Ozzy Osbourne - “Crazy Train” (Live; After Hours; 1981)
Fucking Randy Rhoads. What’s left to say?
Jesus.

Black Sabbath - “Never Say Die” (Live; 1978)
Cf. Sloan’s “Iggy and Angus“—a loving tribute to Patrick Pentland’s formative bands.
A propos of nothing, easily one of the best live Ozzy performance I’ve ever seen.

Pop some corn, and hoist your Pope Flag.
Because, le merde is ON!

In case you’d ever wondered about the time John’s pillows turned into owls, here’s an excerpt from the March 27, 2012 episode of Roderick on the Line, Ep. 26: “Go Practice the Car”.

John Roderick on String Art Owls, Copper Pipe, and Bono’s Boss on Vimeo (The Merlin Show; Prod. Ben Durbin; 2007)
People ask about the exact origin of Roderick on the Line.
But, while the whole story of how John first ended up sleeping at our house one night in 2002 has never been told in the exhaustive detail it deserves, I can tell you that this 5-year-old video captures the first time I officially interviewed John as an actual thing.
I like it a lot, and the unintentional genesis of Roderick on the Line is clearly in there.
Alongside John’s 2011 interview for Back to Work, you’ll definitely get the feel for why we thought chatting each week might be a useful way for John to help many, many people.

I hope that when Supertrain gets here, I will be worthy. And I hope to Christ I’ll have everything I need.
This is going to help a LOT of people. Glorious!
Thank you, Bee-Dawg.

For the one hundred and thirty six (136) constituents of Generation: Supertrain™ who follow this modest web (sub-)property, maybe let’s just call this…the dead drop.
Being your artisanal, sneak-peek preview of the upcoming episode of John’s Help. Which help officially goes live tomorrow/Thursday in the early morning hours.
And, as for this one? Well. This one…is…a good one. It’s one of those episodes. And, we really hope you’ll enjoy it.
Please consider that you can help John help even more people through a variety of little missions:
