Early Birthday Present!

Can anyone say enough good things about Bud Buckley? Hell no! He's just too nice a guy and it is impossible to tout his virtues any more than most everyone already has before. Maybe one day some disgruntled former student will come on out and piss in the Bud Buckley pool, but I doubt it will happen any time soon.

I have to thank Bud for taking the time to record not one, but two unique and entertaining versions of "Louie Louie", in response to my half-serious/half-joking birthday wish list. To say the least, Bud really put some thought and effort into making that stupid song seem considerably less stupid. In fact...it quite possibly counts as actual music when Bud plays it.

That being said, his more artistic recording of the song pales in comparison to his bizarre, pseudo-German, oddly translated, and heavy bass vocal performance of the song.

Of the two versions he sent my way, one was done by "Bud Buckley". The other, by "Arnold". I was intrigued and eager to listen to both. I patiently sat through the Buckley version and enjoyed his interpretation very much. Then, "Arnold" took to the mike and I almost died from laughing so much.

No matter which Bud Buckley I was listening to, it was a most generous and thoughtful gift that made my whole day much better.

If you'd like to check out what Bud & wife have been up of late, check out Bitchitude & Corporate Crap to see some great Penguini Posse pics (which I'll be stealing and posting in their own section here shortly). Don't forget to read Bud's always entertaining blog.

Thanks, Bud. That was GREAT!
