Must be slow news day. Everywhere the question has been raised

as to what color Santa Claus is. All because some whire news lady

stated as a matter of fact, "Santa is white". She also went on to say

Jesus was a white guy but that's another story for another time. The

facts are what they are as to Santa's appearance. I won't rehash but

the jolly fat white guy I refer to as the coca cola Santa because the

vision we have of St. Nick is the one the coke company fed America

in the 20th century. Santa can be whatever color you want him to be.

Why here in Houston we even have Pancho Claus and he's brown!

So shut up. Stop trying to throw a turd in the punch bowl.

Tom Wagner was going to pay a visit to his sister. He boarded
a plane in Louisiana and was headed to Colorado with a stop over
in my hometown, Houston. Tom fell asleep on the way to Bush
International. When he awoke he found himself in a dark plane all
by himself. He got up to leave and realised he was locked in. He
eventually was able to use his cell phone to get his girlfriend on
the line. After a couple of minutes and laughter he was able to
convince her to call the airlines. They told her that it was impossible
they sweep the planes after arrival. Nobody could be left on.
Work crew was surprised to open the locked door and find Tom.
The Supervisor demanded to know where his worker I.D. badge
was. The Tom informed the guy he was a passenger, not an
employee and had been locked in. The airline gave him a voucher
his troubles. Word is he plans to return, stopping in Houston but
will be well rested on the return. Personally if a guy was sleeping
on a flight and we landed I would give him a nudge let him know
we landed. Nobody on the flight including the crew bothered.

You would think after many many years of interaction with the fairer
sex I would learn to keep my foot out of my mouth. Here's advice for
young stoopid guys. Remember this, If your significant other starts to
talk smack about one of their siblings you keep your mouth shut. Just
nod and repeat. Never agree with them verbally or offer up your two
cents worth. That is unless you want to be the next target of the verbal
assault. It's okay if she wants to trash her lazy brother but not you.
You just nod and repeat. And remember, testosterone makes men do
stupid things all the time. Estrogen makes Women never forget it.
Be cool, let's rock.

Rockcast Monday.11.11.13a; A Tribute to Lou Reed. Starring Lou Reed, The Little Willies, The Primitives, The Killers, Simple Minds and The Velvet Underground

I remember as a teenager having the opportunity to meet Lou Reed. I was afraid to

approach him because the man had this steel eyed gaze and stern look that made him

scary to me. I was convinced that day the man was a force of nature. Being into the

guitar players of the day I was completely impressed by his playing. He was a very

underrated guitarist. His deadpan vocals were by no means Robert Plant but it allowed

normal guys like you and me to sing along without straining a cajones. Of course all

of us have at one time or another sang "Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side"...

It wasn't until a decade later my roomie Tom Quieros [Props Tommy Q!] reintroduced

me to Lou's music catalog. Truly an American original and one of the great twentieth

century story teller songwriters. Listen to this set and you will hear what I'm saying.

God Bless ya Lou!
