This is your brain on drugs...

There are some eternal questions out there...

Is there life after death?

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop?

Will Van Halen ever take David Lee Roth back and be a family again?

Well, we might have an answer to one of these soon enough!

Check it out...



Roth Predicts Van Halen Comeback
By Gary Graff
Reuters

DETROIT (May 26) - Now that he's lost his radio job, David Lee Roth is seeking gainful employment in another capacity -- as lead singer of Van Halen. Again.
"I see it absolutely as an inevitability," says Roth, who was deposed by CBS Radio in late April as one of Howard Stern's replacements. "There's contact between the two camps, and they have legitimate management; Irv Azoff is part of their loop now.


"To me, it's not rocket surgery. It's very simple to put together. And as far as hurt feelings and water under the dam, like what's-her-name says to what's-her-name at the end of the movie 'Chicago' -- 'So what? It's showbiz!' So I definitely see it happening."



Despite that claim, Roth -- who was Van Halen's singer from 1974-1985 -- acknowledges that he hasn't seen Edward Van Halen "in a couple of years." The last time Roth recorded with Van Halen was for the group's "Best Of Van Halen Volume 1" album in 1996, though there have been periodic rumors ever since.


Roth isn't sitting around while he waits for the call, however. He joins the John Jorgensen bluegrass band for two songs -- "Jump" and "Jamie's Cryin' " -- on "Strummin' With the Devil: The Southern Side of Van Halen," a bluegrass-styled tribute to Van Halen. Roth calls it "a detour" as well as "an interesting return ... Before there was rock 'n' roll, there was me and a single guitar, flat pickin' Doc Watson (songs)." Roth plans to make a number of TV appearances on behalf of the album, which comes out June 6.


Roth is also planning to tour later this summer to play Van Halen hits -- "I'm so proud of that music," he says -- favorites from his solo album and covers. He'll leave the banjos and fiddles at home, though.


"I like to bring out the brass section now and the keyboard players and the singers and so forth," Roth explains. "It's probably a little closer to the Rolling Stones' revue than to the early three-piece power trio. But the demand is amazing; I guess I'm lucky enough to be one of those guys now who can point at the map and say 'Let's go here' -- or, rather, my favorite expression, which is 'Let's follow the sun."'


I for one am in the "Van Halen is just not Van Halen without David Lee Roth" camp. I always was. I married a "Van Hagar" fan and that has been a fun 10 years... I will admit that I like alot of Van Halen/Hagar hits. But given the choice? I want the original...

Here is what cracks me up... Reread the bolded portions of the interview with Roth. This egghead has fried his brain! It's not rocket surgery? Water under the dam? I was cracking up. I hope he still has a little bit of star power - - at least enough to sing their songs like he used to.

See kids? His interview is a perfect example of Why you dont do drugs. Stupid - - so stupid that the reporter didnt even correct it - - how sad.

So which side are you on? Van Halen with David Lee Roth or Van Hagar?

Well, the results are in

American Idol...
I was an occasional viewer - - minding my business, living my life - - then Crystal would hound me about watching - - drawing me in to the evil black box called television. She's done this to me often... First 24, then American Idol, then Lost... she also got me to watching Young and the Restless regularly again.
There is a special place in hell for her - - waiting - - with a broken TV there just to taunt her.

ANYHOO - - -
Tonights the night. Season Finale. Taylor or Kat... I am typing this in real time - -It's 8:45, almost time for the announcement of the winner.

The thing is - - the odds are stacked against Kat. WHY? I have no clue...
She's phenomenal. She's beautiful. She has star quality. Last year was such a toss up - although I am really glad Carrie Underwood won, being from Oklahoma myself.

Taylor has been consistant, I'll give him that. I personally do not like him, or his style. Now, I didn ot say that I didnt think he had a good singing voice or any talent. I think he does - - but the whole package? I just don't see it. Whatever.

Well, here is the moment. They are about to announce the winner.
Hang on guys...

Whoa Prince. Prince is performing. I cannot believe hes on American Idol... He seems to big, too iconic to be on AI.

Dude, Prince should have borrowed Taylors Purple velvet jacket tonight!

WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO ANNOUNCE THE WINNER??


