Just reviewing third quarter music industry statistics...thought I would share.
Overall...music industry album sales (CD & digital) are down 14.2%.
Thinking about putting down another CD this year? CD’s continue to lose favor with consumers. All-genre sales are off by almost 19%.
Country albums are tanking. YTD album sales of 35.76 million units compared with 50.08 million units at the end of the 2006 third quarter. A drop of 26.1% and one of the worst showings of any format.
The cost of digital music downloads is starting to fall. Good for consumers, NOT so good for artists. The downloads were as high as $2.99...and NOW as low as 79 cents.
Country digital consumers account for approximately 5.2% of the purchases, significantly lower than the all genre average of 10.6%.
Wal-Mart, while it remains the top music seller in the U.S., its overall growth has slowed and its retail is slipping. The price gap between Wal-Mart and other stores has been taking a downward turn for months. Ummm...don’t tell Garth.
11/3 The picture was a great surprise. Thanks to all who noticed. It made for a fun day at school! Not that they all aren't fun days. I LOVE MY JOB!!!
The Mrs. and I are off to see "Beehive" tonight. Forty 60's songs in one musical. I'll be in heaven!
Boy, if Sixwire's bass player could sing they would be unstoppable! That would give them two more voices than Cleveland country bands have. C'mon boys,TOP THAT HARMONY!
Light of Doom--Kids staying true to their influences. They actually made an Elton John song sound like it had some balls.
Clark Bros.--Enough with the mandolin poser faces.
Rockett--When some people have to sing a real song you see why they never do.
The Muggs--"Let's get outta here. These guys suck!"
Franklin Bridge--This is what happens when a bass player forgets the function of his instrument.
Tres Bien--Love the whole goofy 60's feel. But...
Over to WGAR.
Barry Hughes?--Remember Pony Express? Hell, he's probably older than me!
Lawless--"The Well Ran Dry" is still your best song.
Tony Rio--The one tune that rocks. This is radio friendly!

As a Business Development Consultant and then the Project Manager...thee MOST awesome affordable senior housing has been built. A quiet, safe and serene sanctuary without toddlers or teenagers. LOL!
Start my NEW project today...with my personal career statement; to CHANGE the world, especially for SENIOR adults. AMEN!
NOW...My mission is to bring thee MOST affordable services to SENIOR adults at their door steps.
NOT sure what the next few weeks will bring as my new partner and I launch our strategic plan with ambitious/lofty goals.
Fat Boy's management has made the decision not to have BP back. When you have a band who will work for peanuts and undercuts another band, obviously, management will go with the "cheaper" band. Business is business. The only reason I ever went there was to support HL/BP. I RARELY ventured in when anyone else was playing so this saves me a trip. Bottom line - the place is a dive and their regular clientele....well, I'll stop there. However, their ladies room is STILL cleaner than Ace's! LOL
Thank the Lord I no longer have to spend my precious time at FB's. As for the bathrooms, sanitation should be a little higher on the list of priorities. If Ace's can afford to open new establishments they can certainly afford a plumber.
Not bad Web...except for a few awards you picked well, did you really think Kelly would win, or was that just your wish? How cute that Kenny brought his mom?

nobeerhere ummm...did I really think the Dixie Chicks would win over Rascal Flatts? I thought Pickler had as good of a shot at it as anyone in her category.
Jennifer Nettles is God! The other girl singers pale in comparison to her performance last night. It was stunning. If you missed it, go to YouTube and type in Sugarland-Stay. You will not be sorry!
The rest of the show was too busy rock pretending to be country.

I will never address you again in a public or private manner. This is the last time anything that pertains to you will leave my mouth or fingertips.

REALLY...I don't quite see it that way!
Just a thought...in the long run, don't cha think it would have been a better plan to have me working with ya instead of against ya!
I'd like to thank all the voters for making my Saturday very happy. She is positively glowing. Told you not to mess with her!I still think "Well Runs Dry" is the one.
Amazing night at the Willoughby Brewing Company. So many people there was barely room to dance, but they did! The place is closed on Sundays now. Good job, country bands.

