Well, upon a little more investigation, it appears as if the "Touch" credited for performing "The Sweetest Victory" bears no relation to the Mark Mangold Touch. Evidently, there was no band named Touch, they just used that name on the soundtrack credits. Anyway, it doesn't sound at all like the Marq Torien of the Bulletboys to me. If it's him, he started out with a lot more vocal prowess than he exhibits these days. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's an interview with song writer Duane Hastings; he's asked about the "Touch" project for the movie, but doesn't really answer crap: http://www.rockunited.com/hitchings.htm You also co-wrote the excellent "The Sweetest Victory" from the Rocky IV soundtrack. What can you tell us about the "Touch" project, there wasn't any real band behind this moniker, right? Were you ever involved in anything more than providing the song for the soundtrack? Duane: NOPE!! I meant Sly – we where in the recording studio together for the movie. Great guy ! Little guy but I would not want to mess with him ! Did you know about the other TOUCH from the states? They had a minor hit in 1980 with "Don't You Know What Love Is" and featured Mark Mangold on keys. Duane: THOSE THIEVES – WHERE IS MY ATTORNEY!! Jake Hooker and I will sue the son of a guns !!! Wait a minute ----- I did not know that -- thanks Wally. LOL ! ---------------------- Seems this question has been kicking around on the 'net for years now.... interesting.

Most definitely NOT Marq Torien of the Bulletboys. The song "The Sweetest Victory" is credited to Touch over on the main site: http://www.heavyharm...CDName=Rocky+IV

LOL... indeed it is! "You know what SOBER stands for? It stands for Son Of a Bitch, Everything's Real!" Gary Busey

LMFAO..... WINNING!

From Walter: "Sheen has been officially fired from his show. Hopefully he’ll get through this difficult time with the love and support of his whores"

Jerry O'connell auditions to replace Charlie Sheen on 2.5 Men: It starts out a little slow, but from about the 1:11 mark on, I was laughing my ass off! "Look at me goddess...LOOK AT ME! <punches wall>"

Duh, winning!!!

Good ol' Charlie Brown... err... Sheen.

The Charlie Sheen soundboard: http://archive.1065....ndboard/player/ Plus a new pic of Charlie at home with Rachel Oberlin aka Bree Olson:

I think over the course of the last year or so, all of us have probably been affected by the passing of one of our musical "heroes"; be it Ronnie James Dio, Phil Kennemore, Gary Moore, or one of the countless others who have left this world way too soon... but this... this is a little different. This is one of "us"; one of our own if you will. This is a guy who bought, sold, collected & traded CDs just like we all do. This is a guy who signed in here on HH and talked about the music that he loved along with the rest of us. And most of all, Kelly was a husband and a father, just like many of us here. It really makes you think about your own mortality.. you know? Rock in Peace Kelly

More craziness from Charlie's interview this morning on NBC's Today... http://blog.zap2it.com/pop2it/2011/02/charlie-sheen-on-today-wants-3-million-an-episode-because-hes-a-fricking-rock-star-from-mars.html "I'm tired of pretending like I'm not special. I'm tired of pretending like I'm not bitching, a total fricking rock star from Mars, and people can't figure me out; they can't process me. I don't expect them to. You can't process me with a normal brain."

Excellent song, and my fave from Chasing the Grail as well!

So evidently tonight's episode is a MUST SEE. Per Ken Tucker at EW.com: Tonight’s Fringe is a do-not-miss, revelatory episode, crossing time and space and allowing us to see Olivia and Peter as children. The hour is crammed with references to previous episodes while adding a great deal of vivid detail to the series’ fundamental relationships between Walter, Olivia, Peter, and Walter’s wife, Elizabeth. I gotta say, this show has been hitting on all cylinders this season, and I'm looking forward to seeing what they throw at us tonight.

Ok, so apparently, Charlie saw that 2 and 1/2 Men show producer Chuck Lorre had taken a swipe at him on one of the "vanity cards" that shows up at the end of the shows he produces (I had no clue what these were, and still haven't bothered to look 'em up) and basically went off on the guy in the media. Long story short, production on the show has been halted, and there will be no more new episodes this season. So, how does Mr. Sheen react to that? Why, by flying off to the Bahamas with his wife (who he's separated from), his new girlfriend, and porn star Bree Olsen. While i fully expect to wake up one morning and read about Charlie being found dead of a cocaine overdose, with a pair of panties wrapped around his head and a stupid grin on his face, how much fun is this fucker having right now?
