Rockzillaworld -- web site mirror

How much can one fan of OKOM (Our Kind Of Music) accomplish in just a couple of years? Plenty, if it's Rockzilla, aka photographer Michael Johnson. From 2003 to 2005, rockzilla.net was a chronicle of the alt.country scene from a uniquely Texan perspective. But all good things must end, and Rockzilla has retired from the online 'zine scene.

This mirror site was copied from the rockzilla.net site with the express permission of Rockzilla hisself. If you don't believe me, go to the KHYI-Fans email list and ask him! Buddy will back me up, too.

 Dear Buddy
As a service to our loyal readers, the pride of Parnell Community, Rockzillaworld's own Buddy Eugene Sikes is now available to answer all of your questions about music, money, sports, politics, and above all-- love. Got a problem? Tell Buddy about it.

Dear Buddy,

I come to you seeking knowledge. I played golf today with a musician friend....let's call him "Buddy".  On several of the tee boxes, I noticed "Buddy" fixated on some mushrooms that had popped up through the turf.  Should I be concerned? This vision clearly threw him off his game, and caused our team to finish one spot out of the money. 

Should I talk to his Pastor, Doctor, Friends/Neighbors, or should I just stay out of his bidness?

Name Withheld By Request
 
Dear NWBR
 
I happen to know this musician "Buddy" of yours so I can assure you that contacting a Pastor or Friends are not options. I also happen to know that a great deal of the music that we hear on the radio was written under the influence of these very same mushrooms, so I would advise you to please not meddle with the forces of Nature.
 
Peace

I noticed that in a previous reply you mentioned butting heads with a goat. I did that same thing once. Could you please tell that entire story? I noticed that in a previous reply you mentioned butting heads with a goat. Could you please tell that entire story?

Dear Buddy:
 
I was very excited to see your response to my life's dilemma. Thank you for responding so quickly. I also want to thank you for your deepest sympathy regarding my late husband's tragic demise. While it has been 3 weeks since his untimely passing, I feel like it just happened yesterday.
As for my proposing to my wheelchair bound lover, well I popped the question. And as always, Buddy was right, he accepted with open arms. Well, maybe not fully open as his left arm has a slight twitch that has been known to injure small women and children as well as his own momma on Mothers Day.
We are now in the throes of planning a wedding! So much to do, so much to plan. Of course, Buddy, this wedding will not go on without a hitch. My future mother-in-law is insisting that we have a barbecue dinner for our reception. This idea is very appealing to my future husband and me however, she insists on using my third son Jimmy's FFA prize winning Duroc gilt. I can tell you right now, little Jimmy's heart would be broken if I asked him to give up Twila on behalf of the union of my man and myself.
 
Dear Buddy, how do I break this news to my future mother-in-law? I don't want to get off on the wrong foot with her; she has enough problems with her feet with those corns and bunions and all. I want this marriage to bring our families together in peace, love, and harmony.
Please help!

Dear Sandra Lou
 
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. I wish you and your new husband many months of happiness.
 
You seem to have the same problem I have. Every time something good happens, there's always a bit ol' butt attached- usually in the form of a mother-in-law.
 
OK. You really only have 2 options. You can kill Twila, have a nice meal, and chalk it up to a lesson on what he's got to look forward to for little Jimmy. Kinda let him get a taste of what being beaten down by The Man feels like. But, I say "Screw that." Let little Jimmy be blissfully ignorant for as long as possible.
 
That leaves you with only one option. Get you future mother-in-law alone so that nobody else can hear you. Tell her that if she says one word about the pig or causes any trouble EVER, you'll put her in a remotely situated home and never drive your husband to visit her, NEVER.
 
That should solve your problem.
 
Peace

Do you like sports?
 
Eddie in Ennis
 
Dear Eddie
 
Well, yeah. I like hunting and fishing...hell I'm a man, you know? If you mean games like football or hockey- yeah, if there ain't a good Clint Eastwood or John Wayne movie on, I'll watch a game. I really do like weightlifting, though- especially the 12 ounce curl. I better go work out.

Dear Buddy
 
I am an attractive, young, white female. I have good hygiene habits as well as an outgoing personality. I have recently re-entered the dating world after a brief marriage to my 3rd cousin that ended tragically after a rodeo incident involving an intoxicated rodeo clown and a large barrel.
However, these matters are not of my concern. Recently I have met a new beau (of no relation) and I must admit, have fallen deeply in love with him. My question, Dear Buddy, is would you consider the four dates we have had together a long-term relationship? Should I go and reserve the church? I want to be more than just a common law wife and give my 5 kids a daddy they can look up to. Well, they won't look up as he is disabled and in a wheelchair from an unfortunate accident with a John Deere tractor and a fence post on his half brothers mothers chicken farm.
So my question, how do I propose to this man that I have grown to love and understand so deeply in the 6 days I have known him? My 5 kids and I would consider ourselves lucky to have this man and his disability check in our lives.
Please respond quickly.
Sandra Lou
 

Dear Sandra Lou
Yours is one of the most intriguing questions I've read. You have my deepest sympathy regarding the rodeo tragedy. I had a near fatal incident a few years ago at the state fair when I butted heads with the grand champion show goat, so I feel your pain.
Your new boyfriend sounds like the perfect man for you and your kids. Besides the fact that you say that you're in love with him, nothing says "stability" like a check for disability. Just tell this man that you want to marry him, and if he balks, tell him to just roll on down the road.
I suspect he'll jump at the chance to marry you, though, and that would be great for everyone involved. Your kids need a father figure in their lives, and if his wheelchair is motorized, well, every day will be like a day at the state fair for them kids. He will have the added comfort of knowing that if the battery goes dead, there's enough kids to push him back to the house. Sounds like a match made in Heaven to me.
Let us know how everything works out.
Peace

