KISS/Music From The Elder-Dark Light

KISS/Music From The Elder-Under The Rose

On this day 35 years ago, KISS released their ninth album Music From The Elder. The album was KISS' attempt at a concept album to appeal to critics but it largely became the biggest flop KISS did as they were already in severe decline in America at that point and this made it worse. To this day, it's one of the few KISS studio albums not to be certified. It was the second album produced by Bob Ezrin who previously produced Destroyer and was coming off co-producing Pink Floyd's The Wall. It was the debut album of second drummer Eric Carr and the last to involve Ace Frehley until Psycho Circus 17 years later as the album was the final straw for Frehley who quit a year later but not before refusing to participate in Creatures of The Night. However, I personally enjoy the album as it was good but wrong place at the wrong time.

The Simpsons - Charles Bronson on The Andy Griffith Show

What would've made The Andy Griffith Show a bigger classic? Why, if Charles Bronson replaced Griffith on the show. Funny idea from The Simpson. By the way, I love how they say "a young Charles Bronson" when The Andy Griffith Show began in October 1960 which was a month before he turned 39. Sure that's not old but he wasn't a 20 something kid.

Death Wish 2 | Do You Believe in Jesus?

Probably one of the funniest and bad ass scenes in American Cinema with Bronson as Paul Kersey confronting a mugger who raped and killed his daughter, asking him if believe in Jesus with the mugger saying he did, and Bronson assuring him he'll be meeting him before blowing him to kingdom come.

Oh fuck. I forgot yesterday is what would've been Charles Bronson's 95th birthday. Bronson was of course best known for being one of Hollywood's tough guys appearing in movies like The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, The Dirty Dozen, Once Upon A Time In The West, and The five Death Wish movies. Bronson passed away on August 30, 2003 at the age of 81 due to pneumonia and Alzheimer's disease.

A Look Back At The Universal Wrestling Federation 30 Years Later

A Look Back At The Universal Wrestling Federation 30 Years Later

In March 1986, Wrestling Legend and Promoter Bill Watts attempted to go national when he transformed his Mid South Wrestling promotion into the Universal Wrestling Federation. On paper, Watts seemed to have just about everything to make it work. He was a great promoter and booker who could book episodic TV, he had some of the best wrestlers in America, many great young prospects, and raided World Class Championship Wrestling of some of their best. Unfortunately, The UWF would last until April 1987 when Watts sold to Jim Crockett who eventually shut it down in December 1987. Many have blamed the oil recession that occurred in the fall of 1986 as being the big reason why as The UWF was headquartered in the Mid South which was hit the hardest by it. However, if you look at it, The UWF likely was doomed regardless and we'll take a look at what they had going for them as well as against them.
