It has occurred to me that if I’m going to make it as a rock star, I need to understand all aspects of a successful tour. Well as luck would have it, Gene Simmons, of the legendary rock band Kiss, the man who can market anything and everything and make it successful, has just the […]
AC/DC is thundering into New England this weekend with their Power Up Tour! But do I have a backstage pass to Gillette Stadium? No. I don’t even have complimentary tickets in the nosebleed section with an obstructed view by the clouds! Shocking right? But when my squeaky toy tour manager, Llily Llama, approached their people […]
On this Earth Day, Angel Chuck Billy would want me to remind you that one gram of dog waste contains more than 23 million units of fecal bacteria that are harmful to humans and other animals.

It happened again. I was happily conversing with my stuffed animal friends, when Mom surprised me by announcing my dinner was served. Just when I thought I was somewhat getting a grasp on when to alert it was time for dinner, they changed the rules, or at least the clocks on me! Angel Chuck Billy […]
Today’s post goes out with a big thank you to my friend Murphy! Since Angel Chuck Billy crossed Rainbow Bridge, I have not been inspired to write a new parody. I’ve tried. But my heart wasn’t there, so I’ve been sharing old songs. That is until today! I saw Murphy’s new harness which reads, “2 […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about yesterday’s post. My manager Llily Llama and producer Philip Sloth are correct, I need to increase my stage presence and broaden my appeal if I’m ever going to be a rock star. In the book Heavy Metal: A Cultural Sociology, Deena Weinstein talked about the importance of having a […]
After ten years of being a rising rock star, my new manager, squeaky stuffie Lilly Llama, thinks I need to change my approach.
