Fuck you Rogge. Seriously. What an ass. I guess we've NEVER seen any other Olympians celebrate before? Bite me.

I'm thinking of doing the same. My wife told me she saw tons of camping stuff on sale at Sears yesterday. I need a bigger tent for the two of us and the two kids

Looks interesting. Thanks Phishtaper CBC show just started. I don't want to be at work anymore

http://www.cbc.ca/radio2/blog/2008/08/20/los_lobos_on_canada.html Los Lobos On Canada Live Posted by Li Robbins on August 20, 2008 at 03:00 AM Ll2If you happen to be in Chicago's marvellous Grant Park on Sunday you can hear Los Lobos live at the Viva Chicago Latin Music Festival. If not, you can hear them Wednesday night on Canada Live (8 p.m.) with their usual Los Lobos blend of blues, rock, various Mexican and Tex-Mex styles. Apparently their next album is covers of songs associated with Walt Disney flicks -- could this really be true? I can hear them doing Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah. I think. The Wolves aside, also on this evening's programme, a concert by one-time Van the Man sideMan, James Hunter, this from last year's Edmonton Folk Fest. And to round out the evening from the same festival, music from Marty Stuart And The Fabulous Superlatives. What can I say, they're brilliant, amazing, incredible!

I've always loved Powderfinger too. I read the analysis on the link you provided. Funny, as I never really thought of it in that light. I have tended to think of it more in a historical perspective and taking place in Civil War times in the South. I then went to the second page of the analysis and found many more that went that way too. Check it out: http://www.thrasherswheat.org/fot/powderfinger-lyrics-analysis.htm I had Rust Never Sleeps on while reading it and Powderfinger came on in perfect timing Party on the Floor @ ACC Dec 4th ... be there

Yeah, like Carl Lewis (fucking cheat). I'm hoping the Bolt is clean too. That was one helluva performance;

19:30

Still, $87 for Neil Young AND Wilco?!?!?! The price really isn't bothering me knowing what they're going to be bringing to the show.

W O W !

Thanks for the tip. Just turned the TV on. Here they go ....

This is really too bad. I had the opportunity of meeting him once. Back in '95 at a festival in Switzerland. We talked for about half an hour. Really nice guy. We'll miss you Leroi

IN 3 x GA for Toronto :)

Well, i already got 3 copies of that from the last tour Good luck everyone ... here we go

I agree. Quite wild. Looks like a lot of fun too. Would love to give that track a try Freaky tattoo on one of the Brit cyclists:

And yet again ... another team doing the 'slant eye' pose. WTF?!?!? Seriously: http://machochip.com/2008/08/why-oh-why-argentinian-women-s.php Argentine Women's Soccer Players Are Latest Spanish-Speaking Group Of Olympians With "Slant-Eyes" Pics The first time is chance. The second time is coincidence. The third time is a pattern. As the battle rages on over whether the Spanish nation’s Olympic heroes are racist for their slant-eyed shenanigans, another country whose main language is Spanish and main food staple is meat has found itself in the discussion. A picture has just come to light showing members of Argentina’s Women’s Olympic soccer team slanting their eyes like the Spanish basketball and tennis teams did before them. (Also check out Latinos hate Asians coverage on Guanabee). In reality however, the images were taken a week before the Spaniards’ but are just surfacing now like stinky, dead fish in a polluted river. The photo was published - without provoking controversy - in the Argentine sports newspaper Ole on Aug 5, to accompany a preview of the team’s first match of the tournament against Canada. It was taken more than a week before adverts featuring the Spanish men’s and women’s basketball teams in similar poses sparked international criticism. The image shows players Maria Potassa, Eva Gonzalez, Fabiana Vallejos and Andrea Ojeda smiling broadly as they pull back the skin on the side of their eyes, in a crude impersonation of Chinese people. There is no suggestion that the four footballers intended to cause offence. Again with this “didn’t mean to offend.†Then what the hell were you doing? At least own up to the fact you were mocking the appearance of someone different than you, then give one of those fake apologies athletes like to give instead of feigning not understanding how something this egregious is racist. In the long run, saying “I’m sorry I picked up that hooker†is a lot better than “I was just giving her a ride†in a world ready to give famous people second acts.
