OPINION by DINO PORRAZZO at Right Wing Tribune
It took a hell of a long time for Obama to endorse Joe Biden but eventually he did- I mean he really had no choice unless he wanted to endorse Donald Trump which would have been the bombshell story of the century- but he reluctantly thew his hat in for demented Joe.
Now Obama has endorsed over 100 Democrat candidates running for federal, statewide and state legislative offices from 17 states, including New York, New Jersey, California, Texas, Illinois, Arkansas, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Nebraska and Nevada.
But there is one name that sticks out that Obama has not announced his endorsement for- none other than the Socialist garbage Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez!
Will the 2nd Amendment Be Destroyed By the Biden Admin?
That's right folks, AOC didn't make the cut.
Ad by Visible
Why? We really don't have the answer- just the facts.
"I'm proud to endorse this diverse and hopeful collection of thoughtful, empathetic and highly qualified Democrats," Obama said in a statement. "Together, these candidates will help us redeem our country's promise by sticking up for working people, restoring fairness and opportunity to our system, and fighting for the good of all Americans — not just those at the top."
FOX News reports that the former president added that the group of candidates makes him "optimistic not just about our party's chances in November but about our country's future so long after that."
"So if you're in one of their districts or states, make sure you vote for them this fall," Obama said. "And if you can, vote early — by mail or in person."
Yeah, because mail in voting works so well…
What a freaking idiot.[…]
"Our country's future hangs on this election, and it won't be easy," he said. "But pandemics have a way of cutting through a lot of noise and spin to remind us of what is real, and what is important."
He added: "Elections matter. And we need Americans of all political stripes to get involved in our politics and our public life like never before."[…]
Meanwhile, Obama formally endorsed Joe Biden – his vice president and running mate through two terms and presidential campaigns – stepping off the sidelines in April after withholding support for any candidate for months.
"Choosing Joe to be my vice president was one of the best decisions I ever made, and he became a close friend. And I believe Joe has all the qualities we need in a president right now," Obama said in April.
April was quite a long time ago when it comes to Biden's daily decline mentally and physically- Just my opinion paid factcheckers.
So, AOC, it looks like you are out of luck for now.
It's good to know you have something to fall back on- making drinks for Americans including all of us Trump supporters although you would NEVER catch me anywhere near the liberal cesspool NEW YORK!
I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did.
Every single one of us needs to vote all RED- America's future is in our hands.

Israeli school bus bombing survivor reunites with nurse who saved him – 45 years later
The 1970 school bus attack results in a reunion, and the ultimate revenge.
On Tuesday, May 25, 2015, we continued our tour of northern Israel along the Lebanese border, stopping at Moshav Avivim.
While our discovery of a memorial to the victims of the Haifa Bus 37 suicide bombing and our visit to Ziv Hospital in Safed, and its Syrian patients, were unexpected, our visit to the Moshav was even more emotional and full of surprises – Revenge and Reunion.
We met with Shimon Biton, the Secretary of the Moshav. (Our excellent guide, Udi Guberman, provided translation, as Shimon does not speak English.)
There currently are 120 families in the Moshav, 480 people. There are plans to expand to add at least another 50 families, and the demand outpaces available spots.
Moshav Avivim sits along the Lebanese border, just south of Bint Jbeil and Maroun Al-Ras.
When I say right along the border, I mean right along the border:
As we drove to Moshav Avivim, the border fence was just off the road. In this image, the fence along the road is not the border fence – there is another fence just beyond with electronic sensors and between the two a groomed dirt road to detect footprints of intruders.
Moshav Avivim was founded in 1958 by Polish Holocaust survivors who left after just a couple of years. From 1960-1963 it was an army base, and in 1963 50 Jewish immigrant families from Morocco were settled there by the government. Shimon Biton's family was one of those families — He told us that he was conceived in Morocco but born in Israel, the first baby born at Moshav Avivim.
Biton is a common surname at Moshav Avivim.
It was a hard life for the new Moroccan immigrants. They were given little by the government, and forced to fend for themselves, according to Biton. Most of the work prior to 1970 was for the Jewish National Fund.
May 22, 1970 – The School Bus Attack
Moshav Avivim and another community down the road split the school grades because neither itself had enough few children to justify a school with all grades. So the older children from the other community would come by bus to Moshav Avivim, and the bus would then bring the younger children from Moshav Avivim to the other community.
That was what happened on May 22, 1970. The older children got off the bus at Moshav Avivim, and the younger children from Moshav Avivim boarded the bus.
Shimon Biton, then six and one-half years old, boarded the bus accompanied by his father, Machluf Biton, who was the parent designated to ride the bus that day. Several of Shimon's cousins also were on the bus. The bus clearly was a school bus, and followed the same routine every day.
A few kilometers after the bus left Moshav Avivim, it was attacked with bazooka fire from three terrorist belonging to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command, who infiltrated from Lebanon.
Here is what the inside of the bus looked like:
Shimon's father was killed in the attack, but Shimon initially was not severely injured since he was at the back. As he ran forward to check on his father, Shimon was shot several time by one of the terrorists. (He offered to show us the wounds, but we declined.)
Medics and the army quickly descended on the scene. Here is a photo of Shimon being carried away on a stretcher, cared for by a nurse from a neighboring kibbutz. Shimon keeps the photo on his phone, and provided it to me:
Shimon would spend the next year at Rambam Hospital in Haifa. It was several months before he learned his father had been killed, along with three first cousins, two boys and a girl on his father's side.
Here is a list of the 12 dead:
Ester Avikezer (23), Yehuda Ohayon (10), Yafa Batito (8), Shimon Azran (35), Mimon Biton (7), Haviva Biton (7), Chana Biton (8), Shimon Biton (9), Shulamit Biton (9), Machluf Biton (28), Aliza Peretz (14), Rami Yarkoni (29).
There would be a 13th to die from the attack, but not for 43 years, as Yeshiva World reported on December 30, 2013, 13th Victim of the Terror Attack on School Bus from Moshav Avivim 43 Years Ago:
43 years after nine of her classmates and three adults were murdered en route to school in the Upper Galil, Leah Revivo HY"D (52) died last week from an infection from a fragment of shrapnel lodged in her brain in the 1970 attack….
Leah was first thought to be among the dead and they only realized sometime later that she was alive, albeit gravely injured. She was transported to Rambam Medical Center in Haifa. Family members explain she carried the shrapnel scars on her body her entire life, along with the fragments that remained lodged in her brain. She overcame the odds and fought the ominous predictions of doctors by rehabilitating herself, getting married and having children and a life.
Leah's life took a turn for the worse two years ago when one of the pieces of shrapnel in her brain became infected. She began having seizures. On erev Rosh Hashanah 5774 she had a major seizure event and she sustained severe neurological damage. About two months ago she was listed "in a vegetative state" and she eventually died of infection from the shrapnel in her head.
The Aftermath – Surviving and Thriving
According to Shimon, one of the terrorists was killed by the army as they fled. A second one would participate in another attack on Kibbutz Misgav Am and be captured, only to be released decades later as part of a prisoner exchange for the bodies of three Israeli soldiers. [Note, I think he was referring to the 2004 exchange of several hundred prisoners for the bodies and Israeli citizen Elhanan Tannenbaum.] Shimon says he petitioned the Israeli Supreme Court to prevent the release, unsuccessfully. The third terrorist escaped and has not been found.
Shimon and the rest of his extended family stayed on the Moshav. Not a single Moshav family left because of the attack. His mother, who was 23 at the time of the attack, would not remarry for 12 years.
Shimon initially was turned down for army service due to his injuries, but his mother badgered the IDF until they let him in. He would serve in the Lebanon War in 1982, going all the way to Beirut, and would later serve delivering water to Lebanese villages prior to Israel's departure from Lebanon.
Shimon expressed pride that his children not only were successful, but served in the IDF. He invited us into his lovely home, where we met his wife.
Trouble Never Far Away
While there have been no more attacks on Moshav Avivim, there has been trouble along the fence.
In 2006, fighting with Hezbollah took place in the area, resulting in a partial evacuation of the Moshav:
IDF soldiers were killed and nine wounded in a clash with Hizbullah forces on the Lebanese side of the border.
The forces had been sent in to destroy a Hizbullah outpost directly opposite the moshav. The outpost was originally built by the IDF and abandoned intact after prime minister Ehud Barak ordered a hasty withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000….
Four-hundred people live in Avivim. About half of them – including almost all of the women, children and elderly people with health problems – have been evacuated from the moshav, according to Shimon Biton, head of the Avivim residents' committee and a member of the emergency team. The able-bodied men have stayed behind to protect their homes and look after their poultry.
