Snowplowing Day In Russia

Parking on Snow Plow Day

Hótolvaj bandát kapcsolt le az orosz rendőrség. Jellemzően Moszkva és más nagyvárosok közterein (parkolókban, játszótereken, parkokban, stb.) űzték tevékenységüket, komoly károkat okozva ezzel a nagy orosz télnek.

According to Google Translate, the caption reads:
“Snow thieves switched off the Russian police. Typically, Moscow and other large cities in the public spaces (parks, playgrounds, parks, etc.). Driven activities, causing serious damage to this great Russian winters.”

Saturday Matinee – Brownsville Station, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, The Bart Walker Band & The Black Lillies

Three-man bands have to rock, and Brownsville Station had a crankin’ hit in 1973 with “Smokin’ In The Boys’ Room” and were never heard from again (until Mötley Crüe did a crappy cover in 1985).

Ozark Mountain Daredevils‘ “If You Wanna Get To Heaven” was a hit in 1974, even though the harmonica tag could be played by a 6 year old. Hard to understand how they followed up that decent 70s country rock anthem with “Jackie Blue,” but the music industry moguls sucked big ‘ol honkin’ donkeys back then. (Come to think of it, they still do and I’ve hated pop music ever since.)

Never heard of these guys until the missus started laughing – at the audience. Hot stuff by The Bart Walker Band.

This starts out as early morning cross-country roadtrip music from The Black Lillies and it rolls from there.

Have a great weekend, folks. We’ll do something stupid tomorrow.
