or senators or help the people in power get there? My solution, keep as little money in the banks as you have to, so you can do what the system demands, do not pay your bills electronically or by bank check, get a money order and mail them, save your money elsewhere don’t pay to save your hard earned money. Pay cash whenever you can. INSPECT you bank statements, CLOSELY question ANYTHING you don’t understand and don’t just take a flippant answer from someone at the bank “show it to me in writing” why, how and what I came up with new idea for our papers, I’ve been caused it WHEN? thinking about a guest column letting people complain about our country, big businesses Oh I think next month I’ll ask why when I pay (phone companies, banks, and other giants that my $65.00 phone bill at one of the phone stores no longer care about us little people). Lately I’ve on the corner I have to pay $69.95 am I paying a had some experiences with all of the above.” fee to PAY my phone bill… mmmmm. .50 cent money order and a .44 cent stamp saves me about My latest run in was with a bank manager after $4.01per month, times that by 12 months. What a trying to give me a bunch of psycho babble she country we are becoming! couldn’t explain, made the statement “buyer beware”, stating “it’s not what the banker says to Now remember, when you start sending me you, it’s what is in the paper work(the fine print) bitching emails or letters they have to make sense that counts.” I questioned some charges and what and I will try hard to get them in the papers, if I think they were and how they worked to no avail, I could you have a point I can understand (I won’t have to only chuckle at her frustration. The fees that are agree) just understand what your complaint is, we charged by the banks are totally out of line, one will work hard to get it in. I will have a disclaimer fee can wipe out any interests the banks PROUDLY saying it’s the writers opinion BRAGS about, in an instance. If you have a savings not mine or the newspapers account with $500.00 in it and the bank pays you cause that’s what us media guys 3% per year on the money (which is really high), do not to get in trouble. I’m so what do you make? $15.00 right, the fee to MANAGE fed up with the bullshit we are your $500.00 is $3.00 or more a month. You get it, being fed by our political leaders $3.00 X 12 months is HOW MUCH? Gee I wish I had and those running for office, a license to do business that way. And that’s your there should be a easier way to SAVINGS ACCOUNT! Checking accounts, oh yes, it fire them then to impeach them, used to be illegal to write a check without money and I mean locally on up! in our account, now it’s encouraged because of the The other night I watched the Republican $30.00 to $35.00 fee that is charged by your helpful Presidential debates, three of the candidates said bank, and then if you don’t pay that fee within X “I PROMISE THAT WITHIN THE 1ST YEAR IN OFFICE I amount of days (about 7 to 14) there’s ANOTHER WILL” etc… now why can’t we get that IN WRITING, FEE, oh my God, what a surprise, that fee is about and fire their sorry butts if they don’t keep their $15.00. So for us “little people” does it really pay to promises? He’s applying for a job right? I bet they let these people watch our money and live in ivory all would be chickenshit to sign a contract with us towers? Ivory Towers yes, take a ride downtown, saying if I DON’T GET THIS, THIS, AND THIS DONE Phoenix, and look up. Whose name do you see on (my platform) IN THE FIRST 2 YEARS I WILL STEP the high rise building? Youuuuu got it! DOWN AND VOLUNTARILY LET MY OPPONENT Now Circle K and other convenience stores have THAT CAME IN SECOND TAKE MY PLACE AND money orders for about .35 cents to .99 cents and FINISH MY TERM IN OFFICE, and of course, we will a stamp for .44 cents to mail your money to people remember the opponent has a signed contract and debt collectors and if you keep your money with us too. Is this just too damn easy or did I miss under your pillow or in a shoe box for savings you something? get to keep ALL OF IT, no charge. Of course if you OK it’s your turn! have lots of money the banks will give you all their services free, because they got people like US to Oh, by the way, every wonder why the bullshit pay their bills! Want to borrow some money? Well politics don’t work in our pool and dart first if you can, what kind of interest do you think community? Think before you open your mouth. you should pay? Yes, go think again! God Help Us All Welcome to October 2011! Our heat is slowly leaving us and we are starting to enjoy why most of us moved to Arizona.

