There are, I've been told, a few existential questions that man is likely to ponder at some point during his existence. Our search for meaning is inborn and natural; we yearn to solve the puzzles, to unlock the doors of life's great mysteries, to grasp the very ideas that keep us awake at night. Why are we here? Where are we going? Is there a God? What is the meaning of life? All valid questions worthy of thought. There is another question, though, a question that boggles my mind and leaves me unable to sleep at a very specific time of the year. How is it possible that anybody thinks the Easter Bunny is anything other than disturbing and creepy?
I remember it started for me back in childhood, as I'm sure it does for most people. I was vaguely aware of the Easter Holiday and what it meant, but only on a very limited scale. My parents were never what you would call "pious." My dad is a Lutheran, my Mom a Catholic, but really only by title alone. Nevertheless, I was double baptized, first Lutheran, then Catholic several years later. I like to think my parents were covering their tracks "just in case." It's not that they didn't try. My brother and I had to attend bi-weekly religion classes at the Church to get a good base knowledge of Christianity, and we went to church sporadically, it just never really took. Around the time I was ten, I think we collectively gave up as a family, and resigned ourselves to a life of debauchery and possibly an eternity of roasting in a lake of fire. I digress.
I don't remember how old I was when I really knew what Easter was. There are pictures of me as a small child in a little bow tie with my Easter basket, adorable, smiling pictures. I may have even been aware of the Easter Bunny, a kind of rabbit Santa that brought me toys and candy. I was not ungrateful, and I appreciated the Easter Bunny, at least at first. He wasn't up to par with Santa Claus, though. Santa always brought me better presents. The Easter Bunny tried his best, but he was obviously impoverished. Candy and one or two cheap gifts? Poor little bastard.
When I was in 1st Grade, and I remember this vividly, my mother asked me if I would like to go see the Easter Bunny at the mall. I was thrilled. I didn't know what to expect, and I was excited to see this vagabond second tier gift giver. The only rabbits I had ever seen were small and fluffy, mostly the wild ones around my house. One Easter, when I was small, my Grandfather (who had a knack for giving gifts that he didn't think through) bought my brother and I two small pet rabbits that had been dyed black and brown. We named them Blackie and Brownie (we were original as hell). Of course, my mother, who is deathly afraid of even the most adorable of animals, wouldn't let us keep them, so we played with them for a few days and let them loose in the woods. Now, years later, when I think about how painfully brief a life those poor little brightly colored rabbits probably had in the wild before a dog or a Coyote picked them up, it still gives me a twinge of guilt, but again, I digress. The point is I thought I knew what rabbits were. Turns out I didn't have a fucking clue.
I don't remember any of the trip to the mall; I imagine it was pretty mundane and average. We were probably listening to any number of the Kid Song cassette tapes we had that were supposed to foster intellectual growth while entertaining the child with catchy educational songs. They were also annoying as hell, and how my poor mother was able to survive that dark period without driving the car into a ravine I'll never know. I do not remember how we got to the mall, but I sure as hell remember what happened after we got there. I don't think that memory will ever leave. It remains branded in my subconscious, unyielding, refusing to let go. What I remember most are the screams. Some nights I still hear them.
The colors were the first thing I noticed. Vivid springtime colors, a beautiful rainbow of light purples, robin egg blues, sunny yellows, light greens. They surrounded a stage of fake flowers with smiley faces on them, happy suns, grinning lambs. Sprouts of artificial grass shot up all around, and a beautiful array of Easter eggs blanketed the area, seemingly rained in from the heavens. They were colored in innumerable arrays of shapes and shades. I was mesmerized. It was like Santa's workshop, only better, and without the dwarves and domesticated deer. Clearly this Easter Bunny had been holding out on me, because his palatial wealth was very apparent. It had to be the largest enclosure ever for a tiny little rabbit, and I was scanning the ground looking for the creature, when I became aware of a presence. Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw.
I noticed the feet first. Giant, purple things, roughly twelve inches across, probably a good eighteen inches long. They were heavy looking, dangerous. The rest of the creature came into focus shortly thereafter. Six feet tall, purple fur, a large puff ball tail on its gigantic ass. Its ears stood straight up, terrifyingly erect like the horn of a Rhinoceros. It had gigantic hands, monstrous hands, the type of hands that looked as though they could snap a neck as easy as you or I can twist the top off of a jug of milk. The eyes, the eyes were fucking terrible. Huge unblinking orbs, wide eyed. The pupils were fixed and dilated. Its sadistic smile never changed, revealing huge buck-teeth. I was looking at the most terrible creature I had ever seen, some kind of mutant rabbit beast, and my mother had brought me here willingly, no doubt as some sort of pagan sacrifice. I felt betrayed.
