Sears 1974 VIP panties. Then with a cotton or nylon-lined crotch. Geeze, thanks Sears…

Welcome to this weeks Sears ‘74 flashback. We’ve come a long way sister…

Lemmy and his daily Jack.

During an interview with a Canadian newspaper, Lemmy Kilmister gave up some of the secrets to his very metal, longevity. It reads pretty much how the “book of life” anecdotes from Lemmy might read.

Lemmy on booze:

I do still drink a lot. About a bottle of Jack (Daniel’s) a day. [As for the drug consumption], I steer clear of talking about it.

Lemmy on chicks:

It’s more difficult on the road ’cause it’s so transient. If you don’t get ‘em that first night, you’re gone.

Lemmy on the forthcoming flick, Lemmy: The Movie:

I get to see the final cut before it goes out. [But] there’s not much about my life I’m uncomfortable with — really.

MOTÖRHEAD will be in Seattle for a sold-out show at The Showbox SoDo on Friday, October 2nd. Which is exactly where yours truly will be come Friday night.

You can read the entire article via the Calgary Herald.

Promotional poster for Boozetown.

Imagine, a boozer’s paradise built expressly to facilitate drinking and the good times that naturally follow. Where the bars, clubs and liquor stores never close. Where the police force is there to help drunks, not hassle them. Where even the street names salute sweet mother booze: Gin Lane, Bourbon Boulevard and Scotch Street. An adult playground like no other.

Portrait of Diego Rivera, acrylic paint carved into phone book by Alex Queral.

This portrait of one of my favorite artists (Mexican painter Diego Rivera) by artist Alex Queral just made my day. Queral lives and works in Philadelphia. He’s been carving portraits out of phone books for 14 years. If that’s not inspiring to you, you sir/ma’am might be dead.

More on Queral here. Large gallery of Queral’s phone book art here.

Thanks!: BLORT!

Life got you down? Just say fuck it.

It really works. True story.

Thanks because I really needed that today!: WOW.

Mini-portrait of the First Family by William Wigan. For G.

It takes Birmingham born mini-artist William Wigan about three months to complete his mini sculptures. Many of Wigan’s creations are as small as a single blood-cell. If you’re in London, you can check out Wigan’s works with the aid of a microscope at the My Little Eye Gallery.

Wigan and his microscopic creations are currently making stops at galleries and museums in Chicago, Houston and Washington, D.C. A new bio on Wigan, I Spy With My Little Eye, will be released this coming Thursday, October 1st.

More on Wigan here.

Ozzy Osbourne & The Blizzard of Ozz, Steal Away the Night. From Ozzy’s first solo record, Blizzard of Ozz, 1980.

Damn you Monday. I always hated you.

Love,

Your 1/2 brother Tuesday.

PS: In other news, Ozzy Osbourne just obtained a license to drive in Los Angeles, California. Mr. Crowley had this to say about his accomplishment, 40 some odd years in the making:

I just passed my driving test. Took me 60 years, but I did it! For the first time in my life, I’m legal to drive, so watch out!

Ozzy Osbourne will turn 61 this coming December. He also might dislike math a lot as well as operating a motor vehicle.

Maybe take the bus tomorrow  if your’re in LA.

Joe Perry, future politician? For the L to the P.

Last Thursday, Joe Perry finally got to meet the man he voted for in 2008, Senator John McCain. Perry was performing for the Rock Stars of Science, a conference for an org that works to increase awareness about scientific research and the health sciences. Here’s what The Perry had to say when asked if he might be considering a run for political office

Sure, if I ever find myself in that position, I could see changing things up a little. I’ve been playing rock and roll for a long time now, and if California can have actors for politicians, then maybe the rest of the country can have musicians.

The sad-old-news here is that Joe Perry is a life-long Republican. After meeting McCain, Perry had some inspiring words to say about the Senator. Sez The Perry about Johnny “That One” McCain:

I felt better about politics in general after meeting [McCain. He's a war hero, and they're the most genuine heroes. Anyone who does what [soldiers in combat] do, they’re amazing heroes. Forget about guitar heroes. It’s an overused word.

That coming from a man who used the word “hero” no less than four times just now. Never mind the guitar hero plug.  Anyway, I suppose I’m not really surprised that Joe Perry is considering stepping into the political arena. Aerosmith’s blackout past is old news and Perry’s right winged political affinity would be more than advantageous to the GOP. All I know is this, I see one photo of Joe with the $63,000 dollar woman, Sarah Palin, I’m jumping off a cliff.

Shii. Wii parody from Belgium.

Thanks to JB for the link.

Luckily, I’m only afraid of spiders. And sobriety.

You sir are one of the reasons I am scared to go to church in the first place. That and the whole fear of bursting into flames thing.

You’re Mom and Me tattoo. For AFJ.

Stay classy, mother lover.

The future Mrs. Courtney Love-Cobain-Chavez.

Courtney Love claims that during a screening for Oliver Stone’s new doc on Hugo Chávez, the Venezuelan Dictator himself was giving her the Palin-wonk from across the room. Sez Courtney:

It was the third wink that sold me. He’s a sexy dawg. He invited me to visit his country and I’d like to go. I’ll rock Caracas!

