Car talk with the Gangliozzi Brothers
Dear Tom & Ray, Recently, my boss pissed me off by giving the promotion I was after to another guy who is, of course, less qualified than me in every way (including anatomical endowment). To get even, I decided to use the old-school "sugar in the tank" prank on my superior’s BMW. Thing is, even… Continue reading Car talk with the Gangliozzi Brothers

Bassists are always the "cool" ones in the band, laying down the groove amidst the quintessential guitarist, recognizable front man, and demented drummer.

At least your name’s not like…
Ever wonder if Mike Diamond, the legendary Beastie Boy, was related to Neil Diamond? Me neither. This story attempts to clarify, or at least insinuate, relationships between some of the world’s most notorious jackasses solely on the basis of common last name. This is a thinking exercise. Bill Goldberg, "Athlete" The 6’4", 293 lbs, Atlanta… Continue reading At least your name’s not like…