I don't know how long I stood there staring at the beast before I felt my mother's hand on my quivering shoulder. It felt like years, it was probably only a few seconds. She said something to me, but I was too frozen with fear to comprehend English. She asked me again.
"Would you like to take a picture with the Easter Bunny?"
Was she fucking serious? No. I most definitely did not want to get my picture taken with the Easter Bunny. I wanted to run away and hide until somebody killed it. What had I done to deserve this? Why was my mother trying to let a giant rabbit eat me? It was then I noticed other mothers and their children, some panicked like me, some calm and seemingly happy. The happy ones probably didn't know yet what was in store for them. I knew I couldn't let myself go quietly.
"Fuck no I don't want to get my picture taken with the bunny," I said. "Do you see THE SIZE of that motherfucker? Look at those teeth!" I'm aware I most likely did not swear vulgarly at my mother in my moment of trepidation, but I am quite sure I muttered the child's equivalent of terrified obscenities.
"There's nothing to be scared of," my mother said. "He's friendly. The Easter Bunny has been to our house lots of times. He's just like Santa Claus! You love Santa Claus."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. THIS big bastard had been in our house? Lots of times? I pictured him hovering over me, large foot ready to strike me down like some sort of a bunny raptor. And how could she bring Santa into this? Santa was a sweet, obese, elderly man that watched me sleep, had me sit on his lap, and had a fetish for dwarves. THIS was a creepy rabbit, with teeth the size of television remote controls. And aren't living things supposed to blink? This thing had not blinked since I'd been looking at it.
Not once. That was clearly a sign of brain trauma or psychosis, and my mother wanted me to sit on its lap and get a picture taken. "Sure mom, we'll get a great one. I hope that photographer is quick, though, because it'll probably swallow me whole. Might be able to get a shot of my legs hanging out of its mouth. That'd be swell. Grandma would love that!"
According to my mother, I began to cry at this point. I don't really want to believe that. I like to think I faced my fast approaching death with manly stoicism, but I guess I have to take her word for it. She didn't mention anything about me pissing myself with fear, so I guess that's something. She must have talked me into it, into accepting my demise, because the next think I knew we were in line, so smiling mothers could watch their little darlings get gobbled up by a mutated rabbit. I was trapped on both sides by a white picket fence bordered by cartoon lambs and smiling flowers. They had seemed happy and welcoming only moments before. Now they struck me as dark and menacing, the giant rabbit's evil little minions, ready to pick off any child that dared to escape their furry master's buck-toothed jaws. Up ahead, at the death chamber where the rabbit sat on its devilish flowered throne built on the tears of children, I could make out the sound of a camera shutter and a cartoonish laugh. It wasn't bad enough that the rabbit would murder me. It would laugh good naturedly as it did, and one of its henchmen would get it on film so they could watch it later, some kind of sadomasochistic bunny smut film. My mother must have seen the terror on my face. She tried to calm my nerves and assure me everything would be alright.
"There is no need to worry. It's going to be fine! I promise. The Easter Bunny is very friendly, you'll see!"
I was quite sure she was wrong. No, mom. It was not going to be fucking fine. I remember the time she had me spend the night over at my friend Davey's house. Davey had the chicken pox, and I was aware that I could catch it. I didn't really want to go, and I found it odd that my mother had insisted. She had told me that night would turn out "fine" too. She "promised." Shortly thereafter I had the chicken pox. She had explained her treason by saying that sometimes mommies have to fib to do what's best for their children. Back then it was chicken pox that were best for me. Now apparently a six foot tall carnivorous woodland critter was best for me. If I survived this, what the hell else would be "best for me?" Putting a dryer bag over my head? How about playing in the road? Would that be "best for me" too?
As we neared the Easter Bunny and his awful little platform of pain, I began to look around hurriedly, trying to find any avenue of escape. I could see none. My mother had my hand pretty tight. Short of gnawing off my own limb like a wolf caught in a bear trap I wouldn't be going anywhere. I was surprised I couldn't hear any screams. Only an occasional cartoonish laugh and the snap of a camera. The Bunny must be eating them before the kids could even manage a squeak of protest. In a way that was comforting. At least it might be quick.
