Welcome to my journey friends, where I post highlights from my crazy life doing the work I love!
As a singer, host, interviewer, actor and old school rocker (with a fanatical love of RUSH), I've spent over 25 years exploring the entertainment world as a performer and curious observer of interesting talent, artists, visionaries and personalities who make us think and feel a little deeper.
Whether its music, film, TV, or business, I'm most fascinated by the human beings behind the stories; how they think, feel, and who they really are. I work hard to ask the questions and share work that people can relate to, learn from, and hopefully find entertaining.
So, I post things that matter, things that don't, and a lot of stuff in between :-) I strive to keep my work positive, meaningful and fun, because in this crazy world, and the short time we have to experience this journey called life, I want every second to count and to give people reasons to smile ❤🎶🎤🤘😁

Bro was a rock star before he was a actual star & yes my guy has a great big heart .
❤❤well done folks!!!!
Thank you - it was my first time playing bass lol
Big respect for that man. Well done Cathy... from someone who grew up in Phoenix :-)
Thank you for watching and appreciate the kind words!
Metallica can even hold a candlestick next too Winger. Metallica is all about chug chug chug on the guitars and Wingers, Reb Beach is a Technical Monstah guitarist!!! The whole band is so incredibly talented.
Cathy is yummy 🎉
Dudes not sober anymore. He's a mess. It's very sad.
That's sad to hear, hope he tries again
He’s making me go dizzy 😵❤
You should have given her a nice long kiss, you would have 1 million views by now, Kathy! 😂
I'm pretty sure she would've punched me if I did that LOL
Hermosa Lita!!!
June 16th ? That's my birthday,,, and born on Father's day ,,, 😊
You guys are hating on Wesley Fır Hid Alcohol Problems. Wesley totally smoked that song back in 1996, 2006, 2008, 2014, 2016. He perfectly covered that song until alcohol abuse ruined him around 2023 when the Sirius XM incident hapoened At Howard Stern's Radio Show. You Guys Are Extremely Pretentious And Narcisistic. The Kind Of Guys To Claim " Kurt Would Have Loved Or Hated This " Kurt Himself Deteriorated far worse than that About A Girl Cover At A Radio Show. Kurt Would Play In South America And In Hollywood, Mind You Close To His Hometown Aberdeen, Not Far Away In Seattle, Due Being An Heroin Addict Despite Having Stomach Ulcers, He Only Sang In His Chest Voicr As Oppose To Using A Mixed Voice Texhnique And Fucking Gave Abysmal Concerts Where He Would Lose His Voice Altogether And Noticrably Struggle, Like A Toddler Trying To Reach His Microphone Back In 1994. Compare Kurt Cobain In 1994 Vs Wes Scantlin In 1994, He Put Kurt's Druggie Suicidal Self To Shame. Imagine Abandoning Your Daughter. Depression Is A Bitch When You Aren't Brave Enough To Overcome But As Self Admitted By Kurt " Remain Passive Aggressive. " And Don't Being Disrespectful To Man's Legacy By Conspiracies About His Wife Having Killed A Man Who Premeditsted A Rock N Roll Shotgun Sucidie Since He Was A Kid Till He Was Even A Grownass Father Evident By His Journals, He As Sensitive And Compassionate He Was, Was Extremely Self Centered Evident By Leaving His Baby Behind. Hopefully That Wasn't The Case As Conspiracists Say. But If Kurt Cobain Lived Long Enough Not To Burn Out But Fade Away, His Voice Would Have Sucked Way Harder Than That "About A Girl Cover" Infact His Stupid Politically Self Righteous Far Left Leaning Bassist Krist Noveselic Himself Admitted That They Brought A Vocal Coach To Kurt After A Fiasco In Rio Followed By A Major Fiasco And Being Booed In Hollywood Of All Places Where You Would Imagine He Would Be Worshipped By The Audience Back In 1993, Over Him Being Clearly High On A Mixture Of Alcohol And Cocaine He Did Backstage. Something Real Life Pirates In West Africa Drink Mind You. A Cocktail Of Gin And Coke, That's How Ridiculous Kurt's Cravings Would Get When He Couldn't Have Heroin. Along Another Musician Doing Heroin, Kurt Cobain Musician İllegaly Ordered A Week's Worth Of For Heroin To Be Smuggled Into Rio Back In 1993 Also Via Plane. Yes Kurt Did Coke Too, Once With Alice In Chains Singer Layne Staley During What I Presume Was Lalapalooza Festival. Ans Butcheree His Own Songs Unintentionally Also As A Result When He Was Determined To Give A Good Show Even, When There Was Good Crowd And No Tv Audiences Nor Lip Syncing Whatsoever. It's All Over UA-cam. Wesley Atleasy Began Cleaning Up His Act. Don't Be Overly Judgemental Of Wesley When Even Kurt Cobain Wr All Love Had It Far Worse. Wesley Has A Serious Alcoholism Issue And Alcohol Is Horrible For The Vocal Cords, Larynx, Airways And Alike. He Can Sing Otherwise As Seen In This Video. And In Videos Such As ua-cam.com/video/VB7T_uHgmUQ/v-deo.html .

Thank you! And absolutely RUSH forever!
Cathy is smoking hot asf
Cathy is so hot
Need me a fiddle, that's beautiful!
Jonathan has played with the very best!
Got this ol’Rush fan tearing up. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Thanks for watching - as a lifelong fan it made me tear up too, one of my favorite songs
Hadn’t heard this before, thanks for sharing.
It was haunting to hear it live, he's amazing!
Thanks for watching!

