GLASS HOUSES // LYRICS
I see through you
I know what you are
I've seen the Devil more than I've seen God
I see through you
I know what you are
I've seen the Devil more than I've seen God
Cover your ears and shut your eyes
Because what I'm about to say is gonna ruin your night
This is a call out
And I'm not scared to drop some names
You've dug your grave and you have no one but yourself to blame
I see the world in black and white
Because true color always fades under the right lights
I see through you
I know what you are
I've seen the Devil more than I've seen God
And when he has you by your neck
I hope you choke on every fucking word you said
You've run out of luck and I'm calling your bluff
You stabbed me in the back but not deep enough
But not deep enough
I see through you
I see through you
I know what you are
I've seen the Devil more than I've seen God
And when he has you by your neck
I hope you choke on every fucking word you said
I see through you
I know what you are
I've seen the Devil more than I've seen God
And when he has you by your neck
I hope you choke on every fucking word you said
You said I'd never make it
You said I'd fall on my face
But now I'm right where I belong and I put you in your place
You said I'd never make it
You said I'd make a mistake
But now I'm right where I belong and you've got nothing to say
I see through you
I know what you are
I've seen the Devil more than I've seen God
And when he has you by your neck
I hope you choke on every fucking word you said
I see through you
I know what you are
I've seen the Devil more than I've seen God
And when he has you by your neck
I hope you choke on every fucking word you said
You stabbed me in the back but not deep enough
Cyanide818 – Phantom Lord - Metallica Cover – Live at Garden Amp, 10/31/25

Bayside - Two Tunes for a Monday
If you hunted long enough, I believe I have these videos embedded in an existing post or page on this blog. However, they are phenomenal tunes. I'm disappointed that I am not going to see Bayside on Friday, June 19th in Davenport. I don't think that they would play either of them in concert that night.
https://youtu.be/ ADh7KQHEzkY - The New Flesh
Because I love Bayside, here's another tune!

Neon Grave by Dayseeker on 2026-05-10 in West Des Moines, IA
Alex went to the Dayseeker sold out show last night without me. He sent me this video. Can I just say that Mother's Day is not a good choice for concerts, just like Christmas and Easter?

Scott Jennings DESTROYS CNN Panel
Scott Jennings leaves former Daily Beast editor-in-chief speechless in an embarrassing live moment on CNN.
John Avlon attempted to make the case that Republicans were so racist they haven’t elected a black Republican governor since the reconstruction era.
That’s when Jennings fired back with a SAVAGE reminder.
AVLON: “We’ve obviously got some serious steps. We haven’t had an African American Republican governor since reconstruction. Um, I mean, you know, there’s unfortunately an imbalance in the two parties—”
JENNINGS: “The Republicans tried to elect one in Virginia.”
[Avlon looked stunned]
AVLON: “Okay...”
[Jennings laughs]
JENNINGS: “Then you got a white Democrat who gerrymandered the state!”
“It’s all crumbling John!”
CNN quickly ended the segment and cut to commercial.

Last Night David Hogg REGRETTED taking on Scott Jennings on CNN
From the description:
----------------
Scott Jennings left 26-year-old left-wing activist David Hogg stumbling live on CNN last night.
Hogg tried to claim anyone with an “elementary school understanding” of foreign policy could have predicted the Strait of Hormuz closure.
Jennings left him speechless with one simple question.
HOGG: “Anybody with an elementary school understanding of foreign policy could have told you the Strait of Hormuz was going to get shut down, and that is exactly what happened.”
JENNINGS: “And who controls it right now?”
[Silence]
“Who controls the strait right now?”
HOGG: “How high are...why are gas prices so high then?”
JENNINGS: “Why were they high during Biden’s administration? Did you like that?”
[Jennings laughs in his face]
“You’re using last week’s talking points David, WE control the strait!”
“We are in charge of this conflict right now.”
Hogg: 😶
This is what happens when you send a BOY to do a man’s job!

Trump can go after Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Candace Owens and I shrug. He goes after Alex Jones and I say slow down there sir
Trump goes after Riley Gaines and I say woah thats a bridge too far.
Trump is nuking his political support across the board recently. Maybe he's just old with no election coming up.

