I meant to post something political today, but I have been deeply touched by the loss of Pink Floyd’s Richard Wright, who died yesterday at the age of 65.
It is a sad, sad time for all of us for whom Pink Floyd means so much.
If you’d like to read my lengthy personal reflections on Wright [...]

I woke up to a real case of the blues today, hearing the news about Ted Kennedy. Needless to say, the day is done and I “Still Got The Blues“:

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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.

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 [...]
