Test of FAITH Tour
The primary reason why a Christian should consider science as a career is because it offers unique opportunities to worship God.
Scientists Tell Their Stories: Owen Gingerich
When it came time to go to graduate school, one of Owen Gingerich's science professors told him "If you feel a calling to go to astronomy, you should give it a try, because we shouldn't let atheists take over any particular field."
Science as Our Priestly Vocation
I wonder whether or not the growing dualism or growing conflict between science and religion is actually a rebellion of the creature, failure of us to see the generosity of God.