Raise your hand if ya hate the time change...me too! It is a challenge each and every evening to STAY awake.
OK...in the surf of things.
ACE's wasted no time to promote Rio/Relentless. Skipped right over the Laredo weekend.
ACE's must believe folks can find their Mentor website with ease...NOT really.
Yeah yeah...Lawless is grateful and thankful to come in third place...NOT really.
Foot has a NEW band, club, attitude and friends...NOT really.
Heartland is NOT Bulletproof. The most recent version is gigless until after the first of the year. If the band photos are accurate...Buck has quit too!
OH, and they no longer deem me a MySpace friend. Now...that is funny. I added them upon THEIR request...because I thought it was Molly.
Interestingly...they have "friended" Laredo and Lawless.
Laredo shut Heartland out of ACE's. Ross would slam Buck/Heartland frequently under the screen name "countryfanfromhell".
Lawless is Heartland. The history between these two bands is ironic, and had been a HATE-fest for years.
Personally, I remember NOT saying the word Lawless for fear Buck would pass another kidney stone. Hence...we called them the "L-band".
Yeppers...I know ya all LOVE each other now. There is soooooo much "mutual respect" in the air, ya can barely breathe.
Cause I got the message...You may only register for this contest once per day and you have already entered today. You may come back after Midnight EST and re-enter if the contest is still running.
For today...we will say it was me, and that my vote counted.
The Lawless people could care less about your vendetta, we still support our boys. Lets see now you have made enemies with Lawless, Laredo, Foot, Curtis Bros, Heartland, Tim Jordan, etc
Who's next ? NOT or Black River ?
You ARE better off with the blues, and we are better off without you.
Reality here. 911...my husband was sick earlier and just collapsed....is he breathing? I don't know....cpr started....he's gone. 50 years old. Leaves a wife (part-time job...no insurance) 5 kids...youngest 6.
I worked with his wife for 5 years...had to yell at her to do cpr...she was in panic mode...who wouldn't be?

1978 - Jonestown incident: In Guyana, Jim Jones leads his Peoples Temple cult in a mass murder-suicide that claims 918 lives in all, 909 of them at Jonestown itself, including over 270 children.
Barry Hughes had signs and posters posted on every bulletin board and open space available at Tri-C West Campus...how do I know? I am there five days a week.
The dude marketed himself...kids between the age of 18 and 22 are computer junkies and will totally take the time to vote.
Personally, I would have have preferred that Rio/Relentless won the Super Star contest.
Remember...Barry Hughes did very well in my little focus group. Ya just don't know what women prefer till ya ask them.
Mr. Webster played/guested with Barry Hughes like twenty years ago. So he's NOT a kid...
Looks like ACE's Mentor has their schedule updated. The Brooklyn site was down for most of the afternoon yesterday.
Ya would think, while they were tweaking things, someone would put the Mentor icon back on the page.
They must think it's a better idea to go hunting for it...good luck with that,it ain't like the place comes up in the top ten.
ACE's Mentor has bumped Backwoods to Friday and Lawless will be there on Saturday. Someone should tell Foot to update his website.
ACE's Brooklyn will be hosting Brunt River Band for Thanksgiving Eve.
Lawless managed to swing a gig @ Slam Jam's for Wednesday night after a "miscommunication" with The Savannah. I heard Lawless has been dumped from the Savannah schedule...maybe forever.
Never said I knew him...picture looked like a kid...don't really care how old he is. Just wanted to let ya know he hung those pictures/posters and won the contest.
Unless of course the almighty wise and knowledgeable Web who controls the universe thinks otherwise.
I seriously doubt that you had anything to do with the outcome...bet you like to think you did though!
By the way...I have a secret I won't tell, but if I did....WOOOEEE the repercussions....someone would be looking mighty stupid...
I have a secret too. Bet mine is better than yours...nah nah nah. nobeer, your hot and cold comments LOOK pretty stupid. Pleasant one day, hostile the next.
nobeerhere Ya know, Robert Novak wrote about something very similar to your scenerio. In the event, you are clueless about this political story... Hillary has a secret about Obama, but she's not gonna tell...oh oh because of the reprecussions.
Also...for the record, I wasn't challenging your knowledge of Barry Hughes, I was informing you...he's NOT a kid...that's all.
ACE's... We are all very happy you accept Visa, American Express ,Discover and MasterCard.
Jesus, Joseph and Mary...where is the Mentor link? Are you people that arrogant? Do ya think people can find your Mentor location on the Internet without some degree of effort? For the thirty-second time...put the link back.
I would like an update on the bathroom situation at the Brooklyn location. Any takers?
Bluestone, my comments have run middle of the road with Web....my moodiness is my prerogative...
I am far from young and impressionable Web...gonna hit the big 4-0 next March. My feelings have nothing to do with your rantings and/or ravings. I read your comments about John and have chosen not to comment about it anymore, I just read and laugh a lot.
Oh and another thing, never said my secret had a darn thing to do with you Web...feeling guilty about something??? Do tell....
Web...If I was gullible, then I would take YOUR word on who I should chose to have in my life. I chose to have Hardy as a friend you simply choose not too.
I like how you twist words though Web...very nice. Still not gonna spill...
He must really have dogged you lady, you are looking more and more bitter every darn day...
Maybe you should write a song about it since you are the know all of the music industry.