Finally the moment had arrived. I was standing there, next to my mother, at the Easter Bunny ticket counter. A bored looking teenager with acne and bunny ears looked down at us.
Welcome to "The Bunny Trail," your Easter Bunny headquarters," he said in a monotone voice. "Which one of these adorable picture settings would you like to immortalize your child's Easter Bunny visit?"
He proceeded to rattle off a number of fanciful options and potential festive Easter backgrounds, if memory did not fail me; I believe my mother went with the standard option, a run of the mill smallish Kodak size picture of me and the Bunny. My mother was going to let this thing do God knows what to me, and she wouldn't even spring for the awesome larger picture with the baby lamb frame? At least then my death would have some meaning and dignity. Now it just seemed mean and pointless.
After the transaction was complete, and my mother had handed over her blood money, the bunny eared teenager took my hand and led me over to where the bunny sat slovenly on his feed trough chair, waiting to be fed. In my fascination of the picture money transaction, I had neglected to even watch what had happened to the child that went to his demise before me. I had been aware of him, but then he was gone. I hadn't seen the rabbit eat him, but the poor little bastard was gone now, no sign of him, so I assumed the rabbit must have been quick about it.
Its funny, the moment of calm that comes over us in our final moments. I've heard about bright lights, of hearing angelic voices, of life flashing before our eyes. I was roughly seven, I didn't have much of a life to flash, nor do I recall voices or lights. What I do recall was an odd floating sensation and peering up at those unblinking rabbit eyes with awestruck terror. They were like tractor beams, slowly drawing me closer to the bunny, hypnotizing me. It's mouth was frozen in a large mocking smile. I was done. There was no getting around it now. We all must face a death at some point in our lives, and here was mine, at seven years old, at the merciless hands of an abomination of the animal world.
I had to be lifted up onto the creature's furry knee. I don't really remember if it was because I couldn't climb up, or because by this point I was catatonic with fear. I like to think it was the latter. The bunny eared teenager lifted me and placed me on the Easter Bunny's knee, and then it all went momentarily black.
The next thing I recall with any degree of certainty was a cheery cartoonish laugh, a booming jovial chortle that seemed to resonate throughout the mall, zapping me back into consciousness and awareness. Looking up I saw the Easter Bunny peering down at me, its eyes aglow with primal hunger, it's mouth dangerously close to my seven year old head. He may have tried to converse with me. Any memory of this is gone, blocked out perhaps. If the bunny had tired talking to me, I have no idea what it could have been about. Santa asks what you want for Christmas, if you've been a good boy or girl, stuff like that. What could this fucker have asked me? "Are you ready to die, little boy?" Something like that perhaps? Whatever we may have talked about I can only guess at, but I knew there was only one thing to do. I began to cry.
I use the word "cry" fairly loosely, because it was much more than crying. It was a panicked, full body shriek. I thrashed about like a demon possessed entity. I made such a commotion that for a few moments, I don't think anybody knew what to do. Bunny Ear teenager was the first to make a move. He snapped my picture, and told my mother to take me home. I didn't stop crying until we were halfway home.
The picture of the Easter Bunny and I is still in my families possession. Its tucked away in a photo album in some dusty box in the basement of my parent's house. I'm crying my eyes out, and the Easter Bunny is posed uncomfortably, but my parent's held onto it for all these years. They held onto it because it's the only one they have. I never went back to visit the Easter Bunny, as much as they asked I never went back. I knew I was lucky.

