Today in history 10-19

[johnnie]

Very very slim pickins today. Plus, these bastards here at work expect me to do some work once in a while. x(

Todays "Day in History" will be a bit different. So here ya go:

1998 - Mark Nieto filed a lawsuit against Aerosmith for alleged hearing loss after he attended an Aerosmith concert

Now, this guy must be one of the whiniest people on the face of the Earth. It is almost as bad as when I saw The Black Crowes open up for ZZ Top. People were calling the radio station the next day complaining that Chris Robinson had chugged some JD and some of the spray got on them. :eyes:

It is a rock concert people! It is loud and nasty. So Mark Nieto... you're a wuss!





1966 - The Yardbirds arrive in New York for their first U.S. tour, with Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page on lead guitars. Two days later, Beck leaves the tour and the band.

What's the matter Becky boy? Thought ya had it made in the shade when Eric Clapton quit the Yardbirds and then Jimmy Page joins the group. How come you couldn't tough it out, but instead you go start a band with Rod the Bod.

Mr. Beck, you're a wuss.


Oh, and nice jacket :eyes:






1998 - George Martin, "The Fifth Beatle", retired from the music business.

OK, George Martin was a recording God. He most definitely played a huge part in the success of The Beatles and was behind the board at many other great recording sessions. But wait.. he got a little old... "whaaaaa, my ears hurt". :cry: "I can't see the little knobs on the console no more", :cry: "I'm gonna make a ton of money talking about The Beatles the rest of my life". :woohoo: Yeah well, your ears might have gone and your eyes might have gone, but considering all the books and interviews you have put out since then, I guess the memory is working just fine.

You're a wuss George

Hey, check out the guy in the middle. I hear he is mean to gold diggers.





1962 - Happy Birthday to big bad Evander Holyfield.

Most of you might know him as Mike Tyson's dinner platter on their second meeting after knocking Tyson out in the 11th round in 1996. In the second fight, Mike started gnawing on Evanders ear and eventually was disqualified. So what happened Evander? Not man enough to knock out some freak that is (literally) chewing your ear off?

You're a wuss dude: (I hope to God he doesn't read this)

Happy Birthday to Peter Tosh.

Tosh, if he had lived, would have been 62 today. Peter Tosh was truly one of the great Reggae performers of all-time, and a great leader for the Jamaican people. On September 11th, 1987 he was shot dead in his own home. Although Peter could handle enormous amounts of Ganja, he apparently couldn't handle small amounts of lead.

What a wuss:


Yeah yeah yeah, if Lenny Bruce would have said it, you all would have thought it was genius.







2005 - The MTV Video Music Awards Latin America are canceled. The awards show, derailed by Hurricane Wilma, is originally scheduled to take place the day earlier, but is then moved up a day. Ultimately the show is postponed.


A Hurricane? A friggin hurricane? Look, I have seen Telemundo, you Latinos wiggle and jiggle and flip and flop your bodies around like an epileptic fish out of water, and you're worried of being shaken up by some wimpy hurricane?

What a bunch of wusses.







1812 - French forces under Napoleon Bonaparte began a retreat from Moscow.

Wusses

LOL, he looks pissed




1997 - Glen Buxton, guitarist for the band Alice Cooper, dies of pneumonia at 49.

So this dude was a mega star in the 70s (where I hear a bit of partying went on), toured with one of the biggest drunks in music history, slept with probably every woman he came in contact with, played some of the heaviest music of their time and had to sit through Alice's rambling bullshit for years, and a lung infection took him down.

Schoooooooooooooooooools............ out......... for WUSSES! :headbang:






2000 - A judge ruled that Robbie Williams had substantially copied lyrics on his song 'Jesus Was A Camper Van' from the 1961 Woody Guthrie song 'I Am The Way' and also used parts of a parody by Loudon Wainwright III. EMI Records had offered 25% royalties but the publishers Ludlow Music were demanding 50%.



Who is this guy anyway? I am thinking he is one of those singers all the chicks dig. Ok, I checked it out, I guess I was right. So he has to steal music to get laid huh?

Well, I found this picture and it looks like poor Willy is looking for his willy. Maybe Hank III stole it to teach him a lesson:

What a thieven' wuss:





1994 - During a Pink Floyd show at London's Earls Court a section of seating collapsed, over 1,000 fans attending the sold out show escaped any serious injury.

The Lunatics
Fell on their ass

Ok, I have to say it, that seating section was a huge wuss:

I like Syd:






1980 - AC/DC kicked off a 20-date UK tour at Bristol Colston Hall. The bands first gigs since the death of singer Bon Scott.

Bon couldn't handle his booze.

He is what I call a liquorwuss:






1973 - Elvis and Priscilla Presley were divorced after six years and one child.

OK, so Elvis did a bit of screwing around, ate pills like they were pistachios (I love pistachios), shot guns at TVs, pictures, walls and people, had 50 people around him at all times while not paying attention to his wife, toured 300 days a year, had really really bad taste in home decorating and did I mention screwed around?


So what was the problem Cilla? Couldn't ya take it?
What a "Wuss a wuss of Burnin' love":




OK, that's it for today. Can you tell I am in a little bit of a cranky mood?..LOL
Actually, I'm fine... it's the rest of the wusses in the world that have a problem.