Ummm...what happened to the banner with Jerry Brightman?
Mrs. Webster said... OK...NOT everyone has moved on to the new thread.
Yesterday, I purposefully lead off the new thread with my son...in the hopes that ya would follow along.
Lawless ladies...don't engage Simon. Avoid the knee jerk reactions.
Simon and I correspond outside of the blog via email and IM. I jetted off an email to Simon last night, and requested a respite for today.
Nakked You are WRONG bout the logging on. Seriously. You post you are done with Simon...yet respond repeatedly?
Nobeerhere It is with authority that I post... Simon has NOT been near my hind quarters. To the best of my knowledge, Simon is NOT a forlorn Lawless groupie. The "issues" are shared/common disdain and disgust at this time.

Ya must NOT be interested in stopping. I did what I could to keep the peace on the day of the funeral.

Nakkedmonkey said... My bad i was talking about yesterday not today..
Simon and Web one in the same? Who knows. I have often thought that many people have many identities on this thing. I think I made a comment a while back that the blog was getting boring so an "alias" was made up to bring the controversy back. Even if that is true...who cares.
I am guessing that Simon is not Web...for various reason. Simon just is a Web wannabe and believes everything she says...which is fine. Hence another of my earlier comments about Simon's head being inserted in Web's inferior posterior opening.
Even with a short work weekI am happy it'sd Friday too. Does that mean I have my head up Web's posterior or Simons or justenouhropes. does it really matter?
I'll take care of that lovely posterior, thank you.

WOW
Hey Simon...if you can get your head out of Web's @$$, I left you a message on last months blog...

What portion of your statement/post, in your opinion, was NOT disrespectful?
Here is my interpretation...
You believe only a certain person is WORTHY of undiluted respect at this time.
Any one else MUST have human heads extending from their hind quarters.
I'll be sure to wear an a-line pleated skirt today to obscure the additional backside baggage.
Moving right along...
Yesterday morning I read on the Curtis Brothers website that Bobby Lee was gonna front Lawless tonight at ACE's.
This morning on the Curtis Brothers website it says Bobby Lee and Local All Stars perform at ACE's tonight.
Are ya all pretending that 5 out 6 Lawless members performing tonight at ACE's is NOT Lawless?
Would anyone care to explain?
Explain? Who cares really?