Well look around your house or apartment in your bathroom or your closet, do you have a jewelry box? Most of us buy or receive gifts that we wear for awhile, then just simply set aside and forget about, this could be your hidden treasure that will help pay the rent or car payment or just let you go out tonight and have some fun. Jim at Lucky Gold on 35th Ave. and Northern Ave. tells me that people are always surprised to find out what kind of treasures they are storing and what they are worth. Lucky Gold buys gold, silver, scrap, broken jewelry and other precious metals, I’ve known Jim for awhile and watched him help people and advise
them on how they should be aware when dealing with just anyone, he laughed when he told me, “I don’t sell phones, smokes, or trinkets and other odds and ends, I buy gold, silver and other metals. That’s my business and I give everyone a fair shake, if people don’t know what their items are worth, tell them to stop by and I’ll appraise it for them.” The next time you need some cash, go treasure hunting around your house and then go see Jim at Lucky Gold, just maybe you’ll hit the jackpot.

THE TEA PARTY & I
Dr. Jack Well let’s talk politics! I’m interested in what the difference is between a Democratic, Republican and a Tea Party member. I have an idea but I’m not too sure, I think the Tea Party member is a guy like me that is finally fed up with the bullshit the Democrats and the Republicans have been feeding me for the last hundred years or so, does that sound right? Now why is it when I take a job and promise to deliver certain responsibility to my employer and fail to do that, I get fired, and why doesn’t that apply to the politicians we hire based on their promises? Has anyone ever thought perhaps we need to have contracts between us and the politicians we hire? Let’s say we elect (hire) a Senator, his promises (platform) is to reduce taxes, increase jobs and stop corruption in government, now that’s why we hired him, right? Let’s have a contract signed by him with a stipulation saying that if he fails to do what he promises in the first two years he must resign and allow his opponent of that election to take over his
seat for the next two years with the same stipulations if he fails, no more bullshit that the devil made me do it or the other guys wouldn’t cooperate…cause they would, if they all had contracts. Now these contracts should be signed by the prospects seeking a job from us or wanting to keep the job they have now. Not just babble a bunch of rhetoric during their campaign that has been proven to mean nothing because there are no consequences when they fail, they just get to bullshit us again with the same excuses, and for some reason we fall for it, let’s let them hang themselves with their own promises. Any political takers on this one, now I know there must be some very smart attorneys in the Tea Party that could draw up an iron clad contract that would execute the dismissal automatically. It would be like Miss America screwing up and her second stepping in and taking over, yes that easy! Now I think some organization like the Tea Party could do this easily without passing new laws, just publicly announce the contract, advertise it to the public and ask any
WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/CONNOLLYS_GLENDALE potential candidate to sign it, and if she or he will not, that SHOULD tell us something right, and we should tell everyone they refused to take responsibility of their promises. I’m not talking just about our Federal Government I mean every government local, state and national, any position you are elected to or appointed to, a contract should be mandatory, we could even throw in a lie detector test every now and then at will. Could you imagine if everyone in office had to live up to their promises or, through no fault of anyone’s but their own, they would be fired automatically? Can you even imagine what a much more wonderful place we would live in? Let’s fight to bring back our country to the people and for the people. Where do you start, go to a local Tea Party meeting see what they are all about, send your ideas and contract ideas to the Tea Party, if you don’t know where to send them go online and type in Tea Party or send them to me and I will pass them on to the right people. Your ideas don’t need to be formal, neat or even correct; they just need to be HEARD. By the way, what is your responsibility to your country? Some say well, I served in the service! Is that in itself enough, let’s start at our local level
and make our politician AND THE bureaucrats sign contracts every 2 years as to what they will get done and if they don’t fulfill their contract they are automatically replaced. I’m sorry people but I’m fed up with the bullshit I’m hearing, some of it by the same old people trying to make the same old crap work. Let’s give our youth of today the opportunities of the past, not the hard times, but the times to succeed by your abilities, when our government and banks were US yes they belonged to us they helped us they had faith in us and they weren’t the “BUSINESS” we were, they depended on our success for theirs. How and when did that turn around and we have to start bowing and sucking up to them to make a living, quotas, outrageous laws, rule, regulations, inspections, and all the things to keep us in our place. It’s time everyone to put them in THEIR PLACE! If you don’t like working for us, then get the hell out of the kitchen. Put your platform promises in a simple contract explaining in simple language what you promise to do in the first 2 years and agree that you are to leave that office if you fail for ANY REASON. Let’s call this a NO BULLSHIT CONTRACT.

