Brand New Heavies, one of my absolute obsessions in the 90s

Saw them in Aomori Japan and hung out with them at the after party.

Pays to be conspicuous I suppose. Blonde 6 foot 220-pound men weren't that common in northern Japan.

I wish I was still that small TBH, because 6-foot 270-pound bald men are depressingly common here in SW Illinois.

I think the peak Tony Iommi creative era were the Dio years.

The 1st Ozzy era was very cool, it laid the foundation that metal is still building on. They left a no doubt legendary discography.

But that late 70s early 80s production, Ronnie's song writing style and a sober and healthy Bill Ward and Geezer Butler, that was pretty freaking magical too.

Perhaps that era is overlooked because it was so short. I don't know, but lately I've been coming back to those records.

The last one, Dehumanizer suffered from that early 80s disease that killed so many 70s hard rockers - Weird production for weirdness' sake, chasing MTV exposure with shitty vodeos and the like.

But to paraphrase the Who, The riffs are alright

The NBA Christmas Day games have been pretty great.

The Knicks come back in the opening game was great, and the Spurs going into OKC and controlling the tempo for a double digit win was exactly what I wanted to happen.

I don't care about Dallas vs Oakland TBH

Anyway, Merry Christmas everybody
