Nuclear Cowboyz

picture it, dinosaurs lazily grazing in a hot humind swamp minding their own business when BAMM an asteriod the size of Cincinnati t-bones the earth covering the whole planet in a foot of ash and dust.
The mantle sinks the seas rushes in compressing the organic matter and over the next hundred odd million years it decays, compresses and turns to a huge sea of oil, which promptly is poked with a tube sucked dry and shipped across the world where is feed into a gas tank, sprayed into a cylinder compressed, combusted and spewed out an exhaust pipe just so we can witness a spectacle with no socially redeeming value.

And talk about socially redeeming qualities, my instragram feed Friday went something like this, a picture of Nuclear Cowboyz, a picture of Music Hall with the CSO and Lang Lang, a picture of Nuclear Cowboyz, a picture of Music Hall with the CSO and Lang Lang. For about 8 pictures.
Amazing isn't it? But every once in awhile I believe, you have to watch something that has the potential to kill you.

But the show wasn't just motorcycle tricks for two hours, oh no, it was the classic tale of The Outsiders with the Greasers vs. the Socs vs the cyborgs set in L.A. after a war with two Ws and a whole bunch of Is.
The queen of the cyborgs.

I shake my head every time I read about a Ryan Adams or Tool not allowing people to take pictures at their shows.
There's no sticking that genie back in the bottle.
Heading in a guy walked towards us holds up his camera and tells us that the Arena isn't letting people in with cameras.
HA! I'm walking in with the infamous urban photographer Gordon Bombay aka Ronnie, a couple rent a ushers aren't keeping us and our cameras out.
Interesting that once the lights went down every other person in the place whipped out a smart phone camera and they weren't afraid to use them.

oh yeah, back to the greasers vs. Socs. vs. cyborgs. The cyborgs were winning and there were only two humans left. You could feel the tension in the place. What happens if the humans lose? Do we get out alive?
Nuclear Cowboyz

no, for humanities sake the greasers and Socs decide to work together and together they defeat the cyborgs.
man, a bunch of scantily clad women is powerful motivation.

  2. When I saw the ads for this, I gotta say, it DID look kinda fun in a nuts kinda way.
    Your pics make it look way better than the ads, too. Good thing they tried to thwart picture taking.

  3. I have to say, Ronnie and I took the cheesiness and ran with it. You can't fight these things that's for sure. One caveat, the tickets were free, not sure what my enthusiasm level would have been if we dropped $30 a ticket on this.
