> [@BeanCounter](#): > > He also stated that true rock-and-roll essentially ended for him around 1984. LIFE ended for Alex after Ed died. He gave up. And with all the back and neck issues, pain and heavy medication turned him into a different person. With Eddie gone he had no direction in music (or in life but the PAST!). He glosses over the FACT that DLR LEFT THEM HIGH AND DRY! Just QUIT like a poosie. (Ed needed focus, Ed wasn’t a Front man) Awesome creative force with his guitars TRUTH but all he wanted to do was create music and play live. Dave on the other hand wanted to get away from their style of music, Sammy provided SOLID Guitar, Great Lyrics and a steady stage presence that Ed and Michael needed and deserve and Alex just couldn’t accept him for the RED ROCKER he was. SHAME. Great riffs and solos and a singer who could also play an instrument, work the crowds, run interviews and create a sound that is forever.–Thanks for nothing Dave! (POS) As you can tell it wasn’t ALL ABOUT YOU sir!. Sammy gave him direction, brought TRUE professionalism to the Band and they BECAME FRIENDS! that is why they EXPLODED back on the scene. Alex didn’t like ANYBODY getting that close to Ed again. Stuck in the past even his bitterness @ his Brothers death and the death of VH (for a short time) made him feel justified at lashing out @ Sammy that turned his Fans against him. NOT mentioning Hagar AT ALL in his stupid little Memoir PROVED to the fans he glorified the past (not accurately but decided to SPIN their history) When Eddie went into the Rabbit Hole with drugs N alcohol where the hell was Alex? Dave was long gone and then the Wolves descended on them and tore them apart forever. (Hagar) whose been a FORCE on the music scene since 'MONTROSE" was just the thing to propel them back into the public eye. There should be no recrimination against Sammy ---

Still watching the world’s largest fireworks display ever! What shock & awe must have been like. (Without the death of course.) As the president would say… Nobody’s ever seen anything like it! 37 minutes in…still going full throttle! 851,000 fireworks. ---

Pretty good around here. Friday night went to the next village over and they always put on a good show. They dont even have a restaurant or a store but they have fireworks. Im glad DC’s show was postponed. A neighbor about a half mile down put on a hell of a show. I swear he mortgaged his house. For the first 20 minutes nothing but non stop mortars going off. Then his neighbor, the fire chief, got into it with mortars. Then they did another 10 minutes of “talking guns” Then listened to trump and watched that great show from DC. Great weekend ---

> [@Joel106](#): > > I swear he mortgaged his house. WE must be neighbors Bruh! My neighbor’s contribution to the 4th was a (2) hour non-stop Mortar and light show. After the first hour though my PTS acted up and I shut my windows for a bit. I never liked that ‘Thumping’ of the mortars ( they always make me look up still to this day) With the racket America made last night I can only hope a lot of the Trump ‘Corrections’ were made last night under the distraction and JOY the Fireworks brought—seems a good time was had by most. Happy 5th Gunner’s, we now start the next 250 years! See you on the others side when the 500th rolls around!----what? could happen. 🧨 ---

> [@Don102](#): > > See you on the others side when the 500th rolls around!- Over coffee, I mentioned to the wife my grandson would be about my age when the nation celebrates #America300 🇺🇸 I thought Trump’s speech was subdued compared to his previous ones. I love though that communists are now openly called out. We’re at war. ---

It was good that he did go easy on the speech. It was delayed and the communists are saying it was all about him and not the 250th. Yeah, I won’t see 300. Seen 200 and now 250. That’s enough. Weird thinking that my daughter might see 300, and she would be in her mid 60’s… ---

Just wanna let everyone know my family and I made it safely to and home from the reading of the Declaration of Independence in Boston. We had a great time.
