I just found out that Steve Earle is touring with the DUKES again this summer...and playing a lovely theater 45 minutes away from me. Yay! I've been dying to see Steve play electric again since I saw him with the Dukes in 2000 or so. http://steveearle.com/tour.html My own olde-timey/lefty/folky outf...

Getting around to watching stuff I should've seen years ago...this weekend Milk and Frost/Nixon. I'm also catching up on Showtime's series Weeds.

And what exactly, or who, is his "dog"?

Song: Dunno. Some crap by Journey. I think. Artist: Journey. I think. These guys do not do it for me. I might even go so far as to say that I'm pretty sure they sucked. Did people really spend money to buy this? I always wondered the same thing. The only time I saw Journey was when they opened for ...

I guess the misconception comes about because Beck is seen on the Fox NEWS Channel. That whole thing about being careful not to mistake what you see on a NEWS Channel as "NEWS" is fine print I'm afraid a LOT of Beck's followers have not read.

"...and why can't you just admit that Barack Obama is one efficient, steely-nerved, multi-tasking black ninja gangsta president..." http://s-ak.buzzfed.com/static/imagebuzz/web03/2011/5/2/0/obama-fuck-yeah-27964-1304309567-25.jpg It's funny...cuz it's TRUE! http://forums.barrelhorseworld.c...

Here's how it is, Rich...America won one. It's so rare that it happens. Obama's OUR President. We're not in bed with him. He done good. USA! USA! y'know? Spin it however you want, OBL is dead and that's good for everybody.

If I had to guess, I'd say he's about 29. Happy Birthday!

... It's being reported Osama was killed a week ago and the DNA evidence just came in. Why release this at 11pm on a Sunday East Coast time? Don;t make much sense to me. Ooh, ooh, it must be a conspiracy! Doubtless NJR will tell us what it all means when Fox News have worked it out. As the news sta...

It happened on the President's watch. He gets the credit. That's how it works. Like it or not.

And you're mad because he told America the second he knew for sure? Amazing.

How's your search for Obama's college transcripts going?

I'm dying to see Rich's take on this evening's "Mission Accomplished" moment.

Yes, I'm WAY behind in watching movies...I liked this a lot.

Well, good. At least they can't whine in the press about being ignored by you. I thought TA were pretty good myself. And Amy Klein is adorable! But this tempest in a pisspot is ridiculous. Seriously, Philip, next time hire my band - I PROMISE we won't trash you in the Guardian afterwards. There will...

Today I learned something, which I probably should have known anyway. I learned that I Fought The Law was not written by The Clash at all as I originally thought, but by Sonny Curtis. Normally, I look at album covers to see who did what, but in this case I didn't and always thought that it had been...