If i get killed you'll never read this, but if you do read this either i was killed after i posted this or im fine. Ok I'm fine physically, but i hate to be alone at my house. especially upstairs. I wish my gram didn't leave. :(. Noone ever believes me when i say my house is haunted. except for maybe kari, beth, melissa, and kim. Kim and I saw it first hand. Ok, Kim was in the living room, watching tv, and I was in the kitchen, making food i think. Then kim likes Court, were you just in here? I said "No, I've been in the kitchen. Why?" "Oh it felt like someone was in here" Then I said jokingly "Yea my house is haunted" and 5 minutes go by, and i hear the vacuum start up so i look and the vacuum cleaner is rising, which is semi-normal because some vacuum are self-propelled. But the dirt devils ARE NOT. so yea i saw a dirt devil lift up by itself. Then Kim started to scream You're dead go away! Heh then the vacuum, just dropped to the floor. Freaky shit. Then i ran in and i said "I fuckin tolf you my house was haunted". True story! Holy cow, Pepper just scared the shit out of me. (Pepper is my cat) he just jumped on the chair just as i stood up. I didn't know it was him. Hmm yea he's on the chair and i just saw run past me out of the corner of my eye. nice. I'm kind of scared now. Eh it's probably the little boy ghost. I've seen him downstairs once before. But you probably think I'm delusional so im going to look at porn. lol.

This data may show how close to the precipice of recession our economy really is. The MasterCard Advisors Spending Pulse Report issued on Chistmas day said that sales in the two months before Christmas increased 0.7 percent, compared with last year. Many analysts had expected holiday sales to grow 3 to 4 percent.
The Spending Pulse data include sales by retailers in key holiday spending categories such as electronics, clothing, jewelry, luxury goods, furniture and other home goods between Oct. 28 and Dec. 24. They include sales across all payment methods, including cards, cash and checks.
Many retailers and consumer goods manufacturers generate about 40-60% of their annual sales during the two months prior to Christmas, and a weak holiday season translates into lower than expected sales that cannot be recouped until next year.

It's good to see that this year's shed of the year winner is a workshop/studio. Jon Earl's shed is an old First World War billet hut that's been turned into a venue for recording acoustic music so he's named it "Songs from the Shed"
Over 1000 songs have been recorded by bands from all over the globe in songs from the shed and there's a waiting list for people wanting to participate.
"Sometimes it's not the quality of the building itself but what you do with it that makes a National Shed of the Year winner" says Uncle Wilco from readersheds. The prize this year was £1000 and shedload of product from the Sponsors Cuprinol.

Santa Claus Is Coming To Attica Raceway Park
Sunday, 15 July 2007
By Brian Liskai
(Attica, OH)
The weather outside is delightful and the racing is so exciteable...and since he has no place to go, Santa will show, Santa will show, Santa will show....at Attica Raceway Park that is!
The "Jolly Ol' Elf" himself will travel south to "Ohio's Finest Racing" speedplant on Friday, July 20, to celebrate Christmas in July, thanks to Smith Family Frosted Foods.
Fans are encouraged to wear their Christmas colors - red and green - as they enjoy the night of fun at Attica, with some great racing in the World Auto Parts of Huron/Cleveland 410 Sprints, 305 winged sprints, Fultz Fabrications & Speedshop Attica Late Models and the dirt trucks. Over 90 fast and furious racing vehicles are expected to compete in over 15 racing events on the one-third mile banked oval.
And though he's officially on "vacation," Santa can't resist putting smiles on the faces of kids of all ages. The jolly ol' fella will have many gifts to pass out along with candy canes throughout the evening. At least one lucky fan will win a ride in the Attica "sleigh," leading the racing field in the Baumann Auto Group pace truck. One good little boy, and one good little girl (ages 10 and under) will receive a free bike thanks to Big D's Landscaping and Chris Andrews Racing.
Everyone - parents included - will enjoy Christmas in July at Attica Raceway Park. Adult general admission is only $14; senior citizens $12, teens 11-15 years of age, $10; and, as always, kids 10 and under are FREE!. Gates open at 5 p.m. and racing action heats up at 8 p.m.
Attica Raceway Park is located in the Attica Fairgrounds, just northeast of the U.S. 224/St. Rt. 4 intersection. For more information visit www.atticaracewaypark.com or call 419-680-5606.
Merry Christmas - in July - to all, and to all a fun night!

SOG SEAL Pup Elite with Sheath, Black is rated out of 5 by 3.Rated 5 out of 5 by DAVID M. from This is the type of knife that will last a lifetime. If I don't lose this knife, one of my children will be using it after I die. I gave my father's world war II Air Force survival knife to my eldest son and kept this knife for my self. A great knife that was just what I wanted!!Date published: 2013-05-18Rated 5 out of 5 by CLAY from Have not used the knives yet, but i'm sure they will do the trick :)Date published: 2012-12-28Rated 5 out of 5 by SAM from The SEAL Pup Elite is a great knive. It came well sharpened out of the box. It is well balanced and looks rugged. My knive fits in the sheath firmly and does not fall out no matter how much one shakes it. The notch for cutting strings does not really work. It seems like an after thought. However it probably acts as a ventilator or a drain hole. All said, this is a great buy.Date published: 2012-10-18

Whatever age we may be we tend to see what's missing in us, forgetting often to see what we truly have. Probably because that's what the world makes us see and hence our entire life goes in trying to be someone else, that someone we think the world wants us to be. But fact is we can only be who we are, who God really meant us to be.
