SKETCH-OF-THE-DAY 002


One of my favorite XM Radio stations is "Hair Nation" - they play nuthin' but hair metal from the glory days of the 80's - everything from Kix and Krokus to GNR and Skid Row.  And most mornings I get up with my daughter and we eat breakfast and listen to sweet, sweet cheesy hair metal.  Today, I turned it on and the first song I heard was Winger's "Madalaine".  And in that song, sexy Kip sings this line: "All your glory was left like and angry child - waiting to take your luck away" - which conjured up a fun visual.  

Years after the Hair Metal heyday, Kip (promoting his solo album) played a live acoustic show at a bookstore here in Columbus - and despite my expectations, it was quite cool - Mr. Winger was really funny and humble and his music sounded great trimmed down to just him and a guitar.  By the way, acoustic "Madalaine" = awesome.  I'm not being sarcastic - it was F'n sweet!
