Judas Priest in İstanbul

As İslamic fundamentalsm is spreading in Turkey (like Christian Coalition memberships are in rural Alabama) so is heavy metal music.

Can İron Maiden save the universe?

Those guys will not be in Turkey but Judas Priest will perform in İstanbul on Saturday (July 13).

Metallica will follow with an even bigger concert at İnonu Stadium (where soccer team Beshiktas plays) on July 27.

The Turkish daily Gunaydin had the following headline concerning Judas Priest:

THE GODS OF METAL ARE COMİNG TO İSTANBUL.

The band will be performing songs from their new album Nostradamus.

İ am actually going to be in another country this weekend as İ am preparing to go to Azerbaijan_ of all places.

İ hope İ will get the chance to update my travels from there as well.

Movie fans might be interested to know the latest İndiana Jones film was showing at the outdoor cinema on Buyukada last night. They will be showing The Bee Movie there over the weekend. The owner was disappointed that İ had seen most of the movies he plans to show over the few weeks back in North Carolina. İf the Turkish economy was better he may have decided to start letting me in for free.......!

 İ only wish gorgeous women like Uma Thurman liked me half as much as movie theatere managers around the world seem to. But perhaps İ can find myself a hot blonde in Azerbaijan.

Hmmmm...........maybe not!