And life always sends us an indicator, someone or something that makes us realize who we really are, and what we can make of our lives. Who we are is the best person we can ever be.

health matters
Posted by Dale Buss on August 22, 2012 05:54 PM
Sodium reduction is the cause du jour among nutritionists and policymakers who want to keep pushing the American diet in a better-for-you direction. The latest federal guidelines call for huge reductions in sodium content across the food chain to help battle hypertension and other maladies, and implicitly to make food taste less appealing -- and thereby to curb consumption.
Boston Market has just struck the latest in what is sure to become a growing list of blows against sodium input by crowing about plans to remove salt shakers from the guest tables at all 476 of its locations; you'll have to go to the beverage areas to get a shaker. It's also unveiling plans to cut sodium in signature dishes.
Clearing salt shakers from tables is a largely symbolic gesture, since relatively little of the salt that Americans consume comes right out of the shaker. Still, food-regulating interests hailed Boston Market's gambit. "I haven't heard of any other restaurant doing that," said Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, presumingly approvingly, to USA Today.

A Japanese Print Ad Made Out Of Oranges
A local newspaper in Shizuoka, Japan has teamed up with fruit producer Mikabi Mikan in creating a print ad that is made of oranges.
In Japan, where the Mikan orange is everyone's favorite, is the only item used in the advertisement.
Because the oranges were so easily available, the newspaper wanted to associated with this 'availability', hence the interesting concept.
The oranges were meticulously peeled and dissected, using everything from the skin to its pulp and juice to create the ad.

A Dickens Christmas for The Rockaways
The New Yorker 12.10.12
Lucinda Dickens Hawksley, the great-great-great-granddaughter of Charles Dickens and the author of "Charles Dickens: The Dickens Bicentenary 1812-2012," headlines a variety show celebrating Dickens and Christmas to benefit Rockaway, Queens, the beach neighborhood that was devastated by Hurricane Sandy. The evening includes appearances by the writers Colum McCann and Alphie McCourt (the youngest of that clan), the actors Cara Seymour and Michael McGlone, the Canby Singers and the great Irish rock and roller Joe Hurley, and Mary Norris, a copy editor at this magazine, who is a part-time Rockaway resident. (Dec. 6 at 7pm.)

New York Daily News 12.8.12

Reviews of Joe Hurley, Rogue's March, NEVER FEAR and CHASER
Joe Hurley & Rogue's March
- Outstanding Concert performances... Best of all was Joe Hurley's rumbling bass-baritone version of "Send In The Clowns" New York Times, October 2008 (Review of Public Theatre Gala Concert for Joe's Pub w/ Judy Collins, Jimmy Webb, Joe Hurley, Shawn Colvin)
- Joe Hurley shakes the Irish out of the Irish - and brings us all back together again. He's an old seanchai in a rock star's shoes, a poet of microcosm with a steroscopic vision, a balladeer with a whole lot of landscape in his voice. He sings out from the anonymous corners where the best stories are told. Chalk one up for the old songs, newly told. Hurley is one of the great songwriters of our time.
Colum McCann, 2009 National Book Award Winner for 'Let The Great World Spin' & best-selling novelist/author of Everything In This Country Must (made into Oscar-nominated film), Zoli, Dancer, This Side of Brightness, and others.
- Joe Hurley is a brilliant songwriter and a truly charismatic performer.
Paddy Moloney of THE CHIEFTAINS
- A wildly diverse act that manages to sew threads of punk, country and cabaret into an astonishingly cohesive sound... showcasing a star-powered front man in Joe Hurley.
