HEY THERE!
Down in miami, doing miami stuff!
beach, pool, massage, repeat.
in between i work out and walk and eat stuff with quinoa in it.
i have to tell you about the melvins new record, tarantula heart.
if you hate metal, then stop reading this.
but you'd think after 40 years in the business Buzzo et al would not be inventing new stuff.
but the first song on this record ("pain equals funny" ) might be the greatest metal medley ever. i know i'm using the term "medley" incorrectly - but what to do you call a 20 minutes song with separate parts, each one classic?
you can get the album on iTunes. but i include the youtube link below.
again, if you're not into metal, you will find this abrasive and perhaps insane. so don't listen to it just to complain about how noisy and irritating it is. if you love metal and hard rock, this will be hit you in the face.
but for me its equal parts Stooges, Kiss and Hendrix, with Buzzo in front.
Congratulation to @Steve-allen. . Your questions were chosen for tonight’s Ask Greg and the Panelists.

What person did you realize that you totally misjudged after meeting them?
What is something stupid you did as a teenager that still scares you when you think about it?

Some Aviation? History -
August 2, 1819, Frenchman Louis-Charles Guille became the first person to successfully execute a parachute jump in the United States. He performed this historic feat before thousands of spectators gathered in New York City.
Flight and Descent Details
The Launch: Guille ascended from Vauxhall Gardens in Manhattan inside a basket attached to a large, hydrogen-gas-filled balloon.
The Release: Upon reaching an altitude of roughly 8,000 feet, Guille deliberately cut the cords connecting his basket to the balloon.
The Parachute: As he fell, his umbrella-shaped parachute unfurled. The entire apparatus—basket and all—drifted through the air.
The Landing: He drifted across the East River and landed safely in Brooklyn, New York.
Historical Impact
While this was the first parachuting event in American history, it was not a global first. French aeronaut André-Jacques Garnerin had already completed the world’s first successful high-altitude parachute descent outside of ...
