Me & Bruce D.

Before we bid farewell to all things Iron Maiden, I want to include this last bit. Note the stylish late-80s hair.



This is your humble narrator circa fall of 1988 – about a year before he started listening to Maiden. Now here is Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of the band.



I suppose I was fated to be a Maiden fan, having the same haircut as their singer. Also note that really cool t-shirt I have on...

I've signed us up for an access hour on WORT for a show I'd like to call " Talkin' Maiden". We would take calls, play rarities like their cover of " Cross Eyed Mary" (which isn't as good as you'd think),and generally talk Maiden.

Also Suicide Girls in Maiden Shirts, You got your chocolate in my peanut butter !

Herr Stanton - I'll ponder the setlist tonight. Can we have a WWII fighter pilot fugue with "Aces High" and "Tailgunner"?

The D can shut her piehole now. We'll see how Valentine's Day goes with comments like that.

Call Me Ishmael - yes, that's from the yearbook. My hair is much different now. Hopefully Sarah T.'s is as well. ;)

Ok, dudet, if we're gonna do rarities, then we've gotta play the best of their b-sides, "Sheriff of Huddersfield". Classic. Also, we've got to play something by these ladies:

I am so bummed out. I went to look for my old VHS copy of Maiden England but it's nowhere to be found. :(

Women in Uniform has to make the set list as I always find it hilarious that the same "serious' artistes that turned Rime of the Ancient Mariner into a 16 minute opus could pen such thoughtful lyrics :Women in uniform, sometimes they look so cold
Women in uniform, but, Oh! They feel so warm !
