  1. Ironically, there was a full-page article in many Canadian newspapers today about Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The article's byline says ...(Netanyahu) has guided the country toward political moderation... and possibly, peace"

  2. If the Americans maintained their equipment and didn't man their platforms with mouth breathers and ex cons, this could have been avoided.

    I thought it was a British Petroleum platform.

    Peace out everyone! Have a great weekend. Don't worry about oil spills, dead former child actors, or Willie Nelson's ponytails. Don't watch any network TV. And feel free to pay for that coffee with pennies.

  3. Went to see this "supergroup" last night. I enjoyed the show very much.

    When I first heard their album, I thought it a difficult listen, but eventually it grew on me. Some of the songs remind me of Cream.

    The band, made up of Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl, and Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age and Kyuss (as well as guest guitarist/keyboardist Alain Johannes for the tour) played for two solid hours and really jammed out the tunes. The crowd, mostly 20-somethings (I felt old) really got into it - most dancing through the entire performance.

    Dave Grohl is a monster behind the drum kit, Jones' bass playing is thunderous. He also played several other instruments - fiddle, keyboards, etc.)

    One might expect such a band to trot out songs from their past. I was half expecting to hear "No Quarter", for example, but no. Towards the end of the show, Josh said "This will be our last song - we don't do covers, and we don't do encores".

    There was no need - Them Crooked Vultures stand on their own.
