THEY MUST PERFORM....EVEN AT 95! After more than a decade of Riot Fest trying to get him to perform, William Shatner is finally saying yes. The Star Trek legend, 95, will make his Riot Fest debut on Sunday, Sept. 20 at Chicago’s Douglass Park, where he’ll take the stage with his newly formed heavy metal band, The *uckers, marking the group’s first-ever live performance. Known for embracing the bizarre, the festival announced Shatner’s addition alongside an intentionally outrageous artist rider that mixes legitimate backstage requests with impossible demands directed at the city of Chicago itself.

The only Benny I have ever known is Benny the Ball from Top Cat. The moniker does not refer to an obscene act or a plate of eggs. It is, in fact, a tribute to my paternal grandfather. When we were children, my grandfather did not curse. Instead of saying "that no good son of a bitch", he would say, "that no good dirtybenny." Years later as I relived my time as a child with my grandparents, I remembered that term and fondly, I rekindle it each day through this blog. I also find it revealing the that the abbreviation, db, that I use as a sigil is a reflection of itself, a palindrome. I think this indicates my Gemini sun sign.
