Regular readers of The Worley Gig know that we are not only rabid and unashamed meat eaters over here but we are also very pro-Bacon! Having previously blogged about Bacon Flavored Dental Floss, Chocolate-covered Bacon and uber-tasty Bacon Cinnamon Rolls, it only follows that we would continue to celebrate Bacon’s awesomeness by turning fellow bacon-lovers on to this very cute and cuddly Bacon Plush Toy, Shaky Bacon, available for purchase from Plastic and Plush Toys! I love the angry look on his face! So adorable, so delicious.

Mickey Leigh, Brother of Joey Ramone, Speaks Out On Where The Ramones Stand Politically
STATEMENT FROM MICKEY LEIGH:
(November 2, 2008) “It has been brought to my attention that Linda Cummings (Johnny Ramone’s widow), using the name “Ramone,” has recently been in the media joining with the Palin family and the McCains to attempt to aid their campaign for the Presidency. As a President of Ramones Productions, and brother of Joey Ramone, I just want it to be clear that Linda Cummings does not represent the political views of the Ramones. Surely, as for Joey Ramone, the only Ramones song he would sing at a Republican campaign event would be ‘Glad To See You Go!’
“I should add that when Johnny stated ‘God Bless George Bush’ at the 2002 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame awards, I realize now that he was on to something. Because if it were not for George Bush and his handling of our country the past 8 years, I doubt so many Americans, including so many highly regarded Republicans, would now be getting behind Barack Obama. So, yes, God bless George Bush for paving the way to Obama.”

Rock Star Quote of the Week: Josh Garza of Secret Machines
Drummer, Josh Garza
“I have this theory: you know that Guitar Hero or Guitar Band game? I wish those had come out fifteen years ago, because it would have kept a lot of these fucking dipshits from being in bands. They would have just gotten off playing Guitar Hero or Guitar Band and they would have left music to the musicians. Damn! Because there are a lot of kids that can kind of play, they can kind of write songs and they can kind of . . . fuck that man! I don’t do this because I “kind of can do it,” I do it because I live it and I breath it and I love it. I don’t really even get paid that much to do it but even if they weren’t paying me – I’d still do it. A lot of these cats can’t do it and, all right that’s cool. I’m not going to hold that against them. I’m not going to be that cynical bastard, but I just know what the score is. So, don’t player hate me, just stay out of my way (laughs).”
