Tunesday Tuesday!

Rocking 65!
Dale Bozzio
Yesterday was Missing Persons front woman Dale Bozzio's 65th Birthday! Wow! I remember getting in tune (pun intended) with the band my freshman year in college via a well rounded, musically, guy in my dorm.

In fact he and I had tickets to see them in concert, but alas, the show got cancelled 😢 No worries I did see Ms. Bozzio perform with a version of Missing Persons (version meaning, not the original line up) on a double bill with E.G. Daily a few years back at the Whisky A Go Go on the Sunset Strip.

Thus in honor of my Missing Persons fandom and Ms. Bozzio's Birthday I am bequeathing you with a song that is quite timely at present by them "Destination Unknown." 

"Life is so strange when you don't know, How can you tell where you're going to, You can't be sure of any situation, Something could change and then you won't know"

Get the picture? Hit the video after the jump!

E.G. Daily Is "So Pretty"

If I Was The President Would It Be Evident...
E.G. Daily
"See me from the inside, inside out" - So Pretty, E.G. Daily

E.G. Daily is a music and film icon. She really hit big in the 80's with the movies Pee Wee's Big Adventure and Valley Girl. Oh and then there is her pop hit Say It, Say It

There is so much more beneath the surface. "Yes" E.G. has a new single and movement out "So Pretty." - Aren't we all more than meets the eye?

Are you ready? Let's get E.G!

MS: So can we talk "So Pretty?"

EG: It's basically like, um, I was writing for soundtracks for films. So I wasn't really thinking about it for myself as a song. After I wrote it, I had this really strong feeling that I needed to put it out. I felt this needed to be coming from me. So I financed it, and worked with my two partners. Now we need to get it out. It's a very important message. it's really timely, about what's going on right now. No matter whether you are a male or a female, young or old, we are judged on our outsides as people. and it's not fun, when you're busy watching yourself all the time. Why don't we be present so we can connect better.

MS: Oh Yeah. Since I have gotten older and I'm sure you will concur with this, you do care less about that stuff.

EG: Yeah, we are getting older, how much can you play? I like dressing up just as much as anyone else. I like taking care of myself, but it's no longer the priority. The priority is about connecting with each other. 
Look Inside!
E.G. Daily
MS: The less we care the more fun we have.

EG: That's my favorite message of all, once you stop worrying about yourself magic happens. Once you get off yourself and start to be present in your day to day life that's when magical things will occur. 

MS: I am obsessed with the gym and diet of late, while I get attention that isn't the reason I am doing it.

EG: You want to be healthy and take care of yourself. Yeah, you definitely want to take care of yourself especially as you are getting older. It's definitely about the bigger picture.

MS: Health is everything.

EG: I agree!

MS: It is the bigger picture, it's not like I am focused on that solely. There are a lot of other things going on.

EG: What's interesting about that is we asked people to send in videos to us about what lengths they've gone to, to be beautiful. It's funny because we got as many Men as we did Women. They would say they did things to harm themselves by not eating enough, or over exercise...some of them did surgeries that put their lives at risk, So, that's the thing. At what lengths do we go to to please other people? So when we got these videos in, it was every age range and every demographic, Male & Female.

MS: I'm not surprised. When I was young I felt pressure for that.

EG: Everyone no matter what age puts pressure on themselves about how they look on the outside. At what point is it healthy and not healthy? Where is the fun? You need to have fun! 

MS: I love being in my 50's!

EG: I do too! I love seeing my kids getting bigger and being more mature adults, it's so beautiful. 


So Pretty

MS: From a Mother's perspective how have you seen this affect your daughters?

EG: They've dealt with their eating issues their whole lives. A little girl wishes they could have the body of an older girl, an older girl wishes they could have the body of a younger girl. My daughters are very much about fashion and beauty. But, we make sure they are taking care of their insides in our household. You could have two hundred people around you doing your make-up, hair, wardrobe and nails and still not feel good about yourself. That's more of what the movement is about, That's why we have a crowd funding going on, so we can get the message out there globally.

MS: By the way Have you seen A Star Is Born with Lady Gaga?

EG: Yeah, I loved it! I thought Gaga was beautiful and transparent. I thought Bradley Cooper was great. It was a lovely movie.She got to show her talent, she's the real thing. She's real and is connected to something "So Pretty." 

Here's the 411 on all that is E.G

Michael's Musings

I Want 2 Suck Your...???
Michael Shinafelt
"I want to hold you close, Soft breasts, beating heart, As I whisper in your ear
I want to fucking tear you apart" She Wants Revenge 

My Current Mood is reflected above via the song Tear You Apart by She Wants Revenge. She wants revenge? How sexist, doesn't everyone want revenge? Especially this particular time of year? Yeah, I thought so. Only 6 more days until Halloween!

