    Had a good friend and member of our tailgating group pass away recently ................... and I'll miss him.

    He very much loved his Bison football team, tailgating, and classic country music. So all that is left for me to do is gather up my sadness and try to bring all these things together somehow, for him, in an everlasting appreciation of his friendship.


    I'll Still Miss Someone .......................................

    If we ever get back to our tailgate
    In the fall when the cold winds come
    We'll be laughing and enjoying some football
    But I'll still miss someone

    When the tent is set up and all ready
    And it's time for a little fun
    I'll be expecting his coming arrival
    'Cause I'll still miss someone

    Oh I'll never get over that smile of his
    And the stories of war that he'd share
    And the twinkle in his eyes when we'd pour a drink
    For the toasts that he made with such care

    He always did love that black crossbones flag
    As it floated and fluttered in the sun
    We'll still raise it each game with the rest of them
    But I'll still miss someone

    It's so hard to forget those shots of insulin
    That he'd take before he'd eat or drink
    All the things he had to do just to be there
    Makes a healthy man like me stop and think

    Oh I'll never forget his sheer gratefulness
    Every time that our tailgate was done
    But in the end it is I with great thankfulness
    'Cause I'll still miss someone

    Wow, these guys are really working hard to get back into the good graces of Thunderstruck Makers! Man, if we had tailgating right now, I bet the chances of us getting them in here for a live West Lot performance would be even BETTER than those same chances ever were in the first place when we seemingly never had a chance.

    AC/DC Earns Their 1st Number One Single on the Mainstream Rock Chart in 12 Years with "Shot In The Dark" ............. https://www.billboard.com/articles/b...-1-in-12-years
    And THEN they unleashed another single, before tomorrow's new album release of "Power Up" ............................... (sorry, no references to Rolling Thunder Trucks in this song, dammit)




    You know, somebody really should get their butt out of bed, take off their 'Rona mask, put the crack pipe down, get some pants (and underwear) on, and go to work on this!!

    My Dear Deluded ThM Members,

    As you can only imagine, a world tailgating heavyweight and swanky social season A-lister like me, gets quite a few perks and benefits over your average mullet-headed General Admission tailgater, or, for that matter, even your whine and cheese Reserved tailgater that bought their way into the West Lot with Mommy and Daddy's money and priority points (we still love'm though!).

    So, yes, when AC/DC comes out with their first new album in 6 long years, it should come as no surprise to anyone that the really important people like me (other people's words, not mine) find themselves on AC/DC's exclusive VIP "First To Receive" list. Even among the acrimony and vitriol at times between me and our dear, dear "Boys" (sob, sniffle) over their inexplicable and indefensible failure to appear for a Live Intro and Meet 'n Greet (dammit those guys!), it is still quite touching to receive such a sincere, personal note of appreciation that was cleverly and tenderly hidden within the packaging of my commemorative, rush-shipped copy of their latest classic work.

    Heart to heart, legend to legend, compadres, comrades, confidantes, co-dependents. A private glimpse into one special relationship for the ages, for no one else's eyes to see or share .............................................


    EXCEPT THAT ...... HERE IT IS! Read it and weep, all you naysayers. Put your eyes to words and set your hearts afire, and never, ever, EVER doubt the clout of Thunderstruck Makers again.

    The Thanksgiving Story (According To Thunderstruck Makers)


    My Dear, Sweet, Impressionable Young ThM Children,
    Gather 'round your Uncle Loaf now, all while remembering to sit still and shut the hell up, as I tell the true Thanksgiving Story of Thunderstruck Makers ................................


    Once upon a time, in the very early beginning, the original clan of what we now know as Thunderstruck Makers, were then known as Pissgrins, and came to this new land on a really gnarly boat that they hijacked called The Deflower.

    They came to this land because they were constantly persecuted for their stunning good looks, their outstanding intelligence, their love of power football, their propensity to play rock & roll music way too loud at all hours of the day, and their endless consumption of mass quantities of alcohol. Indeed, they had invented the religion of "tailgating" as the world now knows it, but none of the dumbshits in their own land would let them practice this newfound religion in the way they wanted to, or the way it was meant to be - which obviously, duh, was all out, full speed, all the time. So, after a few choice obscenities (and some minor acts of vandalism) that were directed at their persecutors, the Pissgrins stormed off in a huff in search of a new land - and life - in which they could freely become the greatly admired people that they are today. (Excuse me a minute, kids, while I wipe away these darn tears of mine.)

    Lo and behold, our heroes finally landed in the new land, as was pre-ordained, upon the now famous landmark of "Classic Rock" and were greeted by the various native peoples of that place, called Bizons, Acca Daccas, and Boozers. The Pissgrins were very hungry after their long trip, so were immediately fed by their new friends, a feast that included multiple helpings of winning football, unlimited refills of the sweet nectar of the native Copper Still plant, and an enchanting song of thanksgiving (including a very seductive bikini dance from a chorus line that included shaking native pom-poms) called 'Thunderstruck' performed by the native Acca Daccas - one of which wore some really odd looking short pants. This, dear children, is the feast that we still celebrate today. (Hey you! Sit down, dammit! Don't make me come back there!)

    Well, the Pissgrins were so impressed with their new world that they immediately changed their name to 'Thunderstruck Makers' and elected a wise, benevolent, lifetime leader by the name of W. Bradford Loaf, who ended up writing a set of sacred rules for the new Thunderstruck Makers clan. These rules, known as the Deflowering Compact, became the lifeblood of Thunderstruck Makers, and continue to be so to this very day. This magical document provides for, among other things, the perpetual leadership of the group within the bloodline of Bradford Loaf's progeny, the partaking of the Copper Still plant at least once a week during football season, and the playing of 'Thunderstruck' during all major life events - with NO exceptions. It also strictly forbids rap, disco, or Manilow music, passing the football more than once a half, or having an empty booze cup for more than two minutes while practicing our tailgating religion.