Biton is tough and determined. He lost his father in 1970, when Palestinian terrorists belonging to the Syrian-sponsored Saeka organization fired two bazooka shells at a school bus, killing 12 Avivim residents, most of them children, and wounding about 25. "We ask the government to support the army and give it another month to do the job," said Biton. "We are prepared to sit in shelters all that time."
In 2011, attempts to breach the fence by protesters resulted in Deadly clashes on Israel's borders with Syria, Lebanon (Ynet, May 15, 2011)
Meanwhile, thousands of Lebanese citizens gathered at the Maroun al-Ras boardwalk near Moshav Avivim to protest on "Nakba Day." Lebanese Army forces pushed them away from the border by firing warning shots in the air.
According to later reports, Israeli forces also fired in the air to repel Palestinians demonstrating at the border, wounding dozens. At least 10 people were reportedly killed and more than 100 were hurt at the site.
IDF officials said the casualties were likely hit by Lebanese forces, who directed heavy fire at the protestors….
IDF Northern Command Chief Gadi Eisenkot declared a northern road connecting various area communities as a restricted military zone.
Moshav Avivim Council Chairman Shimon Biton told Ynet: "For more than four decades now I've seen the Lebanese protest in Maroun al-Ras . They've never gotten close to the border fence. They're not going to do it today either. I suggest that Arab governments concentrate on taking care of their own people rather than thinkig of ways to hurt us."
In February 2015, there was another incident near the fence involving Hezbollah supporters, but there were no casualties.
Revenge and Reunion
What were his feelings over the years? Shimon felt that he had exacted revenge, but not in the way you might think.
Revenge, according to Shimon, came from the fact that "we are still here and building for another 70 families."
That could be the end of the story, a story of triumph over evil at great cost, of perseverance, of building while others sought to tear down.
But there was a twist.
Remember that nurse in the photo above? Shimon had no contact with her for 45 years. He was in shock at the time, and wouldn't have remembered what she looked like, much less her name.
Ten days before we met him, Shimon met that nurse for the first time since that fateful day 45 years earlier, at a reunion with several other survivors.
Here is the photo Shimon shared with me from his phone, next to the nurse, Adina:

The Jan. 27 2005 Annapolis MD late show (2nd set) setlist at hotrails.co.uk is missing 2 songs (Buck's Boogie and Joan Crawford).
The actual setlist (in order) for the late show was as follows:
Thanks for the excellent web site / resource!
This was the first night of a "double-header" for us, with BOC on Friday and the Brain Surgeons on Saturday. It was a great weekend.....
BOC at BB Kings was OK... a couple of pretty good shows, but a pretty naff venue for rock music. 90% of the space was taken up with tables, and the remaining standing space had a couple of strategically placed pillars, which meant that it was almost impossible to see the entire stage.
Then whether seated or standing, you were constantly interrupted by waiters and waitresses taking orders, delivering food/drinks, or just getting in the way.
We arrived just in time for the band to come on, so were standing for the first set; and eventually managed to find a spot where we could see most of what was going on.
Very impressed with Richie Castellano, who plays bass more like a lead guitarist much of the time; and I actually enjoyed the solo in Godzilla! No strong feelings on the drummer - he was OK, but didn't particularly stand out for me.
It was good to hear Buck's Boogie and Last Days in the same set, the latter with the now customary Buck and Allen twin guitar solos. This was the first show I'd seen in a while where I wasn't in the "Buck zone", so for once I could actually hear the whole thing in balance.
Then a BIG surprise for the encore - at least for those of us who hadn't seen the setlist from the night before - as Richie-the-bass-guy sang "Hot Rails"... I didn't expect to hear this in anger at a BOC show again. A very cool way to end the show... Also fun to see Jon Rogers take over the bass for "Cities".
For the second set we hung with the locals, and Alex (Oystergirl) got us to a table, along with Captain von Ondine. This was one of the better placed tables, being a booth which actually faced the stage, rather than being side-on.
Amused to find that there was a sign on the table - "Reserved for Steve Schenk". He never came to claim his place... The second setlist was a much more interesting one, with Perfect Water, Golden Age and Astronomy being the highlights; and Hot Rails again as the encore.
Overall it was good to see the band on "home turf", but I wouldn't rush back to BB Kings.
Another superb night of classic rock/metal at BBKings, I certainly scored the trifecta this week! - What else can you say? Judging by the crowd's reaction the band could've played all night; they'd have held us all in the palms of their hands forever! This was one for the record books in my estimation - despite the many concerts I get to my first B.O.C encounter was one to treasure! Unfortunately it was not to be as the band had to play not one but two gigs in the one night so the setlist was reduced accordingly to give the band a well-deserved break in the middle - I'd love to see a B.O.C gig that went two hours plus!
Forming somewhere back in the early 70's these guys sure know how to rock, they are all phenomenal players and despite the usual changes in band personnel over 30 odd years the core of the band appears to have remained intact since those days.
You can probably tell already that I know very little about the band. In fact I just got on the website to read the members names, look at their album releases and read a small portion of history to allow me to write this review! Being from Australia, a country where B.O.C.'s legacy is relatively unknown, research was necessary.
My B.O.C. collection is just three albums - the superbly named 'Cultosaurus Erectus' which I picked up in a bargain bin in Geelong circa 1981, a double greatest hits which I love and the relatively recent 'Then and Now' a brilliant and highly recommended recording with live versions of Burnin For you, Cities on Flame, Godzilla, (Don't fear) The Reaper and Harvest Moon (No relation to Neil Young's version) followed by some great new songs from two albums released in the 2000's - showing how relevant the band still are. If you like this review go and get it!
Commencing with the blistering 'RUReady 2 Rock' (and we sure were y'all!) the band were immediately into stride like the highly talented, tight, progressive metal beast they are. 'Thinking man's metal' is one description I've read and to compare with Dream Theatre's fretwork dexterity and Rush's deep concept work is probably fraught with danger from B.O.C fans... but I'll do it anyway!
'Teen Archer' and the sing along 'Burnin' For You' primed the audience even further and the lead guitar work of Buck Dharma- who also dubs as lead vocalist is arguably the best I've ever heard from anyone, anywhere... ...Massive statement I know, but trust me, the ease at which this guy strolls around the stage, calmly smiling at his band members and the audience while peeling off some of the most tuneful and complex blues/metal riffs and licks has to be witnessed to be believed, I've not seen the likes of Buck's talent very often I can tell you!
The rest of the band are also superb, tight, and in sync with one another and obviously well rehearsed and practiced, as I didn't hear a bum note throughout the entire evening. 'Buck's Boogie' and the haunting 'Harvest Moon' showcase some manic drumming, fiercely tight guitar work and yet more incredible lead work from Buck Dharma.
'Dharma's Taxonomy of Rock Guitar' - now I'd like to see that!
'Joan Crawford' was followed by the awesome 'Cities On Flame... with Rock and Rooowwwll' another guitar cruncher, with a big rhythm guitar and bass bottom end full of great riffs and unforgettable melody. 'Godzilla' a monolithic beast live, is both metaphorically and literally apt. What a song - I don't really know enough about this band but odds are the song will have meaning along the lines of watch out for any giant powerful, all domineering and conquering person/place/government etc!
The last number 'Don't Fear (The Reaper) is probably their best-known tune - at least I assume so as 104.3 classic rock in New York plays it nearly every day. Funnily enough, after watching the gig it appears to give a slightly inaccurate picture of the band itself, and people who only know this song should dig deeper! 'Reaper' is more commercial and poppy I suppose! As Buck Dharma once more swaggered about riffing like an 'in control maniac' the shivers went up my spine... At that moment, I thought to myself f*&^ing WOW!... WOW! THIS is as good as what I saw from Clapton at the Cream gig last year... If Clapton is God surely Buck Dharma is Jesus! The crowd went ballistic, on their feet clapping and cheering wildly... And the song still hadn't finished.
As the band strolled off stage I felt a deep regret... Oh No, please, not yet, surely there must be more- much more! Unfortunately I was wrong but 'Hot Rails to Hell' was a bruising finish anyway and the crowd were ecstatic - in fact I hung around waiting to see if I could sneak in to the next show - Not to be though, we were all ushered out the door. I must be smarter next time BBKings has a 'double set' night and consider booking both shows - after all at $27 this was PHENOMENAL value!
Blue Oyster Cult... I salute you!
This was the last leg of the three Men In Black's (Rob, Tom and myself) short, first tour to New York. Forget the Empire State Building, Central Park, Statue of Liberty etc, we were here for one thing only... to see Blue Oyster Cult on home territory.
