On a rainy night in London town…a Whitesnake rose
Whitesnake
Hammersmith Carling Apollo
London
20 October 2004
Last night saw Coverdale and Co. deliver bluesy hard rock at the highest level. It was a sheer triumph of music ability and master showmanship. The fact that Whitesnake have such a treasure trove of songs to call on does not hurt either. Coverdale covered all aspects of his career from the storming version of Deep Purple’s Burn, through acapela versions of some of his solo material as requested by the audience, through hits from all eras of the band. With few exceptions the sell-out audience knew every word to every song and loved every minute of this tour de force. The stage set was simple and David was dressed as the elegant louche. Coverdale, the ever consumate showman, looked completely at ease as he held the stage, completely not non-plussed the gig was being filmed for a DVD. I did not expect this to exceed Whitesnake in their late 80s prime. I was proven wrong in extremis. Not only was this the best Whitesnake gig I have ever seen, it just might be one of the best gigs I have ever attended. Coverdale may be over 50, but boy has he still got it.

Yes they have upheld a ban on that evil and nasty pastime of lazertag! Nice to see they are spending valuable time and taxpayers’ money on such an issue of such great importance.

People are always saying that Orientals all look alike. This is true. They all look sort of . . . Oriental.
However, I find that there are significant differences between nationalities. Chinese generally have broad, flat faces. Japanese faces are narrower, more sharply-featured. Koreans are somewhere in-between.
To confirm my thesis, I took this test, which shows 18 pictures of people and asks you to class them as Chinese, Japanese, or Korean.
I got four right. I might have to fine-tune my thesis a bit.

Comment: I have a strong and blunt message to all you Paganists, Satanists, atheists, skeptics, and ubelievers out there. You’re all being mislead by a deranged ex-archangel who is not only screwing with your sanity, but also your very souls in which he plans to drag you all to hell to burn for eternity along with HIS soul as well. So my message is THIS: GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HIM AND GO TO JESUS AND GOD WHILE YOU’RE ALL STILL ALIVE!!!!!!!
