Late Night: Open All Night

I remember the days when I used to enjoy staying up late or even finding a place to go that was Open All Night. These days, I’m happy to turn in a lot earlier than I used to. But for those looking a for a place that’s Open All Night… Here’s the ticket from Bruce […]

More Sunday Late Night: Prince… “Coachella, I am here”

I was going to add this to my Sunday Late Night post below, but I think it deserves a post of it’s own. As I noted in the post below it was hot, hot, hot in SoCal this weekend, but the heat was really turned up in the desert when Prince took the stage at […]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Ah, Super Tuesday. The talking heads will be all atwitter watching the polls in 22 states and waiting to see which Democrat/Republican comes out on top at the end of today’s primary bonanza.
There will be a news blackout in this house (as always) until after 10pm. I can’t stand play-by-plays, so watching the talking heads […]

The Latest in Celebrity Endorsements

There was a new round of celebrity endorsements on Monday for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Now I love both of these guys. They are two of my favorite actors and as it is we all know that different candidates appeal to different people. So I guess I’m with Jack on this one.
Skippy has the […]

Feminism, and a Blues Apology

There is a lot of violence in the world, a lot of physical assault and murder, and a lot of hateful abuse.
Many times folks on the left treat a statement like that as a picture of something far away, something going on in countries ruined by imperialism and corporate rapaciousness and other sinister institutional evils. […]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

It’s still January and yet, I am sick to death of politics.
Sadly, the primary wars are just like major car wrecks: you can’t help but stop and take a quick peek, no matter how gruesome the carnage may be.
The same can be said for my penchant for watching bad musical movies. And it’s not […]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

My internet connection was down on Sunday evening/Monday morning, so I was unable to get out my round-up in a timely manner.
But, I’m back and ready to go despite the busy, yet, hugely successful weekend that just ended (Dizzy plus one microphone plus 400 people = &%$# awesome!).  Too bad it wasn’t a political rally […]

Bono Talks to “Father” Al About Global Warming

AFP ran a very amusing story today about Al Gore and Bono at the World Economic Forum in Davos, discussing Global Warming.

Apparently, Bono has confessed that “having climate campaigner Al Gore round to your house is to open yourself to a self-flagellating guilt trip.”

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Never one to do anything half-way, I am preparing to work for the next three days and still feeling like Mother Nature does not like me very much. But, the show must go on, as they say.
It kind of reminds me of what my grandmother used to tell me when I was young, “If […]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Thursday, Thursday, Thursday! My favorite day of the week. I get to be the center of attention. I get to sing all night. I get entertained by sobriety-challenged singers. AND…I get paid for the privilege! Yes, I have a semi-charmed life.
Just to give you an idea of what I […]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Bummer! It’s only Tuesday. There’s so much going on in my world right now, combined with the other stuff going on in the rest of the world, I am so ready for the weekend!
I have news of my own, but I am still digesting it. I promise that as soon as my head shrinks back […]

99 Problems But A Bitch Ain’t One??

There’s some controversy over whether this is true or not, that an after victory party for Obama was blaring Jay-Z’s 99 Problems, but apparently as both Taylor Marsh and Politico point out, the Obama camp has not called for a retraction and they were given days to confirm or deny. The story from The New York Post is that as […]
