There is only one dude I know of that could have starred in “Dirty Dance” and still be considered a tough guy.. Patrick Swayze.
He was the Cooler in Roadhouse and killed an foe with a neck breaking kick.
News is that he passed away today after a long fight with pancreatic cancer.
HERE is the story

My X Box 360 has already been repaired by Microsoft once under warranty but now it’s dead and I’m trying to decide if it’s time to make the switch. Rather than spend $90 fixing a Red Ring of Death XBox 360, the PS3 price drop has me thinking about making the move to the PS3. Suggestions? Comments?

Unwigged & Unplugged LIVE from the House of Blues Houston
I wasn’t that big of a Spinal Tap fan but knowing that Christoper Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer were awesome entertainers, I went to see the Spinal Tap: Unwigged & Unplugged concert in Houston.
WOW! What a show.
Those guys shot up to the top of my favorite concert list. On the way home from the show, I called a friend from the Country Music Hall of Fame, Mike Manning and told him that if he didn’t go see Spinal Tap in Nashville, I would beat him senseless! He went and agreed with me that this was a MUST see concert.
Didn’t get to see the show? NOW YOU CAN. Spinal Tap has released a DVD of the show and it’s on $13.99 on AMAZON!
BUY THIS! You won’t be disappointed. It includes songs from Spinal Tap, A Mighty Wind and other Christopher Guest films.
