I never knew who Ozzy was singing about either! Not that long ago, I saw a documentary about the occult and it featured Aleister Crowley.
Crowley actually offered his occult expertise to British Intelligence during WWII. It is said that he was well acquainted with Ian Fleming.
Some saw Aleister Crowley as the most evil man in the world (next to Hitler).
Others saw him as an exceptionally creative person that rejected tradition, travelled and did what he liked for a living, instead of working a normal job.
-One could understand how a young musical artist would be interested in the life of Crowley.

I was a member of the old forum for less than a year before the demise. I don't think that is long ago enough to qualify as an old dawg.

-Back to Jimmy.
-Before Jimmy Page was a professional guitarist, he owned and operated an occult book store.
-Jimmy studied the life and writings of Aleister Crowley. Crowley was a magician at times, rejected Christianity, studied the occult and started his own cult called the Abbey of Thelema in Sicily.
Ozzie Osborne recorded a song about Aleister Crowley entitled, "Mr Crowley".
When I was in high school, Robert Plant's son died tragically and unexpectedly at the age of 5 or 6. It was said that Plant blamed the unexpected death on the witchcraft of Jimmy Page.
-I don't know if Jimmy's study of the occult was just a phase he went through or if he really embraced witchcraft.

"Why do you keep picking folks I don't know at all?"You are showing how young you are, Kat. -Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page worked together in the Yardbirds. The Yardbirds had another member you may have heard of: Eric Clapton. -Jeff Beck later formed his own band; the Jeff Beck Group. A pic of the band is below. You may recognize the bloke in the back of the pic; Rod Stewart. The members of the Jeff Beck Band changed from time to time. Watch out for those black cats!

"I love the "kitchen-chair" on/off of the flat floor."
I put a 1 gallon gas can on my flat floor today to go get some fuel for the lawn mower.
Much more fun than jumping in my truck to fetch lawn mower gas.
The weeds are growing much faster than my grass.

Poster child for why you shoudn't wheelie on a public road.
Also, a poster child for why you shouldn't ride a quad on a public road.

Carburetors don't scare me, as long as it is a single carb. If I had a multi jug bike, I would prefer EFI.

I don't think you can make a bad choice under these circumstances. I like scooters with classic styling (likeVespa) so I would pick the People 300. The x-town body work is too big and wide for my taste. You can't go wrong with either scoot.   |

Saw Red Sparrow, with Jennifer Lawrence. Not for everybody. Fans of grungey spy movies or movies about the KGB WILL LIKE IT. I didn't. OK for rental or download if you like to really pay attention to every whisper.