He’s so great. Love him. His voice and talent are such a gift.
I completely agree! Thanks for stopping by!

The Metal Church fan I am never knew about Fifth Angel. I will then check this out. Beautiful interview Cathy . Thanks.
They're a killer band! Came out around the same time and scene as Queensryche
I saw these guys in a club in Grand Rapids back in the 80's. It was all tables, except a tiny area in front of the stage. An unknown band called Queensryche opened.
that's awesome! Queensryche became one of my favorite bands early on - when they opened for Metallica, I was there to see them!
Wow! You sound KILLER, Cathy!
Thank you so much!
Deadest Crowd ever. 😩🤮
lol, it is a sit down gala with dinner tables so nowhere to get up and dance except in the back which was all standing room only - this was the opening song so it didn't get rowdy until about the 3rd song in!
Someone tell Dee slow down you look like your gonna dislocate that hip
lol
The crowd is lame
its a sit down gala with tables and awards speeches so people couldn't get up too much, but the general admission folks in the back areas were able to rock out
My idol as a vocalist in the 80’s .. turned into a fukin woke Hollywood pos. Best frontman around and a great vocalist. He turned into Stern.
When Twisted sister turns up to tues night Bingo at the local club. 😅
lol
Great to see! Keep rockin fellas!
🤘🏻Twisted F**kn’ Sister🤘🏻
lol
Crowd looks comatose
That's what happens when Twisted sister turns up to Tues night bingo .....😅
Its a formal sit down gala with speeches, etc...so it was a surprise performance
Tight as shit!!!!!
Dee definitely still has them cords tuned up
Dee kicks ass!!!!!
Who would have thought that rock music is filled with so much deep lyrics and beautiful song? I listen to puddle of mudd and in love with wes in a second.
Dee really can still kick out jams
I was very pleasantly surprised at how GREAT they sounded live as well as how much energy Dee still has - he doesn't phone it in, he really goes for it!
It's weird seeing Jay Jay French as a Bald Dude. They sounded good! Maybe a Twisted Sister Reunion of some sorts is in the future?
He'd been bald for a long time, the rug he'd worn was AWFUL. I've gotta believe Dee wears some of those Steven Tyler-like extensions.
@@siberianhusky5874× 10
We all get old dude
Great vid!!! So glad this came up in recommendations. It’s funny to see all those people in the audience about my age now sitting around. Almost 40yrs earlier we were all head bangers😂 show them Dee you’re never too old🤘
Ha Ha! Exactly what I was thinking when I was filming it - By the end, they were all standing up and singing along - Dee gave a fantastic performance and is still such a great front man, I think he had twice the energy I have these days lol! Thanks for stopping by and watching!
Kool Video.... Thank You for Sharing/Posting Beautiful.....
Thanks for watching and always supporting!
Smooth!
Cathy is a badass!
:-)
Great interview! (Thank you Cathy for asking good questions and letting Lita actually answer them!😊)
Thank you for watching and the kind comments!
❤Hoping to meet you in Scotland❤❤it would be an honor
I would LOVE that! I'm hoping to get to Scotland this year, but if my schedule doesn't allow, I most certainly hope to meet you at some point in the states!
Dude looks ate up
This was back when he was struggling with some issues, including liver cancer.
Great interview! I saw Ken play with Flotsam while being an opening band in Austin and was blown away by his playing. After taking the deep dive and learning more about him realized all the great projects he's done. Thank you for this!!🤘🏽🥁🤘🏽
Thanks for watching the interview, and I love that you found out more of Ken's work and life - he's one of the most impressive players out there and I hope more people discover that!
Who else is worthy of the seat of Neil Peart💪🏾🏆
Only God and Buddy Rich
not this guy for sure
@@petertsickritzis9208 bingo
There are a few guys I think could handle it, but I think even they agree that no one can or should fill those shoes. There's a great deal of respect there. Mike is a great drummer, as are others I've worked with, and all are really cool guys to work with. Remember, the purpose of this event was to honor Neil, have fun and raise money for a good cause, and all the drummers there were high fiving and supporting each other and respecting everyone's unique style of playing. That's the way it should be.
@@joeladams2540 What do you have against Mike Portnoy?
Portnoy gets to claim "best drummer ALIVE" now. That's pretty much the only way a drummer can ascend to such a place. Neil Peart held that title from 1980 until his passing. I think he was better than Bonham already by 1980 but very few would have been willing to say that in 1980. Congratulations Mike portnoy, YOU are the best drummer alive.
nope.....
not even close...sloppy
@@joeladams2540 my statement wasn't based on that particular performance of YYZ. it was based more on the decades old lists of best drummers from assorted sources that had portnoy second to the ubiquitous consensus number 1 of all time in Neil Peart. I didn't say "best ever". I said "best ALIVE". that second part is important. Drummers always OD or suffer other assorted methods of ending their lives, so rock drummers even as old as Neil Peart are rare. Portnoy s own catalog of performances is outstanding. But what we have now, that we haven't had in over 40 years is an actual debate. If you disagree, that's fine. I'm not trying to die on this hill. I'm open to suggestions. I like other guys better. You just can't deny his skill and catalog. I mean, after Neil it doesn't even matter.
@@petertsickritzis9208 I don't even get what that guy was talking about anyway. Nothing about this performance sounds sloppy.
"When angels kills" song and video is very good,everything about it is perfect.
The entire album is great!
