Paul McCartney Rocks SunLife Stadium

It was twenty years ago today, Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play. Okay, that's totally inaccurate but it remains a fine way to begin a Beatles related post. The concert began with a pre-concert meal at the Hard Rock Casino, but since I was a bit early I decided to donate some money to [...]

Bandersnatch

I haven't used this word today and decided I would. Thanks, as always, to Lewis Carroll for this bon mot. It's a good word and always at home on the memo line of a cheque. Sometimes 13 is good. Or 12. I'll have to consult with Jose on that.
For those who do not want to [...]

A Collection From A Cluttered Mind

The internet is full of pearls of wisdom. This one made me laugh: Going to McDonald's for a salad is like going to a brothel for a hug. Word.
My friend John and I have an ongoing argument about AC/DC. We like them, but they've been recording the same songs for years. It is John's (erroneous) [...]

Clapton In Review

I guess I'll make my official first CONTENT post on the new blog and begin with a review of the Eric Clapton concert 11 March 2010 at Bank Atlantic Center. This is my first Clapton concert, but it likely won't be my last. His opening act was Roger Daltry. Roger said he was the "supporting [...]

Busking For Nothing and your Chicks For Free

First, special thanks to Jose Marquez. Everyone needs a friend like him. But not everyone deserves one.
You've all heard of American Idol. I apologize for bringing it up and in no way think that show has any redeeming value. However, in the same vein TfL (Transport for London) is now having a competition to allot [...]

The Big-Ass Concert Post To End All Concert Posts

Mom had mentioned that my cousin Ken could rattle off every concert he ever went to. I'm just not that good with my memory in some things. However, I do save my ticket stubs and so I was able to compile this list. Venue names are the name of the venue as printed on the [...]

The Vatican and I Agree….

… on something. Seriously. While they didn't check with me first, this article tells it all. It sort of relates to my infamous Led Zeppelin post by failing to mention Led Zeppelin at all. The actual article can be found on the Vatican's website in L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican's official newspaper. If I'm going to [...]

Gypsies In The Palace: Jimmy Buffett Concert Review

I saw the 2010 Summerzcool Tour final date at BankAtlantic center last night (27 Feb) with Evan, Brenda, Greg, Gaby, Mom, and Karen.
We started at Renegade for and early dinner. We were there at 515, Karen followed two minutes later, John and Liz right after that. Evan and Brenda brought up the rear. I've only [...]

JD Salinger Buys an iPad. Not.

First, RIP to legendary author and recluse Jerome David Salinger who died today. In an AP story today humorist John Hodgman was quoted as saying, "I prefer to think JD Salinger has just decided to become extra reclusive." Mr Salinger was most famous for introducing world to Holden Caulfield.
Next up, a quick nod to all [...]

London Day Six (Cold Rain)

Today we got up and exchange our room keys. We're moving from paid nights to free nights for the balance of the trip. Everyone here's in a tizzy over VAT changing back because of the computer ramifications. They're going to make the entire hotel check out 1-1 and check back in at the new rate. [...]
