Film industry trade papers reported today that Wilson will not appear in the Dreamworks movie, already six weeks into production in Hawaii, Daily Variety and The Hollywood Reporter said. Citing sources they didn't identify, the decision was characterized as a mutual agreement between director Ben Stiller and the 38-year-old actor, who was taken to the hospital Sunday after police responded to the report of a suicide attempt at his Santa Monica home. The Hollywood Reporter said Wilson had a minor part in the movie, which stars Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. and revolves around a group of actors who find themselves in the middle of a war. Wilson's part was to be filmed in just a week, the trade paper said. Wilson was hooked on heroin and cocaine, struggling with depression and hanging out with the wrong crowd in the months before his attempted suicide, according to a bombshell new report. Wilson's drug use was so frequent, it was even the cause of his Memorial Day breakup with Kate Hudson. And his friends are placing the blame squarely on Wilson's newfound best buddy, British actor Steve Coogan, with whom he starred in several films, according to exclusive interviews in US Weekly magazine. "I went through it with Steve," Coogan's former girlfriend, rocker Courtney Love, told US. "I was just out of rehab, and he was right there with the drugs. I tried to warn Owen. I tried to warn his friends. I hope from the bottom of my heart that Owen stays the hell away from that guy." Wilson's addiction was so severe, his pal Woody Harrelson tried to stage an intervention at his home in Maui. "Owen went to Maui, Hawaii, to kick his habit," a longtime Wilson pal told the mag. "He was like a baby on that couch." The friend said that heroin was the first thing that came to mind when Wilson and Hudson split and he suddenly "disappeared off the face of the earth." "I thought, briefly, he might be back on heroin, but we all really felt he'd kicked that ages ago," his friend said. The Santa Monica Police Department logged Sunday's distress call as a report of "attempted suicide," during which Wilson "cut his wrists with a knife," said a Cedars Sinai hospital employee. Another cause of his depression was his very public split with Hudson, sources say. The two hooked up, and Hudson left her husband after they promoted their hit film "You, Me and Dupree" last year. But it all became too much for the actress when Wilson's struggles came to light. She even banned Coogan from Wilson's house while they were dating. "She knew he was bad," said a source. US said Coogan didn't respond to repeated calls for comment. A family friend said that Wilson was dealing with too much at once and couldn't handle it. "It didn't work with Kate because he just couldn't be dependable, and he hated himself for it," said the friend. Hudson appears to have moved on - kissing and cuddling in public recently with "Punk'd" star Dax Shepard - yet another reason Wilson may have gone off the deep end. "Seeing her happy with someone else partly made him happy that she'd found that," a friend of Wilson's told the mag. "But made him hate himself so much more that he could never do it." But it seems she still cares for her ex - she was spotted Sunday looking somber on the set of her new movie "Bachelor No. 2," filming in Boston. After Owen was found by younger brother Luke on Sunday bloodied and disoriented from pills, he was taken to St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, where he was detoxed and had his wrist sutured. He was transferred Monday to Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles, where he remains under the close watch of doctors.

Yup, sendspace it like bradm said. If it's not too much, that is. Would be a great mix to toss on this long weekend when friends are over Anything you'd like in return? I've got access to the CBC music library here :D

Damn I want to be there ... i'm just not up for the drive in right now ... the beers are cold here and the glass is packed ... i'll have to suffice with some quality sound coming out of my speakers here Have a great show everyone.

That made me giggle. Ottawa is just fine, but I fail to see any sort of comparison to San Francisco. That's a S T R E T C H

Damn ... now i gotta add Battlestar Galactica to my list

Here's a streaming site I hadn't been to yet. It's DAMN FINE so far. You can choose via genre and your mood. Excellent stuff: http://www.musicovery.com/

I've seen him play smaller venues, but they weren't for E-Street tours: Massey Hall - Ghost of Tom Joad 1995 Fox Theater Detroit - Devils & Dust 2005 Cobo Hall Detroit - Vote for Change 2004 Bruce with the E-Streeters KICKASS in arenas, and can pull it off in stadiums too.

This is a piece of art ... and looks like a lot of fun. Check out the link for more pics: http://www.freespiritspheres.com/eryn.htm

Facing a draft, Nugent bravely wet his pants Rocker is all talk as he calls Obama, Hillary vile names August 27, 2007 BY RICHARD ROEPER Sun-Times Columnist So Ted Nugent roams a concert stage while toting automatic weapons, calls Barack Obama "a piece of -----" and says he told Obama to suck on one of his machine-guns. He also calls Hillary Clinton a "worthless bitch" and Dianne Feinstein a "worthless whore." That Nugent, he's a man's man. He talks the talk and walks the walk, right? Except when it was time to register for the draft during the Vietnam era. By his own admission, Nugent stopped all forms of personal hygiene for a month and showed up for his draft board physical in pants caked with his own urine and feces, winning a deferment. Creative! Ah, but that was a long time ago. Nugent isn't just a washed-up rocker -- he's a right-wing madman who's not afraid to call out some of the leading Democrats in language so vile it makes the Dixie Chick Natalie Maines' comments about President Bush sound like a love poem. You'd think even someone such as Sean Hannity would dismiss Nugent as a macho clown, desperate for attention. Yeah, right. In a discussion on his show last week, Hannity refused to condemn Nugent's remarks, saying, "I like Ted Nugent . . . he's a friend of mine," and even laughing loudly as Alan Colmes read the transcript of some of Nugent's remarks. Funny. I don't remember Hannity being so cavalier about the Dixie Chicks went they criticized Bush. Not that he's operating under a double standard or anything.

ya never know! It says the same on Pollstar. http://pollstar.com/tour/searchall.pl?Content=A-BRUSPR&StartSearch.x=11&StartSearch.y=11&Date_From=Today&Date_To=08-27-2009&By=All&PSKey=Y There's nothing scheduled in at Corel/Scotiabank Place (or whatever that place is called now )

Do it ... that Skydome '93 show was fluff. Nothing at all like an E-Street show. (the Skydome show where they opened the roof, and right after Warren Zevon's death, was spectacular). Definite value for your concert dollar at work here for sure
