Defending Lars Again
I'm 4 minutes in and I'll just say it: why does Lars have to give away his music for free? Why does Lars not wanting a leaked version of a tune - his song - to be distributed make him greedy? No one believes it but I don't own any of Metallica's music. Lars does. If he doesn't want to give it away, who has the authority to make him do so? Not you and not me!
But what about when he traded tapes of his demo? Here's your answer: *he* decided to do that because he's the only one who can!
Why do you think Patreon and similar platforms exist? So that the creators can pay their bills. "But Lars has a huge amount of money!" And? So what? I don't really think the money amount is important. It could be $5 or $500 or some other number. Why should someone be forced to distribute their work for free?
This whole thing took place a long time ago and I was alive and a fan when it didn't. I've defended Lars to so many people and had the same discussion about all of this. The overall vibe seems to be that Lars should have to give away his art for free because fans bought his art before but now, he has enough money. My answer is "What authority do you have to decide if Lars has too much?" That's when I typically have to defend his drumming, which is its own hornet nest...
Ana Navarro Chokes up About Bad Bunny, Makes THESE Claims About Treatment of Latinos
What is she babbling about? Did she really have to say "pregnant women" in her tirade? At least she didn't say "pregnant persons" - a micro joy has been given to me from her... I don't really know what she is talking about during the rest of her word salad...

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1983): 20 Weird Facts You Didn’t Know!
From the video description:
------------------------------------------------
Released in 1983, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi marked the dramatic conclusion of the original Star Wars trilogy. While the film delivered epic battles, emotional character arcs, and one of cinema's most famous endings, its production was filled with strange decisions, unexpected compromises, and behind-the-scenes moments that fans rarely hear about.
In this video, we explore the weirdest and most surprising facts surrounding Return of the Jedi, from costume choices that nearly changed iconic characters to creative conflicts that reshaped major scenes. You'll learn how the Ewoks were far more controversial than audiences realized, why certain dark storylines were softened at the last minute, and how production limitations forced solutions that accidentally became legendary.
We also reveal lesser-known Star Wars movie facts involving practical effects, deleted ideas, and on-set challenges that pushed the cast and crew to their limits. Some creative choices were driven by technology, others by marketing pressure, and a few were simply the result of last-minute panic.
Whether you're a lifelong Star Wars fan or someone who enjoys uncovering weird movie facts, this breakdown offers a fresh look at a classic sci-fi film. These behind-the-scenes details show that even one of the most beloved movies in history was shaped by uncertainty, risk, and some truly bizarre decisions.

OBITUARY Announces March U.S. Shows Feat. CASTRATOR, INTOXICATED & ACID BATH - Metal Injection
Pelham, TN, would be the only show I would consider and only because Acid Bath is on the schedule and I would love to hear this tune in concert.
Milwaukee Metal Fest 2026
There's zero reason I would attend this festival in Beer City... there's some bands that might be interesting ... certainly not enough for me to pay for a ticket!!
Decision Destroyed Trust Between D & B
This powerful and emotional scene from Roseanne delivers one of Dan Conner's most intense parenting moments in the entire series. What begins as excitement over a long-awaited motorcycle ride instantly turns into a devastating confrontation when Dan discovers Becky secretly took his bike without permission.
The argument goes far beyond the motorcycle. Dan realizes that despite all his compromises, fights with Roseanne, and efforts to trust Becky, she still went behind his back. The betrayal cuts deep—not because of the bike, but because it represents a complete breakdown of respect and communication between father and daughter.
This episode shows Roseanne at its most raw and realistic. Parenting isn't played for laughs here—it's painful, messy, and unresolved. Dan's anger isn't loud for comedy; it's quiet, disappointed, and heartbreaking. Becky's apology comes too late, and for once, there's no easy fix.
Scenes like this are why Roseanne stood apart from other sitcoms. It showed working-class family life without softening the consequences. If you've ever been a parent pushed to the breaking point—or a teenager who crossed a line they couldn't undo—this moment hits hard.

HOW TO MAKE A KILLING - Trailer 2
Metallica was working on a tune called "Temptation" when they were recording "Saint Anger" and I wish the people behind this movie would have reached out to Metallica and have asked if they would consider releasing it as a part of this movie's soundtrack. That would have been awesome!
This is the trailer:

5FDP 20th Anniversary Tour 2026
What is missing in their tour?
Iowa, the state that loves 5FDP, the state that 5FDP claims to love...
They go to Milwaukee, Shakopee, MN, Chicago, & Saint Louis - in that order, stopping in all the surrounding states... and not even Moline, in the Quad Cities, gets to host them for one night.

I don't think I will see them on this tour 🤔...
Making a Case
Conan O'Brien, during an interview/talk at the Oxford Union on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, criticized some stand-up comics for focusing mainly on shouting "F Trump" rather than crafting funny material.
"Some comics go the route of, 'I'm gonna just say F Trump all the time,' or that's their comedy… You've been lulled into just saying 'F Trump, F Trump, F Trump…' and I think you've now put down your best weapon, which is being funny, and you've exchanged it for anger."
A decade ago
A decade ago, I would never have predicted that I would be playing Serbi's drums at Serbi's memorial jam session. That's surreal for me to think about...
I can't fathom what I would have done differently between then and now regarding my friendship with Serbi. Would I have made more effort to be with him?
Fuck yeah!
When I go down this logic trail, who will not be alive 10 years from now? Will I even be alive?!? I certainly hope I am and for some decades after that too!

How crazy that this is 6 years ago already?!? I know that the interaction between Paul Heyman and R-Truth is included in the R-Truth compilation videos elsewhere on this blog. On top of that, no one would have ever predicted that Heyman would turn on Lesnar, like *ever* in 2020...

Paying Tribute to my friend at the Serbi Memorial Jam Session
I owe myself a dedicated page on this blog for my best friend Serbi's life as I have not posted anything about what the past month has been like for me. I also owe this blog a recap of 12-17-2025--> 2026-01-09 as those 3 weeks were 3 weeks of the highest and lowest moments of my life in recent years. In fact, I had two huge things going on in my life simultaneously. Maybe this post becomes a dedicated page about those weeks...
For the time being, the video below was posted on Saturday, 1-10-2026, and I wanted to post what I wrote in the video description on my blog.
For context, this is video from 1-3-2026. Yes, that's me playing drums on stage at the Ideal Theater in Cedar Rapids, IA, in the NewBo area.
If you listen all the way to the end of the video, one of the vocalists gives props to the drummer who doesn't know that song we just finished playing. I had said that I didn't know it as a joke but she took me seriously.
However, it turns out that I didn't play drums per the recording that everyone has heard. For example, I switched to the hihats when I should have been bashing the crash cymbal so I realized that and switched.
Overall, it was such an amazing night and to be playing Serbi's drums felt like I was truly paying tribute to my friend.
As of now, I don't really have any confidence that anyone has video of me playing Van Halen's Ain't Talking about Love, which until video evidence refutes these words, I played it flawlessly!

From the overhead perspective, it looks like a big reach to get the cymbal with the holes or the one that is even further right!
The groove is seriously great in this video!
