The Bunny Did It

I'm sure by now most of you have seen a picture or two of me in a Bunny suit taken on stage at the Meat Loaf show this past Friday night - Halloween. I'm pretty sure the last time I put on a costume for Halloween was more years ago than I care to remember. I always thought it wasn't cool to dress up as someone (or something) other than myself.
Well, talk about not cool ... inside that silly Bunny costume was akin to an August day in Iraq. I could barely keep it on for a whole song and had to run over to Charlie to have him strip me of it while in the middle of Rock & Roll Dreams.
I have to admit, it was fun and sharing the stage with The Joker (Randy), Joe The Plumber (Dave), Gene Simmons (Patty), Paul Stanley (CC), Barney Rubble (Paul) and Elvis (Meat) was an experience.
So, Meat shows finished for the time being, I'm off to Manchester tomorrow for the start of the next leg of the Todd / Arena tour.
There will be no dressing up on this one but there WILL be new backstage pass episodes. I have my trusty little camera packed, battery charged and I plan on taking as much footage as I can before people start running away from me because I'm going Scorcese on them.
First gig isn't till the 6th and I'll be cooling my jets for a couple days waiting for the rest of the guys to arrive.
I got a call this afternoon (Sunday) from the Musicians Union reminding me to vote and urging me to vote Democratic.
I got extremely insulted. After all, it was Sunday, and the Musicians Union is a joke anyway .... they take your money and give you nothing in return, and indeed, what right do they have to suggest whom I should be voting for.
However .... it IS important.
I'm sure you've been hammered over the head in the past few weeks here in the US to vote and I'm going to remind you one more time .... it's your right and duty to go in and pull the lever for whomever you believe to be the best choice.
Nothing is going to get fixed anytime soon but the only way we can start to make things better is by being heard.
