Update Coming Soon...I Promise....

Its been a long time since i sat down and wrote a blog....an actual, honest to goodness blog...i've been a VERY busy Old Man Robb whom is going through some changes...(Great Black Sabbath tune!) When the dust is settled and things are just where i want them to be, then i shall update the ol Robbblog and have a state of the union address so to speak... until then have a good one Bloogeronies!

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."- Theodore Roosevelt

Bob Probert RIP

It took a few days to sink into this one...i guess we take life for granted and think we indestructable sometimes.. some of us fight demons whether it be booze, drugs or what have you and sometimes we overcome these things and get on with life, we find something to strive for, a goal so to speak... Bob Probert fought many demons in his lifetime, like me we both lost a Father at a fairly young age. Mr Probert became known to me in my teens as the guy who protected Stevie Y and the rest of the Red Wings along with Joey Kocur. Kocur and Probie became known as The Bruse Brothers and well shook fear into the rest of the NHL.

Oldtimers like to tell me about people having the "Flyers Flu" before facing Philedelphia...i wonder what they had before facing the Red Wings in the mid 80s to 90s? Probert's fights lived on in the first wave of Don Cherry's Rock em Sock em videos that me and friends used to watch and wear out on VHS along with various homemade fight compilations...bouts with Craig Coxe, Domi, the marathon with McSorely, Troy Crowder...lots of scraps...i remember seeing Probie knock out Dave Semenko and i thought...who the hell has ever done that?!?!?!!?

Probert also had a good heart..made alot of donations to charity, visited the troops overseas and participated in fund raisers such as NHL Oldtimers and golf tournaments, one of my regrets is that i did not get up to see him play for the Oldtimers when they came in Hfx in Jan/Feb...Probert showed that you can rise above your mistakes and become a better person in this life, a complete family man and a class act...RIP Mr Probert and thank you for the memories...

Pat Boone Paradise City

Believe it or not bloggeronies Mr White Bread himself Pat Boone did a cover album of classic metal songs in 1997...and also believe it or not the thing reached #125 on the Billboard Album charts due to people having a geeky curiousity to hear this monstrosity...yes classics by GnR, Dio, Van Halen, AC/DC, Alice Cooper and others was butchered by Mr Boone in a jazz/big band style...imagine all the Holy Rollers that love Boone when this thing came out? Pat Boone embracing the dark side? Well i must admit its now a tie between Dee Dee King, Mike Love and Pat Boone for Worst Frickin Album Old Man Robb Had The Damn Displeasure of Listening To....and that is saying something!!!
