  1. Hey.....that brought back nostalgic feelings, so I went to dig up my old Vinyl.
    AC/DC "Fly on the Wall"... What a Great afternoon listening to these oldies!
    Yeah, the 80s were awesome... Head-banging, drinking beer & Toking.... Not really a clue what the song was about then, but now I understand.
    Here is a link to the rare uncut Music Video........ Rock on Tofino!

    This AC/DC Music Video is from 1985 and nearly 30 years later Not much has changed with the PRESS.

    Today... Government Officials are openly rubbing shoulders with the PRESS on Social Media.
    They do this on their "Personal" and also "Government Position" Social Media pages with Reporters, News readers, Publishers and local Newspaper Editors.
    Even when the Media misrepresents the words of the Public...
    Government Officials then proceed to Shamelessly in the open "Thank the PRESS" on Social Media for their reporting on this Particular Issue.

    Song Meaning: AC/DC "Fly on the Wall..."
    The Press gets thrown out with the rest of the trash.
    The MC is Decadent Dan!
    The Menu is Burgers, Burgers, Burgers...
    The BARTENDER puts in earplugs when the band starts playing....
    He only listens to what the Newspaper says about the Band and totally misses the message that AC/DC is trying to get across.
    Then he serves the wrong drinks to the Public as He doesn't Properly Listen.


    *LYRICS: for AC/DC - Fly on the Wall...
    You can dance through the night
    Rock roll music itchin' to fight
    Makin' love drunk or stoned
    Lookin' for dollars get broken-boned
    It's a game too tough to tame
    Ends up the same, sweatin' out the rain
    (Chorus)
    I was trapped like a FLY ON THE WALL
    I was caged like a zoo animal
    No escape from the fate that you make
    You're a snake, I've had all I can take
    So watch out, there's a FLY ON THE WALL
    Take a chance take a bite
    Rock roll devil take me tonight
    Like a bitch makin' heat
    Beatin' on my chest, lickin' at my feet
    It's a game too tough to tame
    Ending up the same, sweatin' out the rain
    So watch out there's a FLY ON THE WALL
    [REPEAT CHORUS 2x]

  4. We all know that you cannot Criticize someone and then expect them to properly work with you. (Junction Visitor Info Centre)
    New...
    Port Alberni is now working together with Tofino!!
    They will add a "Tofino" section in their Alberni Visitor Info Centre.... Great News!


    On February 8th the Mayor announces on Facebook that She invited the Port Alberni Port Authority (PAPA) to inform Council on the proposed Port Alberni Trans-shipment Hub (PATH) project in the Alberni Inlet.

    I was 1 of the few people at this Council meeting (Feb.11) with the PAPA presentation.
    I noticed right away the Executive Director of the Tofino Long Beach Chamber of Commerce.
    I quickly checked my iPhone for the Mayors Facebook post and to my Relief it states "the public cannot ask questions of our delegates during a Council meeting".
    That made me breathe easier....

    PAPA gave a good informative presentation and it looks like this PATH Project will provide tons of jobs and stimulate our Vancouver Island Economy.
    Unfortunately Baert felt the need to Voice her critical opinion about the transport of coal.
    In my opinion.... The next time you invite our Neighbor over for a presentation...
    Mayor and Council should get together after the Council meeting and discuss the possibilities of writing a letter with their concerns instead of immediately criticizing our Guest at the presentation.

  5. A coal port or natural gas facility would provide a lot of jobs in Port Alberni.Be nice to limit the amount of raw logs shipped overseas.

  6. STAND UP

    I've been doing a lot of Head-Banging in the last few days, sure feel it in my neck.
    Another great song from the classic "Fly on the Wall" Album... "Stand Up"

    http://youtu.be/l_lEqxF771Y

    Song Meaning: AC/DC "Stand Up..."
    The message about the Press does not change.... Out with the rest of the Trash!
    The Public is starting to get the Band and are Rocking the Floor.
    MC "Decadent Dan" is getting slapped in the face left and right.
    The Bartender is still wearing his earplugs and only listens to the Newspapers opinion.
    The FLY tries a bite of the BURGER being served, but it's to Hot to handle!
    The PUBLIC makes great effort to look Sharp..... BUT now the WAITER, who is also Not paying attention, slaps a full tray of drinks into the chest of the Public !!
    to top it of...the Bartender throws a wet dirty towel...
    Ruining the Public's Appearance and Reputation.
    STAND UP


    *LYRICS: for AC/DC - "STAND UP" (Fly on the Wall)
    Put on the headset, get on the stage
    Out on a midnight ... escapade
    Didn't want to steal your Thunder
    Wouldn't want to play your game
    Making all the headlines
    Getting on the front page
    Didn't even know her number
    I didn't even know her name

    CHORUS:
    Stand up, stand up and Take it
    Stand up, stand up and Make it
    Stand up, stand up and Face it
    Stand up...

    Get on the red dress, slip on the lace
    Up for a high heel and a pretty face
    Woman wanna get you under
    Woman wanna get you tame
    Lovin' on a hot night
    Stokin' up the flame
    Didn't wanna know her number
    I didn't wanna know her name

    Repeat chorus
    (You can make it!)

  7. BON SCOTT
    July 9, 1946 ~ February 19, 1980

    LET THERE BE ROCK !
    Playing pre-1980s AC/DC today to Commemorate Rock Legend "Bon Scott"
    The original AC/DC Singer set the Rock'n'Roll standards High in the early 70s.
    Bon Scott was rated as number 1 in the list of "100 Greatest Frontmen Of All Time" ahead of Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant in the 2004 issue of Classic Rock.
    Mr. Scott.... For those about to Rock We Salute You!

    LET THERE BE ROCK ! - 1977 AC/DC
    In the beginning
    Back in nineteen fifty-five
    Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show
    And all that jive
    The white man had the smoltz
    The black man had the blues
    No one knew what they was gonna do
    But Tchaikovsky had the news
    He said -

    Let there be sound
    there was sound
    Let there be light
    there was light
    Let there be drums
    there was drums
    Let there be guitar
    there was guitar
    Oh,Let there be rock

    And it came to pass
    That rock 'n' roll was born
    All across the land every rockin' band
    Was blowing up a storm
    And the guitarman got famous
    The businessman got rich
    And in every bar there was a super star
    With a seven year itch
    There were fifteen million fingers
    Learning how to play
    And you could hear the fingers picking
    And this is what they had to say
    Let there be light
    Sound
    Drums
    Guitar
    Let there be rock

    One night in a club called 'The Shaking Hand'
    There was a ninety-2 decibel rocking band
    And the music was good and the music was loud
    And the singer turned and he said to the crowd -
    LET THERE BE ROCK