I see you have made a conscious decision to engage Simon, even though I asked him take a respite on the day of the funeral.
I thought you would too...ya know all that respect talk.

Ummm...where did we leave off?
Let's see...I was critical of A song.
sweetandpetite swept in to defend her song/man and thinks we are in the same boat. Priceless!
The hardy boy leapt off the reality cliff, laying on jagged rocks he rambled he was responsible for my existence, happiness and success.
Meanwhile...
The Lawless tour bus rolls into ACE's Brooklyn, and then travels 18 miles to ACE's Mentor.
Foot "friends" think everyone is distracted by Super Star and will NOW go in for the kill on the FOX8 Holist.
Heartland is hoping they are BULLETPROOF.
Been meaning to ask; is it BUCK management or Fat Boy's management making the schedule decisions?
The Curtis Brothers are earnestly re-grouping. The force be with them and the phases of the moon shine upon them.
Laredo is STILL asking themselves why they didn't at least try?
Justenoughrope was spotted at Home Depot explaining why more rope is needed.
Sless MUST return to his anger management class before the end of the week to prevent testosterone from oozing from his ears.
Ernie has submitted a photo of himself hugging Josh Cribbs to Channel 19. He LOVES the BROWNS!
Ann Coulter was shopping and kibitzing at Legacy Village. Mazeltoff!
Fat Boy's management has made the decision not to have BP back. When you have a band who will work for peanuts and undercuts another band, obviously, management will go with the "cheaper" band. Business is business. The only reason I ever went there was to support HL/BP. I RARELY ventured in when anyone else was playing so this saves me a trip. Bottom line - the place is a dive and their regular clientele....well, I'll stop there. However, their ladies room is STILL cleaner than Ace's! LOL
Thank the Lord I no longer have to spend my precious time at FB's.
As for the bathrooms, sanitation should be a little higher on the list of priorities. If Ace's can afford to open new establishments they can certainly afford a plumber.
and Simon returns from blogger exile.

The buffet is now open.
Heard a rumour today that Dixie Fryed has inked a record deal. Anybody?

Hey ya all...got totally distracted with life yesterday afternoon. Logged off the computer @ 4:20 PM.
Ya could have knocked me over with a red feather this morning.
I didn't see it coming and I know LAWLESS didn't.
The final two of Super Star...
Barry Hughes and Tony Rio/Relentless.
What will the EXCUSE be...
The wound is fresh and gaping.
Here comes the SALT!
May I be so bold as to QUOTE the hardy boy...
"Listen honey, I know you'll read this, so let's cut to the chase.....
Whomever the hell you THINK you are, you're not! You and your 10 consistent readers have your fun. I will never address you again in a public or private manner. This is the last time anything that pertains to you will leave my mouth or fingertips.
You will NEVER and let me reiterate, NEVER have any affect on my career and where it may or may not head.
You just aren't that important.........
.....and that's gotta kill ya to know it in your heart.
Later Web!"
REALLY...I don't quite see it that way!
Just a thought...in the long run, don't cha think it would have been a better plan to have me working with ya instead of against ya!
As has ALWAYS been the case...
The hardy boy cannot see the big picture. His ego fills up the mirror.
Honey, let's get ONE thing straight.
I built thee blog and it's readership.
I linked thee blog to my MySpace over a year ago.
Thee blog is linked to other sites I control.
Thee blog lands in the top ten sites in MOST search engines...depending on the search.
Thee blog accrues more hits than all the Cleveland country sites/myspaces together.
ALL those people that claim they do NOT log-on are liars.
Bottom line...IT'S MORE THAN 10 PEOPLE. LOL!
11/10
I'd like to thank all the voters for making my Saturday very happy. She is positively glowing. Told you not to mess with her!I still think "Well Runs Dry" is the one.

