The Rock Relic

Late Night With The Relic …

by Chuck Hinson on July 12th, 2008

Okay, let’s seee … cats are asleep, everythin’s quiet … guess it’s time to PARRRRTY!!
ummm … waitaminnit … I can’t … break … this … chain that’s cuffed me to the computer. And there’s … there’s only …coffee … in front of me. (Sigh!) Okay … guess I’d better get back to writin’, then …

DUNNO … MEBBE SHE WUZ FROM THE FBI OR SOMETHIN’: Can ya believe this?? Someone sent RelicMail askin’ “Relic, we don’t know nothing (sic) about you, so why don’t you tell us what you’re (sic)back ground is like?”
Okay … but only ’cause you asked: My background is covered in pants at the moment, and I’m sitting on it … got a cat scratch on my …
oh …
Naaaah … ain’t gonna go into it here, okay? But I’ll give ya a coupla/three clues — and they’re all in songs:

  • AMAZING by Aerosmith. Bro, this is my past. It’s no diff from any of the rockers who’ve gone before me. Wanna know more? Just ask via email, okay? Let’s just say that ya can’t gain inner strength unless you’ve been through an outer fire or two in yer life.
  • YOU’VE GOT THE TOUCH by Van Halen. From the Transformers cartoon movie came a song that pretty much sums up how I feel since learnin’ the uncovered secret. It’s a song that I’d recommend to anyone fightin’ a battle … ’cause “you’ve got the power” inside you (PS it was on this site a coupla/three clicks back).
  • DON’T STOP by Fleetwood Mac. It’s my belief for the future. It’s as bright as we wanna make it, if we realize that “it’ll be better than before. Yesterday’s gone …”
  • TUBTHUMPER by Chumbawumba (chorus only). Hey … it’s me, man …
  • TELL YOUR FRIEND by The Fore. Now, it’s not released yet, but I’ve an advance copy from the lads and, believe me, when ya do hear it, it’ll make ya wanna walk a little faster and feel a whole lot livelier!

That all bein’ said, I’ll let you put the pieces together, okay? We’ve got a coupla …

NEWS ITEMS

Remember when I toldja about Olivia Newton-John’s recent marriage? Well, The National Enquirer (that great bastion of breaking news. Or mebbe the writers are just bastions … or something …) reported that Cher just married a Hell’s Angels member who’s 22 years younger than her!
What’d she say about it?? Who knows? My contacts say she was too busy “laughing hysterically” to answer anyone! I mean, she could hardly catch her breath! So, apparently, that means “no”.

And tabs in the UK are sayin’ that Ron Wood (he of the Stones) has left his wife and is sharin’ his estate in Ireland with an 18-year-old Russian cocktail waitress! Funny thing, though: His wife says it ain’t so, and says he’s “off the wagon” and the girl is just his “drinking partner.” Uh-huh. Suuuuuuuure, Mrs. Wood! Ummm, wanna look again??

REMEMBER TO KEEP LUKE BENTLEY (of The Fore) IN YER PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS!! As soon as I hear somethin’, I’ll share it with ya here! The lads are due to play a Beach Party this afternoon … and I’ll also report on that the moment Neil gets the info to me …

Well, that’s it for this edition! Until tomorrow afternoon, remember to
Keep yer eyes on the skies, yer feet on the ground, yer heart with the music (and Luker!)

and I’ll see ya on the flip side!