Okay - - the real announcement time is here... Geez.
Grrrrrr. It's not like I dont know that Taylor's going to win.

OMG - another song my Kay and Taylor - - ewww it's "Ive Had the Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing. My husbands probably in the bathroom retching, LOLOL

Can we PLEASE KNOW the results??

This is so funny - - Crystal is about 6 seconds behind me in Tulsa. We are on the phone together right now. I will know 6 second before her... LOL

Taylor Hicks.

He's the winner - - huge surprise (dripping with sarcasm)

I really hope next season is better.

And I really hope Kat does better than him in record sales, acting, whatever she wants to do.

I bet you guys are going to be so pleased that you wont have to hear my AI blogs until next season...

:)

BTW - -
I am still SOOO sick of hearing "Soul Patrol"... Who is the actual soul patrol? Are their members? Is there a membership fee?
These question haunt me... LOL I have to let it go.
Alright people. I'm spent.

VOTE FOR KAT



This freakshow should get docked several MILLION votes for this jacket alone...

Guys... its ROYAL PURPLE.

"Hello, Taylor? Liberache called from the afterlife... he wants his jacket back..."

I am so disgusted by tonight that I can hardly type.. So they give Kat a sucky song to sing and write him one perfectly tailored to his voice? Can we say RIGGED? It wasnt a fair fight tonight.

GUYS -- GET OFFLINE AND vote for Kat

What next....




I loathe Brittney Spears entirely...

Here she is, speeding down the highway in curlers (hot) with baby Sean Preston all slouched over in his seat FACING FORWARD.

Now, my daughters used to fall asleep and slouch over like that - that's not what bugs me here - that will happen, although, with all her money, she still didn't buy on with the padded bar that goes in front of him. And appearantly, no one can read directions at her Spears compound about how he is TOO LITTLE to be facing forward. In fact, that car seat is HUGE for him. Again, he could be a projectile baby. Doesn't "Mr. Kevin Spears" know how to do it? He's had 2 other children as well.
All of it just proves (yet again) that you can take the rednect whore out of the sticks but ya just can't take the sticks out of the redneck. Tha girl has swamps for brains.

Turn that car seat around you stupid redneck blonde with money!

GRRRRRRRRRRR

I fear for baby # 2

Connor Edward


Please read this buddy.

I have a site meter on my blog, and I was looking through the locations of where people that are looking at my blog live. I sat stunned for a minute. Ft. Meyers. Once, twice, I kept counting - - 4 times so far that I could find. My mind raced.

"Is that him? Is he looking for us?"

C'mon now - - that town in large - - anyway could be browsing from there.

Then I thought that you might have found my MySpace. I don't hide. We want you to find us.

I searched for you on myspace and found you - - my God, you are gorgeous. You've grown so much.

It may not have been you that was looking at my blog, but whatever the situation - it led me to finding YOU - and staring at a picture of a guy's myspace that has the face of this little man that used to have me wrapped around his little finger... You.

Connor, I know that you probably have some pretty bad feelings about our situation. Please understand that there are always two sides to every situation and hear us. At least hear us baby. We miss you. We've missed you all these years. Our kids look at our photo albums of you and know you are so important to us, and that you are our child too. You are looking so much like your Dad.

He loves you, and his heart hurts for you - the missing puzzle peice in our lives.
I have sat and hugged your Daddy while he cried - cried because he wants so badly for you to be in his life. No matter what - don't EVER think that you are not in our minds and hearts all the time.
***********
Please open up to us and talk to us. If you want to be angry - be angry, sad, happy - whatever, but TALK to us. Lets please try a life of being in each others lives again. Dad and I want that so badly. You Dad is so incredible. So cool. And I want to you to know him and he needs to know you - - you both are missing out on a HUGE chunk of your lives.

I love you Connorman. We love you and miss you.

Stunned.

I havent been able to blog. Call me silly.
I just was so shockes, so unbelievably stunned with last nights American Idol results show that i was too pissed to blog.

(I know, sad, right?

For those of you that are just getting back from your cruise to Mars, Chris Daughtry was kicked off the show.

WHAT?

There are not words.

Has the country gone mad?

I swear this solemn vow...

If Taylor "full body seizures" Hicks wins this show I will not watch it ever again.