The Next Great American Band is NOT...The Muggs or Rocket.
Actually, I fell asleep Friday night sometime before Sixwire.
In keeping with the 12 people in the Midwest interested in this show, I taped it for Mr. Webster. We played the tape last night.
The remaining eight bands performed a Billy Joel song.
Franklin Bridge
Big Shot
Everything this band does is beginning to sound exactly the same. Liked them BETTER when they are more traditional R&B.
Cliff Wagner & The Old No. 7
You May Be Right
Love these guys...tons of talent, and remind me of The Derailers.
Denver & The Mile High Orchestra
Tell Her About It
Vanilla and boring. I imagine them landing on the Las Vegas strip.

This must be the forum for
Lawless lost in their own backyard.
Why would Lawless lose?
Could it be they just thought they would win without any effort?
Could it be they believe their own hype?
Could it be they have burnt more bridges then they have built?
Could it be they really didn't want to win like Laredo?
Could it have been the Webster factor?
EXPLORER geeks
What is the problem?

Ya crack me up.

It is a challenge each and every evening to STAY awake.
OK...in the surf of things.
ACE's wasted no time to promote Rio/Relentless. Skipped right over the Laredo weekend.
ACE's must believe folks can find their Mentor website with ease...NOT really.
Yeah yeah...Lawless is grateful and thankful to come in third place...NOT really.

Ummm...ACE's has updated their website to reflect the appearance of Lardeo this weekend. LOL!
November 16, 2007
Morning...and YES, it is Friday!
Heartland is NOT Bulletproof.
The most recent version is gigless until after the first of the year.
If the band photos are accurate...Buck has quit too!
OH, and they no longer deem me a MySpace friend.
Now...that is funny.
I added them upon THEIR request...because I thought it was Molly.
Interestingly...they have "friended" Laredo and Lawless.
Laredo shut Heartland out of ACE's. Ross would slam Buck/Heartland frequently under the screen name "countryfanfromhell".
Lawless is Heartland.
The history between these two bands is ironic, and had been a HATE-fest for years.
Personally, I remember NOT saying the word Lawless for fear Buck would pass another kidney stone.
Hence...we called them the "L-band".
Yeppers...I know ya all LOVE each other now. There is soooooo much "mutual respect" in the air, ya can barely breathe.
Like the pic on the front of the blog?
It's from my personal collection. Shot it in the flats in May of 05, outside of Rockabilly's as Lawless was unloading.
It's titled...Tour Bus.
Just voted for Rio/Relentless.
I may have been trigger happy and double clicked.
Cause I got the message...You may only register for this contest once per day and you have already entered today. You may come back after Midnight EST and re-enter if the contest is still running.
For today...we will say it was me, and that my vote counted.
OK...it is understood, NOT everyone will find this funny. However, I am NO longer catering to the Lawless crowd.
So...someone googles "Lawless Cleveland Country".
Of course, Lawless comes up first in the "search", followed by three links to the blog.
And this...Demand Lawless
Maybe...the handwriting was on the wall a year ago.
The Lawless people could care less about your vendetta, we still support our boys. Lets see now you have made enemies with Lawless, Laredo, Foot, Curtis Bros, Heartland, Tim Jordan, etc
Who's next ? NOT or Black River ?
You ARE better off with the blues, and we are better off without you.
uwishuknew wishes he/she were not compelled to log on everyday to see what is said next.
Lawless does care.
If I have been following along correctly, Lawless, Laredo, Curtis Brothers, Tim Jordan and godfather foot turned on her first.
Reality here. 911...my husband was sick earlier and just collapsed....is he breathing? I don't know....cpr started....he's gone. 50 years old. Leaves a wife (part-time job...no insurance) 5 kids...youngest 6.
I worked with his wife for 5 years...had to yell at her to do cpr...she was in panic mode...who wouldn't be?
Hug your loved ones and don't be afraid to say I love you. You never know....
Today...I don't care about contests...or band feuds...who did what first....who's on third...whatever.
I lurk more than post....my bad.
NOT me doing the BP Myspace. NOT sure who is doin' it.
Me - I'm trying to get out from under all the boxes piled in my house. I swear this is my last move. Getting too old for this! lol

