WEBMASTER Jon, thanks for the update. Not exactly what I was hoping to hear though. I've never been that sick (thank God) but I know it takes a while to recoup from something so serious. I was hoping to hear he was a bit better than "pretty knocked out". Thanks for letting us know. It's greatly appreciated.

C'mon peeps, keep sending Joe your good vibes and prayers for a full recovery!!

GET WELL SOON JOE! WE LOVE YOU! Rest up, and when you get tired of resting, rest some more!

Wild one about Ray Charles and seeing extra F's.

civgeek, it's a true gift handed down from generation to generation - the art of tweaking your child. lol! I'll send you an email of the sound clip I played yesterday every time my son walked in the room. It's from the movie What's Eating Gilbert Grape. It's one of our favorite movies, and I finally bought it for the kids for Christmas. It makes me laugh like hell. lol! I expect you to use it on your kids! Congrats on the gigs!

mowlie, what's a pair of trainers? I gotta get the whole picture here. lol! Nice place too!

Rocker Lets F-Word Slip on 'Tonight Show'

LOS ANGELES - NBC hasn't received any calls about the F-word that Motley Crue rocker Vince Neil (news) dropped during the live New Year's Eve broadcast of "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno."

"Happy f---ing New Year, Tommy!" Neil said to bandmate Tommy Lee (news) shortly after midnight Friday.

The remark was carried to viewers on the East Coast but was edited out before it was broadcast in the West, according to the entertainment trade paper Variety, which reported the incident on its Web site Monday night.

Leno normally tapes his show for broadcast later in the evening but does a live version for New Year's Eve. He had never a problem with profanities before, although the word has slipped out from time to time on other programs.

"The network has not received any calls regarding the incident," an NBC official, who asked not be identified, said Monday.

U2 lead singer Bono used the F-word at last year's Golden Globe Awards (news - web sites), which was also broadcast live by NBC. The network has said it will put this year's broadcast on a 10-second delay.

The Federal Communications Commission (news - web sites), in a ruling issued last March, said the word should never be used on over-the-air radio or television programs. FCC (news - web sites) officials said at the time they had received hundreds of complaints from Golden Globes viewers.

Networks have been more cautious about material they air after singer Janet Jackson (news)'s Super Bowl performance last year

Anaheim Angels Adding Los Angeles to Name

ANAHEIM, Calif. - Baseball's Angels have a new name, and it's a mouthful: The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

The switch, which will be challenged in court by the city of Anaheim, is intended to help the team market itself to more of Southern California, attract more advertising sponsors and broadcast revenue, the team said Monday.

"We believe that the appeal in the marketplace will be broader," Angels spokesman Tim Mead said.

The city of Anaheim will file a lawsuit to block the name change and hopes to obtain a temporary restraining order in place this week, city spokesman John Nicoletti said.

Joe get well soon and come back out rocking again. thanks to the webmaster for the message.

Zinc Master - Oh no, not the F-word!!!! lol... People that complain about trivialities such as that should simply be told to fuck off. See how they like that! lmao

Yoda, nnnnnnow that's a funny story! lol!

In the latest issue of Guitar World, there's a CD-ROM that has a track off the upcoming Vai album titled "Yai Yai".

Oy.

I never thought I would say this. I cannot *stand* this song. It's like an experimental Bjork vocal run through digital effects.

SteeveeT, I did download the tunes from Thomas Bressel site. The kid DOES have the chops... I cannot comment on the production quality as I am listening through laptop speakers at the present time.

Big Bad Joe!!

Saw you on the 26th at the Fillmore. Even though you felt like crap you sounded fantastic! Thank you for your sacrifice. It's probably what led to your current condition. Also saw you at the Bone Bash, which was the first time I had seen you live, and you were incredible there. You were in a groove that night. Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that we are all thinking about you. Get rested and well and will see you on the flip side. KEEP ON ROCKIN'!!!! CHEERS!

Clarky - I went to Guitar9.com today, and there was an advert for this CD as a banner. I just brought it up because of the title, since it could raise one or two 'issues'. You may want to check it out.
