| Posted: 09 Nov 2011 05:23 PM PST  Deniz Tek Deniz is in Australia and their time is ahead so though this story is November 9 here is is the 10th there... Thanks to Mark Sisto for the assist tonight! My tribute to The Only and Only Deniz Tek! Happy Birthday to my pal Deniz Tek. What a guy and and I ever happy to have met him. We have worked together going on 2 years now and what an experience... What a musical education along with all the very exciting stories he tells me about life as a Navy Flight Surgeon and more.... Deniz just finished an art showing at Hand Of Law Gallery and sat in with his great friend Penny Ikinger too. For now I am sharing some videos of Deniz that I had a lot to do with getting produced... This little video is from my first meeting with Deniz at a rehearsal studio/warehouse in Ann Arbor and what a lucky girl to be sitting in a chair with my camera! Al King on Drums/Chris Taylor Bass/ Scott Morgan guitar and vocals/Deniz Tek... Eric Pouille (Holy Curse) singing "New Race" impromptu at The Blind Pig... Al King/Chris Taylor/Scott Morgan and Deniz Tek back to camera.... Deniz, his brother Karl, and Eric Pouille went to film this clip about Denniz "Machinegun Thompson" at Madonna University with Dan Boyd. Deniz Tek...best known as the guitarist, main songwriter, and leader of Aussie Stooges-disciples Radio Birdman, Deniz Tek is originally from Ann Arbor, MI. Inspired by such local heroes as the MC5 and the aforementioned Stooges during the '60s, Tek decided to form his own high-energy rock outfit, patterned after both bands, upon arriving in Australia in 1971 (to study medicine at the University of New South Wales). Happy Birthday Deniz with much love from KIMMER     |

| TIM HURLEY: OPEN LETTER TO THE NFL!! Posted: 09 Nov 2011 07:06 AM PST Dear NFL, On behalf of every Lion Loving Music Fan in Michigan, please take note. As a 56 year old life time, dyed-in-the Honolulu Blue wool, long-suffering resident, words lack to describe how horrified the Detroit Lions fans are about any consideration given to NickelBack "performing" this Thanksgiving Day's half-time show. Hasn't Detroit gone through enough without having to endure aural ASSAULT? What brain-trust in your organization made this asinine call? Have you taken leave of your senses? Who made this call? C'mon! Get a grip! NickelBack is not worthy to clean the jock straps of our beloved Lion players.  With all of the home-grown talent on hand in the "D", why would you pick this band of no-talent, soulless losers? You might take a cue from the Illitch organization. Did you happen to catch Aretha Franklin tearing up the National Anthem during the playoffs? Almost ANYONE but Nickelback would be better suited at Ford Field. Yeah...times are tough. Maybe your budget has taken a hit. Bob Seger, Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, Eminem & Stevie Wonder may be out of reach. There are plenty of other local bands and talent that might jump at a chance to represent Detroit.  Scott Morgan and the "Irrationals" Have you considered Scott Morgan and the Irrationals, the Muggs, Jim McCarty with Johnny Bee or any other dozens of available local bands? Why not? Anyone can write and bitch. However, after prayer and careful thought, here's a great idea idea and a killer tip...  DKT/MC5 Enlist DKT/MC5 for the gig. The remaining members of the Five could co-conspire with other recalcitrant rebels and provide a half-time show to end all shows. I guarantee they would tear that place up while kicking out some serious jams and making Detroit proud. Heck, you could fly those boys in, pay em' right and combine their collective talents. Imagine Dennis "Machine Gun" Thompson & Scott "Rock Action" banging dual sets of skins with Michael Davis on bass guitar providing a rhythmic jack-hammer section of pulverizing undertow throb; James Williamson on rhythm guitar; Wayne Kramer on lead--fronted by Scott Morgan & Iggy Pop on vocals. Think of the set list medley possibilities. How bout' "Kick Out The Jams" "Come Together" "Down On The Street" "I Wanna Be Your Dog" (to pump up Ndamukong Suh for the 2nd half) ending with a holy cacophony encore of "Black To Comm"? O' my soul...now that would be a halftime gig worthy of Ford Field. By the end of halftime, the game would be over with those Green Bay Cheeseheads cowering in their locker room collectively shizzing themselves in terror while calling for mommy. I'd encourage you in the strongest terms to get your act together. Reconsider your choice to bring in Nickelback and then fire the son of a bitch who did it. No mercy. Save yourselves from the worst PR fiasco that could ever befall the NFL. Trust me, it would do more damage in 10 minutes than in the entire tenure of Russ Thomas.  Have you seen the new T-shirt? Finally, I'll include a clip of a song that only the rebellious rocker society of Detroit & Ann Arbor could have ever produced. Play it and then see if Nickelback could ever hope to deliver the goods required for a home-town Detroit audience. May God bless you to see the error of your ways, to repent & correct them before it's too late. "The horror...the horror" Tim Hurley HURLCO Royal Oak, Michigan  |
