...about some high school jamming and now I've been cranking "Nature of the Beast" (AW), "Pretenders II", "Crash and Burn" (PTravers) and "Holy Diver". Man, I need some help...

I can still enjoy riding down the highway on a sunny Saturday morning, listening to The Captain and Me by the Doobies crankin'...

Pat Travers did some great stuff. His live album rocked, a real 70's classic. And how Politically-INcorrect is "Boom Boom Out Go the Lights", anyway? - LOL.

"Politically correct?"

"Snortin' Whiskey" (from Crash and Burn, so it's gettin a big ol spin right now!) takes that prize.

Hey guys,

I met Pat Travers at the Swedish Rock Festival in June 2004. I was standing on the side of the stage performing to a cool crowd of people. Afterwards, I got to meet him and shook hands with him. Very polite, congenial person. Pat Travers doesn't drink anymore so his sobriety has improved his career and personality.

I got to meet Pat April 2004 outside a Cheapsmith...err Aero Trick ummm, You know what I mean show, :P:wub::P

He was very laidback and chewed the fat for a second with me about Hamers. I told him about the Korina Jrs and Specials.

How long ago was this?

He is a different man these days, totally clean. If you met him now you would ask yourself if the first guy was an imposter.

Yeah....I might have met him at a bad time in his life.....he was pretty much in the bag as far as drinking goes.....I'm sure he's really a heck of a guy and I did'nt mean to sound as if I had judged him for life with my first reply regarding Pat Travers....cuz god know's...I'm a real asshole myself when drinking......and yes....your personality changes when your not in a fog all the time....NAH....I'M STILL AN ASSHOLE.....lol :P

I asked him if he knew what time he had

He said he wasn’t sure, maybe a quarter past

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70’s

I peered in his eyes as we stood in line just to have a look

But the pages I found looked like an unbound coloring book

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70’s

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70’s

It’s not reality, just someone else’s sentimentality...

It won’t work for you...

Baby boomers selling you rumors of their history

Forcing youth away from the truth of what’s real today

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70’s

Stadium minds with stadium lies gotta make you laugh

Garbage vendors against true defenders of the craft

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70’s

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70’s

It’s not reality, just someone else’s sentimentality...

Look what it did to us...

(Speakin’ as a child of the 70’s)

The kids against the 70’s...

Kids against the 70’s...

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's
