At age 59 no less. Preston had had a kidney trasnplant in 2002, but the organ began to fail him and put the artist into a coma last November. My fave Billy single has always been “Outa-Space” b/w “I Wrote A Simple Song.” It was in a pile of 45s of my older brother’s and I grooved to both tunes as a young lad. I shall refrain from any cliched sentiments such as “Get back to where you once belonged, Billy. RIP” and other such silliness. I will even refrain from a “Nothin’ From Nothin’ Leaves Nothin'” sentiment. Man, I still dig “I Wrote A Simple Song.” Those horns in it pwn.

Awww yeah. It’s now time to pay lip service to a guy with too much time on his hands, Mr. David John Oates. His site on supposed “reverse speech” has revealed a gold mine of hidden backwards messages through the years. Oates doesn’t only do it with music, but with speeches of dead presidents, famous celebs, and oidinary, everyday folks. That’s right, people. Your subconscious truly contains the TRUE hidden meanings behind what we say in our everyday speech! The devil is in the details, kids. We are Satanic and evil. We all secretly want to urge people to fuck, smoke dope, and praise Satan. It cannot be changed because reverse speech holds the key to our destinies!
So here I am at another pitstop in search of hard rockin’ Satanic rawk. I’d like to turn your attention to the Christ Rocks site, in particular the “An Ozzy fan meets Jesus at a rock concert” section. The guy used to do sit ups to Ozzy albums! He lived for rock and roll! Amongst his fave bands were AC/DC! He loved the pretty girls, but “it always seemed that when they would finally go out with me, they turned out to be Christians!!!” As a senior in high school, his bitch told him to take a hike, that “I was a jerk and to top it off soon I would be on the bottom of the heap in my first year of college. I freaked out. I tried to listen to more music to ease the pain, but it didn’t work. Iron Maiden let me down, Ronnie James didn’t satisfy my soul like he used to.” Awwww, poor lad. He even played “Stairway To Heaven” backwards and then got really scared shitless!
Soon enough, some other chick invited him to a Christian rock concert. He accepts, and lo and beiold, “I took 20 kids to a Christian Rock Concert in Tacoma. I was totally shocked. It was the coolest thing I had ever seen. The opening band was so horrible that we almost left. When the main band took the stage my mouth dropped on the floor. The lights went out and the fog machine churned out it’s atmosphere. Out of the mist came a guitar player who just JAMMED. Better than I had ever heard before. He was dressed in leather and a Harley shirt. I couldn’t believe my ears.”
During the concert, one of the rockers asked everyone to pray. What happened after the prayer? Well I shit you not, but, “I never smoked another joint, nor did I drink ever again. I struggled with pornography but thanks to God and other men of God who I have been accountable to, I am delivered of that as well. God is amazing. You don’t try Him, you live Him.”
Rock and fucking roll. Now where’s that Satanic rawk I’ve been looking for?
Tom Petty is apparently considering filing a lawsuit against the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It seems that their single, “Dani California,” sounds an awwwwwwwful lot like his song, “Mary Jane’s Last Dance.”
Next up, Roger McGuinn sues Tom Petty for basing pretty much his entire career on the Byrds.
Okay, I’m just kidding. Mostly. But if you go here, you can listen to clips from each song and decide for yourself; they ARE pretty damned similar…
Not because Sgt. Pepper got dethroned, but because 40,000 people have decided that Oasis’ Definitely Maybe is the best album of all time. So a Beatles wannabe band beats The Beatles. Oooooookay. There are tons better albums than Sgt. Pepper out there (including Revolver, which has now slipped to #3 on the pollster’s choices), but Definitely maybe isn’t one I would have picked by a long shot.
