We Ask Legends of the music industry a one word question & they give their one word response !
John Rich (born January 7, 1974) is an American New-Country singer-songwriter. Member of the novelty-act Big & Rich who scored a new country hit "Save a horse,ride a cowboy"
Sidenote: This twerp once cornered Shifty in a dressing room at a country fest to "kick his racist ass". It stemmed from a drunken night in NYC after Atlantic Records reps took us all to dinner and little dummy here decided a crew member of Shifty's touring act was a Nazi for having certain tattoos.
( P.S. John called his road crew into that dressing room to help him fight Shifty and they laughed John off saying "ahh man John Shifty's a good dude we're not doing that!" )
IGHTRT90'S MAGAZINE We interviewed the Absolute clown John Rich.
IGHTRT90'S: "Dumbfuck?"
TWERP RICH: "Me?"
IGHTRT90'S: "That's the only smart thing you've ever said! Now go be a sad little asshole."
MAIK THE CAT: "Who is this mental midget?"
IGHTRT90'S: "No one maik, no one."
Gaffer tape is a A heavy cotton cloth tape with a strong adhesive and tensile properties. It's also known as gaffer's tape, gaff tape, or spike tape. Gaffer tape is flexible, non-reflective, low-gloss, and has no-residue adhesive. It's designed to be removed without leaving a residue, unlike duct tape, which leaves a sticky residue when removed.
Ross Lowell, a cinematographer, director, and founder of Lowel-Light, invented gaffer tape in 1959. Lowell created gaffer tape by combining Johnson & Johnson's Permacel duct tape with a silver fabric backing. He invented it to mount lighting units in the former home of Charles Lindbergh, which had been converted into a juvenile rehabilitation center, without interfering with the center's daily operations.
A Front of House audio engineer is a position that evolved from the days of theater at the turn of the century. Up until the early 20th century theaters were designed with acoustics in mind, the actors and singers could talk and sing "To the last row" without any aid of modern speakers or microphones. That changed with the intro of the "Public Address" system or "P.A."
As concerts grew in size so did the P.A. systems. This necessitated the need to add more and more microphones to capture the performance. To properly control these massive,and sometimes unruly systems the "sound engineer" controlling them needed to hear what the audience was hearing. This meant they would be placed in front of the stage in the midst of the crowd.
Contrary to popular belief Audio Engineers are still human beings. So much like all the rest of you squares we need to stay hydrated. A problem arose "I need to drink something while I mix the show but I can't keep walking through the crowd to get a drink backstage." So they began to bring out various drinks to the foh mix position.
Many folks contributed the mayhem of the Rolling Stones Altamont Speedway concert on the Hell's Angels BUT it was actually sparked by a total sound system failure of the p.a. after "Thomas 'KaBoom' Martin" spilled an entire can of TAB cola on his mixing console!
Not only did the Grateful Dead and their production staff give birth to the modern P.A. they also gave us a fail-safe solution to catastrophic mixing console failure due to liquid introductions! Enter our hero & FoH engineer Clarence 'ILTBA' Popick. After brainstorming and trial and error using donuts, a Birkenstock sandal & an even larger sized cup to hold his drinks securely near his mixer he had spied a solitary new roll of 3" Gaffer's Tape. He thought "Wow man,like what if my can of beer fit in the hole in the middle of that roll of like tape man?" You guessed it! It fit perfectly and with the added width and height of the tape roll itself it seems to stay firmly in place, even when The Dead played a Chuck Berry song out of tune for 30 minutes straight! As a longtime FoH guy I salute you Clarence! Your legacy lives on!

Dumplings:
Pinch and roll small balls of uncooked biscuits and drop in boiling soup
(I reduce to a medium boil while adding the dumplings so they don't dissolve completely)
Cook until the dumplings float to the top of the pot.
Salt and pepper the dumpling layer on top and continue to cook on a medium heat.
The dumplings will thicken the soup.
Taste dumplings, once they no longer taste raw you're done!
