What cards are on my desk?:
-A mountain of 1911 Zeenuts, my Zeenut dupes I have been trying to move, and other odds n ends
-also a big group of nonsports cards (N & T's) that I still am wading through, I gotta admit those actresses always make me think of Queen's Fat Bottomed Girls

Whats on my IPod?:
I don't have one. but I have recently been listening to Ozzy, Toadies, Pearl Jam, STP, Social D, GnR, and... Yo Gabba Gabba! (the last one wasn't my choice!)

What am I reading?:
Basically anything I can get my hands on that has nothing to do with Dentistry!

Default Rhett, you paint a most unique image...

That of a Dentist, sitting at his desk in his scrubs and facemask, listening to alternating tracks of GnR and YoGabba Gabba, while thumbing through cards of Pinup girls while wearing light blue rubber gloves, and yelling to his patient in the other room, "Spit!"

disturbing...

Jim- for me one of the first signs I knew I was getting older was when, a number of years ago, I was shopping and the clerk behind the counter said "what can I get for you, sir?" The word "sir" was the dividing line. That is when I realized to a kid in his twenties I looked like an old man. Now it's been so long I am used to it.

I must admit to being slightly amused at how much metal is listened to by this board. I wonder how many of you guys I crossed paths with when I was touring with Slayer or Cannibal Corpse or DRI or Yngwie or ... ? Hahahaha.

Doug......I take it you are the Doug Goodman who was Slayer's original tour manager? Nice to meet you. Great choice of a band to be a tour manager for. You must have some great stories!

I second Eric's comments. I saw Slayer with Pantera almost a decade ago at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island and they totally kicked ass. Nice to meet you...

I saw Slayer almost a decade ago as well. It was July 29th, 2000 at The Rave in Milwaukee, WI. They headlined for the "Tattoo the Earth Tour". Other notable metal bands at that show: Sepultura, Hed P.E., Hatebreed, Downset, Nothingface, Slipknot, Sevendust, Six Feet Under, etc.

Apologies for the slight hijack of this thread, but yep that's me. My first tour was in the lead singer's camaro. Not as comfortable as the charter jet I used with my current band on our last Australian tour, but it was still lots of fun.

For all the Deadheads who are sick of the metal posts, for me it's been a long strange trip...

I suggest that anymore Doug / Slayer talk move to email doug.goodman@earthlink.net

Back to baseball...

Doug

I saw Cannibal Corpse in '92 (Tomb of the Mutilated Tour), '94 (The Bleeding Tour) and '96 (The Vile Tour) at The Masquerade in Atlanta and DRI (Definition Tour) in I think '92 with Exodus, ProPain and Body Count at The Masquerade also. Slayer in '91 (Clash of Titans Tour with Anthrax and Megadeth) at The Omni in Atlanta. Were you on those tours?...............

71 cards including over 40 E126s, Sport Kings, E121s and various hockey cards from the 1920s.

No iPod.

Reading Net54 posts. I'm not much for reading despite previously being a teaching assistant for a year in the English Department at West Virginia University.

Interestingly, the three geographical centers during the formative years of hardcore punk were California and England (neither surprising) and Washington D.C. (surprising).

I think the connection is bored suburban kids actually. I just read a history of Black Flag and have read a bunch of DC Hardcore books and that really seems to have fueled a lot of it. There was a difference in subtext though though as it was drug fueled in LA and not nearly as much in DC. Outside the US, there was a big scene a little later too in Newcastle/Sunderland in the UK that seems to have had the same bored kid kindling and that one was fueled by booze. This is not the original 76 wave but late 80's.

I love books about those old punk bands-it was like they were living on the last frontier they way they had to gig and tour. I didn't get into punk until my metal phase passed and I missed the first wave or two. There's still a dozen or so bands I really like from the punk days, many of which are still around.

1) Small group of pre-war cards I'm trying to decide whether to send to PSA or sell raw.

2) Kind of into the Beatles at the moment.

3) I usually read multiple books at once. Currently in the john - Legacy of Ashes, a History of the CIA by Tim Weiner; on the nightstand A History of God by Karen Armstrong; and in my backpack is Blink by Malcolm Gladwell.

I agree. It's largely white suburban juvenile delinquent music. In fact, much of Black Flag's early music lyrics are about parties and going to the liquor store. A Black Flag lyric is "Does anyone have the key to the liquor cabinet?" .... Discharge is overtly political, with their songs being protest songs, but Black Flag is social and personal-- around your neighborhood type stuff.

Desk: About 35 non-Red Sox M116's that I need to sell one of these days and a Nice 38 Goudey Jimmy Foxx that I just purchased.

Ipod: Pre 1980 Speedwagon. This includes the double live "you get what you play for" album circa 1977. Got me through a 50 mile bike ride Sunday as I started my training for the RAGBRAI since the snow has lifted here in MN.

Book: Just finished "Patriot Reign" by Michael Holley for the 2nd time. Up next: "Mint Condition" once it arrives.