- Combining the energy of early Social Distortion and the poetic destitution of the Pogues, New York's Rogue's March travels through red-light districts, jail cells, and one-night stands with the street-savvy swagger of men who have seen it all but still feel it most of the time. Along with Flogging Molly, Rogue's March have become favorites of Irish-loving Pogues fans; while the band is accompanied on occasion by uillean pipes, lap steel, and accordion, the fact rises more from gritty storytelling than inebriated instrumentation. Lead rogue Joe Hurley has an oddly seductive cigarette-thick snarl that keeps his wistful ballads rough and the rollicking sing-alongs durable. No doubt he is the kind of tough mug men depend on in a pinch and women worry about in the early morning hours; and that's exactly what you look for in drinking music-a singer who lets you smash chairs and sob about it later. The Rogues' latest release, CHASER, does all that and more, offering tangos, waltzes, jigs, and laments, amid a parade of New York-flavored rock that is aggressive, direct, and defiant. While Hurley clearly has the soul of a streetside confessor, he doesn't waste time on embellishment and pretensions. If he touches you and you bounce off the walls, so much the better.
San Francisco Weekly
- These New York City staples play Celtic-tinged rock with unshakable pop hooks, mixing accordion and guitars with mandolin and tin whistle. They celebrate drinking, depression, and strife like the Pogues do, with jigs thickly coated in black humor. Songs like "Shut Up and Drink" and "Amsterdam Mistress" (which rhymes "pints of Guinness" with "lots of slow kisses") make for perfect St Patrick's Day wallowing.
New York Times
- Like Tom Waits, with his gravel'n'whiskey intonations, Rogue's March front man Joe Hurley has mastered the saloon style with a baritone that sounds as ready for the next song as for a whiskey and a beer . . . Rogue's March is the kind of band that deserves some major recognition now. The word is good; pass it on.
New York Post
- Esteemed rocker Joe Hurley leads Rogue's March, a stately combo that uses New York's roots-rock cognoscenti to interpret the shape of traditional Irish music. Think urban sea chanteys sung by a more hearty Shane MacGowan.
Time Out New York
- Joe Hurley's voice sounds like the morning after a good bender on Guinness, whisky, heartache, and nicotine. And to fans of Rogue's March, the muscular punk-Irish-country-English music hall-cabaret-grunge band he fronts, that voice is pure gold . . . Whether it's the Kurt Weill-influenced "Bedsheets of Lily Marlene," the boozy, countrified "The Ghost of Her Husband to Be," or the grubby punk of "On My Way Home," the colorful characters that spring from Hurley's head are what give Rogue's March songs their sparkle.
The New Jersey Record
- Rogue's March's sound is based on Irish influences supercharged with a hard shot of punk, country and a little urban aggression. There ain't no room for the meek here . . . There is true magic on NEVER FEAR, from the upbeat screamers like "Shut Up and Drink" to the standout ballads like "Amsterdam Mistress," and the medley of influences works. Think of it as the Clancy Brothers meet Sid Vicious after a few pints of Guinness; still, Rogue's March turns up the heat in a very American way.
Philadelphia Inquirer
- The songs are great, suggesting the finest moments of the Mekons or the Pogues. Rogue's March has gathered a fast growing cult of fame throughout New York, and is just waiting for a spark to take them to even higher visibility.
CMJ Magazine, "Jackpot"
- At the Guinness Fleadh on Saturday, Joe Hurley and his large Celtic crew assaulted the Guinness-for-breakfast early birds with what would be one of the most talked about rock performances of the festival.
New York Post
- I came away with a new favorite New York band, Rogue's March, whose "Shut Up and Drink" is a sure party anthem for the end of the century.
The Austin Chronicle
- With the robust vocal stylings of front man Joe Hurley, the ebullient Rogue's March is one of New York's most entertaining outfits. Their new album CHASER is a showcase of the group's diverse repertoire - from roots-punk to cabaret to western pop-rock.
Village Voice
- The characters who inhabit London-Irishman Joe Hurley's songs would be just as at home in an Elmore Leonard novel. Hurley and his band, Rogue's March, recently recorded a CD on ARBAON Records called CHASER that flat out demands major label attention. Rogue's March smacks around punk, country, torch songs, and even a bossa nova with joyful aplomb. Pay special attention to the rough, poetic imagery of "If I was an Angel" and "Madcap Tears." But Rogue's March will always be a punk band at heart. They tear through "Gino' Suitcase" and "This Town" with the swagger and verve of The Ramones.
