    In this week's Cleveland Scene Magazine, a free weekly paper in Cleveland with a huge circulation all
    across Northeast Ohio, I got the following review for my album, "Double Murder Suicide":

    "Double Murder Suicide is an unspeakably tasteless concept album about the death of the WWE's Chris
    Benoit, who killed his wife, son, and himself in June 2007. And it's a must-listen if you're even remotely
    interested in professional wrestling - which, like heavy metal, ballet, and coffee, is an admittedly
    acquired taste. Goldberg is a Cleveland multi-instrumentalist and law-school dropout, whose
    classroom training may come in handy if he has to answer for the presumably uncleared sound bites of
    the troubled grappler included here. At one point, Goldberg refers to Benoit's final meltdown as a
    "WrestleMania of love." The lo-fi rock has enough ambition and hooks to offset its total lack of polish."

    along with a picture of the cover art. There is also a link to my myspace page where the album is up for
    "sale" now (it is no longer free, but now $4), and at the time of this letter, the WWE has not yet
    contacted me about the uncleared (illegal) samples taken from their DVDs.

    On Nov.25th, I was fortunate to get to meet Ivan Koloff, Nikita Koloff, Mr. USA Tony Atlas, Magnum TA, and Jimmy “The Boogie Woogie man” Valient. All five were very friendly and gracious. Nikita (who spoke perfect English) seemed a little quiet and Magnum TA looked like he was still struggling from his accident. As a long time Valiant fan it was awesome to see him in person again.There was approx. 50 people there which was good see as it was announced on the 20th. It truly was a wrestling fans dream lineup. Heres a few pictures of them.
