While living and working in Edinburgh in 2008 I set out to write one million words in 366 days... but only managed 800,737.

Wyndorf Addendum

According to my StatCounter, the two most common searches that have bought people to my blog over the last few weeks are:
* Dave Wyndorf Fat (39 visitors)
* Dave Wyndorf Got Fat (6 visitors)

There were another 13 visitors whose searches varied slightly in wording but not intent and wound up here.

Most came from Eastern Europe.

So: Tervist / Hei / Ahoj, mano geri draugai!

Anyway, I thought I'd post this video for all the concerned parties curious for updates in Mr Wyndorf's weight.

No, not a current photo (that'll come once I'm back from Riga), but a video from 1998.

Dave's big black laced-up balloon suit was a dig at Missy Elliot (specifically this video), but ten year's on, it looks pretty prophetic:








I should make it clear once more that it's only with peace and love that I post this (though I just had a dig at Ringo Starr there); as a fan; as a student of the ups and downs of life. Peace and love, peace and love.

You are exactly right, I am from eastern Europe, Poland precisely, and I ended up here, searching for explanation what happened to Dave.
I was amazed how he looks these days.
Monster Magnet are going to play in Krakow (polish city), and I was considering the purchase of tickets, but after seeing them in, how to put this, not so top disposition, I think I will pass.

PS."Dave's big black laced-up balloon suit was a dig at Missy Elliot (specifically this video), but ten year's on, it looks pretty prophetic" - this is just cruel, but pretty funny ;)

Looks can be deceiving. I saw Monster Magnet play in Riga, Lativa a couple of months after I posted this video and it was fantastic. Here's what I wrote after the gig: http://yearofamillionwords.blogspot.com/2008/11/monster-magnet-w-pilgrim-fathers-and.html.

So if you have the chance to see them in Krakow or anywhere else, take it!
