I heard that Elvis on several occasions actually shot a gun at his TV. I used to think that was kind of crazy but these days I'm starting to think he was right.

"This old toad is tired of the road..."

What bass, players are toads now, we get no respect!

Yes it is lame, corny, wholly without redeeming value,
and selling something WAY over priced there.

It is well photographed and lit, good lipsyncing.
The actors look like they have never had a 'droopy day' in their lives.
Are they trying to expand their demographic
to the recreational studs now???
Oh baby get get home tom my lady!!! whoooweee!
Cornpone by the truck lad. Beat me daddy 8 inches to the bar.
DUH!

What gets me is those SMILES like they have happily
been eating the largest floater in the pool,
and grinning all the eat to the bank.
And the good times slaps and knowing winks kinda looks.
Yegawds pure cornball crap.

Elvis would have shot the TV for sure.

As if people who need it don't know about it enough already?

Available as a clone here over the counter, no script,
in EVERY pharmacy for $3, no need to advertise.
When you're a 63 year old widower, out of the loop for a few years,
and your girlfriend is 24 it becomes a obvious necessity
for a good 2 week vacation here.

But why they thought cloning Elvis at a barn dance with some
pseudo good old boys to sell more was necessary,
I'll never know.

SAG is OK for actors and good in old blues amps,
but not much use anywhere else.

The ad is corny, lame and sad,
and doesn't have a third leg to stand on...

Nope - not lame enough.

My apologies, I was erroneously referring to the wrong clip. I don't know any of the guys on the "roadhouse" clip, only the bass player on the Nashville "studio" clip.

I sold my TV a while back, smartest thing I've done in a long time...

Yes, kill yer tv before it kills you!
Watching tv can cause erectile disfuntion as it will evetually reduce everything, including sex, to an unappatizing mass of garbage.
The truth will set you free:

I like to watch "Cops", "World's Scariest Police Chases", "Smash Lab", "World's Dumbest Criminals", "Most Outrageous", "Shockwave", "Most Daring" and "Most Shocking".

This is the stuff of 1950's science fiction literature.

I posted this link a while back: http://science.howstuffworks.com/what-if-shoot-tv.htm

So - for you folks who live in places where the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is not currently operational - you can now vicariously experience shooting a TV without getting arrested.

LOL.
The guy really went postal on that email delivery system!

Funny a ball bearing thrown through the set
gets the same effect, but without the guns boom.
Slingshots were more fun for old tv sets.

Then you hear the TV screen implode,
they did implode with smaller holes or cracks,
better back in the day, say 60's, a sound unto itself!

Granted newer monitors are MUCH thicker
than the ones in the old days.

The bullit left two holes and the air equalized quicker.
But any sound was masked by the gun.

These guns work better - they get rid of the unwanted program(s) without implosions ....

Dave Mudgett wrote:"Klaatu barada nikto" - simple, it translates as "I'm the chick Klaatu told you about. Don't kill me."

I always thought it was Martian for "K says to chill out!"

...if someone offered me a gig like this with the potential for six figures income for a few days work, I would jump on the plane - at their expense - and do it with a smile.

Dave, are you really that hard up?

Post by **Dave Mudgett** » 27 Apr 2008 8:30 am

Tell ya' what, Donny - if you get a six-figure playing/acting gig like this that is beneath you, you can flip it to me - I'll even cut you in for a decent percentage as my "agent".

Hey, I'm a realist - the low end of six figures is over $2000-3000 per hour if we're talking 2-3 days work. The work itself would be playing guitar and singing on a TV set - is that so horrible? How many of you full-time musicians have played worse gigs than this? Be honest. I know when I was playing full-time, I had a few real awful ones, and they didn't pay anything like this.

Maybe I am missing something here.What does all this have to do with music?

Music
Musical topics not directly related to steel guitar

Hi Ron,
I posted this topic in the Music section because it's about a song (which is music albeit very bad music in this case). I admit the discussion that ensued after my initial post did occasionally stray off the topic of "music" however I still think what people had to contribute here was valuable, and interesting even though everything mentioned wasn't specifically related to "music". No big deal in my opinion.
