    Other Side Of Maleficent

    I have been looking forward to Maleficent with equal amounts of anticipation and dread. On one hand, she is easily my favorite Disney villain, so cold and so pure, and I want desperately to see more of her and her back-story. On the other hand, she is easily my favorite Disney villain, and I would hate to see her parodied, taken lightly or ultimately destroyed in a film that does not understand this great character. The good news is that this film almost gets it right; but that is also the bad news.

    Renegades of Animation: Pat Sullivan

    Pat Sullivan became famous worldwide for his creation of Felix the Cat. What most animation histories gloss over is Sullivan’s checkered past and longtime standing as a wildcat renegade. He didn’t follow the rules. And he made damn sure to fully protect his intellectual properties.

    On October 6, Eddie Van Halen died of throat cancer at age 65.

    An active member of Van Halen ever since the band was formed in 1974, he played amazingly fast guitar riffs that made him an icon. He also played guitar on the Michael Jackson classic "Beat It." He remained with the band after frontman David Lee Roth left and was replaced by Sammy Hagar, and later, Gary Cherone of Extreme.

    RIP, Eddie. Rock on in heaven. :(

    I, too, liked the David Lee Roth era lineup more,, although there were a couple of good songs from the Sammy Hagar era - particularly "When It's Love" and "Feels So Good", both of which were from the album "OU812" in the late 1980s. I do believe that "Finish What Ya Started", released early in 1989, was perhaps a case of experimenting with a new style of sound, drifting away from hard rock. That experiment flopped, although it did do a lot better chartwise than its follow-up, "Feels So Good" - "Finish What Ya Started" managed to peak at #13 early in 1989.

    I think Van Halen went downhill after Sammy Hagar took over. And Gary Sherone taking over was the final nail to the coffin for the band.

    What Phil Collins was to Genesis, David Lee Roth was to Van Halen.

    With Eddie Money and Ric Ocasek having passed a year ago, Eddie Van Halen's death is perhaps part of a trend that many of the recording acts who were popular in the 1980s, may pass away at some point this decade. By the end of this decade, we may be lucky to see Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, and many of the New Kids on the Block as some of the only remaining 1980s recording acts still with us. (many of them will be close to 60 by that point).

    My local classic rock radio station, K-ROCK, played a Van Halen song on the top of every hour as a tribute just after the news of his passing.
