Originally this blog was going to be solely dedicated to Suicidal Tendencies but as I was writing I started thinking about who I would really like to meet. Of course Mike Muir is in my top 5 so I will start with him and then move on down the line as I think of them.
After my last few blogs I got so excited about Suicidal that I had to write something. No, I'm not suicidal although I did cut my wrist once with hedge trimmers and it looks like a botched attempt at ending my life...
What I want to discuss is the coolest band of all time, Suicidal Tendencies. I started listening to them when I was about 14 years old. At the time I simply liked the groovy beats mixed in with anger, not to mention the fact that my friends were listening to them too. It was not until later that I realized Mike Muir is much more than a bad ass front man, he's also an intellectual.
Now I can't say that every song has a hidden meaning but he is a genius nonetheless. Anyways, their music has funky beats and thrashing sounds mixed in with some screaming, a little proselytizing and a whole hell of a lot of kick ass!
Mike is also known as Cyco Miko, and sang for Aqueduct Pocket... He sang for Relaxed Atmosphere... He sang for Third World Lover, you heard of them? Of course you haven't... Only true Mike Muir fans would know about this. And who could argue with Mike Muir and Ozzy together for a song!!!
Seriously, he also was a part of No Mercy, Los Cycos and Infectious Grooves. As of right now he is in a feud with Rage Against the Machine. I have not been able to get to the bottom of it but I'm sure it has something to do with Rage, although they have some great music, being a bunch of nancy-boy, anti-American communists.
Anyways, Mike Muir would definitely be on the top of my list for people to meet.
I would also like to meet Jesus H. Christ. Hopefully when I meet him it will be at the heaven side of the pearly gates. I don't think I need to explain any further why Jesus is on my list.
Let's see... I would love to meet Meg Ryan in her early days, about the time she made "When Harry Met Sally", a classic movie that made me fall in love with her. Even circa "Sleepless in Seattle" or "You've Got Mail" would be a good time. I guess any time before her botox phase!
Because this is my blog I can name a group of people that I would like to meet and it would only count as one. So, I would like to meet any one or all of the founding fathers. I would like them to sit and watch CNN, right after they got over the fact that we were watching television in an airplane with running water flying over the Grand Canyon of course. I would like to see their horror when they understand what we have done to their America! I think they would marvel at the technology and entrepreneurship and innovation that has been America's lifeblood for it's young career as a superpower. Then, once they heard Wolf Blitzer or Keith Olbermann a revolt would start... and I would happily and whole-heartedly join!
Finally I think that I would like to meet one of my ancestors and one of my descendants. It would be nice to see where I came from and where my line goes.
And that's a rap. I don't think that I could put these in any order. It would depend solely on my mood at the time. Right now I think that meeting one of my ancestors would top the list but I would love to follow George Washington across the Delaware. Only this time we could have shoes and motor boats and George wouldn't need those wooden teeth.
Oh, what's that?
So how you say life sucks
Well, ninety-nine percent of it's

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned -- this is the sum of good government. -Thomas Jefferson