BB Kings has been already been reviewed. All I can say is that it is great to see back to back BOC shows in the same evening. Sadly, it isnt the greatest of venues to see the band.
Anyway we ploughed on through the snow to head by train up to Poughkeepsie. It is about 1 hour 40 mins from New York. We arrived at the Chance around 7.00. A nice touch was that outside the venue there was a local radio station playing plenty of rock music while we stood in the freezing cold. Plenty of BOC/Ted Nugent etc.
Anyway the doors opened to the announcement that all cameras were to be handed over. Now as we were holding around £700 worth of digital technology, hasty re arrangements had to be done. Anyway the three of us survived full body searches!! Into the hall we marched.
First surprise was that there was BOC merchandise!! A couple of T shirts later we entered the main hall. The Chance reminds me of a converted UK cinema venue. Difficult to say how many it holds but it was packed to the rafters. The line up for tonights show was
It was great to see the band on home territory for the second night running. The highlight was being namechecked by Eric ("what about all the English (Rob), Scottish (me) and Irish (Tom) people here tonight" he said pointing to the three of us at the front. " These guys came all the way from the UK just for these shows..crazy motherf*ckers" That certainly made our evening. Eric did promise to buy us all a Guinness after the show....we are still waiting!!!
The only lowpoint was that the setlist was the same as Set 1 from BB Kings the previous night with the exception of See You In Black. It was a great show nevertheless. At the end we got to meet some fans from the old BDTE, namely BOCEVIL1 and EDOSAURUS. Both great guys. We shared a few beers, met some other fans (sorry names escape me) and promised to meet up next year.
It was a great mini tour and all three of us fulfilled a lifetime ambition to see BOC in New York. Heres to the next time
Glasgows #1 fan
Stumbled upon your site doing a BOC search and thought I'd throw in my two cents though this show was some time ago. Having seen BOC many times I thought this was a bad show for them. They seemed overall quite disinterested (new drummer aside!)
I whole-heartedly disagree that the Chris Mahoney project was boring. To be honest , though he was the opener he was the most exciting I thought. Songs were catchy as far as instrumentals go and he had a great deal of "hunger". Great guitar playing and I really feel he stole the show. His CD is amazing and all should check him out at www.chrismahoney.com. So, there's my two cents.
Did anything happen in February? If you know, please let me ...
The opening band was The Substitutes (same as previous year).
Originally this gig was slated for the Pepper Belly's Comedy Club venue (!) then a few days before the show, it was moved to Civic Center Theatre, which was much better of a place for BOC. It was like a high school recreation hall, or assembley hall type of place, next door the Fairfield Library! So, anyway this was a short and sweet set by the band, so I'll keep this review that way.
Before the band came out the venue showed the famous SNL Christopher Walken-BOC "cowbell" skit on a huge video screen, then the band's roadie (name?)introduced them as "From New York City, Blue Oyster... Cowbell" Ha!
Opening with "The Red And The Black", the band was as tight as ever, and I was especially impressed by newcomers Jules Radino on drums and Richie Castellano on bass and vocals. A killer version of "Harvester Of Eyes" was in the set as well.
Highlights in the setlist for me were "Transmaniacon MC", which was a nice surprise, the extended versions of "I Love The Night" and "Last Days Of May", both sounding awesome, and a special birthday tribute in "Joan Crawford"- as it was Joan's birthday. I don't think anyone heard me yell "NO WIRE HANGERS!" but oh well...
The band played great that night, and the encore was "Hot Rails To Hell", while I missed Joe Bouchard, it was still great to hear this song live, Richie did a superb job on the vocals. Some fans at this show complained that at 79 minutes, it was too short, but I didn't mind, because I had to get up early the next day. So all's well that ends well. Overall a tight, short but rocking set from Blue Oyster Cult.
i was at this boc show in conn. they played an awesome hour and a half set in the wolf den.
Boc can still rock.
Show at Mohegan Sun Casino "Wolf Den" April 15, 2005. Uncasville, Connecticut, USA. 8:00 pm:
There was no opening (support) act before BOC played. The rumour I got from a security guard was that a local act was supposed to come on at 7:30 but had been delayed in traffic.
According to him, BOC was scheduled to start at 8:10. BOC did come on at about 8:05 for a one hour 40 minute act. The tickets had a start time of 7:30, and none of the promotional material mentioned an opening act.
Eric Bloom was wearing a baseball jersey open over a black tee shirt. The jersey had the team name "Klingon" across the front (from Star Trek) and the emblem of the Klingon Empire on the sleeve.
I have scoured the internet for a place to buy one - I really loved it! I can't even find a mention of it. Anybody got any suggestions as to where I might find some more info leading to a place to buy one?
This may be long. Forgive me. I am a diehard BOC fan. Period. I am 38 years old and Boc's music has stayed with me. I have gone through all sorts of phases of music in my life. I love music. I love Motley Crue, Miles Davis, Bob Dylan. Neil Diamond. Johnny Cash. The Outlaws. Rory Gallagher. Shatki and everything in between. I know that seeing BOC at a young age certainly has a lot to do with my passion. The bottom line is they were the band for me through my high school years and these are the most formative years of your life. From Eric's voice to Buck's playing, the mystical album covers to the deep lyrical content. This was not like any band I had ever known. Let me fast forward.
Since my inauguration on Sept. 19, 1981. I have seen them 45 or so times. Always a wonderful night. At this point it feels like I am going to see an old friend when I go see them now. I can't tell you how many years I saw them play Still Burnin and Harvest Moon and Demon's Kiss with Eric announcing "These songs will be on our new album." What memories. Kickass versions of Wings of Mercury. Alan getting boozed up and playing with an annoyed Eric's hair. Rogers, Burgi, Riddle, Pitrelli, Rondinelli, Miranda. Now Jules and Richie. It has been a helluva ride. I just wanted to give a little background before I get into the Plymouth show.
At this point in my BOC concert going career, the biggest thrill is the setlist. Not knowing what they are going to play is a big part of enjoying the show to it's fullest. For this reason I intentionally avoided these boards since January. Didn't want to hear about BB King's or the West coast swing. I wanted it to be an open slate. Going in, I had no idea what was in the current setlists.
Sat. night, I see Eddie and his lovely wife along with Oystergirl and Oystertots. I don't say anything for fear of any disclosing of setlists I have painstakingly been avoiding. I get inside and it looks like Zibe has been elected to wait in line for concessions. When he is done he encounters a slightly shorter line to the men's room. I am hoping he gets back to his seat in time for the opener as the lights in the theater are dimmed.
I am seated next to an attractive woman in her late 30's who is there with her two teenage daughters. We small talk a little about the band. She has never seen them but knows the hits. She won the tix on a radio station and lives in Plymouth so she figures why not. Her daughters are into hard rock but mostly newer stuff. On with the show.
The band breaks into The Red and the Black and immediately I am into it. Usually an encore song, it works quite well as an opener. The sound is good. The signature guitar sound that I am enamored with, is very prevalent. To me this song is quintessential BOC from their earliest and best period. Great way to start the evening. Teen Archer off Tyranny is next. Another somewhat of a surprise. I had only heard it once in recent years and that was at BB King's a couple of year's ago. Great song. A thrill to hear it. I do believe Quicklime Girl should have been played right after. It's like Heartbreaker into Living Loving Maid. Oh well.
Next was Burning for you. Normally some of the crowd would get more into it at this point, but that didn't seem to be the case. Must have been a lot of veterans in the crowd. Transmaniacon MC was a complete shock. I was stunned. I was so stunned that I think I was in a fog through most of the song. Still great to hear it and to see the boys thinking about us vets. Shooting Shark was phenomenal. Richie starts to become more animated at this point and will continue to ratchet it up progressively for the rest of the show. Buck's voice is hitting all the right notes. His solo is melodic and powerful. COF had some punch. Will the rock and roll interplay with the audience ever be taken out of the show?
Minor complaint. Last Days of May. Allen' solo had an almost Santana like feel with the spacing( not the tone, nobody sounds like Carlos). Buck's solo was amazing as usual. How somebody can play with such speed and still make it sound like part of the song is beyond me. Obviously one of the all time great songs. ME 262 was also very strong. I don't know if it was the venue or what but Eric's vocals were very clear and loud. A big plus. Godzilla and DFTR were enjoyable to just kick back and listen to the sound Of BOC.
The encores were incredible. The passion and energy that Eric brought to Black Blade was unreal. I think the kids are putting a little adrenaline into Mr. Bloom. To close with Hot Rails and Ritchie on vocals was special. Obviously this song has been out of rotation since Joe left. It came back with a thunderous bang. Ritchie and the bands collective energy climaxed during this song. Start with classic BOC, end with classic BOC. My kind of show.
