Harrison Ford.

$30 and an 80-mile roundtrip drive. If Ligeti was on the program, I'd be there even if I had to panhandle.

The Takács Quartet is playing Atlanta this weekend. It's a 3-B event (Bartok, Beethoven, Borodin). Go? Not go? It would be easier to decide if I hadn't just picked up tickets for Lovano's Nonet and the McCoy Tyner + Pharoah Sanders + Ravi Coltrane gigs. The Takács Quartet recording of Bartok's six is wonderful.

Hey, you're alright!

Martin Sheen has something to say...

Romanian Snausages! The Doggy Treat that Can't Be Beat (anymore)!

and filing the paperwork to legally change his name to Constantina.

Just a pair of gap-toothed, old-n-busted queens trying to fill the media whore void that Princess Diana left in the world. Met Nigel Olsen in a hardware store in po'dunk Alpheretter twenty-five years ago. Asked him if he had change for a five. He didn't. And he had a solo hit in the top twenty at the time.

PHILLYQ already listed my favorite line. I've always liked the way B. B. King delivered the following lines: The iceman came by this morning And you know he didn't leave no ice The postman came by later baby And he didn't even ring twice I think you've been cheating on me I think you're running out on me I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some outside help That I don't think I really need Now, I want you to tell the iceman The next time he'd better leave some ice And I want you to tell the postman He'd better ring more than twice And when I come home from work in the morning Better still be some groceries on the shelf. I want to tell that slick insurance man That he'd better write some insurance on his self.

What about Small Faces?

I'll third it.

Somehow I don't see this dog winning any hunting trophies.

Penguin jazz?

The next time you read about this kid will be after his mother leaves him in a locked car in a Wal-Mart parking lot next August. It will also be the last time you read about him.

Great dialogue. The Dude : That's a great plan, Walter. That's fuckin' ingenious, if I understand it correctly. It's a Swiss fuckin' watch. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dude : Jesus, man, could you change the channel? Cab Driver : Fuck you man. If you don't like my fuckin' music get your own fuckin' cab! The Dude : I had a rough... Cab Driver : I pull over and kick your ass out! The Dude : Come on, man. I had a rough night and I hate the fuckin' Eagles, man!

The CD Miniature by Tim Berne, Joey Baron, and Hank Roberts. A lot of my Berne's have come from eBay.

When did Art Blakey play the Grand Old Opry?

They're saying a bassist had two gigs on the same night? C'mon - if they're going to make up a story, they should have at least made it believable. (I kid, I kid - always wanted to be bassist, couldn't handle the intonation.)

No lederhosen, but it looks like Dave found the pants to go with that shirt...

Buddy Rich: Mercifully Stylish

He may have thought Bart Simpson was voiced by a real child and figured he'd best stay away completely. Favorite headline from the Onion: Pete Townsend Can't Explain

Dave Brubeck is going Back Home to find a less busy shirt that doesn't clash with those red overalls. BTW: Jerry Bergonzi's Caravan solo from this recording is absolutely killing.

'Sup Dave! The other three have made (separate) appearances. One reunion that didn't happen - when Homer went to see BTO, Bachman and Turner shared the stage and had speaking parts but in the 3D, non-animated world, they recorded their voicework on separate days to avoid each other. Doubt if Yoko will make an appearance. Sayeth Homer, "Ewww, she totally ruined the Plastic Ono Band!".

Stewie: "Look here. You’re obviously taking us for saps, but we’re not. Now fess up or I’ll do to you what I did to John Lennon!" [flashback] "John have you met Yoko? Yoko, John."
