Okay, so before I start getting angry replies to this post over my lack of respect for what Saint Patrick’s Day is really all about, please allow me to relay the following sentiment:
.
Most Americans, if they’re to be honest with themselves, rarely even consider the religious aspects of Saint Patrick’s Day, and the ones who do probably wouldn’t like this blog much anyway. After all, Doug and I are both shameless vulgarians – well, at least I am – not to mention male chauvinist pigs. We regularly post pictures of scantily clad women here and openly mock people who take themselves too fuckin’ seriously, so if this little blog entry offends your sensibilities, I suggest that you quietly go pound sand up your arse.
Oh, and HAPPY SAINT PADDY’S DAY!!!

Not much for country music, but these tunes get played at a place I usually get to on Sunday to have a beer, and a steak, so I have grown to like them.
Via Smitty comes some interesting trivia about a man I bet you never heard of Claude nobs
Did not know this:
The name of Claude Nobs will be forever enshrined in Deep Purple’s Smoke on the Water, the song with perhaps the most famous riff in rock history. Nobs was a co-founder of the Montreaux Jazz Festival, which by the early 1970s had grown to embrace rock artists such as Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. In 1971, the Montreaux casino caught fire during a performance by Frank Zappa after an audience member fired a flare gun at the ceiling. Nobs dragged a number of concert goers to safety earning himself the title Funky Claude in Deep Purple’s song.
Related lyric:
They burned down the gambling house,
It died with an awful sound.
(Uh) Funky Claude was running in and out,
Pulling kids out the ground.
When it all was over,
We had to find another place.
But Swiss time was running out,
It seemed that we would lose the race.
Smoke on the water and fire in the sky.
Smoke on the water…