BOOOOO America. You should feel ashamed of yourselves... FOR SHAME!!

Please do us all a favor and burn up the phones voting for Katherine.


I need.........a hobby.

American Idol's Elvis Fest

So tonight was Elvis night on AI. Tommy Mattola was "helping" the singers and they all sang Elvis songs.

Blech.

I do like Elvis - but a whole night? Anyhoo, I'm worried about tonight.

Here's my rundown...

TAYLOR
Jailhouse Rock - Eeeehhh. Somebody please explain what that half walk, half crawl, crouched over thing he does? Please? It's driving me crazy. I agree with Simon - Karaoke with a capitol K.

In the Ghetto - B-O-R-I-N-G. I was so sleepy!
Here's what I think - for whatever it's worth. Taylor is a good singer, he has a commanding onstage presence (even if it is a really wierd one) and people really like him - HOWEVER - I just don't see him as a huge star - more like a Branson star. And trust me I know those after spending a summer singing in Branson. They are a dime a dozen - - all very good singers in their own right but not stand out stars.

And thats all I have to say about that.

CHRIS
Suspicious Minds - I know you all think that I am sooo partial to Chris (I am) and that I think he will win the show (He'd better)and all, but I do have some criticism about tonight. His first song was not that great - no WOW factor. LUUUVED the sunglasses though - - he took them off and sang to me. LOL
A Little Less Conversation - Loved it. I thought he took a risk singing a hard song. It seriously takes a good singer to sing that much in such a short amount of time. He pulled it off Wellllllll.

Elliot
If I Can Dream - Is it me, or are Elliot's songs starting to sound more and more the same every week. It's the same every week with me - - that boy can SING. I just can't stand to look at his funky mouth. VENEERS Elliot darling.
Misery - Did really well. Really, Really well.

Kat
Hound Dog - At first I though "bad mistake" but then she pulled it off. Oh wait, halfway through the song she messed up her words. OOps. I personally thing that the real show of showmanship is covering you mistakes - - we all have them. She had hers in the spotlight and covered nicely. I am worried though. I don't know that she was strong enough.
Can't Help Falling In Love - Beautiful. Simon was wrong. The natural swell of the song calls for drama - otherwise, you are just another lounge singer or singer on Cruise Ship singing Can't Help Falling In Love... again. Still - - not hte best for Katherine. Im reaaaaaaallllly worried guys.

So what do I think?

I'm not really sure. If it was up to me? Taylor and Katherine in the bottom two with Taylor finally going home.

However, that goofy sucker has such a following - - "the soul patrol" I think he calls it?

I hope Katherine doesnt get screwed. She had a rough night - - the only girl in the top 4 and having to sing Elvis. Geez. Of course, Elliot could be the big surprise and go home tomorrow.

Alright guys - I'm going to bed.


I still think it SHOULD be Chris and Kat in the finale with Chris winning it all.

BALD IS BEAUTIFUL

Especially when it comes to Chris Daughtry...

My God, didja watch that man take command of tonights show from the get go?
He sang Renegade better than the original! He is SUCH the star!! He was exhausted by the end - you could tell

Lets see - - the rundown...

Elliot - I thought he did well on both songs tonight, however, when you are down to the last few weeks, you need to have a song or songs that outshines all the others... he did well, but he was not giving any WOW to me.

Paris - She sang Kiss. In. four. inch. heels.
It was rough - probably because she did way too much walking.
The Mary J Blige was better but again it's kind of the Elliot factor. No major Wow factor there.


Chris - - look above!

Katherine - - I love Phil Collins - - she should have left htat one alone - - but that made me think - they need to do an American Idol/Genesis/Phil Collins Show next season!
Her second song? Dont know what its called - - LOVED IT. In the floor - - with the guys on the box drums - - so cool. She did awesome.

Taylor - I Loved his first song! (Play That Funky Music White Boy) Cant stand to watch him though - - its like he is having seizures.
Second song - Something. The Beatles? Didnt like it - - I was yawning.

CHRIS AND KAT GUYS - -

Who's going? I predict Paris
Can anyone tell me why in Gods name, my flippin side bar is down at hte bottom of the page?
How can I pull it back to the top??
Help guys!
