Tonight focusing on George Thorogood And Ronnie Wood
I bought my first George Thorogood album back in the late ‘70s. I think it was called, “Move It On Over.”
Now in the late ‘70s I was a real mess. I was doing tons of drugs, drinking vats of booze and just running wild. I remember listening to this album and it was all about drinking and getting high and cocaine and I loved it. It was great bluesy, boozy rock and roll! They were all covers, including the classics, “One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer,” and “Cocaine Blues.” I remember thinking how I’d love to party with this guy. I turned all my friends on to him and we’d be blaring his tunes in our car’s cassette players (yes, I’m that old!) as we drove around town drinking and getting high.
Then about a month later I was reading a copy of Rolling Stone magazine. They had an article about George Thorogood and I started reading it and it stated in the article that he didn’t drink. And that he never did. I remember bolting up and saying, “What?” I read on and he didn’t do drugs or even smoke pot. I felt like I had been lied to by some asshole!
I mean, I don’t give a fuck if you don’t drink, that’s cool, more for me, but don’t be running around singing, “One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer!” And he’s not like some guy who drank and went way over the limit and decided to quit, but still had some great booze tales to spin, he never drank in his life. Never.
Hey, George, when you drink alone, what in the fuck are you drinking? Perrier water? Sheesh, what an asshole! The only coke this jerk-off has done comes in a can.
So tonight I’m going to salute a real Master Boozer guitar player, Ronnie Wood!
Ron Wood played guitar and sang for the Faces, the booziest band in rock ‘n’ roll history! He then went on to the Stones and in the last couple years went through rehab several times for booze at the band’s insistence. This itself gives Mr. Wood Master Boozer credentials. As a comedian said, “When Keith Richards comes up to you and says you have a problem, you know you’re in trouble!” Ha ha ha!
So tonight I raise my Budweiser to Ronnie Wood, Master Boozer!
I have to go in to work early tomorrow, so tune in early. I’m hoping to start the show around 10:00 or 10:30 am. I won’t be in a good mood, but I’ll be here.
Cheers,
Marty

Speaking of George Thorogood........I am still not certain why I haven't been asked to write for the show. I am clever, brilliant, amazing..oh wait..I think I just named the reasons why I WOULDN'T be asked to write for the show.
I raise my beer to Ronnie! I empty my bladder on Georgie! To Ronnie..........and Whores!

My phone number is currently on Dungpile's forehead. I started writing my number on his ass, and got midway through before I realized it wasn't his ass. Sorry Dungpile, but I wanted to follow through.

The teacher was asking here students "How many letters are in the alphabet?". A student said "18". The teacher said "Why 18?" The student said "Because ET left in a UFO and was chased by the CIA"
