And your video of the week... the "classic" Red Hot Chili Pepper's Under the Bridge. I hate to admit that this can be classified as "classic", but this song came out 18 years ago [1992]. The difference between 1992 and the year the Eagles released Hotel California (something I would have labeled a "classic" in high school)? 16 years. In other news... I feel old.

    Now that was a busy week!

    This Friday please allow ME to get you that first drink! You earned it.

    Love the Peppers, "Under the Bridge" and "Otherside" always get me going.

    Here is a huge test if you are "old" like me:
    Do recall the Skateboarding film "Thrashin'" starring Josh Brolin (who would be Brand in "The Goonies" and then Moss in "No Country for Old Men")? In that film the Red Hot Chilli Peppers play a smal club and they were wild! Ok, now I feel old.