Coup de’ etat Caracas! Wait, that already happened. My bad.

More photos (shudder) and thanks to: Dlisted.

*Programming note: This photo might be the basis for my Halloween pumpkin this year. Mommy, I feel cold.*

Thunderwear, it’s underwear that’s fun to wear! Thunderwear for women brief/gun holster.

Have you ever wanted to stick your 38 Special in your crotch, but worry it would just feel too uncomfortable? Well, get ready to conceal your killin’ stick in your pants comfortably and worry free!

Thunderwear will not interfere with normal or rigorous activity. When you sit down, the weapon fits down comfortably between your legs. “Sensitive” body parts are behind the bulk of the weapon. Worn on top of the underwear and shirt, but under your trousers. Be as active as you want without ever having to adjust your holster.

Thanks and Happy 9th Birthday to: BLORT!

Knife fight instructions. If you need them, you probably shouldn’t be allowed to handle sharp objects.

It’s Saturday night. Be careful out there.

A model from the ShaDang Fashion show walks the runway on fire.

Being on fire makes you look thinner. True story.

Thanks! WOW.

Lucky for Philadelphia, their legislature isn’t stoopid enough to close 54 libraries. For LP
who knows her library card number by heart.

Earlier this month representatives for The Free Library of Philadelphia (which employees 3,000 people) said they would be closing all 54 of their branches due to severe budget constraints. On September 17th, the Philadelphia legislature passed bill 1828. The bill will provide the necessary funds to keep all Free Library locations open as well as retaining all of it’s current employee base.

Next week, the Free Library will celebrate it’s victory at the Parkway Central Free Library location with readings from books that were once banned or considered questionable literature by libraries throughout the years.

Free Library means Free Expression. America Fuck Yeah!

Can you hear me now? I feel GREAT!

According to Concert producer Tom Moffatt, Steven Tyler says he’s “feeling great and everything is back to normal.” This statement comes on the heels of confirmation that Aerosmith will play a make-up gig on October 20th at the Maui War Memorial Stadium. Ticket holders and fans filed a class-action lawsuit filed against Aerosmith after the band canceled a sold-out concert on Maui in 2007. Which should be interesting since Tyler and Joe Perry still aren’t speaking to each other. During an interview with the Boston Geraldo Herald, Perry had this to say about the future of Aerosmith:

Whether it’s him calling me or me calling him, it will happen. Maybe we have three more records in us. Maybe we have five and seven years of touring.

If you’re keeping score at home, that would put Steven Tyler at 69 and Perry himself at age 66 by the time Aerosmith’s Farewell Tour winds it’s way to it’s last stop in Boston in 2017. Sounds reasonable to me. Perry went on to talk about his recent comments to the media about Tyler “needing to clean up his act”. Sez The Perry:

Sometimes certain things come out. I always try to be as honest as I can and that’s it. I stand by everything I said. In the context of a longer interview it probably would have seemed less harsh, but it is still the truth. Relationships go through changes, songwriting partnerships go through changes. When we started using outside songwriters it definitely helped with our success in the ’80s and ’90s. I don’t know, maybe it got too comfortable to rely on that. I don’t think anybody really cares who writes the songs as long as they sound like AEROSMITH songs and, at least to me, there have been times when we drifted away from (sounding like AEROSMITH). I don’t mind using outside songwriters but I’d still like to see the core of the music coming from the guys in the band.

What? Does this mean that members of Aerosmith had nothing to do with the lyrics to the #1 hit “I Don’t Want to Miss A Thing”? Anyway, I don’t care who writes songs for Aerosmith or The Joe Perry Project. I just want them to sound like something I want to listen to for more than 30 seconds. Anyway, all this is technically good news for the Aerosmith junkies of the world (of which I am one) as there is hope that the band will be back on the road together and as solo acts in the very near future.

The Joe Perry Project will play two gigs this weekend on Saturday and Sunday. More info on that here.

Sears Single-Speed Roller Massager with chrome plated trim. 1974 price, $159.95!

I told you it would be worth the wait for this week’s Sears ‘74 post! I have to say, I’m having a hard time believing that Sear’s grossed dollar one when it comes to this contraption but, they sure made it look sexy. Of course, you wouldn’t be caught dead getting your roll-on with this massager without your Arlene Dahl Exercise Beautysuit. It really does let you be as active as you want to be.

Be careful, she goes all the way on the first date. With everyone.

Take the quiz here.

Thanks!: Dlisted.

Welcome to the new and improved Cherrybombed.com.

Unless this is your first time here, you might have noticed that Cherrybombed.com has had “a little work done”. Many thanks to powers of RDK for all his hard work, especially when it comes to the boss design on new site banner. Posts are now tagged so now if you read something you dig, it’s won’t be hard to find something similar you might have missed.

In the coming weeks look for more cool shit like streaming audio, more RSS options (update: new and improved RSS feed is up and running!) and partnerships with local companies like Amazon.com. We’ll also start running some ads, but they won’t drive the content of Cherrybombed.com in any way.

Anyway, I love doing this blog and I appreciate that so many of you think it’s cool too. And don’t be shy. Let me know what you think of Cherrybombed.com’s makeover by leaving a comment. There’s more cool stuff coming, so stay tuned.
