Still Vaping!

 

Well, I never thought I would see a bunch of new songs from The Vapors! Most people remember them for "Turning Japanese." But, their first album, "New Clear Days," is packed with great, guitar-driven, singalong, new-wave songs. "Their best (in my opinion) from that album: "News at Ten."
 
I didn't realize the guys were really young when "Turning Japanese" hit the stores. Anyway, they've been back for a while, but they now have 12 new songs. And, amazingly, Dave Fenton's voice is exactly the same as it was! Not to be missed!

Weird questions on the Radio...

 

I did a pre-record radio show / interview this morning on my new book, The Martians which turned out to be more about music, and specifically about my favorite band, the Ramones. 
 
Then, for some odd reasons, the host asked if I had kids. I said "No, I do not have kids." They are hassles, pains in the neck, and get in the way, particularly at the weekends. 
 
And that's why I had a vasectomy in my early 30s (I know: too much information LOL). That way, there's zero chance of someone knocking on the door 9 months later with some screaming brat in their arms 🙂
 

But if I did have kids they would have to be named Johnny and Ramona. What else could it be? 🙂