Smart kid.
November 20, 007
Good Morning...
Personally, I would have have preferred that Rio/Relentless won the Super Star contest.
Remember...Barry Hughes did very well in my little focus group.
Ya just don't know what women prefer till ya ask them.
Mr. Webster played/guested with Barry Hughes like twenty years ago.
So he's NOT a kid...
Looks like ACE's Mentor has their schedule updated. The Brooklyn site was down for most of the afternoon yesterday.
Ya would think, while they were tweaking things, someone would put the Mentor icon back on the page.
They must think it's a better idea to go hunting for it...good luck with that,it ain't like the place comes up in the top ten.
ACE's Mentor has bumped Backwoods to Friday and Lawless will be there on Saturday. Someone should tell Foot to update his website.
ACE's Brooklyn will be hosting Brunt River Band for Thanksgiving Eve.
Lawless managed to swing a gig @ Slam Jam's for Wednesday night after a "miscommunication" with The Savannah. I heard Lawless has been dumped from the Savannah schedule...maybe forever.
Never said I knew him...picture looked like a kid...don't really care how old he is. Just wanted to let ya know he hung those pictures/posters and won the contest.
Unless of course the almighty wise and knowledgeable Web who controls the universe thinks otherwise.
I seriously doubt that you had anything to do with the outcome...bet you like to think you did though!
By the way...I have a secret I won't tell, but if I did....WOOOEEE the repercussions....someone would be looking mighty stupid...
NoBeer, you can't fix stupid.LOL
I have a secret too.
Bet mine is better than yours...nah nah nah.
nobeer, your hot and cold comments LOOK pretty stupid.
Pleasant one day, hostile the next.

Ya know, Robert Novak wrote about something very similar to your scenerio.
In the event, you are clueless about this political story...
Hillary has a secret about Obama, but she's not gonna tell...oh oh because of the reprecussions.
Also...for the record, I wasn't challenging your knowledge of Barry Hughes, I was informing you...he's NOT a kid...that's all.
Ummmm....I have a plethra of untold stories and secrets...but I am saving them for a rainy day.
I will TELL!
bluestone
Ya have to cut nobeerhere some slack...she's a girl,...we run hot/cold.
She's young and impressionable.
I wanted to believe Hardy too.
Ummm...it's raining, what story would you like to hear?
Blogger's Choice...
ACE's...
We are all very happy you accept Visa, American Express ,Discover and MasterCard.
Jesus, Joseph and Mary...where is the Mentor link?
Are you people that arrogant?
Do ya think people can find your Mentor location on the Internet without some degree of effort? For the thirty-second time...put the link back.
I would like an update on the bathroom situation at the Brooklyn location. Any takers?
Bathroom stories...Brilliant.
So here it is, my first post. What to say, what to talk about. HMMMMM.
Hi Webster,
Slim & Chubbys has invited you to an event on MySpace:
Customer Appreciation Thanksgiving Dinner.
Who thinks I should go...raise their hand?

The topic is bathrooms...care to contribute.

Bluestone, my comments have run middle of the road with Web....my moodiness is my prerogative...
I am far from young and impressionable Web...gonna hit the big 4-0 next March. My feelings have nothing to do with your rantings and/or ravings. I read your comments about John and have chosen not to comment about it anymore, I just read and laugh a lot.
Oh and another thing, never said my secret had a darn thing to do with you Web...feeling guilty about something??? Do tell....

My bad on your age. Thought you would rather be young and impressionable, than mature and gullible.
We have never met, but I recalled a conversation with Hardy, that had ya in your mid twenties. My mistake. Wrong woman.
Nah...I am NOT feeling guilty about anything these days.
The almighty wise and knowledgeable Web who controls the universe didn't realize you were sharing that Hardy looks mighty stupid.
Is it still bathroom stories?
Ignoring nobeer.
Web...If I was gullible, then I would take YOUR word on who I should chose to have in my life. I chose to have Hardy as a friend you simply choose not too.
I like how you twist words though Web...very nice. Still not gonna spill...
He must really have dogged you lady, you are looking more and more bitter every darn day...
Maybe you should write a song about it since you are the know all of the music industry.
P.S. Bluestone, I am crushed.

