  1. "Time wounds all heels"

    John Lennon's response when he received his green card for permanent residency in the USA and was asked if he had any bad feelings about President Nixon, Attorney General John Mitchell, South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover for wanting him deported.

    Heel: a contemptible person : a person who is self-centered or untrustworthy


  2. I think all Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knob fans know that Mike and the group didn't write all the songs on the new LP.  We've been listening to these songs for years, let alone see the Knobs play them live around LA over the years. This LP is not the big deal it should have been. Sorry Mike, just my opinion and I hope it makes your next LP better, see ya later......Nurktwin.


  3. There's nothing to say on this topic, The Knobs just wrote and recorded a song that copies their idol's from the 60's, Beatles, Stones, Kinks and so on. There's nothing great here, it's just rehashed 60's music! BUT, then again, you aren't children of the 60's, are you? So you have a lot to learn about music! Where do you think Mike, Tom and all the musicians of the 70's, 80's and more learned their licks? It was the 1960's.


  4. I've been listening to Neil and Rush for years and especially these last few days. Neil is the greatest drummer of all time and I've seen a few! Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, Ginger Baker, Keith Moon, Ringo Starr and John Bonham are all great drummers, but none compare to Neil Peart. He was truly a drummers drummer, he did it all. Watching him live or even listening to him on a CD in your headphones gives you chills, he was that good. His drumming reminds me of the 4th of July fireworks with bombs bursting in air. The power and percussion of his playing just literally blows you away!  R.I.P. Neil, we'll miss you.
