For this week’s musical interlude, I thought I’d pick a classic 80′s band that is active to this day-Def Leppard. Here are some excerpts from their website, and select videos… 1977 In November, the first Def Leppard rehearsal takes place in a spoon factory near Bramall Lane, Sheffield (UK). Lead singer Joe Elliot, bass player Rick “Sav” Savage, guitarist Pete Willis, and drummer Tony Kenning just renamed the band from Deaf Leopard (a name first coined by Joe Elliott at school in 1975) to Def Leppard. At Christmas, the band perform their first gig for six friends. Six songs are [...]

Saturday Musical Interlude: Journey Edition
For this Saturday, I thought some Journey might be good. Enjoy! From their official website… The release of Eclipse marks the latest chapter in a rock ‘n’ roll saga that started more than 35 years ago in the San Francisco Bay Area. Guitarist Neal Schon left home at 15 years old to join Santana. In early 1973, Walter “Herbie” Herbert-a guitar tech and later manager for Santana and Journey-floated the idea about forming a new band around Schon, whom he called “the quintessential guitar expressionist of the time.” Joining with two members of the popular local act Frumious Bandersnatch-former Steve Miller Band [...]

Sunday Links: Cars and Music with a 50's Focus Edition
As I look back at the links posts, I realize that I’ve been doing them for about a year now. I’ve themed them most of the time, and covered everything from cartoons to holiday themes. I have to be honest, I had no idea what the theme would be for today. Then, I thought of what’s been covered. The two most typical themes are cars an music. At that point, it hit me, why not combine both? So, for today’s theme, I bring you cars and music. The era is the 50′s. Enjoy the links, cars, and music. Thanks, Rush! [...]

God & Guns
Since I began contributing to Conservative Hideout 2.0 many of you have gotten to know me as a staunch Conservative, unabashed and unafraid of that label. But there is another side to me that may surprise some of you. I spent the better part of two decades traveling this great nation of ours as the road manager of a rock band that I would bet none of you have heard of. But in that capacity, I made acquaintances with many names you might in fact know. I also worked for some of those bigger names. My band toured with Head [...]