I'm just happy it started raining so I don't have to rake leaves!
The night before Thanksgiving at the Savannah! Does it get any better? Join the Swamp Boogie Band for a memorable evening.

Morning to all, thankful for most.
I made pumpkin mousse this morning for our traditional senior center social. That's all...
It has been difficult giving-up preparing the bountiful buffet.
Last year, on Black Friday, I insisted on making the traditional turkey, 15 sides, pies, and home-made bread.
This year...our Thanksgiving dinner will no doubt be at some Waffle House on the other side of the Mason Dixon line. Hash browns 5 ways with your turkey. LOL!
Over the river, and through the woods the Websters will go...

nobeerhere
I'd rather write a BOOK.

DON'T FORGET THE GRITS!!!
I am thankful for Mrs.W. She showed me life could be so much more of everything. Without her I'd be just an old guy playin' the same old songs with the same old guys in the same old places.

A message for ya...

If you are the Webmaster please contact Technical Support.
JDg has his own MySpace...AGAIN!
Has anyone told him that it ain't a Lawless nation?
JOHN...Ya are STILL wallowing in Lawlessville.
As long as you continue to humor Sless...it will continue.
Ya, Ya...his guitar playing is perfect, his tone/pitch is AWESOME.
The BEST ya have ever had.
To complete the package...
Sless's inter-personal skills are laden with sweet tea and his business acumen is that of a Harvard MBA. The marketing plan for Super Star was stellar.
Ummm...what happened to the banner with Jerry Brightman?
Is Joe Nichols spending his 31st birthday in rehab?
ROFLMAO
Was it Webster or someone else that compared Sless to Buck? Same mold, only younger and prettier.
who sold their soul?
Every guitar player in town has cringed.

Don is awesome!
Joe Nichols is 31 today.

