The trophies DO have cool names, however. [ReviewJournal]

Video

Donut King sends along today's video. I'll let him explain:

Also, one you can file away for a lazy (or crazy) day . . . featuring the stylings of the cult heroes (as it were) of the 1960's British Invasion, "The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown" and their biggest hit, "Fire". This was from 1968 . . . seriously, Alice Cooper owes this crazy bastard some money for stealing his gimmick . . . I'm sure some of the oldies at the site (my guess is that Mr. Prospects Department would be one) might love you for posting this.

While I’m not entirely pleased with the “oldies” comment… :-D

… that was a kick-ass tune, and one of my all-time favorites.

I remember hearing that on KXOK when I was a kid, as well as Alice Cooper (who came on the scene right about the same time, actually), and digging it tremendously.

Well if you weren't denying that you're old . . .

I’d be worried. I mean, seriously!

Glad you enjoy that song. Some co-workers introduced me to it a few years back, and I recently found the video clip.

I was doing my Thrash draft preview for Cycle Like the Sedins...

… one of the questions was “who is the biggest bust for your franchise?” I refused to cop out and say “STEFAN!” so I dug around… We picked Alex Bourret that year. If Don Waddell had a functioning brain, TJ Oshie could be in a Thrashers sweater right now.

You’re welcome. ;)