I didn't even notice the length of the setlist to be honest with you. There have been other shows where I definitely paid more attention to the time. These shows are usually shows that I haven't heard something out of the ordinary well into it. Certainly not the case on Sat. night. This was one of the best shows I have seen in the past 15 years. The venue was great. I had never seen them in a theater before.
Sound was excellent. The first three albums were well represented. I would have liked to hear something off Curse but it didn't happen. That in no way detracted from my enjoyment of the show. I was in the pocket of the moment.
Thank you for reading.
I was there. BOC played by themselves. There were no other bands on the bill. The Speaks and Rare Earth did not play.
Thanks Kurt - I've amended the entry.
Hello there, I was at the June 11, 2005 BOC show in Salem, Virginia (Greenhill Park). BOC played first, and then Foghat.
Naperville, ILL. Ribfest. Set list correct. My first Ribfest show and second time seeing Jules/Richie.
WOW.This was a killer show. The "new guys" seemed to add a whole new energy to the band and told Buck afterwards.
After show crowd all gone, security telling everybody leave grounds, but wife and I and friend Z lingered as long as possible and finally got Bucks attention.
He came over hugged the wife and we chatted for a few minutes. I told him it was finally nice to hear HRTH, and that he had wanted to play it for sometime and that EB was ahainst it.
I guess Richie had a good enough voice for it. That was the one song fans had always shouted out at these shows, so good to see them do it...
Greetings loyal masses of the Blue Oyster Cult, its Jake here with another field report for all to read and hopefully enjoy. (Yeah I know its long, but I wan't to make it as vivid as possible for all who read the review)
It had been just over a year since I first saw BOC, and if you read my last review you know that it was a long trip, but well worth the drive and the price (free!). My only complaint however was the length of the set, a mere 45min. Well with a little time and some patience I would get another chance to see them in the flesh and this time it would be right in my backyard in Burgettstown, located fairly close to my home of Pittsburgh.
There had been some major changes in the BOC lineup since last June with Danny Miranda and Bobby Rondinelli having both went on to other projects (though I would find it to be next to impossible to want to leave a group of this stature... and for god's sake, its Blue Oyster Cult!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) but I am sure they had damn good reasons.
After the smoke cleared, we were left to see two relatively unknown players step in to fill some mighty big shoes. Richie Castellano would come on on bass and back-up vocals and Jules Rodino would fill the empty drum stool. I know that there were probably some of us who hoped that Al and Joe Bouchard would come back.....but delusion will get us nowhere. So we were left to see what these two could do under pressure of a highly critical group of fans and well, critics.
The show took place on a hot Friday evening in the summer. This summer was one of the hottest and driest we ever had and after a long day of putting up fences and painting kitchens I looked forward to cleaning up and getting down with some good friends and good music. Eddie Money was also on the bill and the radio had been doing a pretty good job of promoting the show and I hoped for a good show and for lightning to strike twice.
As usual, most of my friends declined to attend, this time the main excuse being the price. At $70.00 I agree that it was a very steep price to see them, but it was also covering parking and a full meal served at your table. Blue Oyster Cult doing dinner theatre???
More on my thoughts on that later, anyway this trip was just me and Dan Cummins, my friend and recent convert to the church of BOC. Having gone with me to see them last summer, he too was eager to go and see them and not have to drive 80 miles to see them. I picked him up that evening and we headed off in my 71' Pontiac Tempest hoping to arrive in style.
We pulled in to the lot to see it at near capacity, but instead of being filled with muscle cars like the one we had, we were faced with minivans and the occasional SUV. We faced the possible fact that we were probably going to be the youngest people there by far.
We pulled past a group of older guys listening to "Specters" out of their car stereos. It was cool to see the turn their heads as "Death Valley Nights" came blasting out of the speakers.
As we park the car and start to head to the venue, we are greeted by something very unexpected, some guys we went to high school with. Apparently we were not going to be the only young faces in the crowd that night. So instead of going in right away Dan and I hung out with Mike Hickly, Brandon Hoffman and Nick Boretzky while we shared stories and a couple of beers, though I did not partake since I do not drink. It was good to see these guys again and it was cool to see some familiar faces at the show. After a little bit of talking we found out that they were there mainly to see Eddie Money... there is no hope for my generation.
After about ten minutes of me selling my views on just how great BOC were, especially live, and how they were gonna deliver the goods in a major way we headed in to take our seats and eat our dinner.
It was a pretty nice place, lots of pictures of famous or not famous country musicians all over the walls, this had been a place that mainly was a venue for country acts, but something just did not feel right. We sat down and found out that our seats were very close to the stage, right to the left of the stage right by Eric Bloom's setup. Just where we wanted to be. We met up with Nick, Mike and Brandon inside and found out that their $80.00 seats actually put them farther away from the stage than we were... that's what you get for being an Eddie Money fan!!! (laughter)
While we were eating dinner (Ribs and Chicken) we found out that we were sharing a table with the same gentlemen who noticed us in the lot. Their names escape me now but they were old BOC fans attending the show with thier sons. maybe there is some hope after all. Immediately we got to telling concert stories and these guys apparently saw these guys in 1980 on the "Cultosaurus Erectus" tour.
Immediately I asked if it in fact was the infamous "Black and Blue" tour which saw the mighty Black Sabbath share the stage with Blue Oyster Cult in the same night. They told me quote, "Oh man, I was so fucked up, I don't remember a thing..."
Ladies and gentleman, here is the EXACT reason as to why I don't drink, I never want this to happen to me if I can help it. It didn't bother me that he did drink, it was just that he seemed proud of it, proud that he essentially missed what was probably an amazing show.
Otherwise he and his friends were great guys and cool to talk to about more then just music. Apparently they liked the car alot and thanked them for the compliment. Around this time Dan orders some Killian's Dark... where he drinks it right from the pitcher.
These guys were fans allright, but apparently BOC's career began and ended with "Specters". I shit you not. They asked for "Fireworks" and the aforementioned "Death Valley Nights" but I had to tell them that those were Al Bouchard songs and he was fired from the group back in '81. I was sorry to break it to them because those are two great songs that we would most certainly have no chance of hearing that night. I was holding out for "Flaming Telepaths" and hoping they would play my absolute favorite song tonight.
After a short wait and some announcements about upcoming shows at the Roadhouse, we saw the roadies come out and lay out the rigs for the band. I could see them bring out Eric's Black Gibson SG with the Kronos symbol on the body in mother-of-pearl. If I could only get a little closer... Eventually the lights went out and the immortal announcement came from the MC that the amazing Blue Oyster Cult were here and they started with;
The Red & The Black: Never heard this one live before, was elated to hear it. Track one off my favorite BOC album gave the show a strong start and if this song was a teller of how the rest of the night was going to be, then I was in for a hell of a good time. Eric sounded great and Allen seemed almost energetic. His solos were really strong during the end and his Telecaster shone as the stagelight hit it. I was surprised to see how young Jules Rodino was and it seemed that the reports on Richie Castellano were in fact true, this guy is a hell of a bass player. At the end of the song, I screamed for "Flaming Telepaths".
Burnin' For You: Still surprised to hear this so early in the set, but its still a great song to hear live. Buck still sounds great as a singer and I still feel it is played a little bit too fast. I still screamed for "Flaming Telepaths"
ETI: Man I am not sure if I can still say that I prefer the studio version to the live after hearing this one; Eric really sounded great on this and I love the changes to the end of the song. It was a highlight of the evening... yet still no "Flaming Telepaths".
Shooting Shark: Now here was the big surprise of the evening. Eric said that this featured Jules and Buck on this and they got started on this dark horse from "The Revolution By Night", a song that I really don't like that much. Live, this song was absolutely stellar. Jules just proved his worth on this one with his masterful handling of the complicated drum parts while Buck laid out a great solo during the song's fadeout. Absolutely amazing to hear live. I still want to hear "Flaming Telepaths".
Lips In The Hills: Eric said they were going to play a love ballad and Buck played the infamous pull-off guitar run that signaled this hit from "Cultosaurus Erectus". Eric sounded good on this one as did Buck and it was an interesting choice... it sounded alot better here than off "Long Day's Night". By now I am getting hoarse from shouting out "Flaming Telepaths" at the end of every song. I will not give up hope.... and Dan orders more beer.
Cities On Flame: Here it comes, a great song to hear live and no matter how long he tries to drag out the solo, Buck still sounds awesome on this track. Eric's voice is still in fine form and wonder what other surprises they have in store for us next... maybe "Flaming Telepaths"?