Beware of vampires playing Lakme 

Although it wasn't a lot, I gave $3 in spare cash to a Woman on the street working for Planned Parenthood yesterday. #Resist 

Every time I see Donald Trump I think of this quote from the original Halloween film "Was that the Boogeyman?"

I don't know how many times I...

A message from my friend E.G. Daily -
"This is my first piece of music released in years advocating that beauty is an inside job. Being that I am not on a label... I’m asking that friends and family join in in this movement by contributing so I can continue to be a messenger with my voice, my words, and with my heart. I’m hoping the song and its message goes global but I need your support to assist with this launch. The more amazing things that happen with So Pretty, the bigger the reach towards the message and importance of self love! I appreciate your generosity and support, if you can contribute today that would be amazing. No pressure, if anything else just share the link."

Thank you xxEG

We Are Living In An Ethereal World
Michael Shinafelt
20 more days 'till Halloween, Halloween, Silver Shamrock! That's correct peeps it's only 20 more days until Halloween. Nothing, quite frankly scares me more than the current state of the union

But most of all we all need to focus on what makes us happy during these trying times. Let's get excited, and be, be, be obscene!

I'm vulgar AF - deal with it!

Dear Donald Trump - I wanna be there when a cactus dry humps your ass. Sincerely, one of your biggest fans

Met up with E.G. Daily this week and chatted about her upcoming single and movement "So Pretty" wait for it...

It's October, mark me down as scared and horny

The American Music Awards happened??? I know this only because there were headlines about them after, but when were they actually?

My ultimate goal? Someone mean Tweets me and I get to go on Jimmy Kimmel Live and read it

Lady Gaga's ex, Taylor Kinney is praising her performance in A Star Is Born. Now you can sleep peacefully.

What horror archetype do you have sexual fantasies about?

“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door —
Only this, and nothing more." - The Raven, Edgar Allan Poe

If I keep you safe, will you keep me wild?

Bring me something that will rock my world! Do it deadbeat and do it now!

I just tripped on a ghost and got a big boo boo!

Michael Shinafelt
Hello Peeps! Wow this past week has been really great! How great was it Michael?! Well let me spill, there was a partial eclipse of the sun in Los Angeles, I saw my friend E.G. Daily perform raw (acoustic) at the Hotel Cafe, I went to the IT Experience in Hollywood and Donald Trump is still a F#ck Weasel....

It's time to extrapolate, now!

Best name ever for a club: Hissy Fist (if this confuses you, ask) 

We only had a partial, eclipse that is, in Los Angeles. Damn not a total one! I was walking down Hollywood Blvd. at the time you would think peeps were the Walking Dead when it happened.

Warrior Juan, discuss

I got stage fright during my Mandolin auditions. Truth or Consequences???

When all else fails tell people: A Bear Kidnapped Me 

Poor Little Kook

I know I posted about this, but ooooops! I'm gonna do it again. The IT Experience in Hollywood is a hoot and a holler and one eighth, yee haw!

E.G. Daily, Raw
Nobody does it better than E.G. Daily, raw! (meaning acoustic)

That time I overslept. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

The Real Man Behind The Curtain

This has been a week. What kind of a week has it been Michael? The kind where you need to ignore the little orange man behind the curtain. I'm in touch with reality, he isn't. 

If you need to ask who that is, you really shouldn't be here, or really anywhere else for that matter. 

Figure it out. It's time to move on, let's have some fun...that is all. Good times ahead!!!!

Smells Like Nixon Spirit, Only 10 Time Worse!

I'm too sexy to be thirsty

Grab a bag of cucumbers & bananas and carry on

Black Man in Hollywood this past week standing over Vera Miles Star ranting: I see you Vera Miles you're a Ni**er! Perhaps in another life.

Helpful Hint - Never drink Tejava Tea with a smoothie the acidic combo made me hurl

Ida Lickhammer made a triumphant return to my Instagram page this week

The boat belonged to a kooky old witch - the more you know

Finally went back to yoga yesterday, hate it, but love what it does for me

Fashion Police was on at the same time as Pretty Little Liars this past week. Which one did I watch???

Michael's Musings

Look Into My Eyes & Stop Staring At My Nipples
Michael Shinafelt
OK, I called this column Michael's Monday Musings last time, well because they were published on a F#@king Monday

From now on I will simply call it Michael's Musings. You never know when and where they will turn up. Are you ready? Here I go again!!! 

Thanks to a well played PR stunt on Dancing With The Stars Ryan Lochte and Cheryl Burke remain. Like they would actually have Burke kicked immediately off after her return to the show?!

If you haven't seen Don't Breathe yet and are a horror/suspense fan, from one to another, I highly recommend it, go!