Tuesday already...
Curtis Brother John will guest with Black River Band this Friday at The Red Dog Saloon.
NOT sure if Black River Band is "restructuring" their band or just their website.
The Curtis Brothers appear to be re-grouping as a four piece. Picked up a bass player from Custard Pie.
OK...so, like two weeks ago, Heartland deleted me as a MySpace friend. Today, I get an add request???
Lawless will be appearing at "TBA" on Friday. Sless booked that one himself.
ACE's Mentor...the site is still down. Is a MySpace enough?
Are some of you still drinking the "BitterBitch" flavored Kool-Aid?
Just so you know, there's a reason Simon and Web always agree!
Simon IS Web! Want proof?
November 2, 007
Webster said....
Yesterday, I purposefully led off this thread with a NON controversial topic.
Ummm...OK, no disrespect meant for MY son and his remarkable achievement.
nobeerhere
What portion of your statement/post, in your opinion, was NOT disrespectful?
Here is my interpretation...
You believe only a certain person is WORTHY of undiluted respect at this time.
Any one else MUST have human heads extending from their hind quarters.
I'll be sure to wear an a-line pleated skirt today to obscure the additional backside baggage.
7:48 AM
Mrs. Webster said...
Moving right along...
Yesterday morning I read on the Curtis Brothers website that Bobby Lee was gonna front Lawless tonight at ACE's.
This morning on the Curtis Brothers website it says Bobby Lee and Local All Stars perform at ACE's tonight.
Are ya all pretending that 5 out 6 Lawless members performing tonight at ACE's is NOT Lawless?
Would anyone care to explain?
8:10 AM
Nakkedmonkey said...
Explain? Who cares really?
8:23 AM
Mrs. Webster said...
nakked
I see you have made a conscious decision to engage Simon, even though I asked him take a respite on the day of the funeral.
I thought you would too...ya know all that respect talk.
8:44 AM
Nakkedmonkey said...
I didnt say anything to him I am leaving it alone today..
Nakked never engaged Simon because simon didn't post anything yet that morning!
Her post was directly under and following websters post, which was the first of the day!
I hope you folks realize that all the smack comes from the same person onver and over.
I have been to this place in nearly 3 weeks and I figured it out right away.
Web, you truly are a pathetic, bitter, bored old bitch!
LATE
a new slueth
two different pages
ya missed a couple of posts
Mrs. Webster said...
OK...NOT everyone has moved on to the new thread.
Yesterday, I purposefully lead off the new thread with my son...in the hopes that ya would follow along.
Lawless ladies...don't engage Simon. Avoid the knee jerk reactions.
Simon and I correspond outside of the blog via email and IM.
I jetted off an email to Simon last night, and requested a respite for today.
Nakked
You are WRONG bout the logging on. Seriously.
You post you are done with Simon...yet respond repeatedly?
Nobeerhere
It is with authority that I post...
Simon has NOT been near my hind quarters.
To the best of my knowledge, Simon is NOT a forlorn Lawless groupie. The "issues" are shared/common disdain and disgust at this time.
7:09 AM
Nakkedmonkey said...
lmao.. i stop when i feel like stopping
8:21 AM
Mrs. Webster said...
UMMM...
Ya must NOT be interested in stopping. I did what I could to keep the peace on the day of the funeral.
8:37 AM
Nakkedmonkey said...
My bad i was talking about yesterday not today..
does it really matter?
It must matter to you.
What's with calling Webster a pathetic, bitter, bored old b*tch?
Simon and Web one in the same? Who knows. I have often thought that many people have many identities on this thing. I think I made a comment a while back that the blog was getting boring so an "alias" was made up to bring the controversy back. Even if that is true...who cares.
I am guessing that Simon is not Web...for various reason. Simon just is a Web wannabe and believes everything she says...which is fine. Hence another of my earlier comments about Simon's head being inserted in Web's inferior posterior opening.
11/27
Trust me..The posterior is superior! And who satd she's old and bitter? I think she's as sweet as can be.
Bruce Lee would be 67 today. He'd still kick your ass.
Jimi Hendrix would be 65.
The British Bulldog would be 45.
Jaleel White is 31. Steve Urkal
1966 - The Washington Redskins defeat the New York Giants 72-41 in the highest scoring game in NFL history.
2006--Casey Coleman dies.
November 28, 007
Yes Dear...sometimes it is difficult to follow along. I had to read it a couple of times myself, this morning.
Hmmm...
A person (who shall remain nameless) took the time to create ANOTHER screen name to share their thought about Simon/Webster.
At least ten people spent more time on the blog yesterday than I did.
Am I the only one that sees the irony of this?
Bitter...PLEEASE
Life is good in Websterville. PERIOD!
Old...prefer mature/wise.
Perhaps, if someone would have listened to what I was saying. The big "L" would not stand for LOSER.
Bored...I am NOT logging on every twenty minutes or carrying on conference calls over my posts.
Pathetic...for heaven's sake, see above.
The B-word..."VINDICTIVE".
This is NOT news.
Hey
Just reviewing email...
Is ACE's Mentor "For Lease" ?
Jerry Brightman is NO longer in the Lawless line-up?
Webster and I never agreed about Hardy.

Yippy Skippy...it's Friday!
The only weather update I have for ya today is the arctic clipper is on it's way.
There are interesting developments, but NOT everything is COMPLETELY confirmed. I don't just make things up despite what ya hear.
I will go with what I ALWAYS say...the TRUTH always takes longer.
Even with a short work weekI am happy it'sd Friday too. Does that mean I have my head up Web's posterior or Simons or justenouhropes. does it really matter?
11/30
I'll take care of that lovely posterior, thank you.
