Happy Thursday my Dingleberries..
Today I had this fabulous idea I would Google "Easter monkey" Yes of course.. . Why wouldn't I? Of course I expect to find monkeys all dressed up for Easter or something of that nature. Guess what? I did find that and you aren't going to get our of here without seeing it.. Or something like it anyway! Of course!
OMIGAWD look how cute it is!!! Why is it I never come up with these super cute ideas? It's monkey shit I tell ya!
But this isn't the monkey for this weeks Monkey Butt post. Oh no no no, while Googling I was able to find more than just this adorable little fella!! Yepparooni!
"EASTER MONKEYS: A Legendary Cleveland Band that took the path less traveled"
An interesting article found
HERE.
Now I come right out of the 80's and never heard of these guys growing up. Guess that's expected. I'm sure there were a lot of things I missed in the 80's and 90's growing up. You know Barbies and New Kids on The Block are far more interesting.
Turns out, if I'm reading this right, they never released their record. They never got their album played on the radio. They did play a few gigs from what I'm reading and people loved them.
Wonder why they never went big ... ger than they did?
"They were so powerful that I felt hypnotized when I saw them," says Jim Lanza, who hosted a radio show in the 1980s on WCSB FM/89.3. "I'd never seen anything like them before -- and I haven't seen anything like them since."
I'm going to invest some time at some point to take a listen to some of their music. I saw a few post of it on the you tube Again, work gets all up in my way of doing all of my interwebbing!
Happy Thursday Dingleberries!!
-Hang in there!