Golden Age Of Leather: Damn, well its not "Flaming Telepaths", but I never thought I would hear this one live. The "Specters" fans at my table were very happy to hear this one and it was really cool to get to sing along to the beginning chant while Dan raised his entire pitcher of beer. Apparently a "can" would not suffice for him in this situation. Anyway Allen's guitar sounded real good on this while Buck and Eric traded vocal lines back and forth. A great suprise... still no "Flaming Telepaths"... I am starting to lose hope.
Astronomy: Now here Eric gave us the option between this and "Last Days Of May". I already heard "Last Days Of May" in Johnstown and I never heard this song live so I shouted out for "Flaming Telepaths". I did not get my wish, Dan drank more beer.. .from his pitcher. Now here is where Eric really needs to watch his singing. I know he can still hit these notes, but he seems to want to shout them instead of sign them and the song suffers, yet it was still a great performance.
Godzilla: At this point I realize that I have no chance of hearing my request, so I just go along with the moment and dig on this song I have heard many times before. Here is where I got to see just how good Richie and Jules were. First up is Richie; after playing some riffs from "Tom Sawyer", he really lets go and rips out some amazing tapping exercises that leave my jaw on the floor... this guy can stay, but his major moment came later in the show. Next up was Jules, this guy can play. His double bass fills and cymbal crashes make for an interesting and energetic solo. The band came back in and Buck and eric closed out the number with some tasty solos with the help of Allen.
Don't Fear The Reaper: Was sorry to hear this song so soon, but as stated before it was still great to hear live. It is a great showcase for the guitar players. Otherwse, not much else here to report.
Hot Rails To Hell: I was amazed that they played this one, I never thought the rumors were to be true as Richie took lead vocals in place of Joe Bouchard. If this is a sign on things to come then when can we hope to hear "Wings Wetted Down"?
The crowd cheered and they left the stage. It was a great show and I can say that this show was alot better than the one in Johnstown just because I could tel they were alot more into it that night.
After this we sat thorugh Eddie Money which was ok but it did not match the level of BOC whatsoever. except when this smokin brunette got on stage during "Shakin" (what a hottie). So I waited for the show to end at this point and picked up a BOC shirt with the "Tyranny And Mutation" cover on it.
As we were walking out, we talked to our friends at the table who were upset that they started and ended thier set with "new" songs. Apparently they never heard of this great album and they looked a little bit miffed when a 21 year old kid told them that those songs were at least four years OLDER than the ones off of "Specters".
We got back to the car and sped off into the night with great memories to take home. Until next time, so long.
Well, we did it. One week after opening for Little Feat, my band opened for Blue Oyster Cult.....
I think I am probably dreaming... look at this in perspective. Exactly one year ago, my band played its first gig - an hour at a private birthday party. At that time, we had been together about 2 months. I personally had not played a gig in over 20 years (dropped out of the scene after college) and several band members had never played a gig ever...
Who would have guessed that a year later we would be opening for major (or formerly major) acts? Best yet, earlier in the week we signed to open for BOC again in October (Rare Earth is on that ticket too...)
Dreaming or not, I am sure enjoying the ride...
A few random notes/memories:
The venue was the "Hogg Farm Rally" - a biker rally in southern Illinois. Strange stuff happens at biker rallies. For example - about 20 yards to the side of the stage there was a mechanical bull. During our entire set there were naked women riding the bull - at one point two naked women were simultaneously riding the bull. The fact that we actually got applause at the end of our songs means we must have been playing well, with competition from naked bull riding....
We sold quite a few CDs and t-shirts. A note on merchandising at biker rallies. If a babe walks up and asks to get the shirt $5 cheaper, and you say "sure - but you have to change into it right here..." she WILL do it... and nobody wears a bra at a biker rally. You need to decide if it is worth the $5 to you.
Important note: Also be sure you know who is in earshot when this happens. There might be someone else nearby who, to put it discreetly, is less of a babe - and she will want the same deal - and you DO NOT want that picture engraved in your memory.
It is apparently perfectly normal for guys to walk around buck naked at biker rallies. There was a "naked guy" who wore nothing but a leather belt and several genital piercings...
There was a big storm the night before the show, and the main mixing board got wet and developed problems. We had technical issues all evening. The band before us ended up doing only 3 songs because they had to start really late.
We were right before BOC, and had to cut our set roughly in half. Didn't matter too much because it allowed us to cull some of the weaker tunes. Our sound guy later told us that the main channels on the board were fired and he was having to mix us through the aux sends...
Still, we sounded pretty good - the audience was wildly appluading at times (though maybe they were watching the naked chicks on bulls....). Seriously, though, we did well despite the technical issues.
BOC had a moment of technical difficulties too. They covered by throwing in a very cooll rendition of the Beatles "If I Feel" - with some very nice harmonies. BOC does sing very very well.
Buck Dharma is never mentioned as a guitar great - and I am not saying he should be. But - the guy does play very very well. I was pleasantly surprised. Lots of modal riffs... interesting stuff.
We got to hang with BOC ever so briefly before and after the show. I did manage to get a photo with Eric Bloom - will post it to our website in a few days. When it comes to hanging with us lesser mortals, though, Little Feat was much more accessable than BOC. We had folks from Feat hanging in OUR hospitality suite and taking photos of US - and we even got on their tour bus. Feat has a rabid fan following, and you can tell why - they treat folks well. BOC has a big following as well, but they might do better if they hung with the fans a bit more.
I've since learned that the above poster, Jim Dougan - bass player with the Knights in Crisis - has sadly died... RIP, Jim...
Visit the Knights in Crisis site...
I don't remember all the details except for I believe it was around 2005 at an outdoor free summer concert series at Yokuts park in Bakersfield.
Our band is called "HOT TACO" The show Rocked !!!
Sheboygan,WI again, different site from Brat days. Set list correct. No encore cause Lou Gramm was next.
A friend of mine and son made trip from Marquette, MI to be at this one. By this time, wife and I had moved to West Bend WI so Sheboygan was only 1/2 hr away.
No Allan, first time for me band not complete. Buck came over to us after show and I introduced friend and son to him. Very gracious, spent a lot of time talking to my friends son Rudy.
On a side note, as I said my friend lived in Marquette MI. A roadie for the Rolling Stones, "CHOOCH" lived there when not touring with the Stones. "Chooch" befriended Rudy at some point and GAVE a Rudy an old gtr. and practice amp that once belonged to Keith. In our conversation that night with Buck I brought this up and Buck said cool.
p.s when Chooch died one or two years later, Rudy was crushed. Chooch had promised him a Stones show in Chicago the next time they were there. The Stones flew into Marquette unannounced for funeral and came walking in church to eveyones surprise.
They played AMAZING GRACE and my friend got to talk to Mick and Charley for a few minutes. Before the media got wind of all this they were gone. In Ronnie Woods book there is a chapter on Chooch that relates all this...
Lakeland,FL august 27,2005. There was a local band opener (don't remember the name), then Foghat, then BOC.
After the singing of the National Anthem (yes, it's weird here in the state of Washington, but to make things weirder, at the State and County fairs here, they have someone come out on stage before the first act to do this!?!), the now familiar Matrix music starts playing, and out comes the band. Allen with a Fender Precision? (not sure) strapped on, and surprisingly, Richie was using Buck's Cheeseberger! A little volume check while the intro music played, and Jack Secret comes out an introduces the Band. Right into the opening chords of:
The Red And The Black
Well, since there is only one lead guitar player, there isn't any taking turns of solo spots and Richie steps up to the plate and does it all!!! This guy can really shred! He kept the essence of Buck in the air (Maybe playing on Bucks equipment helped. or not), while playing things his own way. Allen missed the beginning of the Bass break, but quickly caught it with a few notes thrown in. Next was:
O.D.'d On Life Itself
They just kept on playing, and it sounded pretty good, although I was kinda missing Allens guitar harmonies. After the song Eric introduced the Band members, and explained about Bucks absence, and how, since the rest of the band were already in town, they decided the Show Must Go On!! Then they went into:
Burnin' For You
Well, I'm missing the guitar harmonies again, but Richie was doing a really good job, better than can be expected on such short notice. So who was gonna take the lead vocals? Go Richie go!! This guy has a huge weight on his shoulders, and he handled it just fine. Then Eric takes off his guitar, and this can mean only one thing:
ETI (Extra Terrestrial Intelligence)
I don't think I've ever seen this played with one guitar before, but Richie pulls it off! Eric goes back to the Keyboards at the end (as usual), and I think that was the only song they were used on.
Harvester Of Eyes
This song came off pretty good.
Hot Rails To Hell
It was fun watching Richie play this one as it's kinda become his place in the show. It rocked!!
