SURPRISED?? Hey … no need to be!
Y’see, I’d planned to be back many, many moons ago, after I got all my other business in order (a coupla other blogs, a zillion business reviews, a handful of articles, and … well, read on).
And, now, I’m expanding this little kaffeeklatsche to include more than just rock! You’re gonna find news items (and more) that just might tempt yer mental taste buds (don’t worry … I made ‘em high on protein, low on calories!).
But, first, a quick update:
First: Remember The Rock Relic? Well, he’s/I’m now (and by readers’ request) The Electric Eagle! Seems I let it slip awhile back that the bald avarian was my moniker back-in-the-day, and folks like it better than a “relic” (which basically just sits around collecting dust, anyway).
Second: I’m now the official U. S. Press Agent for the amazing and wildly popular UK band, THE FORE. You’ll be readin’ more about ‘em here as time goes on (hint: next issue!). Until then, catch ‘em as they update their blog every week!
Now … on to business:
WILL FERRELL DOESN’T BEAT AROUND THE BUSH!
The Double-E has learned that Will Ferrell is gonna star as George W. Bush in a Broadway show that opens in February.
The name of the show is “You’re Welcome America: A Final Night With George W. Bush” at New York’s Cort Theater, and they’ve got previews already in place to debut (of all times) on … Inauguration Day (man, talk about yer slap(stick) in the face)!
The show’s gonna take look at Bush’s life — from college days to governor of Texas to the 2000 race for president and his terms as our less-than-appreciated Prez.
Ferrell, who poked fun at the 43rd Chief with his successful impersonations on “Saturday Night Live,” says he likes the fact that Bush “never thinks he’s wrong.”
“He’s arrogant with a school-boy attitude, and combine that with the fact that he is commander in chief — and, unfortunately, it’s very funny.”
He says viewers should “expect the unexpected” from the show — and some goofy nicknames, something Bush sometimes gives to members of his own administration!
The show’s gonna premiere on February 5 and run through March 15.
And, if ya can’t make it to the show, don’t worry: HBO has picked up the show, to air live on an undetermined date.
And, according to drummer Joey Kramer, Aerosmith has gone back into the studio to resume work on their first album of all-new material since 2001’s Just Push Play.
“Today is the first day Tom (Hamilton, Aerosmith bassist) and I are getting back together,” writes Kramer. “We just rehearsed for two hours and it feels so good! We can’t wait to get back into the studio and get back out on the road to do what we do best.”
The new Aerosmith album has been disturbed several times due to personal problems but is set to see the light of day at some point in 2009. Meanwhile, the band has a date scheduled for February 1st at Venezuela’s Estadio Olimpico.
Okay … that’s it for this go-’round, but stay tuned … more is comin’ up shortly. Until tomorrow (well, that’s “shortly”, isn’t it?) remember to
keep yer eyes on the skies, yer feet on the ground, yer heart with each other … and I’ll see ya on the flip side!
