Robert Downey Jr was once so high he walked into his neighbour's house, thinking it was his own, and crawled into what he thought was his bed, which was a sure shock to the young boy currently occupying said bed.

Just because people disagree how he came off in the interview doesn't mean anyone's grumpy.

the ultimate sign of conceit is when someone is in an interview and they start asking themselves questions and then answering them. SHUT UP!

Happy Birthday sweetie!

Anyone remember when he was a guest on CBC's The Hour? It was a discussion on current events with Dr Ben Harper and I have rarely heard a man more in love with the sound of his own voice than Eggs Benny that day. I too lost interest in him long ago. Talented guy - he just seemed to buy into his own hype. That Zooma tour was excellent though.

They pulled in 16,000 to the LA Sports Arena, last week..... crazy! Good on 'em.

he's doing 2 nights at Massey Hall, no?

Jack White's so nice he makes it twice!

All the best to you Luke, hope you have a great day!

I don't get it either.

outside of a slim sliver of people in North America, no-one cares about any of those acts. They're either redundant or ineffectual. They're certainly completely unimportant in 2007.

She's really stepping up her game.

I thought it was a joke, Clearly jam is dead. Oh well, life goes on.

Here's to two of the most kind and wonderful people I've ever had the privelege to know. Their wedding was just perfect, full of music and love, dancing and sunshine. Thank you Todd and Sara for being the good and decent people you are. Here's to a lifetime of love and happiness!

nice. I just listened to The Smiths the other day. Now, admittedly I'm back to this one: I like it, quite a bit. I don't think it's top of the drawer for him but it's a perfectly enjoyable buying of time before he goes totally utterly bonkers again. Which is gonna be great!

hey man, I didn't mean any hard feelings... I gotta admit I thought you were being sincere! Go on DSO tour if that's your deal but in terms of "will there be another".... I wouldn't say they'd be an ideal candidate.

the next big thing to rally the masses is a band performing another bands shows?!?

Not for me. In fact, the intervening years has given me the perspective to start to think that when all is said and done, Phish will be seen as a nothing more than a curiosity in rock history. It is revealing that despite our view of them as being HUGE, they really weren't: they were HUGE on the East Coast and rode a wave of popular curisoity throught the rest of America. But by the end of their career, they played to substantially less than capacity crowds all over the West Coast and even the East Coast numbers were in freefall (until Coventry was announced as the final gig). Sure, the festivals were impressive, but in the end a yearly gathering of 70,000 diehards does not a HUGE band make. Not when hardly anyone outside of North America could have given two shits about them whatsoever. Their records were released to a national yawn from the public in general. Were they a huge important band, or an American curiosity? Their cultural legacies may well outlive the music. And on a personal level, I'm separating the "time of life" associations from my take on their music: they could be exceptional, no doubt. But I have almost zero desire to listen to their music, which often strikes as just silly these days (and not in a good way anymore). On the other hand, I'll listen to the Dead until they day I die? Why? Songs, songs, songs.
