Krude is Back!
That's right. Krude is back. For nearly 3 years straight without
stopping with fresh Krudeness every week, it was time for a break. But now, no
more excuses. Chill the bubbly. Or call your clergyman. Preemptive antibiotic infusions
not needed. Krude is back! Get used to it.
The death of my father hit me hard. Kinda weird since I'd
only been in his presence twice since 1996. In my mind I was constantly going
over all the positive scenarios that I went through with him. It was only
fitting that I accentuate the good and tuck away the bullshit upon his death.
It was a wild ride being related to that fucker. To expect the unexpected was
very much the norm with him. But I wouldn't change anything that went down
during our time together on earth. All that shit made Krude, Krude. And I'm
letting bygones be bygones. Godspeed Lenny.
Sitting at a bar a few days after he died was a surreal
experience. I wasn't looking for tail or to get blitzed (?!?!?). I was drinking Guinness
drafts and thinking about life after Dad. And what life will be like for my
20 year old son and me, for the future. I know that my son has a smart, rational
head on his death metal loving shoulders. But he doesn't know his Dad is Kapn
Krude. Nor does he fully know about his late grandfather's chequered past. Things
will change....
Drinking more stout beer these days. Sam Adams or Yuengling
are my usual choices. But Guinness stout doesn't cause me any extracurricular
physical pain, so why not? I won't tell my doctor. Ha!
Judas Priest/Saxon/Black Star Riders was an epic show
I saw recently in Newark, NJ. Priest, at almost 50 years together, still brought
the metal hard for an enthusiastic crowd. Awesome show by Priest. Seeing Ricky
Warwick lead the Black Star Riders was 28 years in the making for Krude. It was
1990 when I last saw Warwick perform when he was with The Almighty. Saxon
played great as well. A true New Wave of British Heavy Metal original.
Another
stellar show Krude attended recently with Bum Wine Bob himself was My
Life With The Thrill Kill Kult. I've seen TKK about 20 times over the
years. To see them in a rustic style NJ roadhouse was a first. TKK played mostly
80's era tunes with the usual sleazy zest that they are known for. The rock
keeps rolling in NJ....
Weather is getting warmer. Baseball is in full swing. Krude
is happy to be writing this blog again. Life is good. Mahalo
