Ronnie James Dio 6. Rob Halford 7. Alice Cooper 8. James Hetfield 9. Ozzy Ozbourne 10. Lemmy Kilmister Feel free to remind me of others. (LC)

Dorkin' with Duff McKagan

In case you didn't know this, the tall dude in the pic played bass on the greatest Hard Rock album ever made. His autobiography recently came out, It's So Easy, and he spoke at Powell's Books for a short while then answered a few questions, mostly stupid (like what do you think of "Chinese Democracy"?... C'mon.)

(My co-worker bro Justin Drabek, is the other short hairy dude.)

He gave a great answer to another stupid question. Question: What advice do you have for starving artists in Portland looking for inspiration? Answer: It's about telling the truth, right?

Duff seems really cool, and in touch with today's great rock bands. He loves Ghost and Red Fang. Me too! He's 10x cooler than Dave Mustaine. Mustaine just sat at a table and signed books. No pictures allowed. Duff's book was 10 bucks cheaper than Mustaine's, too. McKagan>Mustaine. (LC)

Good taste

Our neighbor across the street LOVES classic rock. How do I know? On warm nights he blares his radio really loud and sings along. Now playing: Heart-Barracuda. I've thought about going over and seeing if he wants to hang out, but I think he's a drug dealer. Not that there's anything wrong being a drug dealer, I just don't want his friends stealing my stuff.
