All of Melbourne went to the beach today, including a woman in a very colourful towel-poncho-hoodie thing that said 'anti bad vibes shield' which definitely needs to be a poncho in Jedi 3.

Besabbathed
I put on black clothes and painted my fingernails black just to write this. Even my socks are pitch black. And our neighbors' rooster avoids me when he notices me even from a distance, and that's good for him, because today I would do the same if I were him.
I can't remember where I might have read it, but it seems most likely to me that Bruce was the source of the information that the working title of It Never Goes Away was Black Sabbath (1) .
And with this I could claim to have said everything on this subject, namely that It Never Goes Away's main riff and Black Sabbath's Black Sabbath are basically one and the same. The only difference is that Kiss do everything possible in terms of arrangement to add a few more tracks to their version by shifting the pitches downwards, adding lower pitched guitar tracks to the higher ones, and doing all sorts of things with the bass and making the whole thing as low and just as downbeat as (un-)humanly possible. Many a Kiss fan had to come to terms with that, and still nibbles at it today.
To paraphrase a saying: When you set out to out-black sabbath Black Sabbath, do it right, or don't do it at all. In my humble opinion, I can only say that Carnival of Souls is one of the few albums on which Kiss really did everything right.
The only thing I think Paul needs to work on is his Ozzy impression.
Side Note:
(1) In between on the Head-Promo Picture LP it was listed as It Never Ends.
It Never Goes Away (1997)

On March 25, 1931, 9 African American teenagers were accused of raping two white women, Victoria and Ruby, aboard a Southern Railroad freight train in northern Alabama.
Haywood Patterson, Olen Montgomery, Clarence Norris, Willie Roberson, Andy Wright, Ozzie Powell, Eugene Williams, Charley Weems and Roy Wright were searching for work when a racially-charged fight broke out between passengers.
The fight is said to have started when a young white man stepped on the hand of one of the Scottsboro Boys. The young white men who were fighting were forced to exit the train. Enraged, they conjured a story of how the black men were at fault for the incident.
By the time the train reached Paint Rock, Alabama, the Boys were met with an angry mob & charged with assault. Victoria and Ruby, who were also in the train, faced charges of vagrancy & illegal sexual activity. In order to avoid the charges, they falsely accused the Boys of rape.
The original cases were tried in Scottsboro, Alabama. Only four of the young African American men knew each other prior to the incident on the freight train, but as the trials drew increasing regional and national attention they became known as the Scottsboro Boys.
On April 9, 1931, eight of the nine young men were convicted and sentenced to death. The judge granted Roy Wright, the youngest of the group, a mistrial because of age—despite the recommendation of the all-white jury.
After this initial verdict, protests emerged in the north, leading to the U.S. Supreme Court overturning the convictions in 1932, in Powell v. State of Alabama. The Supreme Court demanded a retrial on the grounds that the young men did not have adequate legal representation.

Randy Rhoads: Reflections of a Guitar Icon (2022)
 “Randy Rhoads: Reflections of a Guitar Icon”  is a 2022 documentary about legendary guitarist who rose to fame as lead guitarist of Ozzy Osbourne’s solo band. Rhoads died tragically at age 25 after a plane crashed into his tour bus. He was an integral part of the success of Ozzy’s first two classic albums: “Blizzard of Ozz” and “Diary of a Madman.” but those successes make up very little of the documentary (mostly in the last twenty minutes). 
 The majority of the film details his time as lead guitarist of Quiet Riot and the band’s, to that point unsuccessful, attempts to get a record deal. Coming up at about the same time in Southern California, Van Halen & Quiet Riot had a rivalry which ended when VH got signed by Warner Brothers.
 A story detailing a talented rock band’s attempts to make it big, is pretty common. Although I know QR was a big part of the Randy Rhoads story, I thought there was too much of that and not enough of his time with Ozzy. What I did enjoy was RR’s early history, in which he established VERY early that he was a prodigy, especially coming from a musical family. There’s a funny story relayed about his guitar teacher saying he could after nine months not teach him anymore because for the last month and a half Randy had been teaching HIM and the teacher couldn’t keep up.
 There is a plethora of Rhoads’ audio interviews while in Quiet Riot and footage of him after joining Osbourne. There are some good interviews with QR bandmates as well as George Lynch, Gary Wright and Bruce Kulick. Ozzy appears in some clips from previous interviews.
 Another problem is that none of the classic music he made with Osbourne is in the film., except a few snippets by other players at the end. Makes it difficult if you’re not already a fan, which I am, if you don’t hear the music that helped RR achieve legendary status. Still, it’s nice to see a documentary attempt to capture the story of one of the greatest rock guitarists, even if it’s not completely successful.

This day in Classics of Rock…
March 28th
2013 - Hugh McCracken
American rock guitarist and session musician Hugh McCracken died of leukemia in New York City at the age of 70. He appeared on many recordings by Steely Dan, Donald Fagen, Billy Joel, Roland Kirk, Roberta Flack, B. B. King, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, The Monkees, Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, James Taylor, Phoebe Snow, Bob Dylan, Carly Simon, Graham Parker, Eric Carmen, Loudon Wainwright III, Aretha Franklin, Van Morrison, The Four Seasons, Hall and Oates, Gary Wright and Andy Gibb. Because of such high demand for his work, McCracken declined Paul McCartney's invitation to help form his new band, Wings after appearing on his 1971 album Ram.
2000 - Jimmy Page
Jimmy Page accepted substantial undisclosed libel damages from a magazine which claimed he had caused or contributed to the death of his Led Zeppelin bandmate John Bonham. Page's solicitor, Norman Chapman, told High Court Judge Mr Justice Morland that the feature in Ministry magazine printed in 1999 claimed Page was more concerned with keeping vomit off his bed than saving his friend's life, and that he stood over him wearing Satanist robes and performing a useless spell.
1992 - Ozzy Osbourne
Over a $100,000 (£58,800) worth of damage was caused at The Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre, California, when Ozzy Osbourne invited the first two rows of the audience on stage. Several others took up the offer and the band was forced to exit the stage.
1976 - Phil Collins
Genesis began their first North American tour since Peter Gabriel left the band, appearing in Buffalo, New York, with Phil Collins taking over as lead singer.
1973 - Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin released their fifth studio album, Houses Of The Holy in the UK. The album title was a dedication by the band to their fans who appeared at venues they dubbed 'Houses of the Holy'. The cover is a collage of several photographs which were taken at the Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland, by Aubrey Powell of Hipgnosis. The two children who modelled for the cover were siblings Stefan and Samantha Gates.
1970 - Simon and Garfunkel
Simon and Garfunkel were at No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', the duo's only UK No.1. Only Art Garfunkel sang on the track.
1968 - Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd recorded a performance for the BBC 2 TV Omnibus - The Sound of Change show from Barnes Common, London, England. The special, which was produced by Tony Palmer, also featured performances by The Who, Cream and The Jimi Hendrix Experience. The show was later broadcast in September of this year.
1967 - The Beatles
Working on sessions for the new Beatles album Sgt. Pepper at Abbey Road studios in London, John Lennon recorded his lead vocal for ‘Good Morning Good Morning’, and Paul McCartney added a lead guitar solo to the track. Lennon had decided he wanted to end the song with animal sound effects, and asked that they be sequenced in such a way that each successive animal was capable of scaring or eating the preceding one.

Anthony’s Stupid Daily Blog (322): Wed 1st Feb 2023
Checked out the amazing zombie movie Train to Busan. Going in you wonder how the film can sustain the seemingly constricting premise of a zombie outbreak onboard a moving train but after a few minutes you realise the filmmakers have everything figured out as the core of the movie is the characters and their relationships with one another rather than on the zombies. Almost every scene in this movie is an instant classic especially one where the train stops at a seemingly abandoned station so the passengers can rendezvous with the army who have set up safety blockades nearby. However they soon learn that the army have been infected too and need to get back to the train (which has some carriages sealed off with zombies inside but nevertheless is safer than being outside). Edgar Wright named this film the best zombie flick he’s seen since he made his classic Shaun of the Dead and I have to say I agree. Not that I haven’t seen great zombie flicks from recent years in my zombie marathon but this film has genuine scares, well written characters, nail biting suspense, impressive effects and brilliantly choreographed stunts.
Well I sort of knew this was coming for a while but today the news was confirmed that Ozzy Osbourne will have to cancel all his upcoming tour dates due to failing health. I first bought tickets to this show in 2018 but Ozzy had to cancel it due to I’ll health. It was then rescheduled for 2019 but he had to cancel again so he could recover from an operation. Then in 2020 he couldn’t do it due to a pandemic or something so it was pushed back to 2023 but following his recent Parkinson’s disease he’s announced that he’s no longer physically capable of touring and as a result the tour has been permanently called off. This is heartbreaking but the man’s health has to come first and I hope Ozzy takes the time to shop around and find the right medications to make his condition more manageable. The thing is I didn’t even buy the tickets to see Ozzy but rather his tour support Judas Priest (not that I don’t like Ozzy but I already saw him live on Black Sabbath’s farewell tour). Judas Priest may still come over here to tour and if they do I’ll buy some tickets to that but sadly it looks like they’ll be touring without the Prince of Fucking Darkness.

africanarchives Scottsboro Boys were 9 black teenagers falsely accused in 1931 of raping 2 white women on a train and an all white jury found them guilty. They collectively served more than 100 years in prison.
The right of blacks to serve on juries was established by their case.
On March 25, 1931, nine African American teenagers were accused of raping two white women, Victoria and Ruby, aboard a Southern Railroad freight train in northern Alabama.
Haywood Patterson, Olen Montgomery, Clarence Norris, Willie Roberson, Andy Wright, Ozzie Powell, Eugene Williams, Charley Weems and Roy Wright were searching for work when a racially-charged fight broke out between passengers.