To Sex-Head, I mean E.G. Daily currently starring in Rob Zombie's 31, congratulations! To the rest of you see it, see it!

I heard a Latin Woman call a Latin Man "N" word pimp the other day. Thanks Donald Trump for the perpetuating of twisted hate.

I recently dumped 13 pounds. Worship me, I am 50.

Why is everyone forgetting Angelina Jolie is Bisexual all of the sudden?

American Horror Story Season 6 is off to quite the lively start. I jumped twice! Can't wait for tonight's episode.

The humidity in Los Angeles this week is grody to the max!

 A shout out to Volcano Girl Shani Bayne who recently returned from Nicaragua producing a shoot in a, well, volcano. We met up for spin class for the first time in over a month yesterday,she had no lava burns or lamps.

To my favorite "bad girl" Ms. Traci Lords. Looking forward to attending the launch of your clothing line for Pin-Up Girl this Friday at the boutique in Burbank

That's all folks!

E.G. Daily

Hey peeps, you know all about my friend E.G. Daily...correct? Well after years of doing voice over for various things, most notably Tommy Pickles from Rugrats and acting in everything from the classic Pee Wee's Big Adventure to Rob Zombie's upcoming 31. She is back to her singing career! Can I get an amen and a yay?! Of course I can!!!

With such hits as Say It Say It and Mind Over Matter - E.G. went back to her love of singing in a big way on the hit show The Voice in 2014, she was an audience favorite! She has ridden that wave since then with two popular appearances at the famed Whisky A Go Go on the Sunset Strip. The first being on November 22, 2015 the next being this past weekend on Friday July 22nd 2016 with co-headliner Missing Persons, that's so 80's!

I attended both with Erik Rimmer. This past one I went with him and cool rider Marla Graves. All images are from that night, enjoy!!!

A Message From E.G. Daily

In the middle of one wild & crazy day yesterday, fielding what seemed like my millionth call, what to my wandering ears did I hear? But the familiar beep of a text message coming in...well it was from none other than my friend E.G. asking me this:

"Hi Sweety ! I wanted to see if you could do a little FYI to your peeps about my gig coming up at the Whisky July 22 I will be headlining w Missing Persons for a fun 80's night!"

Done and I am so in! You should be too E.G. slayed when she performed there last in November and I expect she will again since Ms. Thang is a natural born entertainer.

Also there is the bonus of an 80's theme that brings Missing Persons along for the ride.

Forget penciling it in, use a pen, how about sending a text to yourself about it. Whatever you do you won't want to miss this date! Hope to see you there!

Hello Kitty, It's Shonen Knife

Punk Rocking Since The 80's
Shonen Knife!
Celebrating 35 years of Punk, the ladies of Shonen Knife drop their sixteenth studio album today titled Adventure!

And "yes" I have been a fan all of those years. One of my favorite Knife songs is their cover of The Carpenters Top Of The World from the CD If I Were A Carpenter.

Oh, a little FYI. Before you go crazy and shit like that for the Hello Kitty reference it is stated that the iconic pussy is one or their influences in their press release, Meow!

With tracks bearing titles such as Rock-n-Roll T-Shirt, Cotton Candy Clouds & Wasabi, all of which I have heard. These women give their fans what they want and expect, a fun time!


Kurt Cobain invited them to open for Nirvana in the U.S., their first venture here. They also did a bomb ass ode to "Buttercup" voiced by my friend E.G. Daily for the Powerpuff Girls

I'm gonna give you some links below to check out. If you have yet to discover this powerful grrrrrrrrrrl band, well take the invite I am extending to you for an Adventure

The Return Of E.G. Daily




After seeing E.G. Daily perform an amazing show at the Whisky A Go Go this past November it was a no brainer she would return for another go at the venue. 

Well yesterday I got an E-mail from the Whisky saying that E.G. will indeed be coming back to play on their legendary stage on the Sunset Strip.

Tickets are on sale now for the July 22nd, yes, you heard me correctly it ain't happening until July. Talk about planning ahead, like really ahead...

E.G. will be joined by Missing Persons this time around. Even though going to see E.G. perform another home run of a concert would be enough reason for me to go, with the addition of Missing Persons I now have a bonus reason!

Missing Persons and E.G. Daily will be performing at the Whisky a go go on Friday July 22nd.   Tickets are available here, be there or miss out!

E.G. Daily @ The Whisky A Go Go

This Needs No Explanation
Last night friend and awesome performer E.G. Daily took to the stage for a one night only (but we all hope she does more) special show at the legendary Whisky A Go Go. On the famed stretch of road where she started it all the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, CA

E.G. rocked da house! It was great to see her back where she belongs on stage performing music! The audience licked it up as she served up helpings of her 80's hits Say It, Say It and a rock arrangement of Mind Over Matter. Covered Donna Summer's Sunset People and sang one of my personal faves Here It Goes Again plus many more! Also Tommy Pickles made a surprise appearance.

