Rufus Thomas is pretty great. He sings songs about the little things in life. And every one of those little things is somehow "funky." Here is a partial list of funky things, according to Rufus Thomas ( Read more... )

Last night's show was pretty great. It was honestly the most laid-back show I think we've ever done--so much so that it felt like a rehearsal instead of a show. It was a funny one. I didn't know we were supposed to start, so we were all standing on stage for a couple of minutes before I said, "Are we ready to start?" The whole audience and the ( Read more... )

I found something about two weeks ago that I can't stop using. It's www.last.fm and it's a website that tracks everything you listen to and puts it on the internet for all to see.

Last night's Grammy Awards are why I stopped watching the Grammys a long time ago. The Red Hot Chili Peppers won for rock album of the year over the Raconteurs? The Dixie Chicks won anything at all, much less FIVE? Don Henley gets his own tribute, while Booker T. & The MGs just have to sit there and smile? And I missed the Police ( Read more... )

Let's see if this vanishes.

I've had three entries or so vanish in the last few days. Some jerk is gonna pay.

I am starting to miss cheeseburgers. I know I shouldn't, because they are like shotgun shells made of beef, but they sure do taste good. I guess this is a good thing, because now cheesy, beefy goodness will be a treat instead of a lifestyle for me ( Read more... )

Burt Bacharach had a daughter with Angie Dickinson. Didja know?

Didja know she committed suicide? Apparently she had Ass Burger's Disorder. And, apparently, her friends knew a lot about what she liked:
