Crashing on a Bicycle
A few things I don't understand. With her recently inking a reality show deal (it's now official), after, of course, saying that would be "exploiting the kids" in previous interviews....I wonder if the state can take the kids, claiming THAT is not a safe environment for them (reality show environment). Or, if the state and/or hospital can take all the money she makes, to go towards these medical bills, which she created herself.— April 2, 2009 10:23 a.m.
Eddie + Alcohol = Air guitar
About four years ago, I was invited to a swingers party. I had three parties that night, and my car broke down on the way there, and I was only able to make it to one. But yeah, that would be crazy fer sure.— April 1, 2009 4:54 p.m.
A Real Life Spiderman
You know what, anti? You're actually right. Now that I think about it, he was pretty respectful of them, actually. I guess it's just the point of it. The fact that he's going to go there, with people that obviously don't have the highest IQs in the world, and even question their faith. It seemed like a low blow, but yeah, he was nice about it. Even when that one trucker got heated, and was ready to sock him one.— April 1, 2009 4:53 p.m.
Merch Girl
This was a great read. A few of my favorite merch people: This gorgeous gal working for The Raveonettes. She was as pretty as the blonde singer, and a great accent to boot. There were only 40 people at 'Canes watching the show, so nobody flirting with her (other than perhaps me). The merch guy working for Doors guitarist Robby Kreiger (Doors guitarist). I bought a shirt, and we were talking about our favorite songs. He then said, "Oh, I gotta go!" I said, "Go? Where? The show isn't over." He then got up on stage, and sang Moonlight Drive and another song, which he played harmonica on. Now, that's getting a lot of use out of your merch guy. The dude working the booth at Belly Up for Stan Ridgway, I remember as working for Arthur Lee and Love. We caught up on how insane Lee was. He told me some great stories, including the fact that Lee wrote a 1,000 page book he hoped to publish (but it was all ramblings of a bizarre nature). And lastly, the woman working the merch booth at 'Canes when I went to see Juliana Hatfield. I was trying to decide which shirt to buy, and she said "I drew the picture on that one." I then said, "Uh...are you Juliana?" Turns out, it was her. And, she works her own merch booth before the show starts. Times are tough...even for the musicians!— April 1, 2009 3:54 p.m.
Ignorant Slut?
The current CCR, for the longest time, had a member of The Cars (Elliot Easton??...someone like that). And a singer that sounded enough like John to make it work.— April 1, 2009 3:50 p.m.
Invaded
Exactly how I felt regarding I Love You, Man. It surprised me that one of the Ben's on the review show that replaced Roeper & Ebert, claim this was a perfect script. It was far from that. It was a slightly disappointing movie, that had its moments (the ones you mentioned being a few). And, although Segel did keep his pants on, you could argue that it was actually more gross that he kept them on, and explained what a section of his recording studio was used for.— April 1, 2009 3:39 p.m.
A Real Life Spiderman
TFB...I thought when Rick was saying those things, I had heard them before. It was still funny to hear him say it, with his giggly, chubby face. He's hysterical. I did think it was funny, when discussing two recent documentaries with the Christians...they all saw Ben Steins film. But not Bill Mahers. To me, that's odd. It's like a Republican listening to Rush Limbaugh, just because they want a windbag that says the things they feel. Now, I saw Mahers documentary, and it had its moments. But I didn't care for him insulting some of the people that felt strongly about their religion (ie the truckers that had a chapel off the freeway they stopped at). But yeah, Fred should have a few comments on this.— April 1, 2009 3:23 p.m.
Crashing on a Bicycle
Exactly, magic. We're all confused. She had $150,000. And, her medical bills are now well over a million bucks (which she, for some reason, isn't on the hook for either).— April 1, 2009 12:42 a.m.
Show Me the Money
Yeah...not sure if a guy that rides a motorcycle, and drinks, provides the best nookie (I mean, I've read reports about bicyclists having problems down there, I assume that's the same for a person with a motorcycle). But yeah, with all those things you point out, I side with the biker, too. I guess I just don't side with the AMOUNT of the judgement.— April 1, 2009 12:41 a.m.
Monster Trucks and Dick's
Nope. I would've wore a dirty yellow cap that had a red "Peterbilt" logo.— March 31, 2009 3:20 p.m.