PROPHET: ST. MADNESS
BRIEFLY DESCRIBE YOUR BAND/ MUSIC: PROPHET: ST. MADNESS is a Heavy Metal band formed in 1993, using the name “Crown of Thorns” until August of 1997, when we discovered that a Christian rock group from New Jersey had actually trademarked the name in 1991. We had already released two albums and a number of different T-shirts, posters and stickers as “Crown of Thorns”, so we began talking with an attorney about a new name, options, etc. The album we had out at the time was “The Spiritual Visions of ST. MADNESS”. The attorney did a search and found no other band had used it, so I convinced the band to change our name to “ST. MADNESS”, which we immediately trademarked. We are a theatrical band in the sense that we wear “face paint,” and musically we have lots of influences, so our music spans a wide range of different types of Metal and Rock N Roll. HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU LEARNED TO PLAY AND WHO INSPIRED YOU? PROPHET: I was 16 years old and in high school the first time I performed onstage. I didn’t really have any ambitions of actually being in a band or any of that. The death of Elvis Presley really played a key role in why I wanted to become a singer. Before that, I was really into sports - I played soccer for nine years, was on the high school track team and tennis team. I had also played on the football team in junior high, as well as a bit of boxing. When
Elvis died, it hit my heart so bad that I started to sing to his albums pretty much every day at home for months I was part of the chorus at Alta Loma High School in California, and in the fall of 1978, another student told the choir director that I sounded like Elvis. At the time, Elvis Presley was still big in the media. The director told me that the chorus was doing a Christmas concert soon, and said that he wanted me to sing “Blue Christmas” with one of the girls. When we did the song we got loud applause, and I actually signed my first autographs that night! I performed ‘Elvis’ for about two years after that, and people really went wild for it. It was kind of a novelty at the time to have a young 16 year-old Elvis imitator, so I got quite a bit of attention for doing it. I eventually got tired of people calling me ‘Elvis’, so I began writing my own lyrics and putting bands together and haven’t looked back since. IF YOU COULD JAM WITH ANYONE ALIVE OR DEAD WHO WOULD IT BE? PROPHET: Elvis - Dimebag Darrell Tony Iommi - Lemmy from Motorhead - Vinnie Paul and Rex from Pantera. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME? PROPHET: That is a really hard question to answer but I will say this, “You Can’t Kill Rock N Roll” by Ozzy Osbourne is right at the top of my list. I love all different styles of music, so it’s not possible for me to name one song out of all songs that I like the best. “You Can’t Kill Rock N Roll” though is a song with a message
that I have lived my life in music by. WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE LOCAL BAND? PROPHET: There are so many great bands and musicians here that it would be unfair of me to name any of them, so let’s just say that I respect and admire many bands from the Arizona Music/Metal scene. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE VENUE TO PLAY AT IN AZ? PROPHET: At this time I would have to say that my favorite place to perform is on the outside patio of “910 LIVE” in Tempe. ST. MADNESS will be doing a show there Friday Sept 30th. Outdoor shows have always been my favorite, and they have a great venue there. WHAT’S YOUR POI SON / DRI N K OF CHOICE? PROPHET: I actually quit drinking on March 30th of 1990. After years of being in bands and living a crazy life, the booze and drugs like meth and cocaine got the best of me. By the grace of God, I haven’t gone back to being a drunken drug addict. I do smoke weed (I have a Medical Marijuana card) and cigars, so besides my addiction to music, they are my only vices since 1990. WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER TO BE THE BEST SONG YOU PERFORM? PROPHET: I would have to say “ARIZONA.” This is a song that I wrote to give tribute to our wonderful state and to show my love and respect for the Native American community here. “ARIZONA” is by far the most requested song at all of our shows, which really makes me feel good
cause I wrote it as my way of giving back to the people of our state as well as the Metal community here that has been so good to me, my family, and ST. MADNESS. The song is totally from the heart. I am a California native, but Arizona is my home. I have a tattoo of our state on my leg. WHY DO YOU THINK THE CHICKEN REALLY CROSSED THE ROAD? PROPHET: Because there was a kick ass band performing in concert at a venue across the street. WHERE ARE YOUR GIGS FOR THE NEXT MONTH? PROPHET: No concerts booked in October. We go back into the recording studio in November, laying down the final songs for the new album entitled “CANONIZING CARNAGE” (13 original tracks and two covers) that will be released in Feb 2012, so we need to stay focused on that. 11. DO YOU READ TABLE TALK AND DART STARR NEWSPAPERS? PROPHET: I actually haven’t, but I will now. DO YOU PLAY PRIVATE PARTIES AND ARE YOU AVAILABLE FOR BOOKING? PROPHET: ST. MADNESS will play anywhere that has fans who love Metal music and yes, we are available for bookings, although we haven’t played at a private event in many years. I would like to take this time to say THANK YOU TAMII for asking me to do this interview and for giving me a chance to share about myself and ST. MADNESS with your readers. “BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO LOVE METAL FOR THEY SHALL CONQUER THE WORLD” Contact/Booking info: Marge Johnson AmendmentOne Management mjohnson@amendmentone.com (480) 577-8674