Mamdani Promises REVENGE Against White New Yorkers
Growing up, I remember reading about NYC and seeing images of NYC in media and thinking about what if I lived there.
When I was in elementary school, I read a novel called "Children in Hiding" - and I still have it. The novel is about Tomas and Fernanda, two kids who live in NYC. I won't go into the plot but, basically, Tomas learns that they will be put in an orphanage because their parents don't come home. He finds an abandoned apartment and the two of them live there, surviving on scraps. Tomas is a hustler and ends up meeting a photographer named Barbara who takes him to the beach for a photo session. The story ends up working out for them. I wanted to live like that, buying into this romantic idea that life in NYC was the best. On top of that novel, I would read issues of Modern Drummer with interviews with drummers that lived in NYC, soaking in each detail revealed about their lives in The Big Apple.
Fast forward to May 2018. My family drives from Iowa to NYC. We take a train into NYC. We go to the 9-11 museum and see remnants of that horrible tragedy. In the cab, on our way to Central Park, I saw the famous Soup Nazi restaurant from Seinfeld - probably the only episode I ever have watched. We stay in a hotel in Times Square and go to The Lion King and eat at The Hard Rock Cafe, seeing a Count The Stars sticker on a door. The next morning, we go to Good Morning America and end up being on TV with Michael Statham, calling my in-laws to talk to them on a video call. Then we drove up to Syracuse and then to Canada.
I'm certainly not an expert about NYC. I'm certainly glad I never lived in NYC, especially when I watch the Actual Justice Warrior YouTube channel and hear Shawn describe the craziness happening in NYC.
Case in point, this video:

SCSA-v-The Rock - 2001
Marching to WM XXVII
In the footage from the 2001 Royal Rumble, I am very surprised that the video didn't switch to black and white because of the red blood flowing out of SCSA.
TDS Exhibit A
I didn't agree with President Obama or with President Biden on a lot of topics. A rant like this from an elected member of Congress? I can't say it crosses a line because tomorrow, there will be a new line. I seriously don't know how I am supposed to make peace with a crazy person.
I'm old enough to remember when the two political parties were about different objectives and priorities, not telling the POTUS to F off. No wonder Iran and Russia and China are all looking at the USA like we are not cohesive... obviously, we're not!

Sincere Engineer 'Twist My Tongue'
Without a doubt, SE have hit it out of the ballpark with this new tune. I'm excited about how the two new tunes that they've released are both bangers!
I enjoy this tune in many ways - the lyrics are sensible and tell me that everyone has people who they struggle with.
--------------------------------------------------
I bit my tongue so hard
It almost fell into my lap
I'm sick of being scared of
saying things I can't take back
There's just no way out
And that's just the way I feel
Next time I'll speak my mind
But now I guess I'll give it time to heal
I bit my tongue so hard
I almost split it right in half
I just had to disregard it
Cuz I can't think of a comeback
There's just no way out
And there's just nowhere to run
I'd like to have a word with you if I
Could only find the one
And I shoulda said something, but I really said nothing
Yeah, I shoulda said something
Before I twist my tongue and clench my teeth
And let you get away with saying that to me
I bit my tongue so hard
It hurt so bad I almost laughed
The jokes on me I guess
As clever as a call back
There's just no way out
And that's just the way I am
Gonna tell it to your face next time
With no answers written on my hand
And I shoulda said something, but I really said nothing
Yeah, I shoulda said something
Before I twist my tongue and clench my teeth
And let you get away with saying that to me
Watch what I say, watch what I do
I watch my mouth sometimes when I talk to you
And I shoulda said something, but I really said nothing
Yeah, I shoulda said something
Before I twist my tongue and clench my teeth
And let you get away with saying that to me