    Anyway, blah, blah blah, the story goes on and on, but you damn kids are getting antsy and my patience is running dangerously thin right now, so just know that those gathered at this historic feast finally said 'Amen' for their great blessings, and the peoples of this new land lived in peace and harmony for the rest of their days.

    Well ............... not quite.

    Unfortunately, to gain complete control and dominion over their beloved new land (subsequently named 'The West Lot'), the Thunderstruckers ended up waging total nuclear war on other bastard native peoples of the new land called 'Dome Nazi's', 'Knitters', and 'Milk Drinkers" in which a long, hard victory was ultimately secured after much death and destruction ............... but that is a very bloody and gory tale best left for another time.

    (Oh yeah, NOW you pay attention. )

    The End.

    A lot of great stuff in this interview, straight from the mouth of Angus himself........................................... . https://www.vulture.com/2020/12/inte...-power-up.html

    Among them:

    #1 AC/DC Song: "For whole song - Thunderstruck. For guitar riff - Riff Raff"
    Song That Reminds You Most Of Malcolm: "Well actually it's an entire album - Let There Be Rock, but on that album, the song would be Whole Lotta Rosie."
    Song Whose Meaning Has Changed the Most for You: "Highway to Hell. The actual song was a road song, that's what it was originally meant to be."
    Song You Would Play To a Brand New AC/DC Listener: "Back in Black. It just rocks. That is what AC/DC is all about."
    Unlikeliest AC/DC Fan: "Somebody told us there is a monastery up in Tibet that is loaded with AC/DC fans."


    Interview outtake on hard to find bootleg recording:

    Person You Love To Hate: "Oh definitely Bison Loaf back in the States. Fargo, I think. Wants us up there for some festival or something. Calls his organization 'Thunderstruck Makers', of which we have multiple ongoing lawsuits over. That wonker can be a real pain in my arse, ya know. We came to blows once in fact, but nothing came of it, because he's a real pussy when you get right down to it. We've played Fargo before and it's damn cold up there, so that may explain a lot of it with him. But the people up there love to drink, they love their American football, and they love our music. You just can't help but love fans like that, so we tolerate Loaf. And, who knows, once the legal issues are resolved, we just may show up there one day."

    Damn! 2020 has been a long, tough year. But that doesn't mean we can't hike up our skirts, put on our big boy pants, and dream about all the great things to come!

    Merry Christmas, Thunderstruckers!


    'Twas The Hour Before Meet 'n Greet

    'Twas the hour before Meet 'n Greet, when all through the Lot,
    Not a person was sober, and I kid you not;
    Our flags were all flying, our grills were not bare,
    In hopes that AC/DC would FINALLY be there!
    The guests had broad smiles and were having a great time;
    Even the small bladder schmucks in the long potty line;
    Hot mommas in their skinny jeans, and I, school-boy shorts,
    Had just settled on a time to get acquainted, of sorts ,
    When out in the Lot there arose such a clatter,
    I spilled some of my drink (dammit!) to see what the hell was going on out there! (Who can rhyme at a time like that?!)
    So away from those ladies I flew for a look,
    Anticipation was rising with each step I took.
    But I fell on my ass from the new-fallen snow,
    Spewing words so obscene - a new personal low,
    When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
    But Five Righteous Rockers sippin' Australian beer!
    With a little lead guitarist so lively and cool,
    I knew it was THEM, so I started to drool.
    So much larger than life did they seem when they came,
    That I giggled like a schoolgirl when I called them by name:
    "Oye Angus! Aye Brian! Hey Cliff and Phil too!,
    Feared you guys weren't coming, make me look like a fool!
    And Stevie, come here, let me pat that fine back
    Of the man who's the "glue" now on each rockin' track."
    The formalities finished and my praises well sung,
    Time to do what they came for, while the tailgate was still young!
    So up to the big stage their old knees did creek,
    While the crowd full of doubters seemed to suddenly freak!
    "Holy crap! Dumbass Loaf really DID it, I guess!
    "Yeah, but don't be so sure he won't screw it up YET!"
    As I was jotting those names who would feel my wrath later,
    Came the first power chords through the amp regulator.
    The sound was GINORMOUS, butts puckered a little
    I myself passed out cold, numb lips oozing out spittle.
    When they finally revived me, what I heard and I saw,
    Was pure Rock incarnate, and it filled me with awe!
    One was dressed as a schoolboy from his head to his toe
    Though he walked like a duck, he could put on a show!
    And the singer, that voice, as it growled and it whined
    Sounded like Thunder, chills crawled up my spine!
    I was basking in my glory, realizing my life's vision
    When I spotted some bastard from General Admission! (Son..of..a......BITCH, how did he get in here!!!!)
    He was icky and scary, sporting a mullet top shelf,
    And I barfed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
    So with a wink and a whistle I summoned the law
    And they beat the dude senseless, what little I saw.
    My good work complete now, our world back in balance,
    I filled up my drink and enjoyed all this talent,
    The show was so bitchin, it ran overtime
    So we missed the Game Intro, for the LIVE ONE outside! (Is that cool, or WHAT!)
    Then withdrawing a finger from inside my nose,
    I nodded my approval for the event to now close.
    Our boys didn't wave, didn't bow, didn't smile,
    They just walked off badass, more befitting their style
    But I heard them exclaim, as they left out the rear —
    “Happy Tailgate to all, and we'll see you next year!”
