What I ate for lunch and dinner.

I was originally going to title this "Blog on Blog" to sound like Dylan's Blonde on Blonde LP. But, I thought the "action" sounded sexier. And as Nigel Tuffnel said in Spinal Tap "What's wrong with being sexy?" So, I …

Musician Stew is praised.

Okay, before the letters come in, that is a band. They're from L.A. and called The Negro Problem. Their singer sometimes goes solo, with bassist/partner-in-crime, Heidi. His name is Stew. I didn't think I'd ever want to just write in …

Being angry about court cases.

Ha! I tricked you. I got you to read, thinking it's about that rap producer dude, when this is really a Phil Spector rant. Okay, well, Spector did make me appreciate Knight more. When Suge fought, it was with other …

Going to L.A. to see Nick Lowe, and how songwriters get rich.

So, my buddy Doug is trying to get me to go up to L.A. Tuesday to see Nick Lowe in concert. Who is he, you ask. Well, he had this great pop song in the late 70s called "Cruel to …

A quick thought on reality shows

I used to make fun of all my friends that recorded their reality shows. Survivor, the few minutes I saw, was corny as hell; seeing who could stand the longest on a poll, and then putting out the flame. The …

Columnists that suck, and getting revenge on people.

Sometimes it's painful reading other columnists in other cities newspapers. You wonder how they got the gig. My current favorite guy to hate, is this Gene Washington who took over for Dave Barry (who was great). He is funny about …

Curious about gambling problems

So, I'm heading to Vegas for the weekend. There's supposed to be a storm. That'll make traffic fun. A guy I play racquetball with, told me his ex-wife had a gambling problem. The woman he's dating now, started going to …

Why some commercials get banned.

So, Carls Jr. pulled their commercial, where the kids in class do a rap about "flat buns" as an attractive teacher talks about the world being flat. A lot of teachers were upset. I'm not sure why. There are worse …

Everyone complains about their job. I'm complaining about my music stories that have gotten turned down.

I always get cool jobs. When I was in radio for 5 years, it was free concerts, CDs, and...talking on the radio and being paid. When I was between jobs, and freelance writing, my friend was doing music for Playstation …

OJ Simpson's current plight, and other legal things that pop into my mind.

Okay, so...everyone is sick of talking about the OJ case. Not me. Hell, I was still talking about the last OJ case when this recent scenario hit the airwaves. I think the Palace Station Casino should sell shirts that say …

Competitiveness in sports

Why do adults act like children, when it comes to competing in sports events? And, I won't even get started on when they watch their 8-year-olds play little league. I stopped playing basketball, because of the amount of idiots I'd …

Grocery Store Parking Lot Problems

So, moving out of the grocery store, and into the parking lot, is a whole other mess. First, let me quickly say...Horton Plaza has spaces for pregnant women. How insane is this? If a woman is in good enough condition …

Grocery store problems with customers

I won't even get into the 12 items or less lines. I think that is more the fault of the store employee for not calling the jerk on it, or other people in line. But, I will say, if you …

Commenting on other peoples groceries

I recently grew a beard. I wanted to see how many strands of white hairs I'd have in it. But, when I was shaving recently, I would pick up any kind of disposable razors I saw. I wasn't picky. When …

Old people being scammed

I was leaving the house today, and heard the newscaster say there was a story coming up on an old person that recently got scammed out of money. Now, am I jerk, since I have no sympathy when this happens? …

People performing badly in competitions (beauty pagaents), and getting famous from it.

Why does everyone try to justify others stupidity? When that 18 year old Miss Teen was trying to answer that question about a stat that said 1 in 5 Americans can't find the United States on a map, and she …

My opinion of Van Morrison.

Is there anything greater than hearing Van Morrison on the radio? Oh damn. I started that like one of those lame columns Larry King does, where he has non-sequitars about the stupidest stuff. He'll have a sentence that reads: Is …

Documentary and fantasy football ideas.

For the 20th straight year, we had our fantasy football draft. This is the most addictive thing around for football fans. Aside from just having your team (the Chargers) to root for, you now have a bunch of other players …
