Today is the 30th anniversary of the release of the Batman soundtrack from Prince. I was fascinated by it and the film which I saw in the theater at least twice, but I think three times. I watched it over and over and over when it came available on home video. I also loved the soundtrack because I loved this era of Prince.
So, here’s the big single from the album, which I loved.

So, it seems my video to help people get around town and find awesome businesses was a success. Someone even wants one of my shirts! I know it seems I’m giving a lot of love to those same businesses but really I’m open to all local businesses. It just seems that, right now, the SOB40 businesses need the most help and I feel it’s my duty to bring attention to them.
One of the COOL businesses south of Business 40
So, let me reiterate the awesome businesses that are in this area.
Wood & Thread Boutique
Willow’s Bistro Winston-Salem
Di Lisio’s Italian Restaurant
Wag! A Unique Pet Boutique
Twin City Hive Coffee Lounge
Camino Bakery Brookstown
Meridian Restaurant
Alkali Hair Studio

I made a video today to help people who are having trouble getting to the businesses just south of Business 40 or Salem Parkway or whatever you want to call it. The businesses, as I’ve said all week long, are in need of help. You can give that to them. This video is just three of the many, many, many ways to get from the north side to the south side of Biz 40 or what we call SOB40. The quality was a lot better before I posted it… I don’t know what happened there.

No, it’s not 3B’s graduation day, but 30 years ago today I walked the stage to get my diploma. This song, which I was always indifferent to was #1 this week 30 years ago. Enjoy the cheese, y’all.

Today is the 39th anniversary of KISS’ Unmasked album. It wasn’t well-received and I think it’s grossly misunderstood. If you take away the KISS aspect, it’s a really good pop album. One of my favorite tunes on the album is “Naked City” and this is a cover from one of the KAOL (KISS Army OnLine) albums that showed up in the mid- to late-90s. It’s all instrumental, I believe we have lost the young lady who did the song. But, enjoy this version!

“Street vampires in the night. Young lovers and love at first sight. This is my flesh and my fantasy. Older women with younger men. I’ve got a feelin’ I’m in trouble again. But I’ve got to live my destiny. In the naked city, it’s a race with the devil. All the pain and the sorrow. Is there more tomorrow? In the naked, naked city.” – “Naked City” (Simmons/Poncia/Kulick/Castro)

Last Wednesday, on The Less Desirables, The Carolina Cobras and I made a big announcement. Now that a week has passed and another episode of the podcast has dropped, it’s time to discuss the announcement a little further. Or is it?
I’m not going to say what it is. Instead, I’m going to give you the opportunity to hear the announcement all by itself. I put it into a convenient video so you can just have it play in the background but can watch it if you’d like. Here’s the video:

So, we didn’t record The Man Who Ate the Town this week. But, I had the bright idea that I was going to resurrect the “Appetizer” aspect of the old Tart & Tangy Triad podcast. The “Appetizer” was the video aspect of the podcast. That stopped when we stopped doing that. I want to get back to it. 
Well, after an hour of setting up the stuff and recording the video, I couldn’t get the files converted to do some editing until just about 10 minutes ago and it’s 11:20pm as I write this. So, I was unable to get it going tonight. Therefore, I was prepared to talk about something else. I apologize that this is shorter than it could be, or just didn’t have something more in-depth to talk about.
I hope to get this done soon. Thanks for reading anyway.

We didn’t do The Man Who Ate the Town again this week. This time it was Kelly’s turn to miss as she had something she had to take care of. Next week, though!
I do want to say a very special thanks to DiLisio’s Italian Restaurant, Washington Perk and The Humblebee Shoppe for their support of us, as well as Test Pattern Studios.
Something different for today’s post, though. Here is Jeffrey Dean Foster and Karon Click (McKinney) doing “Under Pressure” at the Ramkat’s opening gala with the Vagabond Saints Society. I was the only choir member that was on this song (other than Karon) and I got to make a few cameo appearances in it. Thanks to Gregory Silva for the video!

“‘Cause love’s such an old-fashioned word and love dares you to care for the people on the (People on streets) edge of the night. And, loves (People on streets) dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves. This is our last dance. This is our last dance. This is ourselves under pressure.” – “Under Pressure” (Mercury/Deacon/May/Taylor/Bowie)

So, Gene Simmons is my musical hero. His stage presence, his business acumen, him. I love it all. Is he an arse? Yes. But, he is the reason I picked up an instrument at all. I have grown to really get into Carol Kaye just because she has been on so many classic albums and was the strong powerful woman in the man’s world of studio musicians. So, to see Carol teaching Gene something on bass is just funny to me. I need to go watch the whole documentary, soon. Enjoy!
