Have a good weekend

December 18, 2020, 13:14(EST) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound) 5 Comments

Seems like so much around us sucks right now and I’ve nothing positive to report on.
So, I thought I would leave you this Friday with a video from 2012 that has resurfaced several times this year and I love it.
This is the band Heart doing Led Zeppelin’s Stairway To Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors with Jason Bonham on the drums and John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page, and Robert Plant looking on…

*edit – Good friend Mr. Ed just sent me this:

Veterans Day 2020

November 11, 2020, 16:17(EST) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound) 3 Comments

Happy Veterans Day brothers and sisters. Had I the ability, I would buy you all a beer today.

Excellent article by a fellow Virginian (yeah, I choked up when I read it):
What Does It mean to be a Veteran – David Reavis
“Being a veteran is being part of a brother/sister hood, it is something that you carry with you for the rest of your life. The experience’s that you live through which you are very thankful that you did are life-altering events and can change a person within a split second.
Being a veteran means learning that the measure of a person is WHO they are not WHAT they are. Learning that the person who is a little different from you, is really just like you. They love, they fear, they care, they laugh and they cry…
”

According to the Census Bureau there are 17,418,351 veterans that make up 6.9% of the adults in this country.
Period of Service
Gulf War (9/2001 or later) – 3,772,708 21.7%
Gulf War (8/1990 to 8/2001)- 3,834,993 22.0%
Vietnam era veterans – 6,192,877 35.6%
Korean War veterans – 1,156,096 6.6%
World War II veterans – 380,327 2.2%

RIP Eddie Van Halen

October 6, 2020, 18:07(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound) 7 Comments

Eddie Van Halen, Hall of Fame Guitarist Who Revolutionized Instrument, Dead at 65
Eddie was absolutely the most popular guitarist of my generation, frequently winning “greatest guitarist” honors.
I guess I saw Van Halen play maybe 4 or 5 times. I went through a few months of personally boycotting Van Halen after Eddie married Valerie Bertinelli. I had a massive crush on her!