Dear Buddy:
My boyfriend, (who voted for Bill Clinton), thinks I am a redneck because I have my BBQ grill on my front porch! Now, technically my front porch is in my back yard and I say, So what? I think he is still mad about the time I threw him out of his own boat! Sigh. I'm frustrated, inhibited and nobody understands me.
We never go to any music venues anymore unless you count the Brian Raider show! Zen Bubba is gonna be there and I heard they are good, so maybe it's not ALL bad. Then again, maybe I should just sit home and pout. What do you think?
 
Lucy
 
Dear Lucy
 
He's got a lot of damned nerve calling you a redneck after he voted for Bill. No wonder you're frustrated. You clearly didn't use a big enough weight when you threw him out of that boat.
 
As far as the show...well...Zen Bubba means telecasters and steel-toed cowboy boots and BIG reverb and that spells party.
 
Peace

Dear Buddy
 
Now that this Dixy Chicks controversy seems to'uve died down some... do you think it's safe to buy wunna their albums again without worryin' about bein stalked by some redneck... who juss may've witnessed the purchase in the record store? Cuz hey, I for one am willin' to forgive em. An' so am ready to replace somma them CDs that went into the wood chipper. I mean... come on. I seen their interview on the telly. An' they struck me as bein' way too dumb ta be dangerous.
 
b from c= me
 
Dear BC
 
I think you might have issues that are far more important than whether or not you should replace your DC records. Frankly, you frighten me. And if you're buying the records, who's the dumb one?

Dear Buddy:
 
Has anything happened in Parnell since you last updated your web page? Also, do you have a t-top on your tractor?
 
What is the meaning of life? Just "wunnering"...
 
Best Regards...really

Dear Air Condtioner:
 
Yes. Many things haver happened, some tragic, since I last updated the Parnell site. I hope to get it caught up soon. I drive a Farmall Super C and no, it don't have t-tops.
 
The meaning of whose life? You're gonna cause trouble, aren't you?

Dear Buddy:
 
I'm a Green Party member, a huge Dixie Chicks fan, and I speak French. If I go on a trip to see my folks back home in Oklahoma, do you think I'll be able to get back across the Red River?
 
Merci beaucoup!
 
That Obsessive-Compulsive Dixie Chicks Guy
 
 
Dear Ob-Comp Guy
 
Well, I guess from that opening sentence that you don't plan to run for public office, huh? As far as your trip is concerned, just place a Kevin Fowler sticker on the rear bumper of the 20 year old Japanese sub-compact that you drive and you'll do just fine.

Dear Buddy,
 
I was wondering if you could tell me why chickens don't pee?
 
Mike in Lavon
 
 
 
Dear Mike
 
Interesting question. Actually, chickens do pee, just not like we do. You know that white speck on the top of chicken doo-doo? Well, that is chicken pee. Here's how the folks at The University of Arizona Health Sciences Center explain it:
 
"Chicken urine consists of yellowish fluid with a white pasty substance largely made of uric acid. Uric acid is the main product of nitrogen metabolism in birds and is not water soluble; this is why solids make up part of the urine."
 
And there you have it.

Dear Buddy:
 
That name withheld guy requesting your opinion regarding penile enhancement products, was me. Fact is... I was inquiring for someone else. Really.
 
Anyway, you asked me to let you know how it all turned out... an' I gotta say, the result was not all that was hoped for. See, the guy who tried it was my boss (a complete jerk, actually)... and now, after taking the recommended dose of that stuff for the prescribed period?
He now has a size eleven and three quarters hat size.
 
A real "Monkey's Paw" outcome, I'd say.
 
Blademan from Chicago
 
 
 
Dear Blademan
 
Thanks for the feedback and the WW Jacobs reference-- the first ever on Rockzillaworld. Man. Wow. Uh...he didn't take that stuff internally, did he? Geez. I bet he wishes he hadn't, huh?
 
Peace

Dear Buddy:

A friend of mine wants to know whether those penis enlargement products really work?

Name withheld by request, Dallas

 

Dear NWBR:

While I have certainly never had a need for such products, I sensed the urgency in your question and did a little research. Dallas radio personality Bruce Kidder says that he has had tremendous results with a product called "Erectocreme." Rockzillaworld editor William Michael Smith says it saved his marriage. On the other hand, Singer Jay Johnson's wife, Rebecca, says that they've tried countless penile enlargement products and had no success (however, all manufacturers add the disclaimer that "the patient should have an adequate base source to work with," so we can't be certain that this is evidence that the products failed). I guess I'd have to just say that you pays your money and you takes your chances. If these don't work, you might want to consider some sort of corrective surgery. Let me know what develops.

Peace

Dear Buddy:
 
Well, I see you're up to your old tricks again. Why don't you grow up?

Dear Buddy:
 
I hear you almost every morning talking to Bruce Kidder on KHYI. I was just wondering whether the station gets very many complaints about you calling so often.

Dear Chrystal
 
Well, for starters, it looks like your mamma had a spelling problem. I'd like to see you try to drop that superfluous "h," and then maybe you can write to me again with a better question.
