“Gas 3.00 a gallon.
Inflation rising.
Millions of Americans losing their homes.
A War 6 years on with no end in sight.{we may be pulling down from Iraq but the troops are moving to Afghanistan}
Corruption at every level of the judiciary.
Jobs disappearing at record levels.
Banks collapsing.
Our standing in the world at historically low levels.
Our once great relationship with a newly democratic Russia disintegrating as we speak
And MANY MANY more challenges await us.
And the Republicans are focusing on NOTHING but stupid shit.
Complete and utter fluff.
And the media runs right the f*** along.
This country is f******* doomed.”

Mister Got Heat: Athens’ BEST BAND, PERIOD.

10 09 2008

Most music sucks, lets just be honest. But when it comes to Athens, Ohio bands, there’s only one choice for awesome music: Mister Got Heat!

Who is Mister Got Heat, you ask? Shut up and listen.

Pat Miner, best drummer this side of the ‘ssippi. He’ll burst your eardrums, wait for them to heal, then burst ’em again. Don’t even mess. Seriously.
Danny Boyer, asstastic bass-o-matic fully lubed love engine. Be careful girls, he’ll get you preggers from the stagers.
Matt Slater, finger-frying eargasmic sound bombs on the geetar. No relation to Jon, though no DNA test has disproved this yet. Current theories hold that Jon and Matt are the lovechildren of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Mama Cass.
Jon “Baby J” Slater, who triples as the band’s singer, sexy saxamaphoner and full-time cherry poppin’ machine (because every band needs one)

Their next show is Thursday, September 18, 2008 at The Union in Athens, OH.

There is another show Saturday, September 20, 2008 at Casa Nueva in Athens, OH.
