Who's Your Daddy?

Father Figure
Michael Shinafelt

Happy Father's Day!

While my Father passed away a while ago from Cancer, lung to be exact, this year I thought I would take a different approach to the designated day for Dad's. 

That's correct it's time to play "Who's Your Daddy!" Yay! Hooray! 

Now that it's out there, perhaps I could be yours. My name is Michael, I'll be your Daddy tonight. Hey, it wouldn't be the first (nor last) time I've ever been called that.

After all "I will be your preacher teacher, (Be your daddy)", Father Figure, ya know.

To all you Father's out there it's your day, celebrate. To all you Daddy's out there, keep doing you.

Michael has left the laptop...

Hey Queen!

Did You Hear The One About...
Meghan Markle & Queen Elizabeth II

How many Duchesses does it take to make a Queen smile? Apparently just one if you happen to be the Meghan Markle Duchess of Sussex. 

Whatever Ms. Markle said to Queen Elizabeth II must be worth it's weight in gold. Seldom has anyone every seen HRH this giddy with delight.

Further proof that Meghan was the perfect commoner to become Royal. Let this be a lesson to all of you, a sense of humor goes a long way. 

Happy Saturday - and remember to smile Queens, smile!

Just Because...Polka Dots & Portman

Don't Forget To Dot The "I"

Natalie Portman

Just Because my computer crashed today. Just Because I now have a sparkly awesome new one & Just Because the first thing I saw when I got set-up and logged on was this, and it made me smile. Why It's none other than Natalie Portman working a polka dot dress.

Polka Dots are fun and so is Portman's infectious smile while sporting them. Let's face it, very few people can pull off "dots" Natalie slays and then some in them.

Finally I am up and running and coming at ya on the good ole WWW again. 

Now aren't you happy? Yeah, that's exactly what I thought you'd say....

Keep on doing you!

Michael's Musings

What's Black & White & Read All Over...
Michael Shinafelt

"I'm outta time, all I got is four minutes" - "4 Minutes" Madonna/Justin Timberlake 

Even thought 4 Minutes is one of my least favorite songs ever. Sorry Madonna & Justin, not! This refrain is how I am feeling at present. "Yes" I said present, so shower me with gifts minions!

Ask me about how much patience and understanding I have at "present" it will turn into one of the worse gag gifts you have ever received. Moving on...

I f#cking miss Tina Turner, she's simply the best, better than all the rest...

Did a photo shoot with artist Daniel Dehnert yesterday, that is all 

If you are ever feeling powerless, just remember one of your pubic hairs can shut down an entire restaurant 

Went to the Gay Pride Parade in Los Angeles this past weekend. It was epic - that was not a compliment

Finally I cracked 170 and now weigh 169, that's correct minions I'm bringing sixties back!

When someone asks if you give a damn, be honest

Remember when damn was actually considered a curse word? "Yes" I am old

And then there's Maude -

Have you heard?! Mike Clifford crooning his awesome cover of Carole King's Will You Love Me Tomorrow? Here's your chance, after the jump!

Happy "Oh What The Hell" Day!

If at first you don't succeed, figure it the f#ck out

What's new pussycat?

Miley Cyrus, MIley Cyrus, Miley Cyrus

Have yourself a good day, and do what's right

I'm gonna take you out, on the neon side of town

This Tour Ain't D.O.A!

I Licked It, So It's Mine!
D.O.A.

D.O.A. East Coast / Midwest "Fight Back" Tour dates announced

 

Godfathers of Hardcore 40th Anniversary Tour - July 2018

Punk is the new black!

D.O.A., the pioneering punks who set the bar high for punk and basically invented hardcore, are ready to rip it up on the occasion of their 40th anniversary. Their new album is called Fight Back and they are embarking on a worldwide tour to support this impressive new effort. The "Men of Action" are ready to take on all opposition and lay down a punk rock path of wild music and free thought. Their rough and ready line up is led by the Godfather of Hardcore, Joe "Shithead" Keithley (guitar, vocals). He is more than ably accompanied by the manic rhythm section of Paddy Duddy (drums) and Corkscrew (bass). Early reviews indicate that Fight Back is the most innovative D.O.A. album since War on 45. D.O.A. has always been right on the pulse of what's going on in our screwed up world. Fight Back deals with what we have left, which in a lot of ways, is not much.  "When you really think about it, income inequality and disparity is at the root of a lot huge problems, like environmental degradation, war, sexism and hate" said Keithley who has been fighting the good fight for the last 40 years. It's why he's made TALK - ACTION = 0 his lifelong mantra.  Fight Back, released on Joe's own label Sudden Death Records, is a scathing and timely piece. Joe deals with all manner of unseemly low characters and issues. The album opens with acerbic "You Need an Ass Kickin' Right Now," next rips right into the startling "Killer Cops," then smashes into the anthemic "Time To Fight Back," which is street punk resistance at its fiercest. The album proceeds with the timely "Gonna Set You Straight" with violent and natural ease, and continues with the vitriolic "I Just Got Back From the USA." Then, the album takes a funny twist with "We Won't Drink This Piss" (down with bad corporate beer!) and "You Can't Stop Me," a song in which Joe delves into the character of Slapshot's playing coach Reggie Dunlop (a natural alter ego perhaps). The "Men Of Action" are returning to the US for some unfinished business. TOUR DATES: 7/13 - Lombard, IL @ Brauerhouse 7/14 - Green Bay, WI @ Lyric Room 7/15 - La Crosse, WI @ Cavalier Theater 7/16 - Saint Paul, MN @ Turf Club 7/17 - Davenport, IA @ Daytrotter 7/18 - Toledo, OH @ Frankies 7/19 - Ann Arbor, MI @ Blind Pig 7/20 - Cincinnati, OH @ Mad Frog 7/21 - Buffalo, NY @ Mohawk Place 7/22 - Brooklyn, NY @ Brooklyn Night Bazaar 7/23 - Washington, DC @ Black Cat 7/25 - Philadelphia, PA @ Voltage Lounge 7/26 - Cambridge, MA @ Middle East 7/27 - Montreal, QC @ Parc Jean Drapeau

"You Need An Ass Kickin' Right Now" is the first video from D.O.A.'s new album Fight Back. Canada's legendary punks have always delighted in sticking it to pompous and despicable characters, so this new video carries on their fine tradition of defiance and irreverence. "In our modern world that is stuffed with ever increasing episodes of racism, sexism, greed and warmongers, it's time say enough is enough, time to fight back," said Keithley, the fearless leader of D.O.A.  In "Ass Kickin'" he takes on callous and tragic characters like: Kanye, Putin, Harvey Weinstein, Xi Jingping, Trump, and many more. "My only regret is that the song is only one minute and 20 seconds long, so we ran out of time to include more," concluded Keithley.

Monday Motivation

Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie

After a weekend of massive errands, work and the endless Pride Parade I need much motivation and today that takes on the form of caffeine, you know, coffee.

"Yes" I know Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are no longer together. "Duh" I also know this is a publicity still for Mr. & Mrs. Smith. All that being stated this is about Monday Motivation, not current celebrity commentary minions.

What better way to motivate me than eye candy. The former love birds shot in glorious black & white, each engaging in a cup of java is perfection, no? I asked you, and I'm waiting for an answer...seriously, speak up!

It's time for me to say so long, farewell...the kitchen is alive with the sound of brewing!

Yep, I am outta her, the thirst is real.
