Okay, not many pains are worse than gettin’ your nuts in a bunch…

Trivia: I worked Super Trouper arc spotlights back in my lighting crew days of the late ’70s. Those things are beasts, especially the older ones like I used. We used to leave the side door open and let the arc light gives a mean tan. I’m sure that was not healthy. 🙂

UPDATE NOTE: I printed up hard copies of this comic and sold them at the 2010 C2E2 comic convention. In the final hour of the convention, Steve Sansweet of Rancho Obi-Wan bought this comic and it is now in his HUGE Star Wars collection. Cool!

Deep Purple’s album “Who Do We Think We Are?” is another overlooked classic rock album that is full of some great stuff.  It is the last studio album with Ian Gillan and Roger Glover as part of Deep Purple for some time to come.  Besides the radio hit “My Woman From Tokyo” there are several really good songs and I think this album has a better overall sound than its predecessor “Machine Head”.  Today’s comic song also features some good old fashioned flanging back in the day when studio techs held their thumbs on the reel as it played to achieve the sound effect.  I’ve also included my favorite song off the album called “Rat Bat Blue” which is just a good fun rocker and also a GREAT tune to test out stereo systems with at Best Buy as the thing starts off quiet and then BLAM! It will part the hair of anyone within 100 feet.  Rock on.

BONUS! Rat Bat Blue