Cities On Flame with Rock And Roll
Richie ROOLS!!! He's a great guitar player, and I really don't think anyone else could've done this on such short notice!!! When it came to the break, he did the whammy bar thang, and where Buck usually pauses and cracks his knuckles, Richie just hung his fingers and shook them for about one second and went right into the solo. I got a big kick outa that. Next, Allen puts on a Guitar and Richie dons "The Foof" and Eric goes into his "Something Big is coming this way" spiel, and of course they start:
Allen and Eric playing guitars. Sounds great, although a little subdued. No slide offa the mic stand during "he pulls the spitting high tension wires down" part, but it's rockin', and Richie (I sure am sayin' his name alot) starts dancin' all around the stage like he normally does. He does an extended solo, and he and Jules even do a bit of Rush's "Tom Sawyer" in the middle. Jules did an excellent solo, (Man, can he ever rip it up!!!), and at the end, the band even did that Heartbreaker riff! Allen and Richie went back to thier original instruments, and the next song was (of course!)
(Don't Fear) The Reaper
This was probably the hardest song they had to do all night. Eric started out by talking about the SNL "More Cowbell" skit, and they brought out someone (I'm not sure if this was someone from the crew, or a radio station promo winner or what) and he sat behind the keyboards and played Cowbell with the band. Eric tackled the lead vocals on this one, and Richie handled the harmonies. They kinda had a tough time with it, trying to find the right notes what with Eric usually handling the harmony part, but after the first verse, it sounded OK. Eric was reading the lyrics off of a sheet taped to his monitor, and I think he got lost a coupla times. It ended with a nice short sweet solo, and the band was gone. The crowd tried to get an encore going, but the Fair started shooting off a buncha fireworks for a few minutes, and it was over.
I think the band did an awesome job, going where no man has gone before!! They only had a little bit of time to figure out what they were gonna do, rehearse, etc before the show, and were very professional about the whole thing. There was a few little struggles, but watcha gonna do? I missed Buck alot, and hope he recovers soon, but kudos to the Band and especially Richie for stepping up to the plate and knocking one outa the park!!!!
I don't even know where to start...
I had no idea there was gonna be no Buck until they came out on stage...to say I was disappointed is an understatement... Eric said Buck was sick and this is only the 2nd time something like this has happened... but he said the show must go on and I agree...
First of all... this was an expensive show for me... and I dunno about anyone else, but have you noticed that there are not that many dates posted on their website... I'm getting a funny feeling that they're not gonna be playing too much longer... so I went all out... bought 5 tickets ($50 each) for me, my wife, my son and two of my best buddies... only my wife had seen them before, so I wanted to treat my son and friends to a show...
Before the show (for months actually) I had been telling all of them about how incredible I think Buck is... I believe he is the best player alive today... at least he plays how I only wish I could play... no one touches Buck... no one is even close... we talked about how to expect Last Days of May and the intro to Reaper and hopefully the virtuoso playing on I Love the Night...
How in the world could they do a show without Buck? Can you imagine a Rolling Stones show without Mick?
'nuff said...
Unbelievably, the show started without Buck... Ritchie moves to lead guitar, Allen strapped on a bass... the keyboards sat idle for the entire show, except I believe Eric went over there and play a note or two...
They started with Red & Black... and god dammit if Richie didn't play the MO-FO note for note... where the hell did this guy come from? It wasn't Buck, but even die hard fans had to take notice... but I was still pissed, so it was very hard to enjoy...
OD'd was next and it was very average... getting the vocals right was hard to come by without Buck... geez, the guy IS THE BAND for me... but they played it anyway... not very well though...
Next was Burnin... and it was another yawn... I got up to get a beer and trade in my old one... still fucking furious (I know I have no right to be so pissed, but I was... )
By the way, there couldn't have been 1000 people there... Steppenwolf actually played after the boys...another HUGE disappointment... but that's another story...
Harvester of Eyes came up next and I thought it was just terrible...
Then came a huge surprise... This Ain't the Summer of Love... and it was pretty damn good... I've never heard it live, so it was a nice surprise... OK, I wasn't so pissed anymore... and tried to make the best of it...
Cities of Flame started and all I could think about was Buck... but I also kept thinking that Ritchie knew all these songs on lead and how in the world could he know that? I was VERY impressed with him, just the fact that he could play all these songs and pretty well, I might add... just not the way only Buck can play them...
We were in for a treat as Zilla was next... Ritchie moved to bass... Allen strapped on a guitar... I've seen Ritchie play one other time and he did a pretty fine job, but this was a real gem... I think they played a longer bass solo than planned due to Buck (they only played 10 songs) and the drum solo was longer too)... but Ritchie did a hell of a job... gotta tip my hat, they young man did not look bummed out about this whole thing and he won me over as a musician on this song... everyone in the crowd enjoyed this song, the bass solo and Ritchie...
Reaper was next... sans the intro... I really miss that intro... fucking cool when Buck does it... the crowd went wild as normal, but it was quite average and a pretty short version...
They did an encore... strange for anyone but the headline band...played Hot Rails... and they did a commendable job...
By the end I has a smile on my face... I realized I like to see these guys play for 2 reasons: 1) Their material is awesome, 2) Buck. Even without Buck, the material is so strong, you cannot help but enjoy it...
I am seriously thinking about flying out to CA just to see Buck...
Does anyone know FOR SURE if he will be there? What was wrong, I mean is his illness serious? I hope not, the dude is amazing...
In mourning... Jimbo
Saw the BOC gig at Konocti Harbor in Kelseyville, California last night with Joan Jett and The Blackhearts followed by the Doobie Brothers... been a fan since 1974... 1st time I've seen them with their new bass player, Richie and Drummer, Jules... They Still ROCK...
BOC opened at 5:00pm and played for an hour... followed by Joan Jett and then the Doobies (who were just remarkable) and then a fireworks show... great day/afternoon/evening...
Extremely short set due to (a) a late start by Foghat because of sound check issues (a very bad omen as it turned out) and (b) a ridiculously early curfew at the venue (10:00).
BOC was plagued by sound system problems throughout the set. Buck was visibly frustrated by his sound cutting out multiple times.
My notes, and the set list I have that was taped to the stage, both list "Cities on Flame" as coming after Golden Age and before Last Days...
And, there is one omission for the 18th September show. There was NO COWBELL! A COWBELL emergency! The band's own equipment had been lost - I heard "The Reaper" with no cowbell.
Hello. Here is the set list from the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma show on 25 Sep 2005:
Take care. Your website is most excellent! Keep it up and thanks for the great site.
Marengo Iowa is just west of the Amanna Colonies in central Amish Iowa. a 3 1/2 - 4 hour drive for me from La Crosse, but having worked just east of the town in Iowa City ther ride down was a flash back of welcome winding country roads and many old and small towns who I have been through countless times.
Pulled into Merango about noon and got directions to the Bike fest/venue and proceded to get a ticket and contact the travelers from Illinois, Nimrod, Syborg, Shado and Kira. We met up at the front gate and got to the camping grounds to unload the truck and car for the night... a chill was in the cold Öctober air already so the night was looking real cold.
Tent went up without a hitch and se gathered more firewood and got some of my body warming chile going on the camp stove I brought... much welcome warmth... We all took turns watching the local acts and checking out the Bikes and goods to be had from a wide source of vendors. Low point of the day was the Gay Female Bike Ride....there was to be no nudity and these.... welll... women broke the rules..... there are some folk that aught not to ride a bike nude... ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rare Earth was Rare.. problems with sound check were causing some tension, and the cold didnt help either..Woody to save the day. Steve is 1 of the best sound men in the Biz and in no time he had Rare Earth cooking. The crowd slowly gathered as the vibes and sound were turned up a nothc with every passing moment till we finally had a freekin rockin show going on! I had never seen Rare Earth before but was totaly impressed with the show!..On to the reason I'm here....
BÖC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With the break I go get a couple more beers and make my way back to stage... I'm amazed they didnt have the usual 10 foot fence barrier seperating the fans from stage and we are shoe string tying distance fron the band. Good solid crowd of fans! as the all clear is given the Matrix theme begins(I still miss Blade Runner) and the Guys all comence to take up their respective places on the stage....
Rip into Red and Black... from here on out the cold is gone, the warmth of the energy and crowd are heat enough but the Boys take the heat to another level! We slide uninterupted into OD'd... man i love the no time break slides to songs... just like the 1st 3 albums.
With a cold fog coming from the members mouths as the final chorus is sang the crowd feeds the energy! Fuck the 30 degrees temps! This place is burnin and as the chords for Burnin ring out the Radio and top 40 crowd goes nuts...I have seen this tune over 60 times and not 1 time the same... Gotta love it!