Irish America Magazine
- This garage-band quintet is abundantly blessed with the singular Irish trait of mining beauty from dreams blasted apart by bad luck and booze. Singer and chief songwriter Joe Hurley puts his coarse, whisky-stained trench coat of a vocal through a strikingly diverse array of story-songs, and somehow succeeds in keeping each tale distinct and vivid. Producer James Mastro deserves praise for repeatedly finding the sweet spot on CHASER, an ambitious, and quite excellent, disc.
Sound Views
- One listen to CHASER, the second cd from Irish-scene alums Rogue's March, and you'll be struck by the vivid imagery and rough poetic qualities of Joe Hurley's songs. Rogue's March joyfully mistreats punk, country, bossa nova, Irish-tinged ballads and beery torch songs with equal opportunity-all the while constructing tight sonic settings for the grand misfits who inhabit Hurley's songs. Indeed, CHASER, sparked by J-F's grungy overdriven guitar that recalls Keith Richards or Johnny Thunders throughout, features a cast of characters that would be equally at home in a Charles Bukowski novel.
Irish Voice
- Advance listens to CHASER show it to be worth the wait. Joe Hurley has that voice you know, the six pack/six-pack-a-day one that takes the sentimentality but not the sentiment out of the slow songs while keeping the humor in the rest . . . CHASER is a standout sophomore effort.
New York Press
- The potent mix of rock & roll, country, punk, and pop with a poetic Irish twist served up by the legendary NYC rock band Rogue's March is a delicious cocktail that I've been sipping on for months... Joe Hurley's voice, as heard on the band's brilliant CHASER, is a beautifully ragged instrument that is caked with whisky, nicotine, tar, and rust.
Irish Voice
- This New York outfit gives hints of Celtic melodies and rhythms a dash of ragged punk panache on their latest spirited release CHASER.
Daily News
Never Fear
- Rogue's March are a fantastic band who have managed to capture the same excitement they create during a show in a tight, raw, studio recording, NEVER FEAR. This 14 song collection is an exuberant package featuring a heap of memorable music. They are top players sitting on the edge of the bigtime.
New York Post 'CD Of the Week'
Joe Hurley - Live @ The Loser's Lounge
- One remarkable regular is Joe Hurley, the gravel-throated lead singer of Rogue's March, whose impossibly deep basso-profundo voice sounds like a chain-smoking army trudging across his vocal chords. Hurley's mesmerizing rendition of "Lalena" stunned the chattering crowd into silence.
Richard Younger, NEW YORK PRESS
- Joe McGinty and the Kustard Kings join Rogues March front man Joe Hurley to celebrate 10 years of show at "The Losers Lounge" and to pay tribute to some of the finest 70's Rock'n'Roll ever recorded Bowie's "Rock'n'Roll Suicide", Costello's "I Want You", "Maggie May" and more. It's all very "Exile on Main Street" sounding - boozy and sleazy. The Quireboys would kill to come up with something as authentic and with as much feel as this.
- Some performances stood out. Joe Hurley's raw interpretation of "All I think about is you", with Joe McGinty's solo piano accompaniment, conjured up closing time in a graveyard bar.
- Joe Hurley gave the under-age groupie ode, "She's Just 14", (off the Jagger/Richards produced 'Pay, Pack and Follow') the full 'Sticky Fingers' treatment. Astounding song.

Guns and children
Welcome To Chiraq: 82 shot, 14 killed
When is the U.S. Government going to step in? Last year, the U.S. sent other countries humanitarian and development funding that totaled $23 Billion! Also, $14 Billion was spent in foreign military assistance. The U.S. should secure it's turf before being so generous to other countries and their military! I wouldn't buy another child a pair of shoes while my child walked around barefoot. A small portion of those tax dollars could go towards removing guns off the streets of Chicago and providing alternative activities/programs for their youthLast year, we reported Rev. Meeks' choice to lead a campaign against homosexuality. ( Rev.Meeks Leads A Campaign Against Homosexuality/a> ) This year, Chicago shooting incidents have already surpassed last year's and we're only 6 months into the new year! Therefore, Rev. Meeks, whose church is located in Chicago, should have been more concerned with "the people" oppose to their sexuality. It's sad they're churches in the hood less than 2 miles apart from each other but the crime rate continues to rise. I'm not singling out Rev. Meeks but he's just an example of leaders who don't combat the issues in the community that truly affect "the people."
