Gimme' That Expensive Spread


Sad news from Roseville, CA, where Sammy’s Rockin’ Island Bar and Grill will close after a mere five months of business. The grill, owned by Sammy ‘The Red Rocker’ Hagar, was a “major part of Roseville’s Downtown Specific Plan”. After the restaurant closes it’s believed Hagar will redirect his focus to making terrible music, while the town of Roseville promises this one setback will not deter it from centering future downtown revitalization plans around projects owned by butt rockers.

    Alas, they seem to have already removed the online menu. I was keen to read the list of food and drinks I wouldn't order.

    Sammy was mas popular when I resided in Texas, many years ago. I could never understand the attraction, but he did do us the favor of replacing David Lee Roth as the VanHalend singer-in-residence...thus sparing us many years of Mr. Roth's unique vocal stylings. Because of that, Sammy is OK in my book, no matter how bad his restaurant may have been.

      I can't knock DLR because he's an aficionado of minstrelsy and because he recorded the classic Ladies' Nite In Buffalo?. This amusing poem references him.

    The poem lacks rhythm, I think, but the bit about the multitude of croaking Dylans is spot on. DLR actually sounds pretty good in "Ladies Night", certainly better than Dylan , who really is croaking these days (cigarettes, I suppose). And DLR has better chest hair than both Dylan and Maria Callas.
    This doesn't make me a fan, though. I will never forgive Roth for "Beautiful Girls."

      His crimes are many, but in degree never equal the atrocity that Hagar's lyrics to 'Red' are.

More Brief Reviews of Movies I haven’t Seen

Brokeback Mountain: A love affair between a pair of homosexualist cowboys ends tragically when one is killed by a horse . The actors playing the leads are (supposedly) straight. Includes graphic sex scenes. If you are into this sort of thing stay home and rent the spaghetti western Django Kill...If You Live, Shoot! instead, it's a weird and entertaining film that includes an honest depiction of homosexualist cowboys - an entire gang of them. Memoirs of a Geisha: A trio of Chinese honeys infiltrates Japan by disguising themselves as whores. The potential of the premise squandered, as unlike the homosexualist cowboy film Memoirs of a Geisha is only PG-13. The Producers: A pair of real life homosexualists (Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane) portray heterosexual Broadway musical impresarios. Notice the pattern. Do you understand 'Hollywood logic' works now? King Kong: I’ve decided the old-style stop-motion animation is better than tedious modern CGI effects. The latter mechanical...

Misc. Hate

A Mustiphino has been spotted wandering the halls of Congress. The deranged babblings of an SPLC apparatchik inspired me to coin the word hatefact . Hatefacts are unquestionable facts about immigrants , blacks , women , homosexualists , et al., that the SPLC and those sharing its ideological inclinations deem “hate” or “hateful” to mention. UPDATE: It seems I unwittingly stole the idea for the word hatefact from Peter Brimelow, who used the term “hate facts” in a speech last November .