ETI...what can ya say..Good tune... IMO they could pull something from Heaven Forbid or Curse to fill this slot... Shooting Shark... despite what some think on this song, for me I go into a trance... the underlaying lines in this make one want to move yet still being melted by Bucks attack keeps you planted... Again, looking up at the stage the temp of the air is still droping but the heat up there is being turned up a notch with every tune. and on to Bucks Boogie.... this is another that is never the same from 1 night to another Fingers on Flame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Golden Age continued the nights frozen frenzy as the knowlageable crowd was in full sing along mode! Nothing like BÖC, Beer and Bikers!!!!!! I have found it dont get much better than this!
On to the knuckle crackin crowd fire up tune of Cities on Flame... with Rock and Roll The new guys have really brought this tune to where it was when the Brothers Bouchard were still in the band..imo of course;)
With a star filled eve and time to decide tween Last Days or Astromomy the later of the 2 were chosen... blistering... The entire band was lost in a 5 minute jam of total jaw droping back and forths and then finally Buck took control.... Oh My is all I can say..what a lesson to the other guitar players on that night. Zilla/Reaper.... Zilla has taken a new turn with Jules and Richie for sure... new drum and bass solos....refining them and changing with every show. and with Reaper you are always going to get something new each eve...
Encore... Hot Rails: I am gald to see the vocals of Richie get put to use on this one! His Bass playing speaks for its self and for this one to have the dust blown off of it is fantastic!
And another night ends... the crowd left and Knights of Crisis played to about 15 folk as they were kind enough to give their slot to BÖC as they had to catch a 4 am flight out. We did listen to them around the campfire that cold October eve and slowly the flamed died and we all gathered in the tent for a nights sleep.
The following morning we woke to a frosty land scape and knowing our paths must once again part till the next chance to hook up at a BÖC show.
We parted knowing our bond as CVLT Family will never be lost or broken... the ride home was a solitary one for me as usual, but it allows me to reflect on the friends I have made through the Blue Öyster Cult.
Coca-Cola/WRNO Stage:
6:30 - 8:00 pm - Edgar Winter
9:30 - 11:00 pm - Blue Oyster Cult
B.O.C. - the band that never stops touring!
Another knockout show!!

In order to better integrate external tools, the Confluence Connect API has been improved. The main improvements are:
- You can now manage page content history and drafts. Blueprints and templates REST API (see next point) have both been extended. What's more, metadata based on add-on properties can now be handled via REST.
- 2.0 Blueprints REST API has been released ! It is now possible to create multi-page templates (a parent page with multiple children pages) in which you can insert macros and check list content. Give it a try for yourself by reading this article.
- The custom content API allows add-ons to create searchable content on space level. This is perfect for creating structured content and integrating it seamlessly into Confluence (like Team Calendars or Confluence Questions).
Because most companies want their Confluence instance to reflect their corporate identity, it's very important for them to apply their own branding. Atlassian is aware of this need and has thus made a big investment in the theming API offered to add-on developers.
There was also a sneak peek of the upcoming cloud version of RefinedWiki's famous add-on – it sounds really promising!
Scrum or Kanban? The choice is up to your team, but whichever method you use, you'll be able to use Backlog planning. This feature has now been added to Kanban boards after being the most voted issue on Atlassian JIRA – so it must be a big relief for a many teams! Want more details ? Take a look at this article.
JIRA Core boards
Because a Kanban board suits all kinds of teamwork – not just software development – Atlassian has decided to add Kanban-like boards in JIRA Core. This means that you won't need JIRA Software to use them in your projects. They are more basic than in JIRA Software but core features like custom workflows are all present. This is a great improvement that fits well with Atlassian's goal to provide the tools to help every team unleash their full potential.
JIRA Core boards are still an experimental feature, available only on JIRA Cloud labs. You can learn more here.
BitBucket pipelines
Atlassian announced the end of life of Bamboo cloud: the continuous integration and deployment tool. It will be replaced by Bitbucket Pipelines, which brings build and deployment tasks into Bitbucket cloud.
Whether your project is developed in Java, Node.js or any other language, you just have to describe your jobs in a
bitbucket-pipelines.yml file – and that's it! Each time you commit on a branch, the configured jobs will be executed – you will be informed in minutes if your last commit broke something and if not, your feature will be made available to testers on your staging platform!
If you want to learn more about pipelines, have a look at this talk or browse the documentation.
While we've covered the most important announcements made during the AtlasCamp, many others have been made. The good news is that most of the talks are on the dedicated channel on YouTube – enjoy!
The next big event for your calendar will be the Atlassian Summit, on October 11-13 in San Jose. See you there !

International Women's Day saw the launch of new research into women's financial engagement and the publication of a unique guide for women to take control of their financial futures.
New research published by Insuring Women's Futures in conjunction with PwC highlights the importance of empowering women to engage in their financial futures, and the need for insurance and financial services firms to take action to secure all of our financial futures. A survey of a representative sample of 1000 adults in the UK by PwC Research on 1 March 2019 found:
- 27% of women feel worried when thinking about managing personal finance, 11% reported feeling intimidated, and only 15% feel it is important. Just 21% of women say they feel positive and only 30% say it makes them feel on top of things.
- 72% of women have never set up a private pension, for stocks and shares ISAs this rises to 79%, and 57% have never consulted a financial adviser.
- Only 32% of women agree or strongly agree they enjoy managing finances and 35% say talking about investments, insurance and pensions leaves them feeling cold.
"6 Moments that Matter - how to secure your financial future" is the result of a body of research led by Jane Portas, Insuring Women's Futures co-founder and Partner PwC, which identifies 12 Perils and Pitfalls that culminate in a lack of financial security throughout women's lives.
For the first time, this research has been made available in an easily accessed and actionable digital format for any woman or girl to apply to her own circumstances and plan the financial future she wants for herself.
Jane Portas, author "Securing the financial future of the next generation - the Moments that Matter in the lives of young British women", said:
"This new research into women's financial engagement highlights the essential need to improve women's relationship with risk and finance. It is a call to action for every woman and girl to take steps to secure her financial future - and to be empowered to do so by all of the people in their lives. Insurance and financial services firms, wider business, policy makers, society and women themselves all have a vital role to play. Today, Insuring Women's Futures is inviting everyone to help improve women's financial resilience. Our research and women's financial empowerment guide is geared to helping all people play their part in making change happen."
Sian Fisher, Chair of Insuring Women's Futures and Chief Executive of the Chartered Insurance Institute, said:
"If we improve financial resilience for women, we improve financial security for all. We can't change this overnight, and it will take a concerted effort to address the root causes. We're on a journey. And we can all do something right now. I encourage everyone to a look at our financial guide which will help you think about your financial future and take action via the tools and support we've signposted on our website. I am thrilled to be supported by a Market Task Force and am calling on every member firm and individual to unite in delivering our Manifesto and to be a part of our movement for change."
Insuring Women's Futures is a Programme established and led by the Chartered Insurance Institute in collaboration with a diverse range of leading insurance professionals, businesses, third sector organisations and experts on issues relating to women's risks.

Ghost of failed special session lingers
Drew White and
Tryfon Boukouvidis
LSU Manship School News Service
BATON ROUGE– Gov. John Bel Edwards on Monday listed raising the minimum wage, enforcing equal pay for women and combating sexual harassment as some of his top priorities for the regular legislative session.
The governor's remarks came in an address to the Legislature a week after the end of a failed special session he had called to replace expiring tax measures and ease a projected $1 billion budget shortfall.
Edwards began his address expressing disappointment that the session failed due to "distracting political games."
"I know you haven't been away for very long, but I hope that in the past week you have had time to rest and refocus on the work that we have ahead of us," Edwards told members of the House and the Senate. "I do not want the roadblocks of the special session to hamper us from what's most important – making life better for the people of this great state."
Edwards said that increasing the minimum wage to $8.50 an hour over two years could curb Louisiana's high poverty rate. Louisiana has the second highest poverty rate and is one of only five states not to have adopted a state minimum wage.
Employers in the state now adhere to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.
Edwards, the only Democratic governor in the Deep South, said he also supports the Louisiana Equal Pay Act, which would promote wage equity between genders. Currently, Louisiana "has the highest wage inequity in the country," he said.
A female earns 66 cents for every dollar a male earns. But "she doesn't get charged any less when she's buying groceries for her family, and she shouldn't get paid any less when she's working the same job as a man every day," Edwards added.
Ninety-one percent of Louisianans believe that an employer should pay men and women equally when they are doing the same job, according to LSU's 2017 Louisiana Survey. Fifty-eight percent of the respondents believed that women still face more obstacles than men on their path to success.
