he never betrays what he thinks
Ed Vedder escorts Pearl Jam to the stage at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion to wage war with thine eardrums.
Mike McCready loses his mind and Jeff Ament divines John Entwistle.

had enough for another
the illing Dave Grohl is a professional rocker and it's not in his nature to call in sick. as if the incendiary "Young Man Blues" wasn't enough, the Foo Fighters cover The Who's "Bargain" with vocal assist by Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes. Watch out...
no more to give
vh1 rock honors the who opened with an ill Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters covering The Who's "Young Man Blues" with reckless abandon. He gave it everything his body and soul could muster. "When a young man was a strong man"

I'm all sixes and sevens and nines
When I was two years old these guys were out doing their thing in the south of France. And why not? Their debauchery is our debauchery some 36 years later. Thank goodness for Nellcôte. Thank goodness for British tax laws. Thank goodness for chef boyardee.
Well, funnily enough, this year I've listened to (Stones albums) more than ever, because they all came out on CD... (T)he ones that impressed me were the ones I always thought were superior - Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed. And Sticky Fingers. And Exile. There's so much stuff on Exile that even I'm surprised. I can't even remember all of it: Oh yeah. Did I write that? - Keith Richards, 1987, asked about his favorite Stones albums

Take me down little Susie, take me down
Josh Hamilton of the MLB Texas Rangers, a former heroin addict and first round draft pick by the Tampa Bay Rays, just put chills down me spine. He stood at the plate as the last batter of the All Star Home Run Derby with 71 year old Clay Council( a volunteer who threw bp to a young Josh Hamilton) at the mound to throw pitches a 71 year old arm can throw.
Josh put 28 balls out of fabled Yankee Stadium. This is a Home Run Derby record. Cynics hint at methadone induced slugger power; Hamilton gives Jesus Christ His Savior as his tatted rippling forearm power, immaculate timing, and butter stroke. Regardless, the numbers speak like God to Moses. The Burning Bush by the numbers:
28 home runs.
445 feet average distance
518 feet longest distance
12,458 feet cumulative distance (2.359 miles)
the next best was 8 home runs...
He hit four home runs that nearly cleared those bleachers -- and one that bonked off the bottom of the distant Bank of America sign, 502 feet from where he was standing, sending 53,716 witnesses into complete apoplexy.
"He hit that sign," Rangers teammate Ian Kinsler said, "and that ball just disappeared. And it was like it was gone forever. I kept looking at that sign, and I was thinking, 'There's not a chance I could probably hit that thing from second base.'"
(editor's note: Hamilton did not win the HR Derby but who the Hades cares? He did however apply salve to the wounds of all recovering heroin addicts with dreams of big league comebacks)

roger you roundly
this post comes to you courtesy of the good folks at Great Lakes Feed & Grain
the name Fred Garvin popped into me head just moments ago and I felt it would behoove me to share his experience with you. so I says to myself, "Might as well be..."
Margot Kidder is Fred's huckleberry in this particular episode of "Fred Garvin: Male Prostitute". As it turns out, Margot Kidder is also bipolar and roundly crazy. Which is nice.
