Guitar Licks

I just read an article on Google that the mighty Danforth Music Hall is being shut down by the owners of this landmark on the Danforth for not paying their rent.

Every time I drive by the Danforth Music Hall, I can’t help but think about all the great acts that I’ve seen within it’s hallowed walls. The most recent acts I’ve witnessed there are Rick Wakeman and Amos Lee.

The company that use to rent the Danforth Music Hall put in tons of time, energy and money into the building in 2005. They brought it back to it’s original aesthetics. The overall set up in the hall is fabulous. The seats are comfortable and the overall feel to it is relaxing to say the least. They also installed a great PA system that is far superior to the one that was there back in the 80’s and 90’s.

“It’s gone through all sorts of transformations,” said Gerald Whyte, president of the Riverdale Historical Society. “It was the only [National Theatre] that was still operating as a theatre.” Globe and Mail

Electra Films Ltd., the company that currently owns the building, is either trying to remove or just get it’s money from Ellipsis Leisure Retail Inc., I’m hoping for the latter. A notice that is posted on the front doors of the building states that Electra is owed a little bit more than $44,000 in rent back rent.

I for one hope that Ellipsis gets back on more stable financial footings in the very near future and they keep this jewel of The Danforth open for years to come.

Keep on Jammin’ Music Hall!

The crazy guitar/hunting enthusiast Ted Nugent was charged with killing a helpless deer while taping a TV reality show for the Outdoor Channel called Spirit of the Wild, last February. A game warden was a witness to the event and said that he targeted a deer that was too young to be hunted.

His defense lawyer entered a no-contest plea on Nugent’s behalf Friday. The charge is a misdemeanor counts of baiting a deer and failing to acquire an authorized signature to confirm the kill’s legality.

Mr Cat Scratch Fever was originally facing 11 charges, but his attorney was able to get the charges dropped after a negotiated a deal with the courts. Mr Nugent must pay a fine of $1,750 fine to reconcile the affair.

Still crazy after all these years!

Keep on Jammin’

Now is it just me or is this the most intergalactic looking guitar that you’ve every seen? It appears to be part spaceship and guitar all rapped up in one. Ah, this must be the Spaceship Super Star’s guitar! Finally I found the Solar Power Laser Beam Guitar that Prism was talking about. All that is missing is the solar panels.

Keep on Jammin’
