The latter. Sounds good, though. They were a great band. He was on a couple of talk shows recently promoting his new album and he talks with the accent then too.

I used to have a customer up the street, so I know where that is. Those cranes are dangerous. They're always falling down and killing someone. .

that link aloc used is going to age, here's what happened: March 15, 2008 Tall Crane Collapses in NYC; 4 Dead By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 6:13 p.m. ET NEW YORK (AP) -- Mayor Michael Bloomberg said four people have died in a Manhattan crane accident Saturday. The crane, mounted to the side of a skyscraper under construction, toppled with a roar, smashing into a block of apartment buildings and setting off a scramble for survivors in the rubble. The collapsing crane demolished parts of several buildings on Manhattan's East Side, appeared to have pulverized one small, brick apartment building, and sent up a huge dust cloud over the neighborhood. An intensive, but delicate rescue operation was under way to free anyone still trapped in the rubble. Firefighters searched piles of rubble, several stories high, looking for victims, according to television reports. John PlaGreco, who owns Fu Bar in the crushed building, said he feared one of his employees was dead in the rubble. ''Our bar is done,'' he said. ''The crane crashed the whole building. If I wasn't watching a Yankees game, I would've come to work early and gotten killed.'' About 19 of the 44 stories of the high-rise condominium had been erected, and the crane was scheduled to be extended Saturday so workers could start work on a fresh story, said an owner of the company that manages the construction site. A piece of steel fell and sheared off one of the ties holding it to the building, causing it to detach and topple, said Stephen Kaplan, an owner of the Reliance Construction Group. ''It was an absolute freak accident,'' Kaplan said. ''All the piece of steel had to do was fall slightly left or right, and nothing would have happened.'' Kaplan said the company had subcontracted the work to different companies and was not in charge of the crane. He wasn't sure if any workers at the site were among those killed. Neighborhood residents said they had complained to the city several times about the construction at the site, saying crews worked illegal hours and the building was going up too fast. Nearby residents reported hearing a terrible roar as the structure detached from the condominium. ''First I heard a rumble, and it increased, and then it increased,'' said Bill Reilly, who lives a block away. ''It continued building in strength until there was a final vroom! It shook the six-story brick building that I live in.'' The crane split into pieces as it fell. Part of it came to rest against an apartment tower, smashing into its upper floors. That building and others in the area were evacuated. Another piece hit other buildings on the block, ripping away walls and ceilings and crushing the small brick building. Witnesses reported a strong smell of gas in the area on 51st Street near 2nd Avenue. Gas utility Consolidated Edison said it shut off service to area buildings. Ben Galati, 54, said he was in the basement of a high-rise apartment building across the street where he is a doorman. ''I heard a rumble outside. I said 'Let's get out of here!' And then the crane came down. A split second later, I heard an explosion,'' he said. Maureen Shey, who lives diagonal from the building where the crane collapsed, said she was on the phone laying on her bed when she saw the giant white crane heading straight for her windows. ''I heard a big crash, and I saw dust immediately. Bricks were flying through the air. I saw the whole thing. I thought the crane was coming in my window,'' she said. The crane ended up missing her building.

...and many more! .

CCR is OK I guess. After a lifetime of hearing their hits, I sure am sick of them (the hits). John Fogerty grew up in the SF Bay area. Where did he get that accent from? Is that a real accent or is it a phony one he adopted for the music? .

It's rock and roll!

Nice! I have a pair of Teles, but I'd like one with a 9.5" radius fingerboard. There's already the Nashville Tele with three pups, this one costs a little less. I think maybe the only difference may be the pickups. That does looks real slick.

oh...there was a controversy? .

who? .

Which is...what? .

Have you been drinking again Bill? He may be drinking but he's also deleting his posts. I saw that too. WTF... From what I understand, the venue gave away press tickets, but Zorn asked the press not to review. He may not have had any control over free tickets.

up I've been listening to Leib & Wayne lately. I should dig up some Garland, I know I have some. .

With all the bitching and complaining that's gone on, guess it wasn't so obvious to some folks. true! .

obviously. .

All he has to do is keep the "in demand" titles in print. I doubt there's much time or work involved other than coming up with the cash to press up a new round.