EE on Easter with a Simple Message: Get Ready

The Darkness Grows
Erick-Woods Erickson
Apr 1
Many Christians around the world will, today, participate in the Tenebrae, a religious ceremony where candles in churches are extinguished to represent the growing darkness in Holy Week.
Two thousand years ago, Judas Iscariot went out to negotiate away the life of Christ.
In the Gospel of John, John used a Greek literary device to highlight right and wrong choices. Read the Gospel and you will see Judas and Peter often together in the same story. Both betray Christ. One abandons all hope. The other seeks and finds restoration. John’s subtle message is to be a Peter.
Jesus chose Judas to be an Apostle. Jesus knew Judas would betray Him. Judas saw the miracles, and Judas was empowered by Christ to perform miracles.
5 These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans, 6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying; give without pay.
Matthew 10:5-8 (ESV)
Did you catch that? Jesus empowered the man who would betray to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, and cast out demons.
Judas, in a bit of irony, would play an instrumental role in raising the dead.
A few days before Jesus’s death, Judas went out into the night, and the darkness began to close in. The man whom God Almighty gave power betrayed God for his own advancement.
We live in the end times. People are turning away from the God of all creation for the old gods — the idols and the damned. People want their ears tickled. They do not want salvation. They want affirmation. Instead of a savior from a spiritual crisis, people want political power that papers over the real problems.
You can feel it all around you. Something is off. Something does not feel right. The darkness is creeping back in. The candles are going out.
But let not your heart be troubled. The darkness cannot shut out the light. It will get worse. But it will get better.
Judas Iscariot could raise the dead and cast out demons. Tempted by the ultimate demon, Judas Iscariot tried to put the giver of life in a grave and appeared successful. But it did not last. Judas Iscariot, charged to raise the dead, did so by betraying the way, the truth, and life. He played a role in God’s master plan.
Even in the darkness, God’s plan prevailed, often in unexpected ways. Don’t lose patience. And don’t expect your life to play out exactly as you planned it. God has a plan for you. Trust him.
Eternity is coming. Christ is coming. Easter is coming. Get ready.

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY – Official Trailer
Description from video:
After the record-breaking global success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spider-Man: Brand New Day marks an entirely new chapter for Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Four years have passed since the events of No Way Home, and Peter is now an adult living entirely alone, having voluntarily erased himself from the lives and memories of those he loves. Crime-fighting in a New York that no longer knows his name, he's devoted himself entirely to protecting his city — a full-time Spider-Man — but as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.

Disturbing Fraternity Hazing Exposed by Cops
University of Iowa- Police arrive at the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity house along with the fire department to investigate a fire alarm that went off. They immediately went to the basement level where the alarm was triggered, what they found was a creepy fraternity hazing ritual going on.
There were 59 pledge brothers in the basement blindfolded with all sorts of stuff on their bodies.
The police were unable to locate anyone on property that would claim to be in charge. One of the people there was impeding the investigation and giving the police a hard time, 21 year old Joseph claimed his name was Jose and that he was a student at the college. ( the university denies that he was actually a student)
Eventually the president of the fraternity came home and spoke to police and he asked the guy that appeared to be involved in the hazing to leave the property.
Joseph was arrested and charged with interference with official acts the following day at his apartment. Those charges were later dropped.
The fraternity did receive a 4 year ban at the university and will not be reinstated until 2029.

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...

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.

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.

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH ANNOUNCES 2026 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR
-------------------------------------------------------
8/13 – Milwaukee, WI – American Family Insurance Amphitheater

8/21 – Saint Louis, MO – Hollywood Casino Amphitheater

8/22 -- Iowa City, IA - Kinnick Stadium

There's no reason why they couldn't play in Iowa City on August 22nd, a Saturday, at Kinnick Stadium. They would have 16 days off. They *are* playing in Kansas City on Saturday, Oct 3rd, which is feasible...
--------------------------------------------------------
10/03 – Kansas City, MO – Morton Amphitheater
-------------------------------------------------------
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!
Because I didn't remember
This is who won the 2020 Royal Rumble. This happened right before COVID Lockdowns started playing havoc with all of us....
R-Truth confronts Brock Lesnar: 2020-01-06
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...
Official Description:
R-Truth hilariously confronts Universal Champion Brock Lesnar, declaring himself for the Royal Rumble.
