Bush Regales Dinner Guests With Impromptu Oratory On Virgil's Minor Works

Sorry I've been taking a while with the bites, lads. I've been ripping my infrastructure apart for the last month and have gotten it somewhat stabilized. First should be the 5/24 jam and then the 6/23 jam. Snoofed

I was in a Van Halen mood over the weekend and stumbled on this site with some great, albeit poor quality, old videos of them: http://www.classicvh.com/cgi-bin/imageFolio.cgi?direct=Video_Archive/Live_Videos Check out Ice Cream Man for some serious David Lee stupidity and Hang Em High for speed rock. Michael Anthony is a great bassist and backup singer and Eddie is incredible. As much as DLR gets goofed on, the band is just so hot. There is a classic interview in Japan on the home page of the site, too.

I was in the mood to do some graphics, so here's what resulted:

Here's an amusing little site I came across the other day: http://www.buckfush.com Also, check out this animation from another Johnson, no less! How's that for the lattice of coincidence, Stu? http://www.jameswjohnson.com/movies/bushman.htm

This tickled me fancy today: from artist Jeff MacNelly

INDEPENDENT LENS / END OF THE CENTURY / THE RAMONES & JOE STRUMMER ROCKS AGAIN! / Tuesday, April 26th at 10 PM The Ramones defined punk rock and inspired generations of musicians. But behind the scenes, the hardest-working punk band was falling apart. The second part of this program, JOE STRUMMER ROCKS AGAIN!, follows the frontman for The Clash on a comeback tour of America and Japan before his untimely death in 2002. http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/

Bush: 'I Don't Want You Reading My Personal Stuff' WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush said on Thursday he does not send e-mail, not even to his twin daughters, because he fears "my personal stuff" would be made public. "There has got to be a certain sense of privacy," he told the American Society of Newspaper Editors. For more.. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20050414/wr_nm/bush_email_dc

Did you guys catch this Metallica doc? I watched it Saturday night on VH1. It's like a true to life Spinal Tap. Basically, Metallica became a big money machine for the record company. There was a bunch of infighting, so the company hired a psychologist to hang out with them over a period of a couple years. Check it out if you have the time. Note: Lars' dad is one scary Dane.

Thanks for coming out, boyce. Too bad Masters Sweet, Trebor and Cosmic couldn't make it. I should have the tunes for you by the end of the weekend. We should try to do it more often. NickDub has a grad party jam coming up on the May 17th (or was it 18th?), so keep that in mind. And good pool suggestion T-Bonk! I hadn't played since Brooklyn days. It was fun! Finally, the extra $2.50 ya'll paid for the room last night is going to $99 Fatcow hosting fee which just came due. Thank you for your pig patronage.
