We have a winner for the Burning toast 25000th Visitor Contest!
Our visitor hails from Baton Rouge, at least that is the node where the ping came from, and visited my lowly site at 9:53 p.m. I do not know who this is, so who ever you are, you have 24 hours to contact me in the comments to collect your prize, otherwise I will select the winner as #25025, to keep it fair.
Whoooooo are you? Who who? Who who?
Well, that sucks. I tried the old going back and forth trick to see if I could get into the coveted backup positon of 25,025. Doesn't work. I guess once you've visited for a day, you keep the same number. Oh well, I will try tomorrow. I just know that this is some kind of huge prize.
Big Brain.
No Big Brain, all you have to do is return in 20 minute intervals after your last click here. That's the basis for the count. I'd just as soon give to prize to someone I know as opposed to some Tiger-loving LSU fan!
Damn! I missed it by three. Such as life.
Well, now I have missed it by 10. Oh well.
Damn Toast - I know you're a monster fan of Neil Peart and Geddy Lee but you just posted a vid of two of the greatest musicians (RIP Keith Moon and John Entwistle) at their respective instruments that ever lived.
Dumb Anecdote: I saw the Who live in 1976 at Anaheim Stadium for the "Who By Numbers" tour and they were great. What was really awesome was the late Lowell George and Little Feat opened for the Who that night and musically kicked the Who's ass. What a delicious treat to see two great bands at the height of their powers.
BTW, I'll be the 1,000,000th visitor here in a year or so. Gar-An-Teed.
Ya know Greasy, I'd give a relatively unused body part to travel back in time and see some of these old bands during their heyday. Rush, The Who, Zepplin, many others.
I can remember seeing The Who on MTV in the early 80's, it was a live broadcast from Montreal or Toronto, either way, it was their "farewell" concert from back in the day. Although minus Keith Moon at the time, they still put on a phenomenal show and yes, John Entwistle is by far one of the most dapper, gentlemanly and underrated bass players ever to slap a string. A phenom!
As for Little Feat, my friend Nils got to see them years ago down in Florida, not sure how I missed that one, and even without Lowell and many of the others that graced that band, he said it was an awe-inspiring show!
I guess in a way. . .they're still just Willin'