Equal-pay legislation has consistently failed in the Louisiana Legislature, despite having the governor's support.
Last May, the House Labor and Industrial Relations Committee nullified bills that would have promoted transparency in wage discussions and equal pay for women.
Edwards also addressed the need to eliminate sexual harassment based on recommendations by a task force he had created to address the issue. The proposals include protecting the identity of individuals who report instances of sexual harassment and requiring annual sexual harassment training for all elected officials and public employees.
Every person "should be able to go to work each day without fear of sexual harassment or discrimination," Edwards said. "I have said repeatedly that sexual harassment will not be tolerated in the state of Louisiana nor will we allow victims to feel bullied or silenced."
Louisiana Secretary of State Tom Schedler was recently accused of sexual harassment in a lawsuit that claims he made repeated sexual advances toward an employee and then retaliated against her after she rejected him. Edwards has called for Schedler to resign.
Edwards will support legislation that would require hazing prevention education in the wake of LSU freshman Max Gruver's death by alcohol poisoning after an alleged hazing incident last year. "Arming students with the knowledge to identify and report instances of hazing could save a life down the road," he suggested.
He said he also supports legislation that would expand efforts to end childhood hunger in Louisiana, where one in four children live in poverty, allow teachers to get tenure if they have "effective" or "highly effective" ratings for 5 out of 6 years, and enhance school safety.
The governor also urged the Legislature to create a commission that would help small businesses stay competitive by loosening certain regulations that have made Louisiana one of the worst states for convoluted licensing requirements.
He said small businesses constitute 99.5 percent of all businesses in Louisiana and employ more than half of the state's private workforce.
Several Republicans said during the special session that some GOP House members did not want to compromise with Edwards and help him solve the budget problems. Edwards, the only statewide elected Democrat in Louisiana, is up for re-election next year, and will be a top GOP target.
Rep. Marcus Hunter, D-Monroe, when asked if he thinks Republican legislators will work with Edwards, said: "The best predictor of the future is the past, but hopefully this new session brings a new opportunity for us to move forward and accomplish some goals that are in the best interest of Louisiana. We are here to find common ground."
Rep. Barry Ivey, R-Baton Rouge, said he does not believe the Legislature will pass a budget. It is "extremely difficult to get enough support on that much in cuts," he said. "It's a lot of pain to spread around, and there's not that many places to spread it besides higher ed and healthcare."

If we review the democratic system of governance in Bharat over the 66 years of Independence, what is the picture that emerges ? Alarming decline of the society, the Nation and Dharma !
1. Every field is riddled with corruption. Even noble professions such as health and education have not escaped its clutches.
2. Rampant spread of immoral and unethical life style in the society has made the life of women insecure in every part of Bharat.
3. With terrorists striking at will anywhere in the country and the Naxalites waging a civil war every day, Bharat is insecure internally as well as externally.
4. To destroy the Hindu community, Jihadi Muslims are active in various ways such as 'Love Jihad', 'Land Jihad' and Jihadi incidents are increasing with each passing day.
5. Cow slaughter taking place illegally every day has reduced the wealth of Bharat in the form of cows from 90 crore at the time of Independence to only 1 crore today.
6. The most sacred river in the world, Ganga, is polluted and is slowly getting transformed into a 'dead river'.
7. The Hindus are given step-motherly treatment in their own land, and to appease the minorities, the Prime Minister says, "The Muslims have the first right on the wealth of the country".
8. The Hindu society is living a pathetic life due to the ever rising prices, unemployment, reservation policies of the Government and Police atrocities everywhere.
O Hindus ! Remember ! The politicians of all political parties are responsible for this pathetic state of Hindus and the country. Do not have false hopes that if a party other than the ruling one is brought to power in the coming elections, the Nation and the people will progress; do not look at the elections as some ray of hope. If you think so, it will be proved that you have not learnt anything from the 66-year-old history of Bharatiya Democracy.
O Hindus ! Establishment of a Dharma-based 'Hindu Nation' is the only remedy for the social, national and religious problems of the Hindus and the country. By fighting an election or bringing some political party to power, the 'Hindu Nation' cannot be established in Bharat; but to make it a reality, we will have to have the ideal of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj before us and be proactive accordingly. Not only for the welfare of the society, the Nation and Dharma, but for the welfare of the entire mankind, it is imperative to establish the 'Hindu Nation' in Bharat. Hence, dedicate yourself to the mission of establishing the 'Hindu Nation'.
– Paratpar Guru H.H. Dr. Jayant Athavale (Phalgun Krushna Paksha 11, Kaliyug Varsh 5114 [6.4.2013])

Accidents happen all the time, and sometimes they happen when we least expect them. In situations like the ones we are about to share, accidents can happen while we're on the road following the rules. In this particular case, our client Eugenia Cajigas was in a car accident in New York City. She and her friend were driving along a highway exit when a vehicle hit her car when clearly there was a stop sign in front of them.
Cajigas, a housewife living in the Bronx, was too surprised with what's happened. She had her signal light on and was just checking the driveway to see if it was clear to cross, when the vehicle hit them. Her car sustained heavy damage, and all the while the driver of the other vehicle said he thought she was going to accelerate.
When she came to The Orlow Firm, we quickly set her up with one of our car accident attorneys. Our resident lawyer Brian Orlow made sure she was updated with her case, and offered free consultations. We make sure Cajigas felt comfortable every step of the way, as it is our job as practitioners in the legal field to protect the rights of our constituents.
Car accidents can be very tricky procedures, especially as there are multiple factors involved. Cajigas did not know what to do as this was the first time she was actually in an accident. Her records were spotless – she has a clean license and never hit anyone. The situation was very uncomfortable for her as she had no idea what to do.
As we told her, just because we're not calling her back doesn't mean we aren't working with her case. Cajigas and our clients can call us anytime, and we will be very glad to answer your queries about your case.
Feel free to contact The Orlow Firm and speak with one of our car accident attorneys in New York City, as we are sure to provide you enough details for you to be aware of both your rights and responsibilities as a driver in New York.

While many will be preparing a Thanksgiving feast on Monday, football fans know where to be instead.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers host the BC Lions with rookie quarterback Alex Brink at the helm. Brink will make his first professional start with the Bombers after the team benched Steven Jyles earlier in the week.
The colour on game day will be pink, as the football club has teamed up with the Keeping Abreast Foundation in order to raise funds for breast cancer research. Pink Bomber logo'd toques and scarves will be available for $20 each, with all proceeds going to the Keeping Abreast Fund. As well, players have been practicing all week in pink Reebok gloves that are currently up for auction.
The Bombers made numerous roster moves this week, signing import defensive back Johnny Sears and import defensive end Redmond Willis to the practice roster on Wednesday. On Friday, the team signed non-import defensive lineman Fernand Kashama to the practice roster.
Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. at Canad Inns Stadium.

Remember "Don't be evil?" Even as Twitter plans to honor Do Not Track, even on MS Internet Explorer, Google apparently won't. I mean, I don't think I buy that Google is a criminal organization, but Google is also violating European privacy law still. Sure, Eurocrats are showing open bias against Americans, but selling information about you is their business.
Heh, also in Europe, the EU passes the law that they got Aaron Swartz on, though they're probably doing it to criminalize spying. So, it cuts both ways, guys.
And now for a laugh: Kim Dotcom thinks New Zealand is going to spy on him and all New Zealand citizens. All that money he pumped into the system to buy his way out of legal trouble only goes so far, apparently.
California's government smells something fishy in Bitcoin and is going after organizations involved with it. They're complaining of course. With Bitcoin plunging in value, down about 70% from the high of the bubble, they've got to find new suckers to keep the scheme going.
Bitcoin's community is flooded with criminality. New Bitcoin-related criminal enterprises just keep being discovered. And don't even get me started in Bitcoin mining rig scams themselves.

On February 25, ASA formally urged the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG) to issue a special fraud alert regarding the "company model" and to modify existing safe harbors to prevent referring physicians from profiting from their referrals for anesthesia services.
ASA filed these comments in response to the December 27, 2013 HHS-OIG solicitation for new potential safe harbors, modification to existing safe harbors, and special fraud alerts. Under the company model, referring physicians, who typically also own the facility where surgical procedures are performed, form a separate anesthesia company in order to share in anesthesia revenue.
Over the past two years the HHS-OIG has issued two advisory opinions on the company model. Advisory Opinion No. 12-06, issued in June 2012 and Advisory Opinion No. 13-15 issued last November.
ASA has serious concerns about the impact of the company model, and variations of that arrangement, on anesthesiologists, the patients they serve, and the integrity and fiscal soundness of Federal health care programs. ASA has consistently advocated against company model arrangements.
