Congratulations to Sam Vance on his NYPD Blue performance. That was really good. He was the detective at the murder crime scene, towards the end of the show. My friend, "Chad" always told me what a good show that was but for some reason, I could never get into it. However, after watching the two shows with Sam, I can only wonder what I missed. Before I forget, I want to give a quick shout out to my Mom. What up?

Speaking of shouting out, last night I bought a classic metal CD - Motley Crue's Shout at the Devil. Man is that good stuff! I grew up on the Crue. When they were on the show a few years back I got to have them sign their release forms for the show. They seemed like really nice guys. They played on 53rd street and rocked Manhattan! What else did I do last night? How about the nice day we had yesterday? Another summer without air conditioning in my car - you really don't need it. I just look at it like this; sweating nonstop for three months is a natural function of the body. OH SWEET LORD, PLEASE LET ME FIND A CAR WITH A/C. If you remember from last week I told you my brother was going to start writing about his heavy metal exploits. Well, he finally wrote something, sort of:

Greetings Fellow Headbangers! George B here. Yes, it is true, I am Bob's older brother, married to a wonderful wife, we have 3 tremendous children...and I play drums in a heavy metal band. I just wanted to give you some background on myself because I have been recently hired by the staff of bobborden.com to manage the heavy metal division of this site.

Every 2 weeks I'll be responsible for giving you, the interested few, a glimpse into my world...the world of Heavy Metal! You see I'm on a mission, a mission to bring back the world's most misunderstood and forgotten art form known as Heavy Metal! In addition to my other website www.aftershok.com, bobborden.com has given me yet another forum to voice my news and views on this exciting topic.

So look forward to my first installment 2 weeks from today. I'll also be accepting story suggestions and Q & A from you...the bobborden.com family of viewers, write me at info@aftershok.com for submissions and ideas! In closing I would like to thank the entire staff and management of bobborden.com for giving me this opportunity and for showing the consideration and respect this forgotten art form deserves! See ya in 2 weeks. ROCK ON BOB!

Thanks, George. I can't wait to hear about life on the road. That's it for today. Have a good one.
