From ABC: As President Bush took a question Thursday in the White House Rose Garden about scandals involving his Attorney General, he remarked, "I've got confidence in Al Gonzales doin' the job." Simultaneously, a sparrow flew overhead and left a splash on the President's sleeve, which Bush tried several times to wipe off. Deputy White House Press Secretary Dana Perino promptly put the incident through the proper spin cycle, telling ABC News, "It was his lucky day…everyone knows that's a sign of good luck."

LOL ... it's been fun following this one to see if anyone would actually check out the link without the article being copied into the post It's a US based email where somebody in Canada got "clever" and changed the names of those involved in the email. Snopes is one of the most important resources on the interweb, imho. http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/gasout.asp

If you "right click" and "view image" of the first graphic you can zoom in and read some of the text. It's pretty funky the way it's laid out.

http://www.startribune.com/music/story/1204514.html [blurb] Ex-Phish singer drops out of 10,000 Lakes Fest Last update: May 24, 2007 – 12:33 PM Ordered into rehab last month, Trey Anastasio will be replaced by String Cheese Incident at the July event. Former Phish guitarist and frontman Trey Anastasio has canceled his return appearance at this summer's 10,000 Lakes Festival in Detroit Lakes, but organizers already have replaced him with another jam-band favorite, the String Cheese Incident. [/blurb] Anastasio's exit was chalked up by 10K Lakes staff to "circumstances beyond control." Last month, the 42-year-old rock veteran -- who currently has no other performances scheduled this summer -- was ordered to undergo drug treatment and a year of strict court supervision after pleading guilty to a Dec. 15 charge in upstate New York for drug possession. An official statement from Anastasio's publicist said, "Trey is disappointed he is unable to play the festival this year but is looking forward to returning for the 2008 10,000 Lakes Festival." String Cheese Incident will perform two sets on the third night of the four-day event, July 18-21, joining a lineup that also includes Bob Weir & RatDog, Gov't Mule, Umphrey's McGee, the Zappa Plays Zappa tour and more.

This is a pretty cool image depicting Jerry's influences. Too bad it's not at a resolution to see it clearly to read it all http://www.bantjes.com/index.php?id=165 To further commemorate our current Icon we asked Marian Bantjes to design a poster of Jerry Garcia's musical family tree. She replied with this spectacular Skittles dreamcatcher which we have now made available in the bountiful FADER Store for you to purchase with beads and shells. Nah, you gotta use money, but it's worth it. If haven't yet, download the current issue and its complimentary complementary jamcast.

http://concerts.wolfgangsvault.com/concertdetail.aspx?id=1756|15876 Crosby, Nash and Young Winterland San Francisco, CA 03/26/1972 Tracks: 15 Total Time: 1:03:45 David Crosby - guitar, vocals Graham Nash - guitar, piano, vocals Neil Young - guitar, piano, vocals By early 1972, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young were enjoying massive success, both as a group with tremendous album sales, and as a touring band in high demand. Individually, they had recently recorded career-defining solo albums, but had not toured together in well over a year, which heightened the frenzy for any public appearance. This Sheriff's Benefit concert to help raise awareness of prisoner issues featured local groups Earth Rise and Stoneground opening for Elvin Bishop and headliners Crosby-Nash, who had recently recorded their first self-titled duo album. Neil Young was a very welcome surprise guest during the Crosby-Nash set. He had also been off the road, recording the now legendary Harvest album; the most popular and commercially successful of his entire career. To say the three of them together was a momentous occasion in March of 1972 is not overstating it, as these guys were at the peak of their popularity. They were international superstars and the press was touting them as everything from "the second coming" to "the new Beatles." Unlike later Crosby-Nash performances, when they had a full band supporting them, this is a very relaxed, totally acoustic affair. A few CSNY favorites, such as the set opener, "Wooden Ships," and two tracks from Déjà vu, Nash's "Teach Your Children" and Crosby's "Almost Cut My Hair" (a rarity in acoustic form) are featured, but the set primarily focuses on newer material from their solo albums. This was a particularly prolific era for Graham Nash, who had released some of his most memorable songs over the previous two years. From his excellent Songs For Beginners LP are the politically charged "Military Madness" and "Chicago," in addition to "I Used To Be A King," one of his most beautiful songs (which featured backing by the Grateful Dead on the album version.) Three of his best songs from the debut Crosby-Nash album are also included; "Southbound Train," "And So It Goes" and "Immigration Man." Crosby's acoustic guitar playing and harmony vocals greatly enhance much of Nash's material. In addition to the aforementioned Crosby numbers, the pair performs a lovely acoustic rendition of "All Along The Lee Shore" and Crosby debut's "Page 43.†As one might expect, the crowd is very appreciative when they invite Neil Young to the stage, who begins with the title track from Harvest, followed by a lovely version of "Only Love Can Break Your Heart." When he returns later in the set, two more classic Harvest tracks are performed; "Old Man" and "The Needle And The Damage Done," and he remains for the rest of the killer set.

Less drama for NBC coverage if they started with Game #1. They want to start with Game #3. When is Game #3? Next Saturday ... go figure. On NBC: Game #1 would conflict with Miss Universe 2007! Game #2 would conflict with Outrageous TV Moments and Medium. You can see where programming priority lies

Get in a boat, and pull up along side the venue. You can then get in

Great set! You aren't the only one Rob. The April '71 Fillmore run is one of the prime reasons I really got 'on the bus'.
