Ivan Doroschuk: Men Without Hats, The Safety Dance, Touring, Boxing & More…..
September 26th, 2015
CEO
Exclusive Interview by “Bad” Brad Berkwitt
“Floyd Mayweather, JR. is one of the most boring boxers I have ever seen. The fact that he has been so dominant also illustrates why I lost a bit of interest in the sport.”—Ivan Doroschuck
In 1982, a Canadian band released their debut album (for you youngsters, they were around before CD’s) called “Rhythm of Youth” with Ivan Doroschuck as Lead Singer and his brother Stefan Doroschuck on guitar. The group also recruited Allan McCarthy, a percussionist. The band was “Men Without Hats”, and a song on that album called “The Safety Dance” became a smash hit in Canada, peaking at number #11 on the charts in May of 1983. From there, “The Safety Dance” went on to be an international hit, peaking at number #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, and having success in other parts of the world. A video accompanied this song, with Ivan, front and center in mid evil times, running around with a midget who had been seen in the movie “Willow”. The song was played heavily on MTV, VH1, and the old Friday Night Videos. You could tell Ivan enjoyed, at least from my viewpoint, doing the video and, as we say in the acting world, he popped on camera.
No Respect! Rodney Dangerfield’s Greatest One-Liners
September 24th, 2015
CEO Rodney Dangerfield, born Jacob Rodney Cohen, was one of my favorite comedians ever. Rodney’s “No respect” routine turned self-deprecation into an art form. What made his comedy especially brilliant was that one could hear his own personal insecurities in the material which made him believable as a performer. As a tribute to him, I’d like to share my own personal ten favorite Rodney Dangerfield one-liners.
The Twilight Zone: “One For The Angels” (1959)
September 24th, 2015
CEO I think it’s fair to say that most everyone, when their number comes up, would happily cheat death. The question is, how eager would you be to swap places with someone to spare them from the glacial clutches of the Grim Reaper?
For Lou Bookman, the answer to that conundrum was a no-brainer. A pitchman whose carry-case contains wind-up toys and neck ties, lotions and topical creams, his spiel may be growing wearisome to passersby on the busy city streets but Lou nonetheless has won a special place in the hearts of the neighborhood children who eagerly await his arrival every afternoon. One visitor to his home on a hot July at 3 p.m. who agrees, in a most official capacity, that Lou has worn out his welcome is none other than Death.

CEO The Twilight Zone: “The Midnight Sun” (1961)
September 16th, 2015
CEO The thermometer in Norma’s New York City apartment reads 110 degrees. And that is with the air-conditioner chugging along at maximum capacity during the interim between the mandated brownouts, as the depleted gas, water, and electrical supplies are rationed out to the remaining citizens or cut off altogether with greater frequency. The radio announcer reports humidity levels of 91% and tomorrow’s forecast being simply “hot”. With a forlorn voice he is unable to disguise, he adds “More of the same, only hotter.” Departing from his script, he goes on to say that you will be able to fry eggs on sidewalks and boil soup in the ocean and are left to seek help from wandering maniacs.

CEO Mega Riffs Vol 3: “Supernaut”
September 13th, 2015
CEO By Ian Murphy
In a repertoire literally jam-packed with killer riffs, English rockers Black Sabbath truly outdid themselves with this one. “Supernaut” brought the heaviness bar up more than a few levels. While not nearly as fat as “Mississippi Queen”, it actually defies gravity by also being cocaine-fueled mania turned into music. Never in my life have I heard a song that was this heavy, and this jubilant. Has there ever been a riff that was equal parts joy and aural brutality? No, I think not. Only Black Sabbath could do it.
