Rockcast Wednesday.10.21.09a; Foreigner, Los Lonely Boys, Rockin' Bonnie & The Rot Gut Shots, Animal Kingdom, Terry Reid, REO Speedwagon, Edgar Winter, Raveonettes, Boo Boo Davis

I remember when I was a kid I always could
find something better to do than homework.
I figured I had the time to get it in. Most of the
time when I did this I did not get it done. What
I did do was come up with every excuse in the
world you could think of. My personal favorites
include it being washed away in a flash flood and
being unable to do it because I had been kidnapped
by Religious Deprogrammers. (A popular approach
by some in the 1970's. They would have their kids
snatched because the kids didn't have the same views.)
Meanwhile back on point, homework excuses. I
know them all so I have to almost chuckle when my
12 yr old gives me the same lame excuses. You know
it always sounds better in your head but when you put it
out there, totally unbelieveable. So I have to play that
Dad card and put my foot down. Of course kids think
We don't understand and are just freakin' stoopid.
When I was 17 my Father was the dumbest man I knew.
Funny though over the years he has gotten smarter. ;-)

Big Al,

Michael Murphy does a pretty good job in REO's version of "Without Expression"
