Maybe there is a God
Maybe there is a God, and maybe he really is a vengeful God.
The hurricanes are just too damn convenient, their effects so rich in metaphor, that a hidden hand cannot be counted out.
They potentially cripple the oil and natural gas that enable our ability to make war in the Middle East to secure our [...]
Cindy Sheehan Got Arrested Today
Watching Cindy Sheehan get arrested was one of the most inspiring things I’ve seen all day.

Hard at Rock
Note from the Proprieter
Howdy friends,
You may have noticed that the three or four posts after this message are repeats, and very OLD repeats at that.
When I first started this site, I ran it as a multitude of embedded blogs. I think my old man came up with that suggestion: I had one page for stories, one page [...]
!BLOWOUT!
BLOWOUT!
I am on my way to a gig in New York City when the driver�s side rear tire blows out, sending me hurtling with the hazards blinking into the breakdown lane, just before exit 11 on the New Jersey Turnpike, near the Hess building, where the Turnpike meets the Garden State Parkway. There is [...]

I forget the name of the one [...]

Like Nero with his fiddle, Bush pretended to play guitar while New Orleans drowned.
Here in Philadelphia, REAL guitar pickers joined with promoters and club-owners by putting together a citywide benefit to benefit the victims.

I don’t think so. And that’s why I get [...]