MY BIRTHDAY PARTY @ THE ROADHOUSE
On Wednesday, September 21st, I celebrated my birthday at the Thunderbird Roadhouse…When I arrived Mike, the owner, had reserved me my favorite table right up front with all the cool party favors and balloons, awwwwww! The Porch Dawgs and Rayker started jammin’ and Sara C. FORCED me to drink a shot of Jagermeister. (LOL! Thanks girl, you rock!) So the evening was off to a good start. I spent a lot of time going back and forth from the bar to the smoking patio, wishing I could be both places at once, but the bar could barely hold everyone that showed up. I think this was the best birthday ever!
A huge thank you to all my friends who showed up to celebrate with me, I wish I could put all the pictures in the paper. AND thank you AZCRAZY MARK and DR. JACK for taking pictures and all the players for rocking the night away, and Mike and the great staff at Tbird Roadhouse for getting us all trashed, the bartender, Dave, for taking his shirt off (haha!), and all the cute Jesus lookalikes for being so cool and “Jesusy”. And congratulations James, for being the MOST Jesusy! Love you guys!

BELIEVE IN HEROES™ First Semi-Annual Blues Mini-Fest At 11 a.m. on November 11, 1918, “the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month,” a ceasefire came into effect that would end World War I. For this reason, the date is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.” Eightythree years later, on September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists hijacked and crashed four commercial airliners, killing thousands of Americans. The events of that day would inspire droves of brave men and women to answer the call to duty to enlist in our country’s all-volunteer armed services. All veterans face challenges as they return to society, and today’s wounded warriors are meeting extraordinary obstacles. These include visible, physical injuries as well as invisible ones, like posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Our challenge goes beyond just raising awareness for veterans, but by addressing the real hurdles our warriors face as they return to civilian life. Believe in Heroes™ is a Wounded Warrior Project™ initiative that

calls on Americans to recognize the enormous sacrifices made by our newest generation of veterans and to honor the service of these individual over a two-month campaign leading up to Veterans Day. The Believe in Heroes campaign will provide the American public with an opportunity to show their support and appreciation of our veterans in their communities, and across the nation. To find out more about this effort, or the Wounded Warrior Project organization, please visit them at www.woundedwarriorproject.org. Your support and donations will go towards the many men and women who serve abroad. Get involved.

To say that they are big-hearted would be a understatement. Part of tonight’s festivities involves a fundraiser for Operation HOME FRONT to help families of veterans
in service across the world. It is certainly a worthy cause and I urge veterans and civilians in the valley to support this cause. It certainly is worthy of our support. Valleri and Dan (retired Air Force) who recently celebrated their 25 year anniversary are helping with tonight’s festivities.
Three live bands, Midnight Aurora, Corium and Party Mcfly are rockin’ until the wee hours tonight and free hamburgers and hot dogs are being served, with drink specials being served by bartenders Melisa, Aurora and David Jr. Wild Bills has the only dunk tank in the state, (that I know of) where you can dunk a friend. Wild Bills always has something going on, and I urge our readers to stop by and have fun and enjoy their hospitality. It truly is a fun place and I won’t soon forget the great time I had this evening. And last but certainly not least, from all the staff here at Billiards Table Talk and Dart Starr, HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACIE AND MAY YOU HAVE MANY, MANY MORE! ONCE AGAIN THIS IS CARL KOWALCZUK, BILLIARDS TABLE TALK AND DART STARR REPORTER SAYING: KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE BALL AND ALWAYS SHOOT STRAIGHT!
