yeah Tim Curry (Dr. Frankenfurter himself,) I prefer the Bonamassa version but Dick Wagoner wails on this on guitar, tasty solo.

Utah is great if your not planning to visit a bar.

I know what you mean. I was in Ogden in 2002 training a National Guard unit just outside of Sulfer Springs (I think). Near Ogden anyway.

there are plenty of bars in Utah i manage to get drunk without a problem.

The great thing about St George is that it's so close to Mesquite. Within 20 minutes or so and you drop thousands of feet for drmatic changes in weather. I've been to Mesquite several times in winter for the desert dirt riding. The last time I was there we passed through a blizzard just south of Salt Lake City and endured it until we started down the hill from St George. By the time we got to Mesquite we were glad we brought our shorts and golf clubs.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

I used to work in the golf business and sometimes I'd be walking down the steps to the pro shop at 5am after cursing the heavens for having to be up that early. I'd stop and look around at where I was standing and hear silence other than some birds or small animals scurrying around and realize that things were actually pretty good. It's cool to stop and smell the roses as they say.

Really? I was told that I had to purchase a membership to drink at a bar. Another told me that I had to order food if I wanted to buy a drink. Maybe its just how they treat out of towners.

you no longer have to have a membership in any bar in Utah they just passed the law on that last year

It did seem to me that Utah beer was lacking a little octane. I think the alcohol percentage was less than other places. I could be wrong. There was an awesome micro brewery in Ogden that had awesome brew and the "Polygamist" burger.

I really would like to live there some day.
