Give me Poison or give me death.
You know what I’m starting to realize? That Molly Hatchet is one deeply mysterious band. What kind of time-travelling mind fuck is going on here?! Lead singer guy leaps into the crowd to save hot chick from biker thugs. Got it. Then, just as he’s about to get his ass whupped, the mystical axe-viking from the fourth dimension shows up and facilitates his escape. In a cowardly move, he runs out of the bar, presumably abandoning the hot chick to a night of pickled eggs, chili and beer-breathed dirty love. Once outside, the axe warrior pulls up on a motorcycle, all pulsating, throbbing and manly. Lead singer guy hops on eagerly — one can only assume what’s coming next. (Hint: it ain’t a trip back to the fishbowl planet; at least, not yet.) Then, the shocker — the big time-travel, predestination, universe-is-a-moebius-strip-encircling-a-klein-bottle reveal: the sweaty, throbbing, axe-wielding warrior from the 14th dimension is… the chick in the bar!
Consider my mind blown. Einstein, Steven Hawking, Tesla… these dudes have NOTHING on Molly Hatchet.
That guitar the one guy is playing (see 1:54) looks more dangerous than any of the weapons on the album cover.
Lead guitar guy: “Hey guys, I just wrote a killer tune about the bucket of wings I just ate, it’s called “Satisfied Man.”
Singer: “It could be about sexy girls too.”
Lead guitar guy: “No, wings. It’s about wings.”
Singer: “I say sexy girls.”
Lead guitar guy: “Do I need to summon the Viking and dragon?”
SInger: “Ok, ok… sexy chicks eating wings.”
Lead guitar guy: “Man… ok.”
Also noting that the motorcycle in the video has a sissy bar. Wuss.
Funny!
Same BatChannel but a different foe:
Just took me 20 extra minutes to complete the Jumble puzzle because once I saw “MOFHAT” I couldn’t get “Wait, is this a misprint? Don’t they want ‘FOGHAT’?” out of my mind. Who could “fathom” such idiocy?

Did anyone hear Ed Ward’s piece on Bobby Charles at the end of yesterday’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross? It was an amazing little tale. As Ward suspected, I was once one of the many people who never really knew who this guy was while at the same time knew many songs he’d written. BigSteve turned me onto the man himself in the early days of RTH. I learned a lot more in the few minutes Ward spoke on the radio. I also learned that his last name is actually Guidry, which now makes me wonder if he was related to former Yankees’ great and Louisiana native Ron Guidry.