So let's not waste any more time, here are some photos from last night!

E.G. Daily: Back On Track

EG Daily
No Caption Needed
E.G. Daily is an 80's icon known for movies like Pee Wee's Big Adventure and Valley Girl, as well as her hit singles Say It, Say It and Mind Over Matter.

She is also known for her prolific voice over work as Tommy Pickles on Rugrats, Buttercup in the Powerpuff Girls and Babe in Babe Pig In The City.

Last year E.G. came back to music in a big way by appearing on NBC's The Voice as a member of team Blake Shelton and is continuing that momentum and performing a unique one of a kind show by returning to the place that made her a star on the music scene, the Sunset Strip. Tell us all about it E.G...

MS: E.G. I hear your heading back to the Sunset Strip and performing at The Whiskey A
Go Go this November 22nd.

EG: I'm so excited I'm going to do my classic hits, "Say It, Say It" and "Mind Over Matter" from the 80's and then we're going to do some secret fun tribute things. We're also going to do some tracks from albums over the years and some brand new songs that are soooooo good! It's going to be a blast!

MS: Fun times at a cool venue and the return of E.G. Daily to the Sunset Strip where she started it all...

EG: I've been playing the Sunset Strip since I was fifteen. So it's so cool going back decades later and playing the Whiskey.
MS: When I first moved to Los Angeles you played The Coconut Teaser (now defunct) all the time.

EG: Yeah! I haven't been to the Whiskey in a while but I used to go there all the time, and I can't wait to return!

MS: You really put yourself out there again singing last year on "The Voice" as part of Blake Shelton's team, but kept a really low profile in that area of your career prior to that, what was going on with you?

EG: I went through about a year of depression, overall is was about two years. I had anxiety, I'd wake up at three in the morning panicking and have these adrenaline shakes, all this stuff. Then I started thinking: "What's going on here? What's not working in my life?" That's what you've got to do, you have to go in, you have to reevaluate your life. Then I totally remembered that I love to sing and started doing it every day. Getting back into singing started to change my life. During my two year depression I thought my life was over.

MS: Absolutely, that's how I felt during mine.

EG: When a caterpillar dies, and you think it's dead, but it's actually cooped up. It's reborn as a butterfly. That's what depression is, but when you are going through it, it's scary.

MS: I was ambushed and someone pushed me into therapy.

EG: Good! I went to a doctor and I'm like: "What is wrong with me? I'm dying," He's like: "No you're not your depressed" (both laugh)

MS: So how was it being on "The Voice?"

EG:  I came around again, and it made me brand new!

MS: That's such a great thing about that show, the exposure is amazing!

EG: Yeah, I would have liked to stay on longer, but it was a great experience! I would love to go back on there again.

MS: You've got a new movie coming out, Rob Zombie's "31."

EG
31
EG: It's bad ass! I play a great character in it! The critics are saying it's his best movie ever.

MS: My favorite Rob Zombie movie was the other one you were in, "The Devil's Rejects."

EG: Yeah, well this one they have literally said "31" is his best ever. I have a really cool part in it. I'm looking forward to getting into more acting, with really great, interesting roles again.

MS: So, November 22nd is a Sunday night, correct?

EG: Yes, Sunday night, people should get there around nine, me and my band go on at nine-thirty and we are going to do an hour set. It's going to be a great one of a kind evening, hope to see all of you there!

Pee Wee Herman "Bowtie is the New Black"

Need I Say More?
I'm so excited, and, no, I'm not going to hide it...so there! This ayem while checking out the news, entertainment and otherwise I found this awesome item via Vulture online:

"The news has been rumored for a while, but now it's confirmed: Judd Apatow's long-gestating Pee-wee Herman movie is headed to Netflix, the streaming giant announced today. Pee-wee's Big Holiday will tell the story of how "a fateful meeting with a mysterious stranger inspires Pee-wee Herman to take his first-ever holiday." It's being produced by Judd Apatow and Paul Reubens, written by Reubens and Paul Rust and directed by first-timer John Lee (Broad City). "Bowtie is the new black," said "Pee-wee" in a statement. He's on-brand already!"

Oh Hell to the yes! Pee Wees Big Adventure is one of my favorite films, I remember seeing it my freshman year of college. It was directed by first time and then unknown Tim Burton and it was pure genius! 

Years later I sat next to him opening night of my friend E.G. Daily's one woman show Listen Closely, remember her as his girlfriend Dottie in his big adventure? That was so cool! 

The pairing of he and Judd Apatow is genius....I'm pulling for you Pee Wee!

PS - Please put E.G. in it too.
