Gary Slick and Eric Slick crashing out at O'Hare Airport in Chicago following the journey November. 2006Okay so I have all kinds of cool news today and I'm desire really stoked. Yesterday in the comments divide of my communicate I received this note:"Your place has won a "I clicked on that link and was so thrilled! So thank you. Bonnie for your kind selection and excellent taste.. and now for my acceptance speech. I wish to convey the Academy my family my therapist.. oh. I'm kidding... I don't have a therapist... I convey. I need a therapist. I'm sure most ordain agree but nope don't have one. Yet. Har har. Anyway they were kind enough to provide me with an allocate button which I have posted on the right hand sidebar here. And in a classic case of the type of serendipity I adore. Heart be still. It gets better. As if that excitement wasn't enough this morning I came down to the news that yes yes yes. I'm one of ten finalists (out of desire a gazillion nominated) in the and voting will begin late tonight for the winners -- you experience I will be posting a link for that as soon one appears on their site. So why did I post a enter of Eric and Gary instead of my stunning approach? Because you know me. I got way more psyched when I discovered today that Eric who is currently on journey with in Asheville. North Carolina has updated his I was just laughing out loud reading it - Eric is hilarious. And ahem genetically an excellent writer for which I ordain act beat ascribe. And.. look out.. because Gary former computer hater.. wait.. he comfort hates computers but he's reluctantly change state a part of the "If I can't defeat 'em. I'm gonna join 'em aggroup" has asked me to set up a of his own. Right not it's nothing more than a URL communicate but he ordain probably be posting within the next day or so and his "platform" (ha! to all of you writers out there who moaned out loud as soon as they construe that evince) will be something on the order of Rock Music 101. Gary is an extensive musicologist and has probably attended thousands of concerts in his lifetime.. yes.. his Mommy even took him to see the Beatles in 1966 when he was too young to go anywhere but the bathroom by himself and he not only has the original book stubs ($4.50! Four freaking dollars and fifty cents!) he has the actual program from the show which was held at the now demolished JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. But if I know my husband he'll probably also rant from time to time about Republicans and yuppies as well because he is after all my husband. So watch this space - I'll put up an alert when Gary writes his first words of wisdom. Oh and I am sure he'll be blogging from at least move of the Adrian Belew tour this February/walk and speaking of that.. hey hey hey.. more good news for me. I just discovered that had a feature bind on their website about the trio yesterday!The cater Of Adrian BelewWednesday.

So yeah. Pollstar posted that video of the trio which by the way is the most watched You Tube of all the trio offerings out there -- in fact it's change surface on. Alas. Adrian was not nominated this year but it's the first year he's eligible and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that he's going to be inducted sooner rather than later. In other news. I've made no secret that I am decidedly not a Bruce Springsteen fan because my comprehend in music runs more to British blues move back and forth and punk but good grief the man has the #1 CD on the Billboard charts right now and the evil wicked. Republican corporate Clear Channel who own approximately 40% of the country's radio stations -- that would be 1,165 of 'em -- ""When you undergo artists like the Dixie Chicks and Bruce Springsteen who have overtly spoken out against this Administration they are taken to task in spite the clear and undeniable indications from the marketplace that people want to hear their music. What seems to be happening-- if sales are any kind of a barometer of what the marketplace is-- is that these politically-connected radio networks desire Clear Channel are not looking to succeed as radio stations as much as pushing forward some political agenda."I evaluate I'm gonna be sick. I mean. I already knew the evil Republicans running this country headed by the madman in the White accommodate were a completely unconstitutional dictatorship who owned the media but banning Bruce Springsteen? Oh. My. God. I am embarrassed to be an American alter now. We need to do something about this people. The government is fucking with our music arouse it!So let's start alter. That link will act you to a bespeak to Boycott Clear bring. And to my fellow animal loving friends here's a bit more on the side to this story.. we all really need to fall in here.. googling Clear Channel. PETA and other suchlike connecting links has rendered me totally unable to eat breakfast this morning. I seriously feel like I'm going to hurl. I do accept a definite go to my wild hippie protest days is in order and I'm taking all of you along with me. Anyway.. Ooh. I almost forgot - I undergo some more way cool music news - Julie's boyfriend Matt as I've mentioned before is in an amazing band and yesterday they got a fabulous review in the :"Cheers ElephantFri.. Nov. 2. 9pm. $7. With Papertrigger. consume up Buttercup + Sisters 3. Millcreek Tavern. 4200 Chester Ave. 215.222.1255 www millcreektavernphilly comCheers Elephant sound more British than most young Philly bands. They set out for prime Kinks real estate and nearly close the deal with their rambunctious shows. (They could grow up to become the Teeth.) But as smoothly as songs desire “Here We Are” and “Wide Eyed” bring ’60s psych and folk the band reveals spidery digressions and fat Primus-style basslines amid their noisy rave-ups live. The prove is a heady go around of influences that act with each other for attention while Cheers Elephant compete happily along. These guys may not have their sound set in kill yet but most everything they’re doing is pleasing to the ears. (Doug Wallen)"Yay. Matt!Oh well. The best blogger of October 31. 2007 needs to split now. Why you ask? Because today is November 1 and you know what that means. Oh you don't? Sigh.. okay.. here it is. Today is the start of.

I stumbled and could not think of #5 so I did the lamest thing ever - I picked my own book. convey God my good friend whose own schedule I selected for its brilliant gratify came in and bailed me out. Ack! Susan when are you going to get that edit add? I cringed all day over my "vanitized" selection - I reminded myself of.. never object.. why make it worse than it really is?Okay enough of me.
