Normally I would have band practice today,\u00c2\u00a0 but today I resigned from the Fresno band, Sugarfly. I like the band-mates, they are good guys, I loved the musicianship; guitarist Chris and drummer Brian are superb players. I also looked forward to working with former CPG vox Jason again. But the musical direction we were moving toward was not the type of music I want to play. The songs we were working on incorporates styles similar to Black Crows and Jeff Buckley. I want to do songs that are more pop oriented; songs that follow the sensibilities of artists such as Dire Straits, Police, and Neil Finn \/ Crowded House. For all the reasons to be in the band, I know I would not have been happy over an extended period of time, so I decided not to string them along. Now they can find a player who is into the same grove that they are. Even if I hadn&#8217;t quit the band, I would have stayed home today anyway, as I seem to have caught a nice little cough from my students (thanks guys) and have been feeling under the weather. I needed the rest.<br \/>\nSo anyway this afternoon I tuned into the HD channels on the telly (that&#8217;s British for television), and ended up watch two of the more horrible movies ever made. First there was Orca. It&#8217;s a Richard Harris vehicle about a fisherman and his killer whale &#8211; a really, REALLY pissed off killer whale. Before I tell you anything about the movie, you should know two &#8220;facts&#8221; of nature that will explain everything:<\/p>\n<p>1. Whales, unlike selfish humans, mate for life.<\/p>\n<p>2. If the whale mate dies, the whale will forevermore wander the ocean, depressed over its loss, pining for the fjords.<\/p>\n<p>So at the beginning of the movie RH&#8217;s character, Bill, or Charlie, or whatever, catches, on accident, a female Orca in his fishing net. Well instead of immediately cutting the thing loose, he drags it shipboard, &#8217;cause if he doesn&#8217;t, he&#8217;ll lose the rest of the catch in the net. Greedy bastard! By taking the out of the ocean, he dooms the whale to death. But before she dies, she stillbirths a cute, little, premature baby Orca. Here&#8217;s the problem. The mom&#8217;s mate is watching the whole thing from the water. Killing his soul-mate is one thing, but causing the death of the little orcaling, well, this means war!!! The rest of the movie is a whale-tail of revenge. I won&#8217;t bother you with the details, because it is not worth either your time or mine. Lets just say it&#8217;s cool when Bo Derek gets her leg bit off by the whale, punishment no doubt for bad acting, and revenge IS a dish best sered cold.<\/p>\n<p>The other movie was &#8220;Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone&#8221;.\u00c2\u00a0 Google it. It is sooo bad, it doesn&#8217;t even have its own Wiki page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"It%26%23039%3Bs%20Bad%20Movie%20Saturday%21%21%21\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div><p>So, here I am at home on a Saturday afternoon.
