Once Again...Pearl Jam Rocks The Game Of Tunes.

The Global Citizen Festival was aired live on MSNBC.  First, I had to sit through Coldplay (who actually had know-nothing pop star Ariana Grande sing with them)...one of my poops is more entertaining.  Then came Ed Sheeran.  Who the H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks is this dweeb?  Afterwords, Beyonce hit the stage.  Attractive woman.  But, my Lord, every song sounds the same (except when she performed The Doors' "Five To One"...which...quite frankly...made me feel like on LSD).  The festival was nearly LollaPoopza.  

Until Pearl Jam entered the house.  They CRSUHED.  Sometimes I fantasize about bringing Eddie Vedder to my favorite hangout, The Silverball Museum in Asbury Park, New Jersey (an arcade dedicated to hundreds of old school pinball machines plus some throwback arcade games).  Plus, Silverball is BYOB!  I am pretty sure that Eddie and I would be instant best friends and he would come over to my house to play MarioKart 8 on the Wii U.  Anyway, Pearl Jam ROCKS!

James Bond At The Pope's U.N. Speech! Watch Out!

I was happening to watch the coverage of Pope Francis speaking to the U.N. assembly when I noticed - What the?! - James Bond was in attendance!  This can only mean a few things.  1.) 007 was there to foil some evil super-villain plot's to kidnap the Pope and ransom him for an arsenal of nuclear weapons...2.) Perhaps it was an imposter Pope Francis and Bond was there to rip off the fake Pope's mask only to expose the leader of North Korea...3.) James Bond was drunk and mistakenly thought he was in casino.  Let the spy-madness ensue!

Happy Birthday, Mark Hamill!!

Ah, yes!  One of Star Wars saga's greatest characters, Luke Skywalker, had himself his 64th birthday yesterday!  Well...technically...the actor who portrayed Luke (Mark Hamill) was the one who parties on his date of birth.  In any event, I hops Jedi Master Mark celebrates by slaying the hell out of some Sand People and cuts the arms off a few Wampa's to further enjoy his special day!  On a another note, I made an Internet cake for Mr. Hamill...I hope he enjoys it...and if he doesn't...I will instantly convert to a Sith warrior and hunt the Jedi down.  But let's stay positive...Happy Birthday, Mark!

RIP, Yogi Berra.

What else can be said about the great Yogi Berra?  Three-time MVP.  Fifteen-time All-Star.  And a record TEN-time World Series Champion.  The debate is usually, "Who is the greatest catcher of all time?  Yogi or Johnny Bench?"  Well, I would submit to you that the only good thing that Johnny Bench ever did was hosting "The Baseball Bunch" on Saturday mornings.  And let's be honest...the San Diego Chicken was really the star of that children's baseball show.  I especially liked it when the Chicken would get hit in the face with a pie.  Dumb Chicken.  RIP, Yogi!

Davey Mac...Member Of The 'Peanuts' Gang!

Here's me as one of the Peanuts characters.  I have the heart of a Linus, the luck of a Charlie Brown, and the damned hygiene of a Pigpen!  Lil' Davey Mac...he thinks Christmas is getting too commercial...and he doesn't bathe!

Spread the word!  Party at the moon tower!  Alright, alright, alright!  We're gonna have a keg!  Make sure you bring the Zeppelin!  Are you cool, man?  Party at the moon tower!   Check out Davey Mac, weekdays on WRAT, 95.9 FM at 6 AM (EST).  Alright, alright, alright!     

Good Morning.

No one gives you anything in life...you got to TAKE it.  This has been friendly words of advice from East Side Black Mass Departed Dave.  Have a good day.

Let's Dominate The Week!

Listen, daddy.  If your football team lost yesterday, ruining your weekend in the process, don't worry about it.  That happened to me...and you know what?  I'm gonna will myself past the negative feelings... 

...Oh, who am I kidding, the Giants have destroyed my life.  I'll never recover.  In any event, I still have a job to do.  And that's to dominate the mornings with Carl Craft on WRAT, 95.9 FM.  Check out Carl & Dave, weekdays at 6 AM (EST).  BAM!

The Giants Are An Absolute Clusterf---.

For the SECOND week in a row, my beloved New York Football Giants have blown a ten-point lead and lost the game.  Seven days ago, it was a crushing defeat to the Dallas Cowboys.  This afternoon, they choked up the game to the Atlanta Falcons.  Mistakes.  Dropped balls.  Screwed-up defense.  It's been an utter trainwreck for the G-Men.  Now if you'll excuse me, I have to slam my dumb head against the wall for caring about sports as much as I do.  Then, I'm gonna shove a spiked, first-down marker up my nose.  After that, I'm gonna let a random stranger dressed up as a referee kick me squarely in the Man Zone.  Have a nice day.

Have A Killer Weekend, Dogsie!

I hope your weekend is as crazy as the 88.  May it dominate like a Hattori Hanzo sword destroys all others.  May it be as victorious as Beatrix Kiddo.  May your weekend ROCK, daddy.  Carl & Dave, weekdays at 6 AM (EST) on WRAT, 95.9 FM.
