Mess With the Bull, Get the Horns

·

I heard over the weekend, that in Yellowstone National Park, a 12-year-old boy was injured after a bison he was posing near for a photo, flipped him into the air. The Pennsylvania boy was only a few feet from the …

House of Blues Gave Me the Blues

·

I haven't heard that Steve Poltz song in years. I think it's called "Me and Eddie Vedder," where he talks about the cool way for rock stars to die. What a great tune. That has nothing to to with todays …

Crowd Control

·

I went to a Padres game last weekend. My first game in about a year and a half. It's strange, because I go to so many concerts, that I had to make a comparison on the crowds (and this isn't …

Under the Covers

·

It's weird. I've said this before. I can blog about something like the legal system. Or child abuse. And a few people comment. Yet, I do a list of the best comedians and that's where I get the most comments. …

Dumb Imus (race relations and the NFL)

·

I've never liked Don Imus. Mostly because he's a horrible DJ. I think when radio started, you needed to have a good voice. Has anyone listened to this dude? It sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles. And, …

The Biggest Waste of Money Ever

·

I heard this story a few weeks ago. But, when I saw the actual photo in the L.A. Times...well, a picture really is worth a thousand words. In an auction, a record was broken for a painting that sold by …

Rapper's Delight (when they diss others)

·

I was listening to sports radio when I first heard Shaq dissing Kobe Bryant yesterday. What made this especially fun to hear, was that I was talking to one of my friends when the Lakers were down a game to …

50 Cent, Britney Spears, and Axl Rose (hey, this sounds like a Jay Sanford blog)

·

Well, about a month ago...Dr. Pepper decided to have some fun with Axl Rose. I say Axl Rose. Everyone else calls them Guns 'N Roses. I can't really call them that. I mean, that band had Slash, Duff, and all …

How Far Would You Travel For a Concert?

·

Maybe I'll ask this as an Off the Cuff question. I dunno. I seem to end up asking a lot of music questions though. My friend Doug called me from Coloroda tonight. He flew there to see Robert Plant/Allison Krause, …

100 Greatest Stand-Up Comics Ever

·

I hate when David Letterman does a Top 10 list, and I can think of 3 or 4 things that would've been funnier. I hate when AFI releases a list of the best comedies, and I don't agree with the …

You Can't Hide Your Pryin' Eyes

·

I bought a birthday card for my friend Judy, a liberal lawyer. One of the few hardcore liberals I can actually stand. Oh, except when she tells me about the money and volunteering she does for the ACLU, an organization …

San Diego County Fair

·

The Fair is so ridiculous on so many levels. But, I still end up going. Usually because I have friends going, and I want to hang with them. Sometimes there's a band I want to see. One time Joe Walsh. …

Our Idiotic Legal System (the anti-Fred and Rickey Says blog)

·

I'm going to make this blog short. I just can't write much on this or I'm going to go nuts. I heard an L.A. radio show today, before the Lakers/Celts game, -- they were talking about a case from 2005. …

Tim Russert, Al Gore, Hulk Hogan, and...

·

I really can't figure the news out. Usually I understand why they do what they do. But, I couldn't figure out why Larry King dropped Steve Carrell as his guest, for "breaking news" that Al Gore was going to endorse …

The Tony Awards vs. NBA Finals

·

Since I'm not gay, it was an easy choice, really. I'd be watching the NBA Finals on Sunday night. Not the Tony Awards. But, a monkey wrench was thrown into the mix. A friend of mine, an amazing musician, singer/songwriter …

R. Kelly -- R U Serious????

·

So...it was 3:00 a.m. the other night, and I was going thru the channels. I watched one of those crazy video shows. These cops in Dade County, Florida pulled a guy over. I remember "Dade County" from one of the …

Collecting Things

·

So many people like to collect, but they're horrible at it. As a kid, my favorite thing about the Del Mar Fair was looking at the section that had collections. Whether it was matchbooks or salt and pepper shakers, it …

The Jury System

·

Our jury system sucks. It's as simple as that. I thought about writing on juries when I saw a story in the paper last week about a court in Sydney, Australia. A judge ended a trial because some of the …

Service at Restaurants

·

I'll tip big if the service is good or I like the waitress. I gave a $10 tip on a $19 bill at Fridays the other day. But I've talked about bad service and how low the tip should be …

Ted Nugent For President

·

I saw Ted Nugent in concert last night. And I can honestly say, I'm officially burned out on him. I saw Nuge when I was 20. Loved it. Saw him with the Damn Yankees a few years later. Loved that. …

Hillary and Kobe -- The Shocking Truth

·

I don't know a lot about politics. I'll be the first to admit that. I probably know more than the average person, since I read the paper each day. I watch the news. I'll laugh when Jay Leno asks someone …

Missing the Boat on Hummers

·

I couldn't believe a paper on Sunday, in New York, cost me $4. Maybe I'm used to seeing Readers for free. That makes throwing down four bucks for a newspaper just seem insane. I was reading it on the plane. …

Maids Suck

First, there was the story in the news about a maid the robbed this guy. It was hard for me to feel sympathy for the guy. His wife went away on business, and he hired a maid. Oh, not for …

Party Crasher by Proxy

I met a guy named Fred at the party that was at the W. We had some great conversations. I told him I was heading to New York, and he joked about doing a Crasher in my place. He ended …

Hey Bo Diddley

Music legend Bo Diddley passes away.

I saw Jay Sanford had a blog on Bo Diddley. And, I did a Blurt on Bo Diddley after he played a show at the Belly Up Tavern years ago. He yelled at me backstage. I had asked him to …

Crack is Whack

Another child actor arrested.

Younger people won't remember who Tatum O'Neal is. I barely remember her being the youngest female to win an Oscar (for Paper Moon). I think she was also the female in Bad News Bears (the Walter Matheau version, not Billy …

Black Belt on Broadway

A Bruce Lee musical in the works.

I love New York. The shows, the deli's....and stop telling me about D.Z. Akin's. It's so overrated. Yeah, sure, it might be the best in the San Diego area. But so what. Stew, not the crazed baby from Family Guy, …

A Short One (While He's Away)

Hotel room noise.

Sorry. This isn't about The Who (that is a great tune, isn't it?) But, since I'm on vacation, I didn't want to spend it sitting in front of a computer doing blogs. It's almost 4 a.m. and the people in …
